Hi Guys & Dolls... A slick speaker design is on our cover this month created by Daniel Wanrooy, the words flow out mimicking waves of sound. The slight natural grain folds over onto our back over.

In this issue, écouter / listen to the sound of Mauritius with my hot favourites of the moment. #OnwardLU! Sarah’s Thoughts are a flurry with her college’s team dominating March Madness NCAA Tournament. But, what tunes are blasting through their headphones to pump them up? Rise up says Steve - why does is always rain on me like Travis sings? - fight through the darkness and we can shine again. CJ Marshall and Adam K & Soha bring out the warmth and delight in our Chillout section. On Screen the music makes a bold statement and intrigues curiosity with Apple and MoneySuperMarket. Music is my medicine. I turn lyrics into a poetic form, showing a love for the glorious world of sound.

Anderson .Paak - ’Til It’s Over

Écouter Our hot picks of what's playing in Mauritius right now.

Ene romance ki fer di bien. Vishal-Shekhar, Benny Dayal & Neeti Mohan - Bang Bang

A welcoming, dance groove draws you in with a feelgood factor. The melody is catchy along with the lyrics of a meeting which surely must be fate. A spell has been cast on my heart. The swirling conversation between the pair allow you to f e e l t h e i r r o m a n c e . Y o u fi n d yourself singing “bang bang” and moving to the lively beat.

Eksitan ek ranpli avek dézirs. Zack Knight x Jasmin Walia - Bom Diggy

An energetic club mood is set. This is an exciting and saucy track portraying the to-and-fros of desire. I wanna see you whine like Rihanna. The track drops into a sinful and dark bass.

Funky avek ene pincée zépis. Do Moon ft Klow Dy - Komare (David Montoya Remix)

This is a funky little number with a little touch of spice. The rhythmic beats with the soft jingle of a tambourine play a l o n g a d e e p m a i n t o n e , t h e fi e r y bursts of brass add exuberance. A soulful and spirited voice speaks of music being her source of inspiration. 12

#OnwardLU I am just so proud of these boys. Which boys? The one and only Loyola University Chicago Ramblers who are DOMINATING March Madness. First time in the Final Four since 1963!!!! The one thing I notice about these Ramblers, or better yet any athlete, is that no matter where I see them they have headphones in getting in the zone. Even when they are walking through a crowd with people chanting â&#x20AC;&#x153;LUC LUC LUC!â&#x20AC;? they still have headphones in! All I want to know is what music they are listening to! So, these are my predictions of the tunes blasting through the headphones of the Loyola Ramblers that help them get in the zone. Now, the team is made up of international players, so their taste in music is probably very different, but these are my generalized pump-up guesses.

D r a k e - G o d ' s P l a n I guess this song because at their last regular season home game, which I attended, they cut down the net with this song blasting in the gym. And, they were all rapping and dancing to it. So, I’m guessing that they are carrying that feeling off the court by listening to it in their downtime. Also, it might remind them that God might have a plan for them to win it all, not trying to get all divine intervention on you readers. DJ Khaled ft Ludacris, Rick Ross, TPain & Snoop Dogg - All I Do Is Win I overheard this song playing in Atlanta when we won the ticket to the Final Four, and every Loyola fan had it blasting in their homes, cars, bars, you name it! I’m guessing the players had it in their headphones. The Script - Hall of Fame This is probably an end goal of all the player – be inducted in the Hall of Fame. Right now, the nation knows some of their names, but they want it to last internationally and forever! T. I . - B r i n g E m O u t My basketball fantasy is to always play this song right before stepping on the court, so I would hope they listen to this song every time they w a l k i n t h e a r e n a . Whatever they are listening to, it works! GO RAMBLERS! 14

Sarah's Thoughts

M usic is my med icine When I turned on my rad io I foun d out all I nee ded to k now I got the m usic in me I'm gonna da nc e my blues away tonight Tur n up the spe ak ers I g otta get my bod y moving S hake t he stress away Spellbound rhythm g ets me on my fe e t That dir ty rhy thm mov es me Music m ake s me lose control The crowd g oes wi ld Whichever way the beat d rops, our bod ie s will go Let's esc ap e into the musi c Gr oove is in the hea rt

Rise Up Rain was omnipresent for the start of the year in Mauritius. It was horrible going through these weather changes and knowing only rain, lightning, cyclones and high humidity. Well that's part of life. Everything is changing around. Guess what, same has applied to life. Seems like it has been hell for everyone out there. Be it on energy shifts or name it whatever you like, it was awkward and quite a pain. Travis song "Why does it always rain on me" will b e t h e p e r f e c t fi t i n t h e s e c o n d i t i o n s . T h e m o r a l e quite low and not understanding why the dark sides of life keep hammering on my head. I was at some point overwhelmed by those never ending issues. I needed to focus on how to see the positive outcome out of it. Positive thinking works and gains over negativity. E s p e c i a l l y w h e n y o u b e l i e v e a n d s t a n d fi r m . Y o u r positive foundations then grow, it spreads and lets the light burst through these dark clouds. "Bring the sun back again" I yelled to myself. The light is within you own self, ignite it and let it burn all those anchors keeping you tied up to your lower self. I truly think now that these dark times were only a trial, even hard as it can be, I took up the challenge and fought back. Digging for the smallest particle of light, keeping it alive, believe that it can blast everything around to let the essence of life be ignited again. When facing ground and the will to give up is looming over you, just know one thing; the best you can do is to get up. Rise and shine. Shine again. Much love to you. 16

Stv

Your world spins around my senses Like a burst of crimson from your eyes

Sylvia Tosun - Underlying Feeling

Chillout... CJ Marshall ft Soulfull EmmaLouise - What You Say Ease into the the beautiful mellow warmth. Just let yourself go. Feel a certain level of thrill and grit from the subtle dark bass. What you do, tells me this love is true. Feel the passion. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hold back.

Sylvia Tosun - Underlying Feeling (Adam K & Soha Club Mix) Bathe in a tropical glow with the joyous feeling. Just smile. The calming ocean waves and a light blissful tone pleases all the senses. The beauty of life fills every essence of my being. 19

ON SCREEN

Making A Statement Music in advertising is often something that simply fl o w s b e s i d e t h e v i s u a l s a s a c o m p l i m e n t i n g f a c t o r o r to entice a feeling in extension to the main message. There are times, however, when the music will make a statement. You may not even know wh#at the advert is for until the very last glimpse of a brand name, but this piece will intrigue your curiosity through the use of sound and seemingly bizarre visuals. MoneySuperMarket’s #EPICACTIONMAN campaign commences as another advert which you may not take notice of - something about having saved with the brand. But then ‘Finally’ by CeCe Peniston starts playing. There is no voiceover making it oddly quiet for a regular interval, you look at the screen with more attention, puzzled by the view of dancing doll fi g u r e s . T h e fi n a l s e c t i o n r e v e a l s t h e b r a n d o n c e m o r e a n d t i e s i t a l t o g e t h e r , t h o u g h o n t h e fi r s t w a t c h y o u ’ r e s t i l l l e f t r a t h e r b a ffl e d . Apple’s Welcome Home by Spike Jonze / Homepod campaign begins almost like a tv show, witnessing the girl coming home from work, there is no voiceover or any music at this point so you’re unsure of whether it’s even a product advert. She then asks Siri to play her a song. Only then do we get the hint of what it really is. ’’Til It’s Over’ by Anderson .Paak s t a r t s p l a y i n g a s b a c k g r o u n d m u s i c a t fi r s t , t h e n s h e loses herself to the piece and the sound pushes through louder and more vividly. She dances beautifully and orchestrates her apartment to move with her. The track is equally unique and intricate. Overall you’re enchanted and delighted by the creativity in this advert, almost forgetting that it is a n a d v e r t a s y o u c o n t i n u e w a t c h i n g u n t i l t h a t fi n a l word of the product.

NEW MUSIC

A pizzicato effect leads us in. Her direct, nononsense vocals enter and then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hit with the impactful marching drums. The track is very punchy and crisp. Cutting through this bold force is an exquisite high note in the middle section. Ultimate power song

Dua Lipa - IDGAF

A twinkly and vibrant production on top of a rhythm you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but sway to. The vocals are lovely with an alluring female and smooth male. This is a very attractive and decadent song.

Mabel & Not3s Fine Line

Shoving him down fiercely into the friend zone, the lyrics of this do make you giggle. I love the flavourful strings and her sweet voice, this is accompanied by a great intense bass.

The lovely serene atmosphere of 'Space Odyssey' by ATHOM & Nuestro warms up to a bright dance piece. ATHOM & Nuestro arrive on InfraProgressive, making their label debut with the summer drenched vibes of 'Space Odyssey'. A track that packs a real punch thanks to its slick bass line and groove, yet still manages to effortlessly deliver a lush progressive melody, spine tingling breakdown and pack all the typical hallmarks of a great InfraProgressive record. These guys sure know how to carve an essential summer inspired anthem and 'Space Odyssey' is a firm example of that. www.infrasonicrecordings.com 24

The incredible juxtaposition between beauty and darkness.

A funky & uplifting take on the much-loved anthem.

‘Been Hustlin’’ by Guvna is a nice turnaround story. A gentle tune flows modestly, the main focus remains on the sharp and mindful lyrical work. Chase purpose. From the hard grind on the streets, traveling down the wrong path, now I’m on a different vibe. Blazing straight on to Spotify’s New Music Friday playlist, Apple Music’s Best of the Week and DJ Target’s #UKUnsigned record of the day, Guvna B releases his new single ‘Been Hustlin’, the second track taken from his forthcoming album. Centering on life lessons and rebelling against the status quo, ‘Been Hustlin’ is ultimately an insight in to Guvna B and the impressive journey the musician has been on. The double MOBO award winning rap and grime star lays down energetic and inspiring lyricism with his signature delivery across the melodic rap instrumental, while cheeky samples of Only Fools and Horses draw reference to the ultimate hustler, Del Boy. Having previously released the UK’s highest charting ‘clean’ Rap album in 2015 and subsequently achieving an Amazon bestseller for his debut book release ‘Unpopular Culture’ in 2017, Guvna B has long since been acknowledged for both his exemplary music and audacious application to his craft. He’s played the O2 Arena, Wembley Stadium and toured through North America, Australasia, Africa and Europe. He has worked with Destiny Child’s Michelle Williams, Matt Redman, Martin Smith, Hillsong and Nick Brewer, and platforms such as BBC, Sky News, and MTV have recognised his courage and success at making a positive impact through his music. Premiering via Complex, the video is an insight to the songs inspiration as Guvna B explained to them: "My dad was a proper hard worker right up until he died. I feel like I took on that trait but I was working towards the wrong things and buying lots of things just so I could stunt. This single is about me finding out what's really important in life". Yet even with such poignant meaning running deep, Guvna B displays his sharp wit and cheeky personality. Check out the new video below from black Del Boy himself. www.guvnab.com 26

‘UNITY EP’ BY QZB IS A DARK SET OF MINIMAL DNB TRACKS. ‘UNITY’ IS OUR SPOTLIGHT TRACK FROM THIS RELEASE, JUST OOZING WITH FILTHY FASCINATION. THE DEEP, ATMOSPHERE PENETRATES THE SKIN, BLOOD STARTS TO RUSH, YOUR HEART BEATS A LITTLE FASTER. THE FRAGMENTED BEAT ALONG WITH THE SUBTLE GRITTY BASS DRIVES THE FIERCE STRENGTH FORWARD. FOLLOWING ON FROM THE SUCCESS OF THEIR SYSTEMS VOLUME 9 RELEASE OF LAST YEAR AND THEIR REMIX OF FOREIGN CONCEPT’S ‘SKIT CITY’, SWISS DUO QZB CONTINUE THE CHARGE GRADUATING TO THEIR FIRST SOLO EP ON THE CRITICAL WITH A GLOWING GUEST ENDORSEMENT FROM ENEI.

‘Tempest’ by TerraNation holds a solemn moment of love and grief. The rain shall fall, a shadow of darkness cast upon us, my weary state of mind. A moving piece encapsulating many wandering feelings. Love, sorrow, gratitude and cherished memories form the structure. A deep, solemn introduction lulls us towards a stronger spirit with waves of sound flowing like a river of emotions on top of a steady beat. “Dedicated to my father who passed away very suddenly. Tempest, or storm in other words, is the same way our life is. We all should be happy with our life and live today like it's your last day. My track has inspiration that comes from deep inside my soul with emotions and emptyness that we all one day will experience,” TerraNation. www.awjrecordings.com 29

‘6AM’ by Witchdoctor is delightful. ‘Champagne’ splashes a touch of elegance with the use of strings on top of a light bumpy number - like gold jewellery over a cute LBD! ‘6AM’ holds a darker bass whilst ‘Wot U R’ connects the two moods together with hazy vocal cuts and sparks of high instrumental notes. Witchdoctor is an emerging new talent on the UKG and Bass Music scene. Operating out of London, the DJ & Producer has been steadily carving a name out for himself in both genres, most recently with his wicked debut release on Hausmade. Downplay is proud to present ‘6AM, the sophomore EP from London producer Witchdoctor. ‘Champagne’ kicks off proceedings with a fully feelgood vibe, staccato rhythms and good-time melodies mixing it up before the groove steps in properly. Sugar-sweet basslines and chopped vocals intersperse the track for a little ray of UKG sunshine that will put a smile on any raver’s face. Title track ‘6AM’ takes another path entirely, with a low-slung 4X4 rhythm guiding the beat across chord washes and a rolling bassline that gives the production a full-on warehouse bumpy bubbler taste that’ll have the floor full in no time. ‘Wot U R’ mixes the best elements of both proceeding tracks into a perfect UKG concoction, saccharine melodies inter-playing tough beats to mesmerizing effect. www.facebook.com/DownplayRecordings

‘Kadeema’ by Dirty Freud ft Fullmarx & Salio is addictive. A sweet, enticing voice and glittery jangles of sound. This contrasts well against a dark, wobbly bass and the reflective lyrical flow. Dirty Freud, “the unruly prince of electronica and the bastard son of electro bass music” is releasing his latest EP Boxing with God (Keep It Dirty Records). The 5-track release features collaborations with Fullmarx, Salio and Bradley Lynch. “Boxing with God feels like a continuation of the Agenda EP, released in 2014. Like then, I’ll be transcribing more of my travels. I’ve kept many journals throughout the ages; some of them are falling to pieces, but time always brings decay, so I had to record them somehow. We all try to leave a legacy on the earth”. Dirty Freud Dirty Freud has enjoyed multiple playlists on BBC Radio 6 Music, BBC 1Xtra, Manchester BBC Introducing and Rinse FM and the UK based artist and producer’s previous EP Dirty Deeds reached top 10 in Beatport and Juno. He won Best New DJ and Best New Producer at Bass Movement Awards and was named in the top 3 at the awards ceremony for each category. Dirty Freud received excellent reviews from his performances at Bestival, Lovebox, Citadel, Beat-herder and Soundwave and is supported by cutting-edge brands including Jagermeister, Dr Martens and Chunk Clothing. Dirty Freud’s writing and production talents are well documented. He published two tracks with BMG which were later used on soundbeds across daytime TV. He mixes and masters for a regular clientele, working with commercial artists such as Pixie Lott and Leeroy Thornhill. www.soundcloud.com/dirtyfreud 31

‘Disillusioned’ by David Forbes pres. Hal Stucker is a dramatic odyssey. A progression through contemplation and dark desires. The intense middle section thrills and evokes curiosity. This is the 2nd instalment of David Forbes first Hal Stucker album ‘Electronic Excursions’ (forthcoming on Pure Progressive in a couple of months time). The Hal Stucker sound is dance legend David Forbes (Public Domain, Optimus, Active Force, Tekra, Arkadi etc.) exploring his progressive side; deep, emotive, melodic, expertly crafted dance music. ‘Disillusioned’ is constructed around a pulsing, arpeggiated bassline made from multiple, filtering layers, which creates a lockedin groove on the floor. A neat dialogue sample makes it’s statement at the break, while analogue Pink Floyd-esque tones come to the fore – driving the track to it’s grinding peak. First on the remix tip is the Australian Matter – famed for his stunning ‘The Bends’. His remix, in Matter’s own words is “possibly by best work yet” – and we wholeheartedly agree. It is deep, sultry and glorious. Secondly, Russian Slam Duck – fresh from the mindblowing ‘Mercury EP’ delivers an acid-bass-line fuelled prog masterpiece. www.david-forbes.com 32

'London' by Lethal Bizzle ft Chip is dirty! A tribute to one of the greatest cities on Earth, London boys and proud. This rough and ready track grabs you with the catchy hook. The hard bass, in-your-face style and a slither of a sexy female vocal cut all come together to give you a bit of a guilty pleasure. www.lethalbizzle.com

‘I Got You’ by Serena Kern ft McLean is beautiful. The vocals hold a warm tone, the smooth male and female harmonious together. I fall deeper for you every single day. The production is light and easygoing with lovely details of little twinkles and strings. A blissful story of love. I Got You is the new single by soulful beauty Serena Kern, produced by chart topping urban producer, Ayo Beatz and her long time music collaborator Chris Rockall of Music Matters. I Got You is a smooth soulful, pop, R&B track featuring McLean, one of the UK’s most talented R&B/soul acts. “Chris and Ayo sent me “I Got You” as a musical arrangement and I loved it. When McLean and I wrote to it we realised we had something very special. ANSAH's remix is great and gives the track a real David Guetta type club/ dance vibe so, whether you are looking for something to dance to or chill to, “I Got You”. The single is taken from her forthcoming EP. “Chasing Rainbows”, the title track of the EP of the same name, with an urban soul/R&B/club feel, will be released later this spring. Serena was born in a small town in southern India called Coonoor. She spent her childhood enjoying the peaceful beauty of the town with its tea plantations and the beautiful green forested land that surrounded it. As an artist, Serena loves to draw on her Indian roots. In 2015 she approached Rishi Rich (Teddy Riley, Jay Sean) who is currently based out in Atlanta. “It happened very fast. I emailed Rishi to see if he would like to work with me and immediately he responded “yes, come over and let’s record”. She remembers. “I flew to Atlanta and recorded 3 tracks in 3 days!” The result was critically acclaimed EP “Dream” which the Asian music scene welcomed with open arms. The title track featured on the BBC Asian Network Official Downloads Charts for several weeks. Serena is now drawing more influence from her life in London, which can be heard in her recent track Drop Top featuring UK hot artist of the moment Ms Banks. Serena works tirelessly to fund her music and her professional life involves running various charities and foundations. Though she may look angelic, Serena is a nononsense lawyer who fights for what she believes in. This sense of ambition has been invaluable for her music career and has helped drive her success. www.serenakern.com 34
