Sing-As-You-Go Taxis Carpool karaoke is turned on it’s head, this is the world’s first taxi in which you pay for your ride by singing! I love this idea because it not only eradicates the problem of money worries, but it also encourages people to have fun in what would usually be a mundane scenario in life. And, of course, it adds a little extra happiness to the world. Fortum Singalong Shuttle is a taxi service that only accepts singing as payment. The emission-free rides are operated on electric cars. Singalong Shuttle will be introduced in Finland in early July at Ruisrock festival. What if you could pay your ride by singing? Fortum Singalong Shuttle combines rideshares with Carpool Karaoke - and is purely run on electric cars. It is the world’s first taxi that you pay by singing. Singalong Shuttle will operate at Ruisrock festival in Finland 6-8th of July. Singalong Shuttle is provided by clean-energy company Fortum, who wants to engage its customers and the society to join the change for a cleaner world. The company offers a wide range of clean energy solutions and encourages its customers to live a more sustainable life. Fortum is also actively developing sophisticated EV charging solutions. Fortum Charge & Drive EV charging network is the largest one in the Nordics with over 2000 chargers across the area. “With Singalong Shuttle we want to show people in a joyful way how comfortable and easy it is to drive an electric car,” says Fortum’s Brand Manager Jussi Mälkiä. “The silent electric cars make it possible to enjoy singing without background noise and emissions,” he continues. www.fortum.com/singalongshuttle

THINGS THAT MAKE ME

SMILE.

I was very into Pirate Radio stations; unfortunately this was in 1988, so the Acid House era had kicked in and I was too young to go out and rave! So I'd spend a lot of time in my bedroom listening to stations like WNK, Lazer, LWR, Kiss, Fantasy and Dance, familiarising myself with the music. By the time I was 13, I was down the record shop every Saturday, spending all my pocket money on vinyl. I also grew up singing in front of large crowds, so I didn't have stage fright or anything like that. Any time I saw a band at a function, I used to ask them if I could sing and they'd let me! I had hopes of a singing career and I loved Drama at school so I went on to study Performing Arts at Full of enthusiasm and positive energy, college after I left school. Nev G enjoys sharing her creativity with the world. The female DJ holds a While I was at Barnet College huge passion for oldschool music (1992-1994) I heard Jungle Music on ranging from various genres including someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s walkman and was instantly RnB, Hip Hop, Jungle, Soul and Dance. converted. I was a self-renowned She also puts other interests into focus Junglette and adored the Junglistic way alongside this, for example her special of life from that time onwards; the raves, shows contain horoscope themes in the production on some of the tracks, which the artists featured are chosen the chemistry between the MC's and DJ's to correlate with the current month in on stage. The ability to hear my name the astrological signs - the early June being shouted on London's Number One show featured Gemini artists. Nev G radio station at the time - Kool FM. It was shares her story with us,,, a magical time. Music had changed from the 1988 Acid House and Hardcore eras Tell us a little about yourself and how and Junglism was an entirely new and you got into music. fantastic movement that I still follow and rave to - to this day! I guess it started as soon as I had access to a tape recorder. As an only child in Then after I left Barnet College in 1994, the early 80's - when I was about 6, I was I was studying Performing Arts again at a bit obsessed with recording my voice uni when I had a penny drop moment; and playing it back. I still have those why am I pretending to be someone else tapes believe it or not! I also used to on stage (as an actress) when I have this record Soul music off the radio at the big personality and a serious age of 6 and 7 too. By the time I was 12,

eclectic love and collection of music? I should be in radio! So I left uni in 1997 and sought out a job in Hospital Radio just for the experience. Within a few months I landed myself my first radio show on London Turkish Radio, Tuesday nights 10pm - 12am called Nev G's Niteride playing R&B, D&B and HipHop. I stayed there for 9 years before moving on to Xtreme FM and then on to Deja Vu FM - where I have been doing Nev G's Nostalship for 6 years now, every Sunday between 6 - 8pm. It has given me a brilliant opportunity to interview some great artists and be as creative as I want, incorporating themes to most of my shows. For example: Nev G's 100% Gemini Artist Nostalship - whereby every artist I play is a Gemini. I give all dates of birth of these artists and do my research prior. Also, Nev G's Nostalship has also given me the pleasure of interviewing some artists such as Omar, Conya Doss, Don-E, Karyn White, Joyce Sims, Tony Momrelle, DJ Kane, Lady MC, Deman Rocker (Ragga Twins) and Dwele.

priceless about playing to a dance floor as well; the reactions are instant. The blokes find it refreshing that a woman (and a glam one at that!) is behind the decks and the women feel rather good about the fact that a woman is representing for that hour. It's very heartwarming when women approach me to big me up for my set. Your Nostalship shows take us through old school music together with special astrology episodes and readingsâ&#x20AC;Ś Can you tell us a little about this, are you quite into spirituality and get vibes from people? I am very intuitive about peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s energies but I don't tell everyone or put this fact out there on social media. My spirituality is a very personal thing for me. Along with a lot of other stuff, I hold it close to my heart, my feelings intensify more that way and my intuitive side is quite private for me. I've always been in to my fitness regime and in 2010 I discovered Bodybalance; it's a cross between Yoga, Pilates and Tai Chi. It works on all the core muscle groups with an 8-10 minute meditation at the end. This adds to my spiritually connected side. I absolutely love it, it makes me feel centered, empowered, strong and all zenned out.

I have been in to astrology since I was a teenager; my mother was too and I guess I get it from her. What I would say to the Deman Rocker Ragga Twins on my sceptics is that it's not about your daily Taurus Nostalship horoscope in the paper that you need to go by, more the adjectives of I do love presenting my own show on characters described in astrology that radio, but there's something quite is a really good guide to get an idea of 13

what peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s characters are like. For example, I am a typical Pisces in that I am very emotional, very sensitive, intuitive, I love the limelight, I am imaginative, creative, indecisive, dreamy, I hate confrontation of any kind and I tend to go with the flow in life generally.

100% 1988 Nostalship and I did every year in-between through to 2006. It took me nearly a year to do. I enjoyed it so much that when I got to the end, I did it all over again! My most enjoyable ones were 1989, 1994, 1995, 1996 and 2001.

You also present weekday weather reports for London, how did you get Because I am passionate about interested in that? And, if you could live astrology, I have always enjoyed in only one season forever, which combining my two passions together, would it be and why? so every month I do a read up during my show on the particular sign that we're Oh the summer, without a shadow of a currently in.

The Joy Of Sound We donated to Great Ormond Street Hospital and Children's Charity's "Room To Hear" appeal which supports children learning to hear with the cochlear implant in a specialised room. “When we switch on a child’s cochlear implants, it’s vital that we don’t overload their tiny ears,” says Catherine Broxholme, Lead Audiologist for Cochlear Implants. “That’s why a soundproof room is essential. Many children have never heard sound before in their life.” Take a look at the campaign and feel free to donate, even a little can help a lot. www.gosh.org/help-give-more-children-max-joy-sound

Aussi libre que moi Greetings from the island hoping you are all well! My share is about Calogero, a French artist I first listened to back in early 2000's. I love his style, music and lyrics. A Frenchie Rock with much drive and groove. What I love the most is that Calogero is a bass player and his bass lines are awesome, punchy and catchy. His song "Aussi Libre Que Moi" was sounding some weeks ago. The lyrics were enticing; do not resist, come and embrace a new relationship; freely. Back at the start of June, days were quite hard especially from a career perspective, and #tbh was not in a mood to talk about it or even talk to people. Well, the physical stress was here; being on the job reveals to be more complicated as the feeling of ownership (from the top) was nowhere to be found. I needed direction and change. Guess what, I'm about to jump from an unknown height to reach out my goal of being my own boss! The major shift was that I needed to free myself from old beliefs, standards or preconceptions of life and embrace a new way of thinking. Reaching out for my essential needs, and most of all be happy. Things are shaping up as I am closing my last day as an employee. I'm sharing with hope that it could be a positive boost for others, knowing that people are changing, willing to take risks and most of all believing in their own capacity and dreams. Thank you for your ongoing support. Take care at your end. Be showered by light and be blessed. www.AudationMagazine.com

10 Outstanding TV Theme Tunes Freeview’s recent advertising campaign poses the question “how many of these themes do you recognise?” A cleverly produced mash up of theme tunes commences along with a visual collage effect timed to match the music accordingly. This got me thinking about what theme tunes are actually danceable or tunes that you’d listen to off-screen and enjoy. Here’s my top 10. 1. Big Brother: Big Brother UK TV Theme, by ElementFour (Paul Oakenfold & Andy Gray) Iconic. It is notoriously linked to the show, but is also an absolutely killer trance anthem that you would happily rave to in the clubs. The track was released and even reached #4 in the UK singles chart. 2. Friends: I'll Be There For You, by The Rembrandts Another famous song in its own right known from the sitcom, it’s fun, catchy and you can’t help singing along. This pop song brings everyone together with a theme of love and friendship through the rollercoaster of life. The song was released, topping multiple US charts and reaching #3 in the UK singles chart. 3. Grand Designs: Grand Designs Titles by David Lowe Both opening and closing are beautiful pieces of music, however the latter really is extraordinary. The opening is distinct with piercing strings singing to you in a memorable tune. The closing titles take the same melody, though this time using light piano touches and feathery charm around it. It’s very delicate and almost magical. These would be pleasant accompaniments to an evening ball or special celebrations. 24

www.AudationMagazine.com

4. The IT Crowd: By Neil Hannon This brings a smile to your face with the easy-going pace, bright synths and simplicity of production. The memorably tune would work great in the pop charts with everyone singing “do do do-do”. It’s a track that you just bop your head to and can fit in a good, leisurely mood. 5. Electric Dreams: By Harry Gregson-Williams I really love this with a dystopian feel and fragmented structure. The dark bass, an eerily soft voice and thrilling strings all clashing against each other yet beautifully moulded. It’s not quite danceable, though would be the soundtrack to one of those hazy and hedonistic moments. 6. The Ellen DeGeneres Show: Today’s The Day, by P!nk & Greg Kurstin A feelgood pop song with a motivational tone to suit the inspiring show. You dance along and enjoy the warmth from the song. The song was released and ranked well across the world’s charts. 7. Never Mind The Buzzcocks: Unknown A simple yet strong melody on the guitars, pumping up the energy. This pop/rock tune is very appealing and gives you a burst of brightness. A track you’d just rock out to and go wild at the summer festivals. 8. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air: Yo Home to Bel-Air, by DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince Another singalong favourite, this from the talented Will Smith who made his mark in the music world with a fresh and fun style. This tells the humorous plot of the show in a relatable, youthful manner. The song was released exclusively in the Netherlands and peaked at #3 in their singles chart. 9. Footballers’ Wives: Unknown A simple melody with a pop/garage style. It encompasses the charm of the game in the lightness, and the raunchy drama with the darker turns. It’s not quite as bold to stick in your mind, but it is a track that would work well in the underground clubs of the early noughties. 10. Strictly Come Dancing: Strictly Come Dancing - Theme Tune by Dan McGrath & Josh Phillips Full of flavour and vibrancy. This song is elegant, lavish and has a wowfactor through the exciting brass sections. It would be a perfect pairing to a fancy or exotic dancing occasion.

"Being on the beach, being in the sun, surprises - both giving them and receiving them, thoughtfulness, being appreciated, old skool music - all genres, old skool Jungle, Halloween, my birthday, reunions, the positive response I get when I am djing and people enjoying my set, positive responses from my weather reports, being given chocolates (yes, I am a chocolate monster), organising parties, my Bodybalance classes, Jazz music - particularly live with the Sax, being on camera, kittens and cats, fish and sealife, my Blue Russian cat Clio, getting glammed up in one of my sequin numbers and feeling fantastic, when people recognise my efforts and believe in me."

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Impulseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; by Lee Cassells has a great, strong energy. This is fist-pumping, jump up, dance all night excitement. There is also a subtle and beautiful call of an angel as well as so much interesting texture. Bablak's remix is chilled out with a lovely minimal style. While some choose to navigate life with a well laid out plan of action, it is through our natural instinct to operate on impulse that adjusts our path, opening us up to new experiences that will forever alter destiny as we know it. When an impulse is met with reaction, like a lightning bolt through the soul there is no chance of stopping its thunderous effect. Forthcoming July 6, 2018, on OHM Music, Lee Cassells implores all of the creatures of the night to succumb to the divine nature of our rhythmic 'Impulse', motivating a vivid expulsion of energy on the dance floor! Taking the concept of impulse and morphing it into a brilliant picture of sound, Lee Cassells bonds industrial tech-centric auditory flavors with an inspirational progressive flow that implores the body, mind, and soul, to follow the dark rhythms billowing call. It is in this moment that we let go of our primitive need to control our surroundings, allowing our animalistic impulse to take over our psyche, leading us to the precipice of a mind-warping leap into the great unknown. With all caution thrown to the wind, we dive in, set free from the bondage of planned experience. Suddenly, we are met with the pulled back melodic accents of Bablak who consummates our impulsive journey as he scoops us up from the depths of Lee Cassells dark dimension, delivering us to new heights far beyond the shadow-soaked horizon. Enveloped in a full state of spiritual enlightenment born out of pure and unadulterated spontaneity, Bablak's remix shows us that even the most overwhelming of influences can make way for a beautiful release under the electric atmosphere! www.thisisohmmusic.com 30

The ‘Hear Me’ EP by Rae Stewart tells of the emotions, trials and tribulations in love. Her voice has a versatile range of raw tones, smooth sweetness and snappy flows. So, can you feel my groove? ‘Be Down’ is a highlight with a gorgeous tone of the vocals against a chilled production, the hook is catchy and the rhythm has you swaying. ‘Fake Love’ brings despair in the pained voice together with a gentle piano and twinkles which offset the sombre mood. Your energy is dirty. ‘Dangerous’ has an incredible main section showing passion and a fiery spirit, the verses are very rough and dark. Indecisive, if I really want you. ‘Intwine’ has a lovely harmony with soft vocals and a light melody. Overall, this is a really interesting EP where her confidence and strength rises throughout each test of the heart. Mancunian singer-songwriter Rae Stewart has released her EP ‘Hear Me’, featuring artfully mixed soulful vocals with 90’s R&B and hip hop beats. The EP presents Rae’s versatility as an artist and showcases her unique Destiny’s Child meets Missy Elliot sound. In Rae’s own words, the release is, “a big accomplishment for me, as I share some personal feelings of what I've been through in life, realness only! I hope you love it as much as I do.” ‘Hear Me’ follows a history of success for Rae. Her single ‘Be Down’ landed a place in the top 30 on Music Week’s Pop/Commercial Chart and ‘Fake Love’ earned the title of DJ Targets Unsigned Artist Song of The Week on his Tuesday evening show. Rae is a unique artist whose talents have begun to blossom throughout the past months, with the added support of her creative team at Northside Media and also the talents of producer’s Triple B and Manze. Rae Stewart’s music story began at the young age of three when she first started singing. By the age of 18 she had already sang and performed with a group called Venus alongside two other girls from Manchester. In that time she had also competed on the TV programme, Asbo Teens to Beauty Queens. It was always clear that music was going to be a big part of her life. Rae kicked off the ‘Hear Me’ EP release with a private listening party in her home town of Manchester. She is booked to perform on an all-female line up for a charity in Camden on 25th of May. More shows are planned for the summer, keep checking her social media for the latest updates. www.raestewartofficial.com 33

‘Want U Back’ by Husky ft Letta is a nice and light summer release. The house production has a chilled atmosphere with a slight old school groove. The vocals follow a simple pattern yet are effective and loving. The Scott Diaz remix has a darker club style. Husky returns with a club ready deep house cut featuring the vocals of US based vocalist, Letta. Jacked up beats, deep chords and pulsing bass are in thick supply here, as Husky combines his usual soulful elements with a slightly grittier groove. It’s ripe and ready. On the remix we have the UK born but globally known house producer, Scott Diaz. Fresh from recently remixing records for Defected, Peppermint Jam, Lovejuice Records and Blockhead Recordings, Scott always brings a fresh and unique flavor to a remix. Taking the original melodies and adding his own vocal cuts he has morphed this remix into a funky but soulful rendition, lathered in his usual bouncing bass and dreamy chord progressions. Offering up glimpses of his garage roots also, this really is a class remix that will stand up for the ages. www.facebook.com/BobbinHeadMusic 34

‘Still’ by Louise Golbey is an endearing, contemporary love song. The subdued tone together with her sweet and emotive voice pulls at the heart strings. I can feel my heart race. The sadness of the verses contrast against the main sections which portray hope. I believe in you and I. There is a lovely flair to her voice throughout the track with smooth dragging out of ends notes to gorgeous high tones. The production is subtle yet elegant and compliments the vocal. Following the release of the Deluxe Edition of her ‘Love It Or Leave It’ EP – Louise’s new single ‘Still’ is a powerful soulful pop ballad co-written with and produced by Ross O’Reilly (Stealth, Suits). It was included in The Official Charts New Music Friday list for the release day. www.louisegolbey.com

The ‘Elements’ EP by Holbrook & Skykeeper is energising. The vibrant dance feeling of the title track gives a huge lively dose to the system. ’Till It’s Dawn’ takes a darker, edgier route propelling you into a stronger, hard-headed spirit. Two of Interstate's finest exports are back with their brand new E.P. Holbrook & SkyKeeper make their much awaited return and deliver a double header in the form of their fiery 'Elements E.P'. Opening their E.P with 'Elements', the track instantly emanates that unmistakable Holbrook & SkyKeeper sound. From the tech infused groove, raucous stabs and lush euphoric pads, it's another fine execution from these guys. Next up and continuing with that killer tech vibe, 'Till It's Dawn' offers up yet more groove fuelled energy from this dynamic duo. Packing a punch from the off thanks to its infectious groove and heads down affair, the track eases you into its break which is packed with a moody melody and plenty of energy. Two more unmissable gems from Holbrook & SkyKeeper! www.facebook.com/holbrookskykeeper 39

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; by Spynex & Lenn-Art is a delightful song about love and finding clarity. What was I thinking babe?

Overall, it holds a great, warm summer vibe. Spynex is bringing his brand-new single together with Lenn-Art called 'Home'.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Genesisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; by Paul Sawyer maintains a fairly steady pace and repetitive melody yet is very distinct and ingrains itself into your mind. The slight changes in atmosphere and little, precisely placed textural components add interest to the piece. From the man behind Krafted Records we have a shaker-led sparse, tranquil & hypnotic helping of forward thinking envelope tweaking progressive house. www.paulsawyermusic.com

A firm, unyielding rhythm grips you with its steely edge. The dark intensity of 'PDL' by Insane House spirals deep into your subconscious, throbbing through your veins, pulling you under. Hypnotic. www.awjrecordings.com

The ‘Thank You’ collection by Asle is a bright, uplifting release. The Club Edit has a relaxed, lounge style for those pool parties. The Asle Disco Bias Mix brings a funky, disco feel which is really fun and flavourful. The Black Legend Project Remix gets a little dark and dirty on the bass yet also contrasts with the soulful blend. ’Thank You’ takes you to the middle of a glittery dance floor, to a happy place, to a day or night you’ll never forget! Asle is practically Danish house music royalty. The producer & DJ has revisited one of his favs, going back to his roots with spectacular results. On ‘Thank You’ he manages to skillfully fuse house and a killer disco sample to create a hybrid track full of uplifting energy, with an effortless flow set to soundtrack your summer and beyond! “’Thank You’ came out of me having George Duke as a mega hero of mine. I got to see him live before he died – and the positive energy he brought to the stage and to his music is a huge inspiration to me.” Asle The Black Legend Project (Defected) also get involved on the remix duties, adding that Italian ‘predisposizione’ with a deeper, more techy interpretation to perfectly suit the late night crowd. Over the years Asle has had a string of stand out releases for some of the biggest and coolest house labels around including Size, Cr2, Off Recordings, Phoenix, King Street, Toolroom, Whoop! and Yoshitoshi. He has a reputation as a world-class producer, songwriter, engineer, mastering engineer and remixer still at the top of his game. ‘Thank You’ is just part of a host of exciting new material dropping over the summer. www.asle.net 43

The ‘Say To Me’ EP by T & Sugah x NCT holds huge energy with a fun dance / dnb style.

‘Moments’ by Alexis Ffrench is a delicate narration of life’s journey. The beautiful, playful melodies portray the light, whilst this contrasts against the darkness which is told through a passionate yet somewhat deeply sad undertone. UK contemporary pianist and composer Alexis Ffrench has marked his return with the exceptional new single ‘Moments’, taken from his brand new studio album Evolution - out in September via Sony Music. This big announcement comes ahead of his scheduled performance at this year’s Classic BRIT Awards on June 13th at The Royal Albert Hall, where Alexis will be accompanied by fellow Sony Classical opera singer Pretty Yende, both backed by the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra, showcasing Alexis to the masses. A stunning new album that sees Alexis propel himself to yet further heights, Evolution features a host of guests, from international classical harpist Lavinia Meijer and Boston-based electro folk duo Tall Heights; to The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Adam Klemans. Speaking of the themes and meaning behind the new album, Alexis Ffrench says; “Evolution’ is inspired by the extremes and inherent fragility of the human experience - loss, love, birth, sorrow, vulnerability, triumph and despair but, above all, our ability to come through adversity and radiate the best versions of ourselves. This album explores the beauty that lies beneath and the truths that bind us.” And of the beautiful new track ‘Moments’, Ffrench notes: “Moments is a piece that was conceived out of hundreds of tiny fragments that I would hum, record and collate on my phone. The melodies kept coming back to me, and as I assembled the many fragments like a jigsaw puzzle, and expanded on themes at the piano I found I had composed a dark, French-Nuovo piece that I had really fallen in love with.” With over 75 million streams to date and now over a million active Spotify listeners a month, Alexis Ffrench is already an established star in the streaming world, leading the way for the new generation of classical artists, with his music speaking to a very wide and diverse audience and transcending all boundaries and genres. With a brand new album in the works and an exciting partnership with Modest! Management, home to artists including Little Mix, Olly Murs and more, 2018 already looks very exciting for this exceptional musician. www.alexisffrenchmusic.com 46

‘Journeys Inapt’ by RDubz is an eclectic blend of oriental influences, tough moods and electronic playfulness which is described to be of a cyberpunk genre. The RDubz Back In Time Mix of ‘Place And Time’ by Colourfelt is a highlight with sweet, enchanting strings and a chilled, flowing beat. ‘Tick Tock’ brings a rough and gritty feel with a huge dark bass and clangs of metal. ‘Life In Europa’ has a refreshing and pleasing warm glow in the atmosphere. ‘Wallow’ is very bright and vivid, almost opulent with the grand piano and sparkling moments, beautiful oriental touches follow with an airy essence too - a centrepiece of a track. www.soundcloud.com/rdubzuk

‘Vybe’ by Blasta & Steps is a filthy, hyped up, bass-pumping track. The lively beat with punchy vocals get you in the raving mood. If you love old school. The ragga flavour and 90s vibe blend well together. The DJ Dappa remix is a surprising twist to the tone adding sophistication of the piano with a siesta feel of the Spanish strings. Downplay is proud to present the new single from Russian producer Blasta. ‘Vybe’ is pure summertime fun with an incredible lyrical turn from Steps AKA Steppa Style, delivering a pitch perfect salvo of MC nostalgia wrapped up in modern production savvy. The beat switches between 2step speaker-shaker to 4x4 chest-rattler with ease, running through a whole trick bag of FX and percussive cuts that is 100% sunshine. Rinse FM’s DJ Dappa delivers an outstanding remix on the digital flip, increasing the summer vibes with a take that includes sweet string samples and orchaestral stabs to devastating effect. No dancefloor is going to be safe from this one! www.facebook.com/DownplayRecordings 49

‘Where Do You Go?’ By Mark Hill has an ultra cool and smooth vibe. The voice has a velvety depth with a turn of strength in the forthright, no-nonsense attitude. There is a gorgeous sweetness in the pretty touches of the production together with a light bumpy beat. www.facebook.com/ MarkHillTracks

‘Mojito’ by Megaphonic ft Devaune is a bright and fun summer track. The vibrant, feel good warmth of the production is perfect for those beach parties, having fun and possibly finding a little romance. You’ve got my heart beat dancing a calypso. The vocals are sweet and charming, the visions comes to mind of being taken by the hand, sparkly- eyed, and spun around on the dance floor. www.facebook.com/ megaphonicuk 50

‘Say I Do’ by DJ Mensah ft Sarkodie has a great, fresh vibe. The upfront lyrical flow in both English and Ghanaian gives a very confident proposal to the lucky lady. That’s my baby right there. The snappy lyrics are contagious with you most likely to be chanting along to those three memorable title words. She be my happiness, she be my nightmare. The cool tone of the slick production pave the way nicely with a little rumble of bass. The Winner of Best Ghana DJ at the 2017 Ghana Entertainment Awards USA teams up with the #1 African rapper, the exceptionally talented Sarkodie for new release ‘Say I Do’, bringing together a catchy azonto provoking beat and mixing it with the passions of love. www.djmensahonline.com

The ‘Keep Me Warm’ EP by Maya Jane Coles is deliciously dark and mysterious. The unique and eerie voice is stunning. The moody atmosphere, varying rhythm and lovely flairs of high notes on the production are modestly yet beautifully crafted. ‘Go On And Make It Through’ has more vibrancy though is still stained with spinetingling vocal cut. ABSOLUTE’s 1AM Remix plays on the darkness with a deep rumble of bass whilst the 5AM remix is big and thrilling. Maya Jane Coles delivers a new EP of dark and atmospheric remixes taken from her sophomore double length album 'Take Flight'. Teaming up with Brighton based duo GAPS on title track 'Keep Me Warm', Maya interlaces poignant and hypnotics vocals with her characteristic and compelling production. On the remix front fellow Londoner ABSOLUTE serves two energetic rave infused cuts and while his “1am Remix” of Keep Me Warm will be available exclusively through Beatport both remixes are sure to add to the mass of tastemaker support he has received over the last 12 months. The American songwriter Wendy Rae Fowler who has previously completed high profile vocal col-laborations with Queens of the Stone Age and most recently with UNKLE‘s Richard File We Fell to Earth project lends her dusty and melancholy vocals alongside visceral guitar chords on the mas-terpiece 'A Chemical Affair.; a melancholy track arguably motivated by the shadows of Insomnia that stood out amongst critics upon the release of Maya’s album last year. Also on the release, 'Go on And Make It Through' leans towards Maya’s club focus; providing as-sertive 4/4 beats that are sure to make it into her summer sets which includes several appearanc-es at ANTS Ibiza, Pacha and Junction 2 Festival London. ‘‘Take Flight’ which features the original versions of Keep Me Warm, My Chemical Affair and Go On & Make It Through is available on Double CD / Heavy Weight 3 x Vinyl Box Set / USB / Digital plus a limited Deluxe Hardback Book CD format and also be exclusively available via Maya’s artist store. www.mayajanecoles.com 52
