Song of the Day: That Feeling – Liquid Ltd

In these unprecedented times, Stephen “Liquid Ltd” Hawley has created a light spirited feel good vibe on his latest single, ‘That Feeling’.

Liquid Ltd is best known for his work in co-writing the multi-platinum selling hit ‘Drinking In LA’ which saw him travel the world playing major festivals and performing on Top Of The Pops and MTV back in the day with his Bran Van 3000 clique.

Produced by Emmy nominated/Billboard charting producer Rench out of Brooklyn, ‘That Feeling’ is out now on various download/streaming sites…check it out below.

Song of the Day: Calling You – HXXD

Following on from his recent drop ‘Conversations Freestyle’, Mancunian native HXXDZ continues to bring the levels with single, ‘Calling You’.

Having received support from the likes of Mixtape Madness, Link Up TV, P110 and GRM Daily, this young artist is really making a name for himself in the UK scene.

With a slew of releases in the pipeline, this really is just the beginning for Hxxdz, growing as an artist with each release, he’s someone you should definitely be keeping an eye on. Check him out below…
