Pop, R&B | Olivia Swann returns with New Single ‘Two Faces’
Posted by VMan on March 25, 2021
Produced by Will Paterson, ‘Two Faces’ is her sophomore release, following her rollicking debut ‘Salty’, which was championed by 1Xtra’s DJ Target, BBC Radio 1’s Jack Saunders and Apple Music’s Rebecca Judd, as well as racking up over 55,000 views on Youtube alone. The single reached the viral TikTok shores, as social media influencer Kristen Hancher created a dance to it that was shared to her 24 million followers on the platform. The Berklee College of Music graduate has a distinct style that reflects her music, using streetwear and trainers as opposed to dresses and heels to express herself. “I am an eternal tomboy,” Olivia explains. “Handbags and heels just aren’t my thing. I would constantly get mistaken for a boy as my go to look was baggy jeans, beanies, football shirts and of course trainers at all times!”, and her defiance to adhere to the industry’s expectations is what makes her so compelling as an artist.

Drum & Bass | Fient’s DnB EP “Fall Away” Packs A Punch
Posted by VMan on November 23, 2015
Fient has been on my radar for sometime now. Each release contains intensity and an instrumental story thats easy to get into. Fall Away EP contains these elements and then some.
The EP is a total of 4 tracks, the first three being drum and bass, and the last one; a surprise progressive house tune that very much fits the overall feeling of the EP. The mixing and mastering on this EP is particularly impressive as well. The DnB is a powerful and full sound, yet it doesn’t sound cluttered at all.
It’s certain Fient wont stop here, check out his new EP and connect with him above.

Oh wow, this new Slander is not at all what I expected it to be, but his remix of Arty’s “Up All Night” released via Insomniac Records is super cool! Those soulful vocals layered over this melodious trap beat are doing it for me, as there’s nothing better than uplifting trap music as it makes you feel like a G, and takes you to church all at the same time! Without a doubt, Arty and Slander make for a super talented collaboration, so if they’re listening, we want more of this! This is a must listen and look out for the release on September 9th!
Progressive House | Pierce Fulton – Runaway (Ansolo Remix)
Posted by Middy on July 15, 2014
This one makes me smile a little bit as someone who has been doing this long enough to see guys develop from nobodies into viable artists. Ansolo hits me up with this and his upcoming release on Size Records (not shabby at all) with the preface that I gave him some advice long ago and critiqued a few of his songs that he knows now were not that great. I am in no way saying I made his career and any blogger who says they made someone’s career has a serious god complex that needs to be checked, but it is great to hear an artist be thankful for something that isn’t just a generic post and can actually take some criticism, which is harder and harder to find nowadays from acts and their team.
Back to the tune, this one blew up and quickly, rising him to the top of the somewhat gimmicky Billboard trend charts, a feat since he was up against your typical obsessive teenybopper fan bases. Ansolo adds a little more bounce and groove to the tune, while still keeping much of the original feel of the tune. As I mentioned before, Ansolo has a tune out with his mentor Tom Staar on Size Records on Monday. Preview that huge tune below.
Chill | Gabrielle Aplin – Mountains (Samuel Remix)

Fell on this super chill remix by Samuel by accident of Gabrielle Aplin’s “Mountains” and I’m not mad at all that I did. Blending deep house vibes with Gabrielle’s soulful vocals, Samuel couldn’t do any wrong. With a style similar to Kygo or Thomas Jack, it’s clear that there’s a formula working, but shit, if it makes the people happy and sheds light on talented vocalists, why not? To all the haters, I’m sorry, for those who love this, I understand. This is a must listen and a must download!
