RELEASES

HUMAN MOVEMENT – “Dancing Room” EP (Out Now, BEHM Records)

Having begun just over a year ago, what started as a passion project for two teenaged friends, evolved into the signing of a release with German taste-making label Exposure Music, airtime on Australia’s prolific Triple J radio, and a fan-demanded tour across their home country. After closing the year after touring alongside Wild Culture and Rabbits Eat Lettuce, receiving a nomination as Stoney Roads’ “Breakthrough Act Of The Year,” and landing a headlining slot of Australia’s Strawberry Fields Festival, the boys will be released their “Dancing Room” EP on their very own label BEHM. Despite this being the first release on the newly founded label, BEHM has already received backing from Sony Music in Australasia, and in the US, from viral sensation Dr. Fresch’s Prep School Records.

PRAYERS – Young Gods LP (Out Now, LaSalle Records)

Pioneering goth/electronic/industrial duo Prayers from San Diego formed in 2013 with vocalist Leafar Seyer and producer Dave Parley. Both Mexican immigrants, the two have transformed the sound and look of modern gothic music.  They have created a genre known as SD Kill Wave aka Cholo Goth, which fuses the sounds of new wave with Southern California gang lifestyle.  Prayers pulls from the darkest dance and goth elements to bring their stories of pride and struggle to life. Prayers’ new LP Young Gods is out via Travis Barker’s LaSalle Records, and was produced entirely by Barker himself.

The entire Young Gods LP can be streamed HERE

SHIFT K3Y – “Gone Missing” feat. BB DIAMOND (Out Now, Ultra Records)

Earlier this month, producer, singer, DJ, and instrumentalist Shift K3Y returned with his brand new release “Gone Missing,” a UK garage heater that showcases the artist’s thriving talent and remarkable ability to stretch his versatility across a range of genres. “Gone Missing” also marks a buzzworthy team up with songstress BB Diamond, a performer who has spent the last year on tour as a backing vocalist for Jess Glynne, Katy B, and Ella Henderson, and who is also being developed under Turn First Management alongside Rita Ora and Ellie Goulding.

Thanks to The Him and Gregor Salto on Part 1 of the “Gone Missing” remix pack, we’ve heard what the sculptable track can do under the construction of Salto’s two-step club anthem stylings, and The Him’s creative euro-house touch. Shift K3Y isn’t quite done yet. Additionally, he has invited buzz worthy producers Kyle Watson and Taiki Nulight to freshen up his single. Kyle Watson brings his South African inspired rhythms to the cut, adding in a fresh dose of his roving deep house melodies for a truly unique interpretation. Up next, fresh recruit Taiki Nulight revitalizes the track with dubby bass music that will find an ideal home on the underground circuit.

SUPER8 & TAB – “Komorebi” (Out Now, Armind)

Following ten years of noteworthy releases on the highly esteemed Anjunabeats imprint, Finnish DJ duo Super8 & Tab are embarking on a new chapter of their highlight-filled career. Catching the ear of none other than dance music’s superstar figurehead Armin van Buuren, Super8 & Tab now find themselves aligned with Armada Music’s Armind imprint for their latest venture. For their grand debut with Armind, Super8 & Tab are upping the momentum with first single titled “Komorebi.” Super8 fans are in for a treat as the guys launch into a melodic trance anthem jam packed with a crunchy adrenaline-laced build up, a lush piano led breakdown, and finally, a synth-heavy drop where the hypnotic melody will leave listeners on a sonic cloud nine. If you’re a listener of van Buuren’s A State Of Trance radio show, you may already be familiar with the single due to its premiere on last week’s episode. If “Komorebi” has sparked your Super8 fever, make sure to stay tuned for a must-hear remix package coming soon!
