International phenomenon hit claims the #1 spot on Soundcloud as well as the U.K. and U.S.

11 million streams on Soundcloud alone and surpassing 80,000 creations on TikTok

From Emily Ratajkowski to Ellie Goulding, and Zara Larsson to Tana Mongeau, it is the sound that has filled countless transitions, GRWMs, reveals and tap-ins - Prada by cassö x RAYE x D Block Europe is out now! Sweeping countless festival and party playlists across the globe, this anthemic hit quickly worked its way to the #1 spot on the global Soundcloud charts as well as the U.K. and U.S.

cassö’s debut release, Prada was initially created for house parties he would play at. The twenty-year-old had been only producing for eight months, and he hadn't gigged outside of the living rooms of countless Swansea uni Halls - Prada propelled cassö to new and uncharted heights. Originally spun off “Ferrari Horses” by MOBO Award-Winning D-Block Europe featuring Brits Billion Award recipient RAYE, Prada was cut on the uni laptop of cassö earlier this year.

Obsessed with the wandering and alluring vocal of RAYE, cassö says “Listening to Ferrari horses in my playlist RAYE’s vocals just stood out to me, I knew that would be perfect for a trance-type drop. I made a euphoric pluck and a somewhat aggressive bassline to power the vocals. At the drop I wanted the song to ‘explode’ with the lyrics by making a flared change to the bassline pattern”.

After uploading the track on Soundcloud, Prada rocketed across the globe and attributed to waves of trends across TikTok and Instagram alike. Prada has garnered over 11 million streams on Soundcloud and surpassed 80,000 creations in the last four months alone! A whirlwind of a story thus far, it’s no mean feat to bag two global artists on a debut track for a uni student.

After the unprecedented global success of his debut single "Fire Stone" - a plate that was streamed since its publication in December 2014, 100 million times on Spotify and climbed to # 4 of the global Spotify charts and even on the # 1 at Spotify in Germany -  the Norwegian superstar KYGO announces now its much-anticipated follow-up single "Stole the Show".

After "Firestone" and a host of incredibly successful official remixes for the likes of Ed Sheeran, Rihanna, Coldplay, Kyla La Grange, Marvin Gaye and many others "Stole the Show", the second own single young Scandinavian wunderkind and confident with KYGOs hot coveted signature sound and stunning vocal melody of the emerging singer James Parson.

With the exclusive worldwide release on Spotify March 16 - March 23, followed by all other digital providers - appears "Stole the Show" perfect for this year's Miami Music Week, during which KYGO both the hip Red Bull Guest House and the Live legendary stage of the Ultra Music Festival will headline on Sunday 29 March.

At Ultra Music Festival KYGO is also present for the first time with his new live show before showing it to some of the hottest festivals in North America as Coachella and Counterpoint. A tempting taste of what will happen after March 29, everything's in the official teaser video.



Dimitri Kechagias review: KYGO is definitely the next big thing in deep house / electronic house sound that seems to attack the charts at the moment. His new track Stole The Show featuring the stunning vocals by Parson James is a wonderful melodic dream house track with great piano chords, deep haunting basslines, magnificent flute riffs and superb live instrumentation that add to electronic music a great live like feeling. Clean, crispy and magical track that is based around the very strong vocal that shines with the mouthwatering Parson James detailed hair raising folk and blues style performance. Its destined to become top 10 UK single and I can even imagine it reaching the number 1 position as well. #PureGold Love It

"Make Me Feel Better" is the debut single from the 21-year-old British producer Alex Adair. Presented by Annie Mac, Zane Lowe and MistaJam on Radio 1 Xtra and 1 in the UK, has "Make Me Feel Better" collected over 3 million plays to date online and allows him to do remixes for artists such as Jessie Ware, Ed Sheeran and Ella Eyre.

Alex's music moves between Tropical House and Electro relaxed and with the support of leading YouTube channels like The Sound You Need Adair has been compared to the likes of Kygo, Caribou and Ryan Hemsworth. For GSA is under contract with the very successful label B1 recordings. "Make Me Feel Better" is soulful electro sound that wraps around looped vocals.

Adair produced "Make Me Feel Better" originally as part of its "Creative Music Technology" module at Canterbury University, where he had to submit music that represented various epochs (the track its contribution for the category was modern music). Curiously, rejected from the University for a publication - so he put the track on Soundcloud and from that moment exploded enthusiasm. Meanwhile exempt from full-time study, Adair currently living in the countryside in West Sussex, holed up in his studio cave, making music and experimenting with sound design.

The seclusion and the background of a classical education meet Adair's productions with beguiling musicality. Although his music is at home on dancefloors, he makes his records not for the clubs, and as for the limited number of remixes that he accepts, he always produces a first mixed signal before it appeals to a project final. "Make Me Feel Better" is getting ready to bring him in the spring of 2015, a veritable hit, will be followed by their own releases and later in the year (probably) also remixes for other artists.

Remixes for "Make Me Feel Better" come from Klingande, Russ Chimes and Don Diablo & CID.







Dimitri Kechagias review: It's time for another huge mainstream success that electronic music community should be proud  out. The awesome up and coming artist Alex Adair presents his magnificent Make Me Feel Better. The original mix is superb relaxing summery holiday style house with wonderful piano melodies, chunky grooves and fantastic xylophone melodies, piano chords along with cool vocal sample that simply makes you feel better.  Klingkande remix is a driving deep house version with electronic melodies, extensive country influenced guitar riffs and groovy soulful elements while the piano melody and the vocal keep reminding us that summer is not so faraway. So let the inhibitions go and start dancing along with your cat if you don't have a loved one. The unstoppable Don Diablo & CID deliver the fantastic future house version perfect for mainstage house sets. Old school 90's influences, UK Garage house touches passed through the Dutch hit filter and the result is a thunderous version. #PureGold Love It

The 23-year-old Dutch producer Bakermat who has just finished his tour in the UK and fresh out of the highly acclaimed "Bakermat & Friends" stage in Tomorrowland, preparing the release of his highly anticipated soulful retro house tracks "Teach Me" , After the success of the original releases of "One Day (Vandaag)" inclusive sample of Martin Luther King, the new single was released on November 24 on Beatport via Dirty Soul / Be Yourself Music. The world premiere  took place on BBC Radio 1 with support from Pete Tong.

Bakermat is one of the biggest rising stars of last year. With his new sound, he took the hearts of a wide audience by storm. His breakthrough was a production called "Vandaag", which now has over 22 million views on YouTube and has laid the foundation for its popularity - today he is widely known for his instrumental deep house sound and the first DJ who on stage working with live musicians. Bakermat sold shows at the O2 Brixton Academy in London and the prestigious L'Olympia in Paris - whose unique sound conjures people of all ages a wide smile.

In recent months Bakermat published a series of tracks like "Vandaag", "Intro", "Leven". The audience fell head over heels for his release, which earned him support from DJs like Klangkarussell, fickleness, Klingande, Tube & Berger, Kygo and many more!

Hardly back from a successful summer tour, has already Bakermat new music in the hindquarters. One should also keep their eyes open after the upcoming US Tour: In March 2015 Bakermat goes on his first tour in the States and is accompanied by a full band!



Dimitri Kechagias review: Bakermat is definitely one of the strongest representatives of the new melodic deep house sound that seems to be all over the place from clubs to radio stations and charts too. The newest anthem that is expected to enter the UK Top 40 in a very high position is called Teach me and samples a wonderful gospel vocal that is soulful and really inspirational. The track itself continues on his well known melodic deep eclectic house sound with summery sunkissed synths along with relaxing grooves, chunky basslines, cinematic strings and beautiful atmosphere. Hypnotic and infectious will stay in your head from the first time that will happen to experience it. Now on board comes the USA based superstar MK. His remix adds his well known style that is more raw, aggressive in places and perfect for future house dancefloors. Excellent application of the emotional soulful vocal while his lazy pulsating basslines and the housey sexy groove works like a treat along with the nice warm piano chords and sunny synths. You can easily say that you have in your hands one of the biggest tracks at the Miami Winter Music Conference. #PureGold Love It

Ayla was born in Australia. She is 18 years old and naturally talented. "Wish I Was" is her debut single. Her arrival in Europe starts with the encounter with some of the most important names of the club panorama. Wish I Was vocals are the matter to shape and transform.

There is Tapesh, the producer and resident at Ushuaïa, Ibiza, the one who joined the Ants’ colony. His style is unique: among the fans of the "Tapesh feeling" here are already Loco Dice, Jamie Jones, DJ T and Anja Schneider. 

Spada is the Italian who is driving everyone crazy, from Above & Beyond to The Magician. His "Feels Like Home" is on every DJ's mouth and is moving charts all over the world. And it goes together with a remix by Bakermat. 

 Zwette, aka the rising star of deep and melodic house: does it ring a bell if we say Tom Odell "Another Love" -> over 46 million views? Julius Abel is the super young Austrian producer (born in 1995!) who is getting the more and more famous in deep house panorama (go and look for his remix of Ornette, "Crazy"). We close the package with Heinrich Matis, a promising German producer based in Vienna.

"Wish I Was" is a step ahead release. And it's pure class.







Dimitri Kechagias review: B1 recordings is one of the hottest indepent dance labels in Germany with many huge electronic music tracks that became huge mainstream anthems. Now is part of Sony Music Germany and the next track that seems to capture the world's attention is by Ayla from Australia and her classy Wish I Was that comes in a massive package of fantastic eclectic deep house remixes that you simply don't want to miss. First of all Swette remix is a hypnotic deep house affair with chunky groove, deep pumping beats, rhythm n blues guitar riffs, emotional cinematic strings and warm atmosphere that wins your attention straight away. Ayla high class voice sounds retro and vintage recalling singers from the past with elegance, personality and amazing depth. Tapesh remix moves on the same deep house direction with certain Ibiza atmosphere to it. Deep basslines, rolling drums, electronic melodies, mesmerising synths, UK garage influences and old school organ riffs that enhance the magic of those stand out vocals. Spada from Italy delivers his well known style that is melancholic and moody with sad piano chords, deep haunting basslines, chunky grooves and cinematic strings. It's the kind of track that makes you wanna escape and travel to faraway worlds for some minutes away from the harsh realities. Last but not least Heinrich Mattis delivers a very imaginative creative playful  remix that moves on the same deep moody spacey eclectic direction with sharper deep basslines, old school Ibiza style melodic riffs and use  some of the vocals. #PureGold Love it

"Pushing On" just takes tremendous momentum: With some weeks at # 1 on Beatport and solid support on BBC Radio 1 from hosts such as Pete Tong, Annie Mac, MistaJam, B Traits and Nick Grimshaw, as well as a strong Top-20 appearance the pre-release on Shazam UK, represent one of the most promising house records of the year and all signs point to hit. 

With the super casual track that begins with percussive medley and inspired by Frankie Knuckles bassline, and slowly increases in a striking tribute to classic Chicago House, the Berlin House Wizard Oliver $ and multi-instrumentalist Jimi Jules from Switzerland reenter together the ring . 

After the success of their "Earl EP 'and remixes for example for freaks or Jessie Ware's new single" Tough Love ", the two tinker with" Pushing On "more determined to its reputation as one of the hottest dance duos in the scene. 

The calendar of Oliver $, who is traveling from the USA to Ibiza to Ministry of Sound in London, and Jimi Jules, traded by insiders as a "fusion of Miles Davis and Herbie Hancock," allowing the two fortunately also regular appearances in Berlin's Watergate. 

"Pushing On" appears on the TBA to B1 Recordings.



Dimitri Kechagias review: One of the largest deep house anthems of the year is of course the magnificent Pushing On by Oliver $ & Jimi Jules. Pure Joy for the ears is back 2 basics house as it used to be without influences from other sources. With magnificent bouncy groove, tribal percussion, deep funky sexy  basslines, piano melody that sticks in your head for ever and fantastic soulful diva house style vocal that you will sing a long after hearing it once. Hypnotic, relaxing, stylish and underground at the same time is one of those gems that should not be missed by all means. If you search for the ultimate summer hit, you just found it! The package includes the dub mix for those who would like to focus on the great groove and irresistible rhythm and of course apply  their own acapella on top and come up with their own cheeky bootlegs.  Tchami remix is fantastic and once again the upcoming French talent proves that he definitely one to watch. His version is upfront with darker industrial basslines and techy chunky groove along with UK garage house influences and electronic elements as well. Brand new melodies introduced and the happiness will be on the crowd faces without doubts. Totally different approach with futuristic house tendencies that has its deep roots in the early 90's scene that seems to revive as the new generation of house producers and fans discover maybe with a touch of romanticism that golden age. UK Top 40 number 1! #PureGold Love iT
