Posted by VMan on April 7, 2024

A name becoming fast known for his R’n’B-infused dance tracks, DJ and producer Movada has teamed up with viral sensation K.A.D, beat maker Sluggy Beats and vocalist Dàhda on new single, ‘Love U Better’. A high-energy, speed-garage cut with the smoothest of beats, this UK assemble blend noughties basslines with inspirations of Destiny’s Child into what already sounds like an anthem in the making.

Hailing from Leeds, UK, Movada has been on a fine run of form with a vast array of recent hits to his name that have clocked the producer over 30 spins on BBC Radio 1. These include his tech house rework of Akon’s 2005 hit ‘Bananza (Belly Dancer)’ – 27m views on TikTok alone – and on Perfect Havoc, ‘Push It’ which received 13 consecutive plays on BBC Radio 1, and most recently, the bouncy floorfiller ‘Closer’ with South London rapper, BAMY. With music synced to Love Island UK plus co-writing and production credits for Matoma and The Vamps, Movada’s influence continues to grow. Stay tuned for more Movada collaborations later this year with RITON, ESSEL and Craig Gorman.

Joining Movada on this latest single is South East London-born, K.A.D. A rising star in the world of music production, K.A.D went viral with the single ‘Just How You Like It’ when it dominated playlists and For You pages on TikTok where it reached over 3.3 billion views and the number 1 spot on the TikTok Charts. It prompted the “keep it lemon” trend – meaning “keep it cool” or “fresh” – with scores of creators uploading their own vids miming to K.A.D’s comical lyrics.

Completing the producer trio on ‘Love U Better’ is garage beat maker, Sluggy Beats, whose name is on the up thanks to his popular freestyle series In The House which celebrates the best MCs in the game. And written by Malika who has previously penned songs for Nathan Dawe, Snakehips and SG Lewis, it’s no wonder this single already has anthem vibes.

Now in its 9th year, Perfect Havoc continues to push the envelope of crossover dance music and to build on over 10 billion global streams, six UK Top 20 singles and multiple platinum, gold, and silver awards. For the rest of the year, Perfect Havoc also has tracks lined up from PS1 and label head Adam Griffin, Kokiri, Tobtok & Oliver Nelson, Stephani B and more, each bringing a bigger sound and energy than before.
