You’ve got to hand it to her … when it comes to putting together meaningful, impactful collaborations, Christina Novelli has all the right instincts. With her latest, ‘Beautiful Lies’, she’s teamed up with Bo Bruce, and it’s hard to imagine another singer with whom she shares more common ground.

Christina and Bo grew up somewhat in the UK spotlight and in 2012 enjoyed near overnight success, Bruce as the season 1 finalist on The Voice and Novelli, of course with the unforgettable, ‘Concrete Angel’. Now, together, they’ve pooled that affinity to spin some ‘Beautiful Lies’.

If you were expecting something lighter-weight than Christina’s last release (the emotionally slaying ‘Leaving Me’ with ‘Monster’-singer, Sarah de Warren), best guess again! Their song mulls a love-on-life-support, where half-truths have indeed tipped over into ‘Beautiful Lies’.

“You say you want the truth, but the truth hurts”, sings, Christina, while Bo counters “you’ve been burning me”, “I’ve been burning you” but “I keep on coming back, ‘cause it’s all I know”. A testament to their lyric-writing abilities, the duo manages to seed a first-listen catchiness into ‘Beautiful’s intricately involved song. Propelled floor-ward, by its pulsing bass and sky-kissing synths, ‘Beautiful Lies’ arrives today through all good sales and streaming channels HERE.

[item value="10"]Christina Novelli & Bo Bruce - Beautiful Lies[/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]When two of the most adorable female singers collaborate we all know that something special will be delivered. Christina Novelli & Bo Bruce unite their incredible voices for the stunning Beautiful Lies. The track is a massive duet that incorporates amazingly strong lyrics performed in the most heartfelt and soul capturing way while the foundation is the 90's nostalgic beats and driving basslines used recently by artists such as Calvin Harris in the most effective. Very simple and infectious melodies decorating the immersive pumping sounds and the sugar coating vocals. The result is an instantly catchy record with big pop dance radio playlist potential. Superb idea to have the duets on Christina's tracks that sounds super fresh and women power idea. #PureGold Love IT[/content]

Yolanda Be Cool, aka Bondi boys Andy and Matt, make their way to Black Book Records with “Segunda” - an irresistible, rhythm-infused track of Baile funk featuring Jonjon from the legendary Furacão 2000. With the worldwide #1 “We No Speak Americano” under their belt, the Aussie duo is no stranger to the heat of the dance floor. Recent releases include “Baseline Happiness” on Repopulate Mars, “Unity” on Melé’s Club Bad (600K+ streams), and “Work Your Body” (1.7M+ streams) home to their very own imprint Sweat It Out! Slated for July, an appearance at Club Space: Black Book Records, and sealed with a sign-off from Chris, this latest record invites you to join them on the dance floor.

"First off, I love these guys. Secondly I LOOOOOOOVE this record. It was instant for me. I think I was on the phone to sign it before I’d got half way through listening to the track. Enjoy" - Chris Lake

"We played with Chris at the Black Book party in Seattle last summer and we loved the diversity of his set so much and went away inspired to make a song for his sets that would also be true to our sound. We've loved Baile funk vibes forever so being able to get Jonjon from the legendary Furacão 2000 onto the track, and then have Chris give it the big thumbs up, was a dream come true." - Yolanda Be Cool

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Yolanda Be Cool with fantastic discography of club and chart topping hits worldwide return with the instant 130 BPM banger Segunda (feat.

This is super powerful energetic track with big pounding drums, energetic kicks, punchy basslines, infectious grooves and stunning vocals that work so well that will be ultra hard not to get infected from this awesome sound. If you like big mainstage festival anthems that will bring happiness and can make crowds go ballistic so you should press play but we can not guarantee what will happen next! Next global smash for sure! #PureGold Love IT[/content]

Bringing summer to a close with a final scorcher of the season, award-winning producer Chris Lake teams up with iconic house pioneer Green Velvet on “Deceiver.” The latest release off Lake’s inaugural label, Black Book Records, “Deceiver” is a dark, house-infused blend of the duo’s signature sounds. Featuring deep, pulsating bass lines bouncing alongside jutting, jagged synths, “Deceiver” is a sharp and seductive single that will keep audiences moving.

Across Chris Lake's ongoing list of accomplishments, one will find countless Billboard chart-toppers, a platinum record, a Grammy nomination, and a Midas touch for tapping into rising talent. Realizing his vision and turning his attention towards the development of his premier record label, Chris launched Black Book Records in 2017. Best known for his funk-infused club smashes, Chris' debut release “Operator” on Black Book slated itself as the go-to dance floor anthem at the top of the year, gaining support from Claude VonStroke, Disclosure, Green Velvet, Duke Dumont and more. Closing out the main stage at EDC Las Vegas this past spring, Chris Lake announced his latest project Anti Up with Chris Lorenzo, debuting their first performance to the festival's sold-out crowd and releasing the single "Pizza" under the moniker this summer. Following a bevy of collaborative singles with Walker & Royce, DESTRUCTO and more, in addition to noted festival performances at Lollapalooza, Splash House, Bonnaroo, Electric Forest and All My Friends Festival, Chris is currently on the road for his multi-date North American run on The Black Book Experience Tour.

A music industry legend and trailblazer in the House and Techno space, Chicago-born Green Velvet has built his status as one of electronic music’s most respected names throughout his 25 year career span. Releasing a string of notable singles including “Bigger Than Prince,” “Flash,” “La La Land,” “Shake and Pop,” and “Lazer Beams,” even today it is difficult to step foot on any festival grounds without hearing the producer’s signature sound. With a resume boasting countless record releases and collaborations with Carl Craig, Detlef, Eats Everything, Patrick Topping, Riva Starr, Shiba San and more, Green Velvet also serves as one half of acclaimed duo GET REAL alongside Dirtybird Records founder Claude VonStroke. Earning DJ Mag’s #1 DJ in North America slot in 2017, this year Green Velvet only continued to break records, with his imprint Relief Records gaining the #1 Label position on the Beatport Top 100, and his LA LA LAND Stage series launching worldwide.

 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Chris Lake & Green Velvet work together for Deceiver. If you like your house dark and techy then you will enjoy the stomping bassline, the raw grooves and metallic drums, distorted synthy lines and very clever short spoken vocal sample that will remain in your head for days after you will dance along with it in your local disco! It is dark and underground but with that special touch to make it the surprising techno tune that maybe will crossover to mainstream audiences. Classy production that adds credibility and musicality to any DJ set. #PureGold Love IT[/content]
