People, we’re fully into release season and it feels so good!
There’s honestly so much good music out right now, it’s almost been overwhelming keeping up. Just a stream of consciousness of the new projects you MUST check out…
Lylo Gold – HeartAche & Wray, Jarreau Vandal – Anthology, Blood Orange – Negro Swan, Barney Artist – Home Is Where The Art Is, Seinabo Sey – I’m A Dream, Masego – Lady Lady, JMSN – Velvet, 6LACK – East Atlanta Love Letter…
And there’s more coming from some (UK) RnB modern legends – Ray BLK, Nao and Ella Mai all have projects coming this month. Summer might have left without saying goodbye but we’ve at least got a well of stellar music to find solace in.
Year of the Producer
Jarreau Vandal returned with a standout project with Anthology and his track Moonlight, serves that last slice of that summery goodness. Generally, music producers represent strong this month, solidifying 2018 as the Year of the Producer with a strong VanJess /Freddie Gibbs/Nick Grant collab return from IAMNOBODI and features from Masego, JMSN and Silk City.
Also featured on this month’s playlist update are super promising newcomers. JDA is a truly DIY singer, with her self-produced melancholy minimalist RnB single, Sublime. The track’s low-fi production with JDA’s full-bodied vocals make the perfect autumnal listen. For fans of more bluesy Soul music, Stella Talpo is back with Leave, a tender, but delightful love ballad.
The Producer Edit: All the best moments from the gig like none other
Been just over 2 weeks since we brought absolute vibes to Hackney Showroom 2 weeks ago with our sophomore live music extravaganza, The Producer Edit. Showcasing the best of the London emerging music scene, The Producer Edit featured a line-up exclusively of the London scene’s hottest and best emerging record producers – WIZE, BAMZ, Blue Canarinho & Melle Brown. Joined by some equally incredible singers and rappers on the night – Chelsea Blues, K The Infinite & The Cold Callers.
It was indeed the ultimate end of summer gig we’d promised. Packed with displays of the best musical artistry, an electric atmosphere and eclectic mix of acts and fans. But rather, than wax lyrical about it, we’ll let you get on to watching the highlights in the videos above and below.
