Spotlight There’s Always Tomorrow The brand new video has been released for this heartfelt song by T8PES featuring Leanne Louise. Filmed around his hometown of Birmingham, we see the reflections of his story as told in the lyrics. As if we’ve stepped into his world, reflecting on the past together with him, visiting those places and memories. Hanging out with his friends around the streets, reliving his rebellion and learning through the mistakes. The video is created by Highlight Films, T8PES mentions it is “shot on location in the manor where I grew up, documenting the places I lived and frequented, and featuring lads I've known for 30 years.” The single is a part of the acclaimed << album which combines a love of rave culture together with positive life messages. Rhythm Of Life Forward-thinking electronic collective 8 Bit Society share a gorgeous studio performance session of their latest release. It’s really interesting to see the clever work of laying down the sounds on the keyboard in real-time with the vocalist pouring his heart out on the mic. This is a really lovely, smooth and soulful song with those retro synths adding fun spice. ADE Unless you live on Mars and have never heard of music, you will surely know that Amsterdam Dance Event aka one of the most notorious dance gatherings was another success this last month. It was amazing that more of our friends including Daniel Wanrooy, Bobbin Head Music, D3EP Radio Network and Stashed got the opportunity to head down there and show Amsterdam what they’re made of. Luxury Beats Stunning, divine, glamorous production work. Hannah V has revealed a snippet of her new series of tracks. It is just gorgeous with glistening strings, the melodic grand piano and contemporary beat patterns. She describes the beat pack to be filled with a “luxurious, extravagant, ‘chillin on a yacht’” style sounds.

Seen Through We have exciting news that the lovely MaHA Rocks is recording a new album! She shared a homemade video as she works on this demo song speaking of a faltering love. It has a fighting spirit and a passionate guitar melody at the break section. Certi DJ S.K.T has just released this absolute banger featuring Youngman. The lively house production will get the clubs jumping with a feelgood lyrical flow and addictive dance beat. The track is a rework of Marshall Jefferson's ‘Move Your Body’. Roma Featured on ‘Valentino, Born In Roma’ advert. The song by Trinity Ezah grabbed me instantly with the bold jangles of sounds, a modern atmosphere and beat structure and the cool urban rap. You envision a stylish catwalk of Roma yet there is violent clash of a flaring trumpet and bass, manicured nails like daggers in your skin.

THINGS THAT MAKE ME

SMILE. www.AudationMagazine.com

RUBY'S TRACK OF THE MONTH 'Feel Up' by Pia Mia feat. YG Pure fire! Coming straight in with that naughty little bass and vocal sample. Pia Miaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s smooth voice oozes in seductive yet full of attitude and independent strength. Then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hit with that brilliant flick of a high note. The bouncy beat makes you snap your fingers together and throw them hips into a groove. YG enters with a dirty street flow. Now you been turning your back on me got me so cold. A song of questioning the truth. Make me feel like this is real love. The fresh hip hop production is hard, addictive and makes you shout out pull up! www.instagram.com/princesspiamia 13

Taking you backstage into my own personal little paradise aka the musical mind of DMIZE… These last few months have been fun as he’s gotten back into the groove of producing new material and having a weekly slot on Cyber Vybez Radio. Don’t forget to tune in every Thursday, 6-8pm :) … I always love to discover music through his sets and recommendations, because they are always absolute undiscovered gems. The first track I want to mention is a Deep House one which I just cannot get out of my head, ‘Love Is Stronger’ by Joshua Iz featuring Diz. There is a simple and somewhat monotonic yet addictive beat repetition which instantly grabs you, this comes together with an oozy loving and soulful male vocal. Next up are a couple from the brilliant CJ Reign. ‘Watertight (CJ Reign Remix)’ by MJ Cole featuring Laura Vane is a charming little UKG number consisting of a light, flitty production with a pretty and vibrant female vocal. ‘Move My Way (Steppers Dub)’ by CJ Reign is a bright piece with a fresh, bubbly vibe and various choppy vocal cuts - the female in particular is oh so smooth and sumptuous! The final pick from DMIZE’s current collection is ‘Crazy’ by Rocket Dubz . It has that wonderful oldschool feel with a little skippy beat, warm jazzy notes and a feisty female vocal… Moving onto some productions by DMIZE himself, he’s really feeling the Garage House wave right now which is influencing his latest sounds. One of my favourite’s is ‘Garage Groove’ which has lively beat work and soulful flares - it’s not too fussy and has few elements, which makes it stand out more. ‘I Need You’ is one to jump to with a fast tempo, quirky textural experimentation and a saucy little vocal cut. One more for the dancefloor is his naughty Garage House edit of the iconic hit ‘Keep On Jumpin’ including a funky rhythm, wobbles of bass and a playful melody… There are just a few highlights from the musical world of DMIZE, keep up with his socials and shows to discover more delights! http://bit.ly/dmizedj 14

Flitting from one note to another Her sweet voice rising in the morning air Slipping through windows And under the cracks of doorways Charming each passer by Delighting the ears of busy workers Elegant blossoms of sound A song so light and free

Vina Rose

song?

From London via Sicily, the Italian-born singer is dazzling the UK with her versatile voice. There is divine charm in the airs of her vocal range featuring sublime high notes, intense depths and a fiery passion at the core. Vina Rose has developed a successful background in the fields of pop and opera, having performed for artists including Andrea Bocelli, Alexia and Giorgia. These influences, together with a fusion of modern dance music, are presented in her debut single ‘Breathe Again’. With proud appearances on TV, theatre stages, clubs and festivals, Vina Rose aims to take her music across Europe and America in the near future. We are excited to have Vina Rose share her story with us… Tell us about yourself and how you got into music I grew up in a family of musicians and that gave me the opportunity to perform ever since I was only a child (first time on stage I was 4), participating in various singing and dancing contests of my local scene. From Sicily I eventually moved to Milan where I studied performing arts and earned my 5 years degree in Communications, and so I began my eclectic career between tv shows, theatres, live performances and radios.

Breathe Again depicts those scenarios whereby you find yourself emotionally trapped, and therefore you desperately need to make a drastic change and move onto better days, but sometimes you keep procrastinating cause simply having fear of changes, until such day that you have had enough and you're ready to free yourself. The song is inspired by a personal relationship of course (Love is always the reason, LOL). You were born and raised in Italy with an interesting array of experiences, can you tell us a little about the music industry there? Italy is a great place full of very talented and creative people, what I personally have found a bit discouraging is the fact that unfortunately it's extremely hard for people like me to try to build a career as independent artists, cause the platforms that actually give you the chance to develop and expose your music are extremely limited, and mainly focused on mainstream or tv/talent shows, which I believe those are a bit detrimental for artists. What is your advice to aspiring singers?

To spend time in developing and improving the writing skills and therefore working hard on the craft, and don't be afraid to make mistakes on the way - mistakes are actually beneficial to find your artistry on the core. Please remember, you are an original, don't try Your debut single ‘Breathe Again’ is to copy or compare yourself to anyone very passionate and emotive, what are at any stage of the career. And most the ideas and inspiration behind this 16

important thing, to enjoy the journey. Vina x Who inspires you musically, and what __________________________________ have been a few of your favourite experiences so far? Latest release â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Breathe Againâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is out now! Sia, Michael Jackson, Lana del Rey, Sade, Lianne La Havas, Florence and the www.instagram.com/vinarosemusic Machine, Joni Mitchell, Adele, those are artists that inspire me from an artistic www.vinarosemusic.com point of view (look, lyrics, mood, etc etc..) One of my best music experience so far was to support an Italian artist Giorgia during her MTV music unplugged. At that time, I remember I shared the stage with musicians of the caliber of Tommy Barbarella and Sonny T (they were part of Prince's band called the New Generation), or Michael Baker (producer and drummer player for Whitney Houston), or Bashiri Johnson (percussion player who worked with Michael Jackson). It was a magical night.. What can we expect from you in the near future? I'm currently working on an EP, which is likely to be released between October/ November, and I'm so excited about that cause I've been working in the studio with A class musicians, and I can't wait for fans to hear the finished result. Any last words? Thank you very much for your questions and I hope all the people reading this interview are going to have a wonderful day..;) Ciao for now.. 18

Chillout... Message To Bears - All We Said As I look up at the plumes of dusky rose and pale cream clouds decorating the sky, my mind is at rest. Strings play a heavenly melody, twinkling, just like the stars to come. His soft voice kisses my skin, I feel his breath upon me. Overwhelming passion. Smiles so joyous, a love so beautiful. Take me in your arms.

A quaint and delightful voice enchants you... The pretty garden grows around your ears as twinkling notes dazzle, hands begin a slow clap and the melodic piano takes your hand leading into the dance. The steady beat creates an easy-going sense of cool, modern whimsy. ‘Lonely’ by Eden Nash is the first single from her brand new EP of that same title. It features 3 original songs: ‘Lonely’, ‘Just The Same’ & ‘Better Off This Way’ and 1 cover song of ‘Let It Be’. Back in February this year Eden released her first song which was a collaboration track with Ren Gill called ‘Humble’ which you can listen to from Hyperurl.co/humble . This song has currently reached over 370k streams on Spotify and has been played on BBC Introducing as well as having a sold-out performance at Brighton festival performing this song. So now is the perfect time for Eden to release her original music as a solo artist! Her tones reflect on emotions yet we feel her confidence blossom as she builds energy and is invigorated by inner strength. Eden Nash has a lovely urban street style of singing yet also flows smoothly between soft skilled notes and feathery elegance.

KEEP FIGHTING ON, DON’T WORRY YOU ARE STRONG, KEEP GOING YOU MIGHT FEEL LONELY BUT I KNOW IT’S GONNA BE OKAY Inspired by artists such as Jeremy Zucker and Anne-Marie, Eden spent endless hours in her room in Essex writing songs with a few basic guitar chords that she had learned. Each song was then produced and perfected in the studio with James Smith over the next 5 months. The single ‘Lonely’ is the first song on the EP which was written for Eden’s niece. This song will be released first as a single on Friday 11th November. ‘’At the beginning of the year, my niece was getting bullied in school which resulted in her being taken out to be homeschooled for a while. I decided to get working on a new song with her in mind to help not only her get through times of feeling lonely but to hopefully also help others that are going through similar situations in order to help them feel more positive about how things will eventually turn out.’’ www.instagram.com/edenxnash 20

Alo! ki maniyer? Some of you might have been through gruelling times recently, to be honest, it has been the case for me as well. Trying to get hold of everything makes me feel like an octopus with outreaching tentacles; struggling to manage all sort of tasks at the same time. The very question popping up in our mind is: Why me? I am getting tired of those never ending ups and downs of life. Discouraged and exhausted, I am willing to let go, because I really do not see any breakthroughâ&#x20AC;Ś Well, I have learnt that all these rumbles are really needed for my personal growth. When everything is shaking, when doubts keep banging, it is high time to grow. It is the perfect moment to gather yourself and take the next leap. Just then, everything folds in place and situations are cleared giving your life its true meaning. These inner feelings are so well interpreted in the song â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Where The Heart Is by HAEVN. This is my share and I leave it to you to take the next leap, when your world below dissolves.

‘Breathe Again’ by Vina Rose is a vibrant song of resilience. Lovely smooth flows twist into strong bursts of emotion in a voice which hold great depth and a tinge of an accent. Feels like the walls are caving in. The lyrics depict a difficult relationship, understanding the need to release with a determination to move onto better days. There is nothing left to say. The bright dance production reflect these passionate feelings and show inner strength. Uplifting and instantly catchy new pop single by London living Sicilian singer/songwriter Vina Rose, whose sound is described as Sia meets Kaytranada.

‘Space’ by POOLCLVB is a really intriguing D&B track. We ease in with a gorgeous hazy voice paired with the rumbling moody atmosphere. I feel myself slipping out of my mind. It drops down into a cool tone, but then the tempo shifts into something bouncy and trendy. It’s really invigorating and takes a strange happy spin. On the remixes, Little Fritter gives a hard Tech House twist whilst Sevader goes for a dramatic pull on the atmosphere. Sonic storyteller POOLCLVB returns with the emotive excursion ‘Space’ featuring the sweet hypnotising vocals of singer/songwriter Muki. On the remix duties, following on from their Cassian remix on Rufus Du Sol’s Rose Avenue Records, Sevader ups the ante whilst Little Fritter, hot off the press from a string of dates in the US with pal Fisher, brings the jack! www.facebook.com/poolclvb

‘Dance With Me’ by Magnifik featuring Mickey Sulit is a gorgeous and funky release. There is a vibrant warmth in the production with trumpet flairs, a retro groove and a cool, hipster beat. The sweet, silky vocal invites you onto the dance floor with open arms that cannot be denied. Come on and put your dancing shoes. The Dirty Secretz edit takes things down a notch with a deep and sexy mood for the night. On the flip side, the LJ Hawk remix plays with a fuller burst of brightness for the clubs. Welcome back to Magnifik with another disco-pop infused record! This time enlisting the vocal talents of Mickey Sulit, a young singer based in Canberra who is making waves on the indie scene. ‘Dance With Me’ comes with all the usual trimmings from a Magnifik production, including, live bass, guitars, 70’s strings, dreamy pads, horns stabs and live drums. Quality deep/disco with a vibe so friendly you can feel it hugging you while you listen. On the remix we have enlisted UK garage house lord, Dirty Secretz. And, ah hold up a second, is it 1998? This remix is pure Fiyah! 90’s inspired chords and stabs wrap around Dirty Secretz clever vocal cuts and a pulsing bass groove. It’s hypnotic and very ripe for the dance floor and we can’t wait to hear this one blasting on the big stages. Finally Husky fires up his moniker, LJ Hawk for a more Nu-Disco/House lean on the full vocal. Picking up the tempo to give the full song a bit more of a late night vibe, without removing any of its soulful touch. That breakdown is some peak time club feels, steered right back into a beer popping for a poolside finish. www.soundcloud.com/magnifik 31

‘Married To The Beat’ by Tlove featuring Lilo is a great, feelgood tune! The electrifying production combines a jumpup energy on the lively tempo together with a warm, and light joyful melody. Music is all I’m breathing. The relaxed atmosphere soothes your soul whilst the lovely female voice dances around your ears. Sharing a love for music and good vibes is simply all that matters. Ba-da ba-ba… Married To The Beat is the new single from the French dance producer TLove. The track is a club-banger with a slick production and a feel-good vibe. TLove says “I used to listen to a lot of funky disco and afrobeat music and all the time I had in mind, a funky bass sound and an afro melody. So, I decided to go to the studio and I dropped the bass and melody with a friend musician. Then, singer/songwriter Lilo came to the studio, heard the demo, got in the vibe and started singing on it. Kaspy a guitar player came and delivered the riff and 'Married to the Beat' is officially out". ‘Married To The Beat’ has already taken the world by storm and smashed the club charts. It peaked #8 in the Pop Commercial Music Week Charts and #3 on the Urban Charts. TLove started his career as a DJ in Paris playing funky music in the club New Wave where he honed his talent for producing infectious hooks.

The ‘Mars’ EP by Kelly Pepper is a curious meld of bass work and vocal exploration. Commencing with ‘Cave Of Wonders’, the gritty and powerful bass production grips you, together with striking raw vocals full of attitude and heat. The title track implores you to look inside yourself. Have you ever felt so deep, it’s like your heart beats loud like thunder? Revelations of love are strewn across a lively dnb beat. The trio is completed with ‘X’, a beautifully emotive and passionate song. The soft, fragile voice exposes pain and yearning felt deep inside. The production offers lovely textured detail and an intense atmosphere to pair with the emotions. www.kellypepper.co.uk

Turn up your speakers for this vibrant carnival jam!

Sexy, naughty rebellion!

‘Persia’ by Drop Frame is an essential D&B number. The intro charms us with pretty, twinkling little droplets of sound. The naughty bass eases in together with a fun, lively beat. Royalston goes gnarly on his edit with a bold and thrilling dark edge. Monika ramps up the energy with a quick and nifty tempo. Slime is proud to unveil it’s first sister label dedicated purely to drum & bass Shadowhearts. To celebrate it’s inaugural release we welcome the renowned Australian producer Drop Frame to our label with his incredible epic track “Persia”. Dropping us deep from the outset into a mystical world of beguiling keys and swirling atmospherics, the track delivers a pitch perfect master-class in tension and release as the intensity slowly builds before the beat finally breaks cover and delivers a devastating salvo of precision bass heaven that will demolish any discerning dancefloor. Hospital stalwart Royalston steps up for the first remix, twisting the original into a gigantic percussive masterpiece that works itself into an relentless groove that will absolutely melt your sneakers on contact. Soulvent regular Monika closes off proceedings by mutating the track’s core elements into a sublime liquid roller that takes a left turn from the original into a buzzing synth odyssey that sounds like it’s being beamed back to Earth from outer space. www.facebook.com/dropframemusic 36

www.AudationMagazine.com

‘Bloodhound’ by Skott is a wonderfully charming and moreish song. The full spotlight is on her husky, sweet vocal tones with smooth waves of the verses and the plucky chirps at the chorus. The production is a pleasing pop piece with just the right dips and peaks to accentuate the voice. You simply cannot help smiling and singing the repeated patterns and du-du-du. I’ve been looking for an alibi. When you really take a listen, you find the sinister theme to the lyrics which is deviously conflicting to the sweetness of the track. I release the hounds. www.instagram.com/skottpeace

‘On & On’ by Royal Flush is a lovely 2-step number. Such simplicity yet craft in this production. A charming twinkle here, a subtle soft voice there. A bumpy little synth melody, a beat to bop to, the repeated lyrical hook. It’s just a track which is instantly appealing and has a timeless style. What an absolute pleasure it is to be welcoming in Royal Flush for yet another top quality release. Over the last 12 months we have seen a fantastic surge of energetic originals usher forth from the Birmingham based producer, who really has been on of 2019’s UKG standouts! www.soundcloud.com/royalflushuk

A firm, unyielding dance beat is at the very core of ‘Fear The Noise’ by Insane House featuring Jorge R. and Alberto Stendhal. The Mexican trio come together to create a special sound that takes you on a good time. We are lead into the underground club scene with the dark and moody vibes. A gritty bass takes over together with bewitching vocal drones. The story behind the story… www.facebook.com/IamInsaneHouse

A hard, striding beat leads us into ‘Soul Burn’ by GURU. As air filters through, like the winds across the desert, we are met with a soothing warmth. Playful tinkers of a xylophone delight the senses. A daring electronic melody then steals the limelight with an addictive sound. www.soundcloud.com/gurur-colakoglu 39

‘Compromise’ by Gallant featuring Sabrina Claudio is a song of love and compassion. The rhythmic beat compels your body to move. Two beautiful voices entwine, the flavourful male dances in the tropical air as her sugary sweetness caresses your skin. The thought of you spending the night with me. There are modern pauses and light fragments mimicking a thought, a moment’s kiss, the rushing waves, a tender feeling. I need somebody. Gallant widens the scope of R&B with relatable confessions and thought-provoking cinematic concepts. The GRAMMY® Award-nominated iconoclast and innovator strikes a balance between bedroom-ready throwback production and nuanced narratives. This approach notched a GRAMMY® Award nomination in the category of "Best Urban Contemporary Album" for his breakout debut Ology. Additionally, the record debuted in the Top 25 of the Billboard Top 200, emerged on Entertainment Weekly's "25 Best Albums of 2016 (So Far)," and attracted acclaim from The Guardian, Pitchfork, The FADER, and more. Not to mention, he drummed up over 100 million-plus streams to date.

The ‘Don't Speak’ EP by SynEater is a clever clash of soft and hard. Contrasting emotions, sweetness of love yet laying down the rules in a harsh manner. First track ‘If’ eases in with a soft voice, the gritty bass pushes its way through rebelliously. If you could be my sweetheart, I will love you. Light notes play in while the vocals are chopped and diced. The title track has a lovely oldschoolstyle melody, this time the dark side comes from a playful, wobbly bit of bass whilst the vocal is moody. The trio is complete with ‘Long Time’, the pace is softened and there is an intriguing experimental mood with the jarring sound and the reaching vocal. Took a long time to get here, but we’re here now baby. Downplay is proud to welcome American producer SynEater to the label for his debut release on the imprint. ‘If’ rolls straight out the gate with a descending chord pattern mixed with seductive diva vocals deployed over warped basslines and a skipping 4x4 groove, absolutely precision-tooled to get the dance jumping. ‘Don’t Speak’ takes a more laidback approach, with jazzy keys and a heavily percussive 2-step rhythm backing a monster bassline that underpins the track’s dynamism. ‘Long Time’ follows a similar path, but switches it up with intricate beatwork and sub-bass strapped to a soulful female vocal for a delicious ride to the darkside. www.facebook.com/SyneaterShaman 42

Sexy, tribal spice.

A classic fairytale romance.

As the title suggests, ‘Arabia’ by Double Touch holds a cultural influence with mesmerising airy flutes, rhythmic shakers and percussion, as well as lovely details of string instruments. The gentle flow and exotic spice whisks you across the desert and intrigues the senses. Second track ‘Lucid Dream’ is a very subtle production, keeping the cool, calm tone and using a strong piano to create a dramatic presence. Fresh from their debut USA shows playing at Lee Burridges’ All Day I Dream Festival in San Francisco, Double Touch continue their unique melodic techmeets-classical musical journey around the world with the double release of Arabia And Lucid Dream on Astrx. www.facebook.com/doubletouchofficial
