Dubstep | JEANIE Drops Haunting ‘Into The Dark’ EP

Posted by on March 18, 2024

DJ, producer, and GRL GANG founder JEANIE follows up her Disturbing Data EP with a brand new four-track feat. JEANIE’s heavy-hitting Into The Dark EP is out everywhere now.

Into The Dark is a testament to the producer’s innate mastery of darkness through bass. Its tag-team lead single with DOIL, “Kiss of Death” ft. TINYKVT, quickly turned the head of thousands, finding itself cemented into Spotify’s New Music Friday Dance and Dubstep Don playlists. A fully loaded “Demise” follows the EP’s debut single, riddled with larger-than-life bass and fast kick-laden outro. JEANIE’s collaboration with NEAVE$, “Maximum Fear,” is a showcase of the producer’s unique blend of fury and form. Finally, “Soulless” rounds out Into The Dark with its foreboding blend of high-octane synths and nefarious vocal chops.

“I’m really excited to be releasing my first fully independent EP, ‘Into the Dark,’” said JEANIE. “It’s really empowering as an artist to be in control of your music and I feel like this was the perfect time for me to take this step. I’m incredibly proud of all of these tracks and this body of work perfectly represents the sound I’m trying to portray as an artist. I’ll be playing many of these tracks for the first time on my upcoming debut headline tour!”

Posted by on March 9, 2024

‘Being Outstraight’ is more than just an EP; it’s a sonic journey through the vibrant energy of the 10-artist strong collective. With seven tracks that span the spectrum of hip-hop sounds, this release is set to redefine Irish hip-hop and place it firmly on the global map.

The lead single, ‘Drive Around,’ commands attention from the get-go. Graham, one of the collective’s talents, delivers a classic yet distinctly Irish take on hip-hop. With a nod to old-school boom bap and a chilled bassline, this track is reminiscent of hip-hop greats like Loyle Carner and Freddie Gibbs. Graham’s rap performance is intoxicating, drawing listeners in with its raw energy and undeniable authenticity. Check it out above now!

Their discography boasts a diverse range of tracks, including the standout “Paper Birds” and a lauded remix of What So Not’s “The Change,” highlighting their skill in fusing emotive vocals with robust basslines.

2023 marked a pivotal moment for Ekko & Sidetrack as they released their debut album, “Nostalgic for Reality,” under Viper Recordings, solidifying their status in the music scene.

Albums | Jon Le Vert Shares New Single & Video for “WHITNEY (TOO YOUNG)”

Posted by on March 7, 2024

Emerging artist Jon Le Vert, a Chicago native, has released his new single, “WHITNEY (TOO YOUNG)”. The track, a compelling blend of intense, dark alternative hip-hop, explores perseverance, overcoming challenges and the impact of personal stories on inspiring others.

Having experienced lifelong battles with rejection, anxiety, self-doubt and the imposter syndrome that comes with years of a shaky foundation and little familial support, Jon Le Vert found solace and expression initially in acting and filmmaking. His journey led him to a recurring role in the Netflix original series Daybreak (2019). Now, in his twenties, Jon is breaking through the barriers that held him back, embracing a new chapter in his artistic career.

“WHITNEY (TOO YOUNG)” is not just a musical endeavour for Jon Le Vert; it’s a deeply personal coming-of-age story. The lyrics and composition draw inspiration from his mother’s journey, highlighting her perseverance and strength through challenging moments. Jon aims to convey a message of resilience and determination, emphasising the impact that one’s story can have on inspiring others.

The accompanying music video, self-directed by Jon Le Vert and shot by cinematographer Chris Sinnemann, adds a visual dimension to the powerful narrative of “WHITNEY (TOO YOUNG)”. The video complements the intense atmosphere of the track, providing viewers with a captivating visual experience.

Speaking about the new single, Jon Le Vert shares, “We never know how much we inspire others by simply persevering through our darkest, most challenging moments. I wanted to write a coming-of-age story from the perspective of my mom; her perseverance and overall story have inspired me immensely to push forward despite the dysfunction and doubt I experienced in my own life. As I produced and wrote the track, I wanted to combine hip-hop with elements of electronic.”

With “WHITNEY (TOO YOUNG)”, Jon Le Vert invites listeners to join him on a musical and emotional journey, celebrating the strength found in vulnerability and the power of personal stories to inspire change.
