Posted by VMan on January 31, 2024
Perfect Havoc label boss and producer, Adam Griffin, steers his London-based imprint at
full pelt into 2024 with a banger of a first release. Teaming up with the established house
producers Scott Forshaw and Damon Hess and the upcoming UK vocal/rap star, Ragdoll,
Griffin drops the club-ready cut ‘Undertaker’ on 12th January. With bouncy tech house flair,
the attitude of g-house and Ragdoll’s rapid fire vocal rap delivery, ‘Undertaker’ is a punching
track guaranteed to blow out any remnants of the January blues.
As well as being a top A&R signing numerous platinum certified releases and breaking the
three-time Brit Award-nominated producer Joel Corry, Perfect Havoc co-founder Adam Griffin
has earned his producer stripes. This is evident in his 25 million streams on original
productions with the likes of Todd Terry, Tobtok and Anton Powers, plus earning six spins on
BBC Radio 1’s dance shows and Future Anthem status on the single ‘The Stand Off’ as
crowned by Mistajam.
Joining Griffin on ‘Undertaker’ is Scott Forshaw, a DJ and producer who is rapidly becoming
one of the biggest DJs in the Middle East thanks to his longstanding residencies at key Dubai
nightspots, Zero Gravity and Barasti. With over 10 million streams on his festival-sized
productions that’ve signed to heavyweights Armada, Ultra and Toolroom and received support
from David Guetta, Martin Garrix and Tiësto, Forshaw brings his dancefloor knowledge
straight into this new release, marking his debut on Perfect Havoc.
Completing this three-way collaboration is the mighty Damon Hess – a multi-skilled artist with
many strings to his bow. Hess is a charismatic presenter on Select Radio, a prolific producer
signing to Dirty Bird, Undr the Radr and 303Lovers, and most notably, one of Ibiza’s busiest
DJs. Regularly appearing at Eden, O Beach, Amnesia, Itaca Beach Club, Przyms, Atiks,
Evoque, South Beats Festival and Maspalomas, everything Hess knows about what works
on the dancefloor has been crammed into this new single.
Ragdoll is a new rap alias but no stranger to Perfect Havoc having featured on ‘Handle That
(Drip, Drip Drip)’ with Simon Field last year. Her edgy, standout delivery adds the perfect sass
to this already gritty release.
There’s a fizz in the air at Perfect Havoc HQ which can be heard in every track laid out in its
2024 release schedule. With a bigger sound and bigger energy than ever before, an exciting
year lies ahead for the independent label. Now in its 9th year, Perfect Havoc continues to define
crossover house music and to build on over 10 billion global streams, six UK Top 20 singles
and multiple platinum, gold, and silver awards.

Albums | Jantoje Releases his Verano EP
Posted by VMan on January 24, 2024
Jantoje is the brainchild of Sydney producer Jake Edwards, who is crafting a unique blend of indie-dance/electro-house music that can be likened to a mix between Rufus Du Sol, Odesza and Hayden James. Check out the new EP above now and a quote from the bubbling artist after the jump!
“This track was first started about two or three years ago. It wasn’t until I was going through all my project files from an old computer earlier this year when I came across it again. I had the progression down and added a vocal sample which I liked and chopped it up a bit with some resampling. Even though the song was first started a few years ago it actually came together quite quick and goes to show how your creativity can change overtime. I hope this track makes listeners want to dance at a festival or to go travelling and explore!” ~ Jantoje
