Signing his first publishing deal aged just 18 years old, Swindon, UK-born Theo Altieri – professionally known as CHANEY – has gone from strength to strength with his melodic sensibilities and affection for the Great British Rave sound, earning him over 15 million streams across Spotify and Apple Music last year alone.
Many have caught the CHANEY bug from leading major and independent dance labels including BMG, Toolroom, Warner and CR2 all signing his work, to the prominent DJs in his field supporting his tunes spanning Fisher, MK, Sam Divine to name only a few more. The radio airwaves haven’t gone unaffected either with CHANEY tunes dropping thick and fast by Mistajam, Majestic, Sarah Story, Pete Tong, and Danny Howard, who went one step further in summer 2022 to collaborate with CHANEY on the ‘This Beat’ EP on Howard’s Nothing Else Matters label.
On the DJ front, CHANEY’s been getting crowds moving at venues across Europe from Ministry Of Sound and Studio 338 in London, to W Barcelona and the Invisible Wind Factory in Liverpool. 2023 is packed with a soon-to-be announced debut US tour as well as more highlight appearance across the UK.
On the new single ‘Burning’, CHANEY said,
“There’s nothing if there isn’t hope… “Burning” is my latest offering featuring the angelic voice of Lauren L’Aimant capturing the essence of hope and that feeling of reaching the peak. With heavy drums and rolling bass lines, I was really just setting the scene for the peak time in a club but combining large soundscapes with long breakdowns to really try to “take you there”. I hope you feel it!”
Albums | 1tbsp Drops “2007”
Posted by VMan on November 8, 2022
1tbsp is an indie-house project from Australian artist Maxwell Byrne (aka Golden Vessel) which has a sound that can be likened to a mix between Fred Again, Mall Graband Four Tet. His new track “2007” is off of an upcoming project, due out next month. Listen to “2007” by 1tbsp above now and read a quote on the release after the jump!
“This idea started from a day of recording with David Versace (of First Beige), one of the first things he played was this synth line that I knew I wanted to try re-work it and speed up. After almost figuring the song out, George Nicholas (of Seekae) helped with the last few finishing touches. 2007 feelsreally influenced by a monthly club night I was throwing in Brisbane last year called “sumoclic nights” (which both David & I DJ’d). My dance music taste and love for DJing really grew and this track feels like it’s a result of that time.” –1tbsp
Albums | BARRON Taps Into Porter Robinson & Odesza’s Lane on “Feel Love”
Posted by VMan on August 21, 2022
BARRON is shaping up to be one of my favorite up-and-comers on the rise. The Nashville, TN based talent is clearly influenced by the likes of Porter Robinson, Odesza and other producers in that space who create emotionally evoking electronica and he is on to something here with this project, specifically this new track “Feel Love”. It’s well worth diving in to, so do yourself a favor and keep a tab on this dude. Check out “Feel Love” by BARRON above now and read a quote from him on the release below!
‘Feel Love’ is a unique track for me in that it’s more upbeat and dance-able than my previous releases. It could definitely be classified as a house track which is a genre I don’t normally write, but I enjoyed the experience of meshing my more euphoric/melodic sound with a style that you would normally hear at a night out at a bar or club. It definitely opened up a world to me that I plan to revisit again in the future.” – BARRON
Bass, Trap | STRX Shares Stunning Pop-Trap Single, “Shadows” Featuring Ava Silver
Posted by VMan on May 13, 2022
Marking his debut on acclaimed label Frequency Music, STRX has returned to the scene with what might be one of his heaviest releases to date, bringing together atmospheric verses and bass-driven drops on “Shadows.” Incorporating the vocal talents of Ava Silver, “Shadows” is a truly versatile tune that is bound to start lighting up dancefloors in no time, and become a staple in STRX’s energetic sets.
“In the midst of the pandemic, I found myself feeling hopeless and somewhat depressed sometimes. The negative voices in my head naturally transferred onto the music script, even though I was trying to make uplifting club music. As a result of this crossover between energy & vulnerability, ‘Shadows’ was born. Due to the extent to which this feeling was relatable to Ava Silver, we managed to make a vocal that perfectly connected. All in all, we created a piece with a message that I hope people can relate to and get empowered by,” said the producer.
An accomplished musician and producer, STRX has been playing the drums for more than 10 years now. With a strong drive and ambition to find his own path within the music world, STRX oftentimes blends multiple genres into one song, while infusing his energetic sets with trap, dubstep and psytrance, aiming to tell a story to the audience.

Posted by VMan on August 21, 2021
Teaming up with Sada Baby and BabyTron for one of his bigger releases to date, emerging rapper TY in the Building returns with an electrifying new release via “Vice Avenue”. The rising Detroit based artist iss on the come up but clearly has something going here. Check out a quote from him on the release below and check out the new collaboration and video above now!
When I first heard the beat, it reminded me of something that would be in grand theft auto Vice city and I loved it. When we were thinking of a name I wasn’t sure what to call it. We thought about “ Jump” or “screenshot” but that seemed too basic. When i made the artwork I wanted it to be GTA inspired because The beat inspired me of the game, and in the game there’s a bunch of strips with clubs on there. So we came up with “Vice Avenue” referencing the game GTA Vice City”
