GRYFFIN Joins Forces w Chris Lane For "Hold You Tonight" - New Single Out Now by Brian Rapaport

GRYFFIN JOINS FORCES WITH
CHRIS LANE FOR STUNNING NEW SINGLE “HOLD YOU TONIGHT”

GRYFFIN-HOLD YOU TONIGHT.png

LA-based artist/producer Gryffin has teamed up with platinum-selling country artist Chris Lane for a breathtaking new single called “Hold You Tonight.” Released via Darkroom/Interscope Records, the track beautifully merges Gryffin’s melodic brand of electronic music with Lane’s stripped-back yet soulful songwriting and vocals.

Listen to “Hold You Tonight” by Gryffin & Chris Lane HERE

The latest in a growing list of exciting collaborations for Gryffin, “Hold You Tonight” again demonstrates his tremendous sophistication as a producer, layering tender acoustic-guitar work to a graceful arrangement of shimmering synth tones and crystalline percussion. Meanwhile, Lane reveals the powerful vocal presence he’s showcased in hit songs — “Take Back Home Girl” ft. Tori. Kelly, recent chart-topper “I Don’t Know About You,” plus his latest single, “Big, Big Plans” — and as featured support on tours with acts like Dan + Shay, Florida Georgia Line, Brad Paisley, and Rascal Flatts.

“Hold You Tonight” is Gryffin’s first new music since the release of his 2019 full-length debut Gravity. Arriving last October and soon reaching #1 on Billboard’s Dance/Electronic Albums chart, the album includes hit singles like “Remember” ft. ZOHARA (a track that shot to #1 on Dance radio), “OMG” (a #16 hit on the US Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart, featuring Grammy Award-nominated singer/songwriter Carly Rae Jepsen), “Body Back” ft. Maia Wright (#16 hit on the Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart), and “All You Need to Know” by Gryffin with SLANDER ft. Calle Lehmann (a #12 hit on the Hot Dance/Electronic chart). With its incredible lineup of collaborators and guest artists, Gravity also features “Hurt People” (a collaboration with singer/songwriter Aloe Blacc, co-written by Bastille frontman Dan Smith) and “Baggage” by Gryffin with Gorgon City ft. AlunaGeorge (praised by Dancing Astronaut as a “perfectly poignant and danceable requiem to the summer season”).

About Gryffin:
Born Dan Griffith, Gryffin got his start in music as a classically trained pianist and guitarist and also played in several bands. After receiving an electrical engineering degree from the University of Southern California, he pursued a path in music production, drawing equally from his carefully honed musicality and edgy ingenuity. Gryffin made his breakthrough in 2016 with two singles showcasing his melodic take on dance music: “Heading Home” ft. Josef Salvat (which shot to #1 on Spotify’s US and Global Viral charts) and Bipolar Sunshine collaboration “Whole Heart.” In addition, his 2017 smash single “Feel Good” — with Illenium and featuring Daya— peaked at #18 on the Dance/Mix Show Airplay charts. Gryffin’s major triumphs also include “Tie Me Down” ft. Elley Duhé (which hit #2 on the Spotify US Viral Chart and #9 on the Global Viral Chart, with over 103 million streams to date) and “Remember” ft. Zohara (which garnered 6.5 million streams in its first few weeks and earned support from Tiesto, who featured the track on an Instagram story). Arriving in October 2019, Gryffin’s debut album Gravity quickly climbed to #1 on Billboard’s Dance/Electronic Albums chart.

About Chirs Lane:
Chris Lane’s star continues to rise with GOLD and PLATINUM single certifications, two #1 hits (breakout smash “Fix” and recent chart-topper “I Don’t Know About You”), two Top 10 albums, and more than 1.5 BILLION combined streams. “I Don’t Know About You” followed the success of his hit collaboration “Take Back Home Girl” featuring Tori Kelly. Both songs are from Lane’s Big Loud Records sophomore album — LAPS AROUND THE SUN — that made a chart-topping debut, landing at #1 on the iTunes Top Country Albums chart and inside the Top 10 of Billboard’s Top Sexiest Man Alive issue, has scored nominations at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, ACM Awards, and Radio Disney Music Awards, plus appeared on TODAY, The Bachelor, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Late Night With Seth Meyers and CONAN. Previously sharing the bill with Florida Georgia Line, Brad Paisley, Garth Brooks, Tim McGraw + Faith Hill, and Dan + Shay, the Kernersville, NC-native wrapped his headline BIG, BIG PLANS TOUR with sellouts in major cities coast-to-coast. Lane recently married Lauren Bushnell, after popping the question with “Big, Big Plans”— his brand-new single making its mark on Country radio.

About MK
Three decades of making music with over 600 remixes to his credit, DJ, producer and AREA 10 label boss MK (Marc Kinchen) is responsible for creating some of the defining sounds and biggest tracks of contemporary and early house music (check out this SPIN article). He continues to evolve as one of the most in-demand producers and DJs. His latest tracks “One Night” with Sonny Fodera, “There For You” with Gorgon City and “Body 2 Body” has racked up global streams in the millions already. Last year MK’s gold-selling single “Back & Forth” peaked at #12 in the Official UK Top 40 Singles Chart and remains a mainstay on streaming playlists all over the world. This was preceded by 2017’s “17,” Kinchen’s most successful single to date, amassing over 145 million Spotify streams. MK remains one of the go-to remixes for many of today’s most compelling artists ranging from the underground to the most contemporary. He has remixed multiple singles for Rihanna, Lana Del Rey, Sam Smith and more. His latest projects include Alicia Keys “Time Machine,” Ed Sheeran x Travis Scott “Antisocial,” Mark Ronson ft Camilla Cabello’s “Find You Again,” and Silk City featuring Dua Lipa’s “Electricity” to name just a few.

About AREA10:

“You know people are always asking me what & where is AREA10. Is it a place? Are there aliens there? The truth is when I was about 15 or so, I had an after-school job in the parking garage of the Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit and AREA10 was my area— the place I was in charge of. It was the only non-music job I have ever had, then or since. When I started to put records out, I used it as the name so I would always remember to never give up on what you really want.
It may seem cliché but it’s true.” — MK on AREA10

AREA10, the label MK founded during the early days of his career in Detroit has now been reborn as AREA10 however it’s second life comes not only with fresh new artists, DJ’s tracks and productions but also comes with its own internationally known live events brand MK presents AREA10. AREA10 the label and the event brand prides itself as a new sort of creative breeding ground not only for some of MK’s side projects but also for up and coming artists like the beloved Anabel Englund—who has released singles like “So Hot” (charting this week at #26 on US-based media chart), “Messing With Magic” with Jamie Jones, and “See The Sky” all which appear on her debut EP Messing With Magic due out later this year—and Liverpool’s latest Nightlapse, the Scouse duo who are creating new paths with tracks like and their remix with MK for Englund’s “So Hot,” “Changed Minds,” “Freak Out” and their upcoming single “Got That Feeling.” The AREA10 pipeline is buzzing as well with new artists like Italy’s Mirko Di Florio, who has us going crazy while he breaks all the rules. AREA10 dishes out live as well with MK playing host and headliner around the globe to a range of locations with sold-out AREA10 events at ADE, Ibiza Rocks, Pacha, Mysteryland to sold-out arena shows at the prestigious 02 Arena in Brixton and AREA10 dedicated stages at Creamfields, We Are FSTVL, Movement, Parklife, e1 in Scotland, Warehouse Projects, Tobacco Docks, Shimanski, Miami, Croatia and many more.

LOUIS THE CHILD RELEASE “LITTLE THINGS” WITH
QUINN XCII & CHELSEA CUTLER

NEW SINGLE OUT TODAY (APRIL 3)

HERE

ANNOUNCE RESCHEDULED DATES FOR 2ND PHASE OF ‘HERE FOR NOW’ NORTH AMERICAN TOUR

LOUIS THE CHILD - Little Things.jpg

Chicago-bred production duo Louis The Child have released today (April 3) a new single called “Little Things” — a poignant and powerful collaboration with Detroit singer/songwriter Quinn XCII and up-and-coming artist Chelsea Cutler. A nostalgia-soaked duet between Quinn XCII and Cutler, “Little Things” features a particularly dynamic sound design from Louis The Child’s Robby Hauldren and Freddy Kennett.

Listen to “Little Things” by Louis The Child with Quinn XCII & Chelsea Cutler HERE: https://smarturl.it/LittleThingsLTC

“Although this song was started years ago, it feels like it couldn’t be coming out at a better time. As our daily lifestyles adapt to the current state of the world, it seems to be the little things that mean the most right now. This song was originally written by Jon Bellion and when we first heard the song we felt a connection with it. We dove in on the original production and reworked some lyrics with Jon until everything felt right (if you listen closely you can hear some os his original vocal layers in the chorus, drop and beatbox). We sent it to Chelsea and Quinn, who have been friends and collaborators of ours for years. Having shared so many great memories on the road, in the studio, and in our daily lives, it felt right to have them deliver these words and this message. We’re so happy to have this out in the world with them, and hope you are too. “— Robby Hauldren and Freddy Kennett on “Little Things.”

Opening with a kinetic piece of vocal percussion, “Little Things finds Quinn XCII and Cutler trading off verses and sharing their reflections on late-night trouble-making. As Louis The Child lay down an infectious beat, the sweet and shimmering track builds to an epic bridge offering a bit of warm-hearted wisdom: “Every single second is golden/Hold onto the moment.” This is not the first time the powerful combination of Quinn XCII and Chelsea Cutler’s vocals have come together with Louis The Child’s production. Louis The Child’s “Slow Down Love” with Chelsea Cutler was featured on their 2017 album Love is Alive and the duo’s synth-heavy track “The City” featuring Quinn XCII was released back in 2018.

“Little Things” follows Louis The Child’s recent single “Every Color,” a collaboration with beloved alt-pop band Foster The People. Released last month, “Every Color” was hailed as a “psychedelic dance-pop jam” by Billboard, who also highlighted its “sunny, electro-bass beat ready to soundtrack the trip from the drinks tent to the dance stage.”

The duo will be participating in the online music festival, Digital Mirage by Proximity and Brownies & Lemonade this Sunday, April 5. The event will donate 100% of proceeds to Sweet Relief Musicians Fund, which provides financial assistance to career musicians and music industry workers facing illness, disability, or age-related problems. Tune in to stream from April 3-5 on the Proximity YouTube Channel.

Louis The Child have also announced newly rescheduled dates for the upcoming second phase of their widely celebrated Here For Now headlining tour.

Earmilk

Anabel Englund - See The Sky.png

Los Angeles’ singer-songwriter Anabel Englund's latest single “See The Sky” gets a fresh take today (April 3) with a remix by Joel Corry for MK’s label AREA10/Ultra Music. The UK-based producer known for his house smash “Sorry” lifts the track’s production taking Englund’s carefree vocal to new heights.

With her effortless vocals, the original Anabel Englund “See The Sky” is the kind of sun-kissed house track that reflects our current melancholy times. Also available from Englund is “So Hot” and her collaboration with Hot Creations label head Jamie Jones on piano-led house cut “Messing With Magic,” the title track to her upcoming EP which will also feature “See The Sky” and “So Hot.” View the new video for “Messing With Magic” now, here.

A multi-talented singer-songwriter who has worked with some of the most respected DJs and producers in dance music, Englund garnered widespread acclaim when she linked up with Jones and Less Foss in 2012 to form Hot Natured. Their single “Reverse Skydiving” amassed over 13.4 million streams on Spotify alone, immediately asserting Englund’s status as a force to be reckoned with.

A perfect combination of relaxed vibes, “See The Sky” is destined to soundtrack life as we move towards warmer climates.

Emancipator New Album 'Mountain Of Memory' Out Now on Loci Records by Brian Rapaport

EMANCIPATOR NEW ALBUM
’MOUNTAIN OF MEMORY’
OUT NOW ON LOCI RECORDS

LISTEN NOW
HERE

“Weeping strings, playful pan flutes, boom-bap drum beats, and raindrop synths. That’s how Emancipator’s Douglas Appling Casts aural spells… This is the soundtrack to a fairy tale for an urban generation, and we happily accept the expedition.”
Billboard on “Labyrinth” from Mountain Of Memory

Emancipator - Mountain Of Memory.png

Douglas Appling, the Portland-based electronic musician known to electronic music enthusiasts as Emancipator continues to refine and consolidate his creative ethos with the release of his sixth studio album Mountain Of Memory today (April 3) on Loci Records.

Listen to Mountain Of Memory here: https://ffm.to/mountain-of-memory

Recorded in his Mt. Hood, OR studio, 14 free-flowing tracks effortlessly encapsulate a variety of elements included in mid-tempo dance grooves, solid boom bap hip-hop beats and calm, reflective tempos blend with electric and acoustic guitars, classical violin, Persian dilruba, cimbaloms, finger snaps, symphonic strings, bubbling water, Latin and African hand drumming music boxes, Baroque flutes and opera singers, who add unexpected vocal ornamentations to accent melodic phrases.

Underlying it all, is the bed of sound Appling produces using electric pianos, ethereal synthesizer washes, processed and almost inaudible vocals, soothing ambient textures and the pulsing of an infinite heartbeat produced by electronic bass tones. “The album has a loose narrative of rising from the swamps, to the summit of a mountain, and the journey of enlightenment in between. By the end of the album, you are standing atop the Mountain of Memory.”

Meanwhile, Emancipator Ensemble—who is Doug Appling (production/guitar) along with Ilya Goldberg (violin), Colby Buckler (drums), Mub Fractal (bass) and Asher Fulero (keys)—have rearranged their tour schedule to the coronavirus pandemic. Updated tour dates are as follows:

One of the leaders of international house music, Brooklyn-based BEDOUIN (Tamer Malki & Rami Abousabe) launch their new label Human By Default today, March 27 with the release of the Whistleman EP. It features three new original productions along with a bonus remix from Pablo Fierro.

Listen to Bedouin’s Whistleman EP now here: https://lnk.to/HBD001

The EP’s title track opens with smooth keys, shimmering percussion, a warming bassline and gorgeously delicate vocals that send you into aural bliss. “Firefly” swings with marimba samples, churning shakers and bubbly synth patterns until “Voodoo” rumbles with Afro-Cuban drums, exciting vocal work, Santur like pads and rolling electric stabs. Finally, multifaceted musician and producer Pablo Fierro provides his signature rhythm and shuffle to the “Whistleman” original with claves, rattling snares and a euphorically charged break.

Human By Default serves as a destination for Bedouin’s own original productions along with new music that they love by artists they meet along the road. “The name of the label serves as a reminder that being human is the only choice in life we don’t have the privilege of making. Every other choice in life we can make for ourselves and we embrace this heavily as artists in our quest to challenge everything we currently understand musically,” states Bedouin. “The artists we have carefully selected encompass the careful balance between musical discipline and creativity and have proven over and over the ability to create what we feel is the most forward-thinking and honest expressions. After all that the most exciting thing remains to be what is not yet created.”

Look for Human By Default to release music both digitally and on vinyl.

Malki and Abousabe formed as Bedouin in 2012 and have since established themselves as two of the most vital names in melodic house music. As producers, their mesmerizing synth-driven cuts have arrived on top tier labels like Crosstown Rebels, All Day I Dream and Supernature. Meanwhile, as performers, they continue to headline clubs and play at festivals across the globe including Burning Man, Extrema Outdoor Belgium, Kappa Futur Festival and Tomorrowland, as well as Coachella and III Points. Now going into its fourth season with this turn happening at Pacha, their Ibiza residency SAGA has gone on to become a renowned worldwide event series.

Bedouin’s Whistleman EP is out now on Human By Default.

Tracklist:
A1. Whistleman (Original Mix)
B1. Firefly (Original Mix)
B2. Voodoo (Original Mix)
Digital Bonus - Whistleman (Pablo Fierro Remix)

LOUD LUXURY 'Nights Like This' EP Out Now with New Single "Aftertaste" (ft Morgan St. Jean) - Armada Music by Brian Rapaport

LOUD LUXURY COMPLETE ‘NIGHTS LIKE THIS EP’ WITH FRESH SINGLE: “AFTERTASTE” (FEAT. MORGAN ST. JEAN)

OUT NOW ON ARMADA MUSIC

LISTEN HERE

image2 (22).jpg

After building up the momentum with new songs every two weeks for the past two months (including “Cold Feet,” “Nights Like This,” & “Gummy”), Loud Luxury have finally unveiled the concluding part of their Nights Like This EP for Armada Music. Created in tandem with L.A.-based pop artist Morgan St. Jean, “Aftertaste” is the perfect encore for an EP this diverse and colorful.

Listen to Loud Luxury feat. Morgan St. Jean “Aftertaste”
and the
Nights Like This EP here: https://armas1721.lnk.to/NLTEP

The proverbial cherry on top of their Nights Like This EP, “Aftertaste” is a testament to the rise of the Canadian duo. With glowing chords, soulful vocals and club-rocking drums, this record not only serves as the perfect closing track, but also delivers undeniable dance floor potential all year round.

“We met Morgan in our first year in LA,” says Loud Luxury’s Andrew Fedyk of the track’s vocalist. “We got introduced oddly enough through BMI. We were on a ‘songwriter speed dating’ session and she came over to our apartment that we used to live at and we just hung out. The original song she wrote was a lot slower, but we took the idea with us on a trip to Jamaica and we were just really inspired by the music and the sounds and parties there. So we took the vocal and flipped it in order to bring completely new energy into it. That’s where the vibe of ‘Aftertaste’ comes from.”

It’s been an amazing ride for university friends Andrew Fedyk and Joe De Pace, better known as Canadian duo Loud Luxury. With their now worldwide smash hit ‘Body’ (feat. Brando), the Toronto boys are certified Diamond in Canada and platinum in a range of other countries (3x in Australia, 2x in Switzerland and 1x in the U.K., the Netherlands, Austria and more), held the #1 spot in the U.S. Mediabase Dance Airplay chart for two weeks, charted in the Top 40 of U.S. Pop radio and the U.K.’s Official Singles Chart (#4) and accumulated hundreds of millions of plays across the most popular streaming services. Its follow-up single, ‘Love No More’ (with anders), garnered 12 million streams on Spotify alone in its first month and currently sits at 125 million plays on the streaming platform, whilst last summer’s ‘I’m Not Alright’ (with Bryce Vine) adds to the tally with well over 50 million streams. Earlier this year, the duo scooped up three 2020 JUNO Awards nominations for ‘Dance Recording Of The Year’, ‘Fan Choice Award’ and ‘Group Of The Year’, following four nominations (including one win) in 2019 as well as iHeart Music Awards nominations for ‘Dance Song Of The Year’ and ‘Dance Artist Of The Year.’

ANABEL ENGLUND Drops New Single "See the Sky" -- Out Today 3/20 on AREA10/Ultra Music by Brian Rapaport

ANABEL ENGLUND DROPS NEW SINGLE
”SEE THE SKY”

OUT TODAY (MARCH 20) ON AREA10 / ULTRA MUSIC
STREAM “SEE THE SKY” HERE

THE SINGER-SONGWRITER ALSO RECENTLY FEATURED ON JADED SINGLE “NEED ME”

”MESSING WITH MAGIC” VIDEO OUT NOW

image2 (11).png

Los Angeles’ singer-songwriter Anabel Englund has unveiled carefree new single “See The Sky” today (March 20) on MK’s label AREA10/Ultra Music. With her effortless vocals, “See The Sky” is the kind of sun-kissed vocal house track that reflects our current melancholy times.

Stream “See The Sky” here: https://ffm.to/seethesky

“Coming to the realization that we are all one. That when one of us succeeds, we all succeed. That when one of us fails and experiences trauma, we all experience it too,” says Englund.

“When I sing, ‘Where would I go if I could fly? Would I see my mom or my pa and give them a big hug,’ I am singing about the dream of a perfect family where no one is hurt, everyone is free from their past and we all love each other deeply. ‘Where would you go if you were free? Not captured into what society wants you to be?’ I wanted to ask questions to the listener, enticing them to look deeper within themselves. I want to make people think, ‘Am I who I want to be? Am I doing my best? Am I loving people? Have I forgiven? How can I be free?’ I want to connect with people on a deeper level and I want them to know that they are loved.”

It follows Englund’s recent collaboration with Jaded on “Need Me,” which currently holds the #1 album spot on Beatport. Prior to this, she linked up with Hot Creations label head Jamie Jones to release piano-led house cut “Messing With Magic,” the title track to her upcoming EP which will also feature “See The Sky.” View the new video for “Messing With Magic” now here.

A multi-talented singer-songwriter who has worked with some of the most respected DJ's and producers in dance music, Englund garnered widespread acclaim when she linked up with Jones and Lee Foss in 2012 to form Hot Natured. Their single “Reverse Skydiving” amassed over 13.4 million streams on Spotify alone, immediately asserting Englund’s status as a force to be reckoned with. A perfect combination of relaxed vibes, “See The Sky” is destined to soundtrack life as we move towards warmer climates.

Loud Luxury ft. Brando "Gummy" Video Out Today (March 17) by Brian Rapaport

LOUD LUXURY FT. BRANDO
”GUMMY” VIDEO OUT TODAY (MARCH 17)

VIEW VIDEO HERE

SINGLE APPEARS ON LOUD LUXURY’S DEBUT EP
’NIGHTS LIKE THIS’ OUT MARCH 27 ON ARMADA MUSIC

Loud Luxury is Joe De Pace and Andrew Fedyk.

Loud Luxury is Joe De Pace and Andrew Fedyk.

Few first-time collabs have been as monumentally impactful as Loud Luxury featuring Brando’s multi-million-stream smash hit “Body” (668+ million Spotify streams to date). Now Loud Luxury continues to build on that milestone record with “Gummy” and the release of its video today (March 17).

View now here: https://youtu.be/ZhgmsztRN8k
Listen now here: https://armas1719.lnk.to/GummyPR

Directed by Adrian Pereya (@adrian_actually), the video features Loud Luxury’s Andrew Fedyk and Joe De Pace cruising around a small town in a vintage hot rod bringing better vibes to people with a look and shoulder-lift. It’s all set to the beat of “Gummy” with the lyric, “Life’s not fair but can be/Stretch around like a gummy.”

Included on Loud Luxury’s upcoming Nights Like This EP (out March 27 on Armada Music), “Gummy” is the third single following “Cold Feet” and title track “Nights Like This” with CID.

“Gummy” in the press:

“Throughout the tracks shared thus far from Loud Luxury’s debut EP, Nights Like This, is vivid imagery of living in the moment, from the title track’s blurry nighttime escapades to ‘dancing tipsy in the street’ with your hopeful happily ever after in ‘Cold Feet.’ The Canadian duo’s third single from the project ‘Gummy,’ provides another stereotypical picture of youth and reckless abandon, as vocalist Brando (who featured on their 2017 breakthrough “Body”) narrates a steamy, moonlit moment in the backseat of a car. A melancholy musing turned bubbly earworm, expect ‘Gummy’ to soundtrack many flings this summer.” —Billboard

"Body" Creators Loud Luxury and Brando Head into Round Two with Brand-New Single "Gummy" by Brian Rapaport

“BODY” CREATORS LOUD LUXURY AND BRANDO
HEAD INTO ROUND TWO WITH BRAND-NEW SINGLE “GUMMY”

Few first-time collabs have been as monumentally impactful as Loud Luxury and Brando’s multi-million-stream smash hit “Body.” Now both acts are set to build on that milestone record with their next creative collision. Today (March 13), the Canadian duo and L.A. singer-songwriter emerge with their second link-up, “Gummy”.

Listen now here: https://armas1719.lnk.to/GummyPR

Included on Loud Luxury’s upcoming Nights Like This EP (out March 27), “Gummy” sees its creators take the next step toward power play status. Combining emotive piano chords with thought-provoking lyrics before unleashing its beefed-up club appeal, “Gummy” marks the next high-magnitude collab between the Canadian hotshot duo and the L.A. multi-talent, raising the bar higher and higher as they go.

This song is very special to us. ‘Gummy’ is the first song we made with Brando after releasing ‘Body’ and feels like we’re picking up exactly where we left off,” says Loud Luxury. “We hope you enjoy it as much as we did making it.”

Adds Brando, “Writing and performing on the record ‘Gummy’ with Loud Luxury was a lot of fun. The song has a laid back summer vibe to it and I’m excited for fans to hear it.”

It’s been an amazing ride for university friends Andrew Fedyk and Joe De Pace, better known as Canadian duo Loud Luxury. With their now worldwide smash hit “Body” (feat Brando), the Toronto boys are certified Diamond in Canada and platinum in a range of other countries (3x in Australia, 2x in Switzerland, and 1x in the U.K., the Netherlands, Austria and more), held the #1 spot in the U.S. Mediabase Dance Airplay chart for two weeks, charted in the Top 40 of the U.S. Pop radio and the U.K.’s Official Singles Chart (#4) and accumulated hundreds of millions of plays across the most popular streaming services. its follow-up single, “Love No More” (with anders), garnered 12 million streams on Spotify alone in its first month and currently sits at an impressive 122 million plays on the streaming platform, whilst last summer’s “I’m Not Alright” (with Bryce Vine) adds to the tally with over 45 million streams. Earlier this year, the duo scooped up three 2020 JUNO Awards nominations for ‘Dance Recording Of The Year’, ‘Fan Choice Award’ and ‘Group Of The Year’, following four nominations (including one win) in 2019 as well as iHeart Music Awards nominations for ‘Dance Song Of The Year’ and ‘Dance Artist Of The Year’.

Drawing inspiration from the numerous musical influences he indulged in throughout his formative years, L.A. singer-songwriter Brando was a major force behind Canadian duo Loud Luxury’s multi-million-stream hit “Body” (well over 650 million streams on Spotify) and Don Diablo’s “Congratulations,” the latter of which shot up the U.S. Mediabase Dance Chart through a surge of radio plays. With his own life experiences as valuable input, his songs tend to be more gritty and down-to-earth than your average pop song, and he’s currently focused on getting more music out. His immediate pipeline is stacked full of amazing collabs with artists such as Matoma and BRKLYN, and he’s excited for the world to discover what he’s all about.

EMANCIPATOR Releases New Single "Himalayan" Today -- Fall Tour Dates Announced by Brian Rapaport

EMANCIPATOR RELEASES NEW SINGLE
”HIMALAYAN”

LISTEN NOW HERE

TRACK APPEARS ON NEW STUDIO ALBUM ‘MOUNTAIN OF MEMORY’
OUT APRIL 3 ON LOCI RECORDS

FALL TOUR DATES ANNOUNCED
ON SALE FRIDAY, MARCH 20

“Himalayan” — the new single out today (March 13) from Emancipator—captures, “…a sense of enlightenment, reflection, and achievement, perhaps what one would feel standing at the summit of a long ascent looking out above the clouds. The sounds of waves and reversed piano carry during the outro symbolizes a nostalgic nod back to the earlier times at sea level.”

Listen to “Himalayan” now here: https://ffm.to/emancipator-himalayan

It is the third offering following “Labyrinth” and “Iron Ox” from his upcoming sixth studio album Mountain of Memory due out April 3 on Loci Records. Mid-tempo dance grooves, solid boom-bap hip-hop beats, and calm, reflective tempos blend with electric and acoustic guitars, classical violin, Persian dilruba, cimbaloms, finger snaps, symphonic strings, bubbling water, Latin and African hand drumming, music boxes, Baroque flutes, and opera singers, who add unexpected vocal ornamentations to accent certain melodic phrases. Underlying it all is the bed of sound Appling produces using electric pianos, ethereal synthesizer washes, processed and almost inaudible vocals, soothing ambient textures and the pulsing of an infinite heartbeat produced by electronic bass tones.

Meanwhile, Emancipator Ensemble—who is Doug Appling (production/guitar) along with Ilya Goldberg (violin), Colby Buckler (drums), Mub Fractal (bass) and Asher Fulero (keys)—has announced new fall tour dates beginning September 23 in Minneapolis to support Mountain of Memory.

VIDEO ROUNDS OUT BULOVA “HISTORY OF FIRSTS” CAMPAIGN
WITH ULTRA MUSIC

SINGLE OUT NOW ON AREA 10/ULTRA MUSIC
TO APPEAR ON ENGLUND’S DEBUT SOLO EP
’MESSING WITH MAGIC’ DUE OUT IN 2020
LISTEN NOW HERE

Anabel Englund and Jamie Jones.png
Anabel Englund.jpg

Sizzling with dance floor attitude while capturing the raw, messy magic of falling in love, as told by singer and songwriter Anabel Englund, “Messing with Magic”—her song with collaborator, Jamie Jones is entrancing in its dichotomy: at times bright and carefree with Anabel’s authentic Southern California breeziness, and yet other times she is irresistibly alluring with a dark, smoldering touch alongside her imaginative production collaborator, Jamie Jones. Today (March 12), AREA 10/Ultra Music offers its video.

View here: https://youtu.be/HtZwgyCfuCw

The video, which was shot between downtown Los Angeles, a mirrored room and the high desert, captures Englund in a series of unique looks and marks the latest edition of iconic watch brand’s Bulova’s “History of Firsts” video campaign with Ultra Music.

Building on its own “History of Firsts,” Bulova is collaborating with Ultra and AREA 10 to follow select artists who are working together. From ‘behind the scenes’ uncovering their creative process of recording a song, to the artists’ official music video for that song, Bulova is capturing the journey.

The three-part video campaign launched in May with Ultra artist Betta Lemme pairing her with video director Dream Scientist for her newest single “PLAY”. The second installment of the series focused on SOFI TUKKER, teaming the duo with Latin icon Bomba Esthero for “Playa Grande.” Featured throughout you will find Bulova’s latest timepieces worn by artists, marking the iconic moment. The videos are released exclusively on Ultra Music’s YouTube channel, which has more than 18 million subscribers and over 10 billion music video views.

“Messing With Magic” serves as the title track for Englund’s debut EP Messing With Magic Area10/Ultra Music will release in 2020.

Upon its initial release in late 2019, “Messing With Magic” took notice with the press":

“Anabel Englund’s moment in the spotlight has been long overdue. The singer/songwriter’s distinctly dreamy voice has reverberated around the world through her numerous collaborations (“Reverse Skydiving,” “Electricity”) with dance heavyweights such as Jamie Jones, Lee Foss, and MK, as well as their Pleasure State and Hot Natured side projects. Today, she’s releasing ‘Messing with Magic,’ the lead single from her long-awaited EP of the same name. Produced by Jones, it recalls the gloriously verboten nature of deep house circa 2012: deep and dark production with a forever-descending bassline, and lyrics sultry yet sinister as Englund details a love that’s as indulgent as it is ill-advised. “I wanna go/fall into you,” she sings, “run into the dust / never catch us.” Call it Bonnie and Clyde for the club crowd;

‘Messing with Magic’ simply has us under its spell

Billboard

“…effervescent…”

Mixmag

“LA-based Anabel Englund recently released a satiating dancefloor feeler, “Messing with Magic,” with Ibiza mainstay, Jamie Jones, through Ultra Records’ Area10 division. With a dark twist in the form of a brooding bass supporting Englund’s resonant vocals alongside heartbeat percussion, the track offers its due diligence with a sprinkle of light, uplifting piano chords. Ther verses dive back into a more menacing tone,
as the hooks bring the piano house into play.
