Rokuro So here goes with my first contribution for Audiation Magazine, I think we should start with the incredible resurgence of dance music that has taken over the UK official pop charts at the moment, The majority of it Deep House, Chilled House and UK Garage, With the more full on EDM sound starting to lose ground here in the the last 12 months, As we speak, eight of the top 10 are all dance tracks, top 3 being at 1.and one of my favourite tracks of this year, Mr Probz - Waves (Robin Schulz Remix) at 2 Calvin Harris - Summer and at 3. Kiesza - Hideaway…

Great chilled and deep house tracks to look out for this month are Y.V.E “On the Road" (Armada), chilled guitars with a serious deep bass sound to this. With a repeating On the Floor male vocal, this one's going to be massive.

Another top track, Spanish Guitar summer style is Alex Kenji Ft Dacia Bridges, called “work", Out on Spinning deep, Forget Calvin Harris this track is what really what summer is all about.

One of the best house tracks around at the moment is Lovebirds, featuring Lisa Shaw called "holding on"… Electro beats and old school synths.

Another awesome Chilled deep track is EDX- “Breathin", Total blissed out piano’s with an R&B style male voca tol this, plus one of the coolest baselines you will hear.

Spinnin Records seem to be releasing more and more deep house these days, Something I’m quite happy about personally ;-) 8

www.AudiationMagazine.com

Another total killer is Tiesto- “Wasted", The Mike Mago Remix. Mike totally takes the original and turns it into a funky deep house baseline track, with cut up vocal snippets.

On a slightly harder edge, you shouldn’t miss the new Don Diablo track, "Knight Time", Coming out on (SPRS). Old school style house updated for 2014, complete with retro vocal samples from the 90’s.

Larse, Sneaky sound system - "This Feeling" is another blissed out house track. Pretty haunting in a way, plus an amazing vocal, coming out on Noir records shortly.

The Shapeshifter guys are also back with “Heartache" feat, Calvin Lynch. This one drifts slightly in Uk Garage with its baseline, but retains the Deep house vibe and a soulful male vocal.

Other nice ones to track down are Rene Amesz - Let Me on Toolroom records.

Oliver Heldens “Gecko" now has a vocal courtesy of The Voice Uk contested Becky Hill, It's getting abit of negative press for slapping the vocal on top but definitely UK pop chart bound when realeased on 22 june.

Others to track down this month are, Lupe Fuentes "So High" on Brobot records, 16bit liotes, the organ track on Anjuna Deep, definitely one of my favourite labels at the moment, Arron Smth - “Dancin" - Krono remix is an absolute beauty…. Massive Nudisco/House/Electro track and Currently one of my favourite tracks around at the moment.. Out now is the huge Cazzette- “Sleepess", Its Destined for a top ten in the UK pop charts if you ask me, It's that big. More great deep house tracks Include ten walls, "Walking with Elephants" on Boso Records, Sweet Baby - “Mickey" on Exploited Records.. And my other pop chart prediction for this month, "i feel the heat", in the new tesco advert, Wow what a vocal this has, and an MK remix to boot. UK’s 17 year old Ella Henderson is set for her First UK No1 when her Debut Single “Ghost” is Released on the 8th of June. A great soulful funky pop track. This girl is going to be massive, it also has a fantastic Oliver nelson Funk/NuDiso Total Quality remix. On a more EDM vibe there is a great remix of Nicky Romero’s "Like home" track, by one of Brazils most famous DJs Gui Arruda, Look out for this guy in 2014. I'll be doing a DJ top ten so thought i'd kick it off with Gui’s top ten...Also if you're loving you USA style EDM you can catch my man paul Grundman AKA PGX From Celeste&Rokuro, every monday at 6:00 pm EST live in the mix on the jrfm network, repeated on Wednesdays. There are also a couple of cool remixes out by some bloke called Rokuro, Celeste&Rokuro - "Signs of time", Elsie- "Wild One" And Rita Ora - "I Will Never Let You Down"., all to be found on my Soundcloud page.

See you next month… Rokuro

Martin Carr & Junior UKG Introducing "Hiding" produced by Junior UKG with vocals from Martin Carr. The is the first original track the pair have worked together on, boasting of summery vibes along with great vocals. Junior UKG has 2-step flowing out his ears and he loves to give the bumpy touch to various tracks, including his latest rework of Kat Dahlia's "Crazy". Martin Carr with his sweet vocal tones is sure to get you singing too, having also just released Rise EP. "Since I released my first single GETAWAY from the RISE ep back in Feb 14th on BBC Northants Inspiration fm 107.8 with Paddy Grady, the music has taken a massive jump for all involved. Get Away led to the meeting of DJ Junior aka Nick Hounslow, as he heard the track on SoundCloud. Nick got in touch with me directly and asked me if he could remix the track as he thought he could make a seriously good UKG remix to compliment the original. So naturally I was interested and we immediately hit it off from the start. Within 24 hours Nick had finished the track to my amazement and to my pleasant surprise I was totally happy with the results. Since then Nick and I have gone onto making several other tracks and a couple of remixes such as ‘Song For You’ which I have put on the Rise ep along with ‘Get Away’ which has featured on many underground and internet radio stations such as the Award winning FREEK FM, KANE FM, SOUTHSTAR RADIO, URBAN KRONIX, KRISS FM and many more. The original Get Away track also had a video made for it and was released on youtube on April 1st and has since reached over 16k views. Our current project is a track called ‘HIDING’ which Nick has decided to release as a single ep with 4 remixes from different genres. The SoundClound stats for the clip we put up for Hiding have been very impressive in the short time we have had it on Nicks page as are all of the tracks we have done so far. We think we have a fresh and unique style with catchy lyrics that crosses into mainstream commercial chart music and judging from the promo campaigns, DJ and radio feedback we've been encouraged to continue what we are doing. Anyway be sure to keep supporting our movement as there is plenty more coming from Nick and myself, Thankyou." Martin Carr. 12

"I was trawling through Soundcloud one day (as I do everyday looking for fresh new music & talent) and I came across this track called “Get Away”. After listening to it, straight away I was hooked and thought “ive gotta do a remix of this” so I sent the artist a message basically asking him if I could do a remix of it and send it back to him to see what he thinks. We exchanged emails for a couple of days and eventually I received the acapella from Martin Carr and got to work. I finished it within 2 days and sent it back to him and well, the response I got I wasn’t expecting, he loved it. We started chatting some more about music and how he liked my style of Uk Garage and if I had any other productions or could make some more similar to what I had done on “Get Away” so we exchanged a few tracks and song ideas which later turned into my remix of his other track from the Rise EP “Song For You” & our first original collaboration “Hiding”. Since we put the Hiding clip on Soundcloud the response has been MEGA, weve had loads of People, Dj’s, Singers, Record Labels & even other Producers showing interest, love & support for it. Also with 4 of the BIGGEST producers around at the moment putting their stamp on the remixes for the EP, its gonna be a force to be heard. First on the remixes we have Jack N Danny (House Ent) with a Bass House remix, Solo Suspex (Ayklogic Records) with a 4x4 Todd-esque sounding remix, B1G PROJ3CT with an awesome homage to how Garage used to sound with his Dub remix and Zettin Zee with a nice minimal sounding 2 Step remix. We are currently working on the release date for the EP and it should be available on all good digital music download stores very soon….. There is plenty more projects coming from me and Martin as we’ve decided to keep the collaboration going and produce an albums worth of music between us, so watch this space for future projects as you aint gonna be able to listen to a mix cd or turn the radio on without hearing one of our tracks. Lastly I just wanna say a MASSIVE thank you to everyone who’s shown love and support over the past 5 months and propelled us to the position we're in of spreading fresh good quality music to the masses, THANK YOU." Junior UKG

I had a blast!” Dancehall superstar Popcaan, who has previously worked with the likes of Snoop Dogg and Drake, lends his unique freestyle rhymes and beats to the track. On working with him, Melissa says, “Popcaan is also a really cool and talented artist.

Matthew Daniel English Nu-Soul and Jazz producer. I’m currently producing songs for my first album. There are collaborations with some interesting artists and they are working in the music industry creating Soul music - delicious cosmic soul dust with bass and beautiful poetry & melodies . I have worked on this collaborations album for two or three years. I play keyboard and piano, I’m from the UK, I live in a beautiful part of London where I have a studio to make music and record with artists. What does music mean to you? Music is a life line, it isn’t just a hobbie and that passion that I put into making songs not only is positive it’s a vice. I may not be a singer-performer, a lot of big industry people expect musicians to do it all and this idea is unrealistic. Where does your inspiration come from when creating music? Usually it comes from a feeling or a song that strikes a chord with me. I don’t always know. Often that happens when I make my favorite songs. I use instruments that compliment each other; I’m working on being a stronger beat maker as far as composition and mixing. I write lyrics and wrote Lose Your Smile lyrics and Attempt Again lyrics. It’s a dream of mine to write and produce with one artist and make a body of work, who knows what will come. Music Industry advice? Unless your already working with them nobody has your best interests at heart and I say it from experience. Just focus on making good music and forget about who said what and really focus on getting the songs you like the most out to the right people even if its not listened to it really takes a lifetime to find yourself as a musician and artist.

THE PERSONIFICATION OF SOUL Vol 1 A self-produced Various Artists album where I have decided to collaborate with fresh talent and produce Soulful collaborations. I have a lot of different vocalists featured on my album. It is the most unplanned project not for the time it took to make, just, for the way the collaborations took place. I started producing this album back in 2011 and my album is really my way of showcasing my skills as a new producer and timeless songwriting.

If I am going to be honest my album tracks came to life when I worked with musicians and I want to continue doing it this way. The super star on my album is Zulema Nakinda, she is a producer, singer, songwriter and graphic designer from New Jersey, NY. Zulema’s voice reminds me of old school Mary J Blige. Bernard Rose plays Saxophone Lovers Groove and Under the Stars adds a Jazz sound I really appreciate him recording this way because he wasn’t used to up loading and sending mp3’s! I’ve featured a talented London based singer-songwriter with a rich soul voice on a deep groove track called Soul Personified Linda Muriel and we may have a few more songs to get done, lets see! I can’t give too much away! www.butterflyjazzrecords.co.uk

Hectic Tim Fitzpatrick; known in the industry as Hectic, has dropped a wide variety of acclaimed tracks in a very short period of time, ranging from dubstep to glitch hop to garage and UK bass music. Hectic's previous releases, including the tracks “Complex”, “Evolve”, “Fatal”, “Sudden Death”, “Don’t Tell Me”, “Zone 10”, “How Could You” and “You Got Me” have established his name once and for all. His latest releases, the ''Trendsetter'' EP and ''Drop It'', as well as various tracks on DJ Hatcha's label, Hatched, delivered a raw, uncut and heavy dubstep workout to the dancefloors. Setting the pace with relentless beats in a spacious and rough soundscape, it is clear that Hectic gives a new twist to the dubstep genre. He has received radio play and support from BBC Radio 1Xtra, Kiss FM, XFM and Sub FM.

London producer Hectic has been busy at work in the studio and has some great remixes for our ears! A dark twist of Iggy Azalea ft Charli's "Fancy", wow I've switched off from the commercial world but this remix completely destroys the poptastic original. The remix of I Killed Kenny's "Nobody", nice dark chillstep with subtle light undertones. Hectic also gives a gritty edge to Veronica Vesper's "Fuck The Ego".

State Unknown enter the summer season with the vocal smasher alongside Jamie Lewis,a talented singer from Essex, UK, who alongside State Unknown, has been working like crazy with a string of quality releases with numerous high profile labels and producers (Hed Kandi, Dirty Freek, Frater and Stent, Gorgon City). Original mix is a pure summer corker bringing the early inspiration of the conquering London vibe of the late 90's/early noughties to the cut. Swing beats, big basslines alongside an infectious, hook laden delivery by Jamie that has all genders hooked in. On the remix, State Unknown go at it with their trademark sound, skippy 4/4 beats pushing for the bouncing dischorded baseline, twisted melodies and stabs purely for the deep bass club floors! Also on remix duties, they invite an absolute gem of a producer, Maff Boothroyd heralding from Halifax, UK, who State Unknown met while working on a previous project last year, they had to have him back on board for another full on energy driven refix! Pure peaktime smasher.

I'm pleased to be able to share probably my most heartfelt work to date. By putting this out into the world I'm trying to create something that will last and won't be forgotten about in a week's time. That's my intention anyway. I guess we're all just trying to do something significant. I've tried to make something sincere and hopefully it resonates with you. The EP is due for a full release via iTunes, Beatport and Traxsource on 16th June but I'm giving those people who care about what I'm doing the chance to get it early. As an additional thank you for your continued support, I've included a bonus track 'Love Mistakes' as well as the radio edit of 'Lovesick'. These will not be available on the general release. I am offering this on a 'pay-what-you-want' basis, and within that there is the option to get the EP completely for free. I'm open minded about how the music business has changed and if it turns out to be a good idea, I would like to continue to do things in this way. I realise that in these ever changing days people have many different ways of accessing music, most of it for free. I would hope, however, that if what I do connects with you then you will feel that there is value in it and you'll be happy to pay what you think it's worth. The EP has already had plays on Radio 1 and Kiss FM as well as being included on the next Hed Kandi: Beach House compilation, so I'm really excited for you all to hear it Much love, Scott. 3 23

The Beat Corporation ft Alison Bethune & Natasha Sky You Don't Know A bumpy rework of a classic released on Champion Records. The video is a blend of urban style, funky graphics, and kick-ass dance moves! Slick editing and moderately paced shots to match the bouncy beat. This is one for your summer playlist! The Beat Corporation are a group of artists that came together to create music with no limitations. Based in Manchester UK, Tyler Daley & Jody ‘Jodz’ Spence are both established producers & songwriters in their own right and share a common goal which is to make effective club music that has no boundaries. From Deep house/Nu disco/soulful house/Dance & Electro with deep heavy basslines the vibe is reminiscent of the old school House and Garage era they grew up in with melodies playing a big part in the sound. A big coup for the boys was when their track ‘Elevation’ was played in a Disclosure & Zed Bias back to back at Warehouse in Manchester. Their biggest profile remixes are for Roy Davis Jr, Omar, Zed Bias, Ghetto n MC Nasty and more. Continuing their incredible progression, later this year The Beat Corporation have been confirmed to play at the Glastonbury festival in Bez’s Acid House tent. ‘You Don’t Know’ is a cover of the classic RnB record by 702, originally released in 1999 & became a dancefloor smash in the UK Garage 2step scene shortly after. The 2014 cover features vocalists Alison Bethune & Natasha Sky, whom the Beat Corp both met locally in Manchester. Alison Bethune has been involved in various tracks across different genres, with her vocal often described as soulful and sultry. Natasha Sky is a 22year old singer-songwriter from Manchester. She is in the process of recording her first album which features well known musicians such as Aziz Ibrahim from the Stone Roses & Simply Red.

Pōston & Lizzie Curious - Stranded Black Hole 646-0 www.blackholerecordings.com Black Hole Recordings proudly introduces a new addition to the artist roster with the signing of Dallas, Texas-based DJ/producer, Pōston. Though the name might not yet sound familiar, Pōston will likely be found at the top of the charts with memorable vocal trance tunage, beginning with his first single, “Stranded,” and a catchy follow up with Linnea Schössow due later this summer. With his debut effort, Pōston joins forces with London dance music artist, Lizzie Curious, for a seven minute spine tingling rollercoaster. Poston’s masterfully crafted production skills take center stage just as “Stranded” begins with a crisp, pounding bassline. Building quickly like crashing waves, larger than life snares soon intermix, making way for a mystical chord progression that highlights Lizzie’s unique, haunting vocal performance. Fans of Lizzie’s massive 2011 hit collaboration, “Departures” with Robbie Rivera/Cosmic Gate, will appreciate the self-penned vulnerable yet relatable lyrics that keep “Stranded” in a league of its own. Poston further cements that notion with a hair raising breakdown capable of wringing every subtle nuance of emotion from each listener. The dark yet uplifting breakdown features sweeping strings and solemn piano chords before the crashing bassline returns with a dash of added spice to disrupt the dancefloor. Together with Lizzie Curious, Pōston’s major label debut sets the standard of modern vocal trance at it’s very finest. Don’t miss the first single of this rising star’s discog; “Stranded” hits Beatport EXCLUSIVELY on June 9th!

Retrospekt & Platkovsky - Faded EP Slime welcomes Retrospekt back to the label, this time bringing with him a new partnership in the shape of Polish producer Platkovsky. The seductive elements of the former’s previous production style are all still present and correct, but through this forged alliance we are treated to a brace of tracks that now pack a considerably harder punch. The combined potency of both producers ensures these cuts will be essential ammunition for any DJ looking to fill a floor. ‘Faded’ opens proceedings with a rolling kick and pulsating bassline, before unveiling the Retrospekt & Platkovsky mantra from the mouth of a wasted partygoer, succinctly put as “Name three fun things to do…drink, party and smoke”. The track builds itself around an insistent melody line, layered across speaker-shaking drums that will incite clubbers to follow their philosophy to the letter. ‘Play Us’ tells the tale of current dance culture across snapping percussion and percolating drums, complete with a mischievous edge and plenty of explicit name dropping of the scenes biggest players. A serpentine bassline slithers and slides around the track with a chokehold grip, pouring directly out of the speakers and straight into your brainstem. ‘HVN’ drops the tempo down for a sensual little number Perfectly poised vocals rub gently against narcotic beats and cavernous bass stabs for a late-night jam that will be the soundtrack to many a headsdown weekend workout before the sun comes up. Up and coming house producer Matt Fear steps in to strip ‘HVN’ down and rebuild it into a monster of a track, relentless drums providing the exoskeleton around a beating heart of sublime chords and warm tones. The sting in its tail comes with a killer bassline that will blow minds and melt sneakers on the dancefloor. SLM111 | www.slimerecordings.co.uk

Jordan Morris (feat Dappy) - Taking Your Side (Solo Suspex Remixes) Born in London, England on August 12th 1994, 19-Year Old Jordan Dominic Morris was destined for great things from the very beginning. The influences of the urban North West London scene would soon become apparent in his artistry and he became a regular performer at open mics and underground performances throughout London, winning the favor and support of major UK industry players like Jamal Edwards of SBTV and producers Zay-D. Jordan went on to record music with UK recording artist 'Faith SFX', building on his knowledge of music, he fell in love with the sounds of artists like Lemar, Robin Thicke, Brian McKnight and Justin Timberlake. "I just want to be the best artist I can be, I've been inspired by so many talented people from all over the world and I feel like I owe it to anyone who supports me on my journey to simply make them feel something when they listen to my music". In May 2013, Jordan signed a management contract with Jareiq 'JQ' Kabara, President, Creative Director at The LDN Agency. Impressed by Jordan’s artistic tenacity, JQ partnered with Music Producer Sasha Farhadian and Business Executive Azos L. Rashid to create independent label ‘IQMG’ ultimately signing Jordan Morris as their flagship artist.
