Pop music pioneer Charli XCX has unveiled her new single “1999” feat. Troye Sivan, marking the pop collaboration of the year! Charli’s single news follows a defining year for the future pop mastermind after a string of celebrated summer releases, and Sivan, who is fresh off the release of his sophomore album, Bloom, which was awarded four stars by Rolling Stone and has already racked up more than 700 million cumulative streams.

A bass-laced juggernaut beaming with nostalgia, “1999” binds Charli’s commercial intellect with her innovative instincts, feeling as infectious as it does rebellious. Heralded as one of the most exciting and forward-thinking ambassadors of pop at every turn, Charli penned “1999” with Sivan – who is also featured on vocals – and the single’s accompanying writers - Noonie Bao, Brett McLaughlin, and Oscar Holter, who also produced the track.

The release of “1999” follows a whirlwind year for Charli XCX. Continuing her stint on Taylor Swift’s global ‘Reputation Tour’ alongside Camila Cabello, the trailblazer released a flow of music over the summer months - “5 in the Morning”, “No Angel”, “Focus” and “Girls Night Out” – which, alongside her electrifying, critically-acclaimed sold out mixtape shows, were hotly received by her devoted fanbase and media alike, firmly confirming her status as one of the world’s most essential stars in pop’s rainbow spectrum. Most recently, in her true entrepreneurial spirit, XCX unveiled a radio documentary for BBC World Service. Shadowing her in the studio and at recent performances in London, journalist, Kate Mossman, explored Charli’s duality as both a songwriter and performer with exclusive behind-the-scenes access. This marked her second documentary for the BBC, succeeding her thought-provoking ‘The F Word and Me’ – a film focusing on gender equality in the music industry, released in 2015.

Charlotte Aitchison, aka Charli XCX, has fast become one of the hottest creators of her generation and is the award-winning talent behind the multi-platinum and global No.1’s “Fancy” and “I Love It” and UK Top 10 “Boom Clap”. In 2017, she bookended the year with her ground-breaking, critically-acclaimed mixtapes ‘Number 1 Angel’ and ‘Pop 2’, featured on David Guetta and Afrojack’s global smash “Dirty Sexy Money” and released her standout summer crush anthem “Boys”. On the latter, Charli took full creative control across casting, directing and producing the accompanying official video, which not only saw her flip the traditional male gaze on its head, but featured an all-star male cast including Stormzy, Mark Ronson, Diplo, Joe Jonas, Brendon Urie, Riz Ahmed + more, with Charli XCX hailed as a paragon of progressiveness off the back of its release. To date, the official video has received 93 million streams.

 [item value="10"]Charli XCX & Troye Sivan - 1999[/item]
 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Charli XCX and Troye Sivan collaborate for the cool nostalgic 1999 about youth and how carefree period was back then. The remixes are strongest that you could wish to get on your personal single. The French amazing man Michael Calfan adds his French disco house combined with upfront funky driving house grooves full vocal version with so much energy and feel good rhythm that you simply want to dress with your 1999 outfit and start dancing around as you imagine that you go back in your innocent childhood. So good indeed and instant banger. Alphalove continue to catapult the world with quality commercial remixes. On this one offer superb piano chords, uplifting groove, Ibiza style organ riffs and great rhythm and groove combining future house with even short trap style sequences. When you enjoy on the dancefloor this version is impossible not to jump around with a big wide smile. #PureGold Love IT [/content]

Not long after he started surfing, The Bearded Man found himself in an unusual spot. He was pretty tired of being called a haole on the north shore (even though it was true), and he was getting laughed out of every decent surf spot. Now of course, normal people should never, ever, EVER begin their surfing journey on the north shore of Hawaii, but The Bearded Man has never been one to play it safe. The summer season was almost over, and he knew that if he wanted to earn his spot amongst the in-crowd, he'd have to catch and ride the wave of all waves. One stormy afternoon, the seas were particularly fierce, with waves taller than most buildings. He finally convinced a cab driver to drive him onto one of the massive waves with a jet-ski (a couple hundos did the trick), risking both their lives in the process, and he attempted to catch the largest wave of the swell. He sling-shotted to the top of the wave, and for a brief, glorious second, he was on top of the world. Seconds later, however, he was nearly crushed by the same wave, breaking over 40 bones in his body. But he's a hearty fellow, and the next summer, he was right back out there again making a fool of himself. To this day, he has never, ever earned the respect of the locals.

With humble beginnings, meeting during a sound engineering course, Sav and Ben a.k.a French Electronic-Pop duo Basic Tape have come a long way. Bringing together their differing musical influences (Ben’s interests lying with progressive rock and Sav’s in Pop inspired Dance music) the pair have rapidly evolved their sound together, manifesting in the slick and catchy Electronic-Pop sound they represent today. Citing the likes of Daft Punk and Swedish House Mafia, this can only hint at the heights Basic Tape aim towards as a promising up-and-coming production duo; today they present new single ‘Melody’.

First gaining fame with their bootleg remixes of Lana Del Rey, Ellie Goulding and J-Lo, the pair have impressive remix accolades, producing official remixes for the likes of Niall Horan and Alesso. The track ‘Melody’ comes in the wake of previous singles ‘Cool’ Feat. Huntar and ‘No Matter’ which proved an instant hit, amassing over 17Million streams.

‘Melody’ is a classic uplifting pop track demonstrating Basic Tape’s ability to craft extremely infectious pop music. Alongside the skipping melodic beats and joyful vocals that transform the track into a warming and upbeat love song with an Electronic-Pop twist. Without a doubt ‘Melody’ promises to lodge itself in the minds and hearts of any listener with its irresistible sing-a-long hook.

The original version has a very melodic tropical chilling vibe with instantly hooky vocals and lyrics that definitely have a nice story to talk about. Its the type of track that can work as great opener in deep melodic more mainstream oriented sets. The Hipster Mix adds as main elements the superb guitar riff  with more driving groove underneath adding more punch but still keeping that after summer holiday vibe on it. #PurePOP #PureGold[/content]

MK (Marc Kinchen) has unveiled his brand-new single, ‘Back & Forth’, a dynamic collaboration with Platinum-selling, Brit Award nominee Jonas Blue, and chart-topping artist and songwriter, Becky Hill.

An upbeat record led by MK’s warm piano-house style, combined with Becky Hill’s soulful songwriting and incredible vocal, paired with the instinctive pop sensibility of Jonas Blue makes this a collaborative recipe that is sure to please across the board. “Back & Forth” marks the second time the Detroit DJ has teamed up with Becky, following the pair’s success with their 2016 Gold certified hit ‘Piece of Me.’ (over 56 Million Streams to date)

Friend and collaborator, Jonas Blue sprinkles his melodic touches throughout ‘Back & Forth.’ The home grown, UK talent is already a multi-platinum selling artist, who recently scored huge success with his summer anthem ‘Rise’. MK collaborator & good friend, Becky Hill is also known for her soul stirring, powerful vocals on tracks like ‘False Alarm’ as well as her UK #1 single ‘Gecko’ with Oliver Heldens.

MK, who is an iconic house producer, artist and DJ may be best known for his timeless remixes and 2017 summer anthem ‘17’ (over 100 million Spotify streams). He is also the proud owner and creative force behind his Area10 label and event brand, which has hosted parties worldwide, headlining stages at the likes of SW4, Creamfields and Croatia’s Defected Festival, as well as the sold out weekly Ibiza Rocks Area 10 residency this summer. The Area 10 label will start releasing some of its own repertoire this coming year.

MK recently dropped his bass-driven “MK Dub” mix of the record in his Creamfields set (which is set for release as the B-side to the original), having originally created the beat for the track in unison with Chelsea Football Club’s players as part of his ‘Beatball’ project back in June. On first listen, it is easy to tell that ‘Back & Forth’ is destined to cement a place as one of the ultimate post-summer tunes across radio and dancefloors worldwide. An addictive and rhythmic release, the track is set for release on Friday 7th September.

 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]MK x Jonas Blue x Becky Hill joined forces for the excellent urban pop friendly house sensational single Back & Forth. While the original version is the perfect Top 10 UK material with straight away success because all the ingredients are there with addictive piano chords, hooky melody, nice groove and soulful vocals with lyrics easy to identify with. The Dub mix is the one for me as it takes the track on the dark pathway with deeper warmer basslines, cold melodramatic synthy riffs, electronic style melodies and cool chopped vocals in a very moody result that will please the underground heads and not only! #PureGold #PurePOP [/content]

Less than a week after snatching up IHeartRadio’s MMVA (Much Music Video Awards) for ‘Best Song Of The Summer’ with their ludicrously successful single ‘Body’, Loud Luxury have set their sights on even greater things. Off the back of hundreds of millions of streams and immense chart success for the aforementioned mega hit, the Canadian duo up the ante with another one of their super-catchy singles: ‘Love No More’, made in collaboration with talented, Toronto-based singer-songwriter anders.

Weaving anders’ silky vocals into their now globally acclaimed signature sound, Loud Luxury have set out to build on the momentum generated by smash hit ‘Body’. As easy on the ear as its predecessor with killer bass and a slew of infectious rhythms to boot, ‘Love No More’ emerges to accelerate the Canadian duo’s rise to stardom and to make the world of dance music plunge into their musical brilliance again.

Loud Luxury: “Seeing ‘Body’ go from a crazy idea that we made in our L.A. bedroom to a song that gets played all over the world is the most surreal feeling. When thinking about the next chapter for us, we wanted to return to our roots and do something that felt special for Toronto. A couple months ago, we found anders’ music online and got introduced through a mutual friend. He showed us a bunch of ideas he was working on, including a much slower R&B version of what was originally ‘Love No More’. We ended up messing around in the studio and making a version that felt really special. Right away, we knew this was the next chapter for us.”
anders: “I'm excited for all my fans to hear this collaboration I cooked up with Loud Luxury. It's amazing to see all the artists in Toronto each with their own sound and in their own lane doing their thing. I think we have something special here by merging both of our respective genres to create something incredible.”
It’s been – and still is – one hell of a journey for Loud Luxury and their international hit song ‘Body’ (feat. brando). Since its release on Armada Music late 2017, the single sold seven times platinum in Canada, hit #1 in the U.S. Mediabase Dance Airplay chart and #20 in the Global Spotify charts, won the MMVA award for ‘Best Song Of The Summer’ and racked up around 300 million streams across the most popular streaming platforms. Currently holding #5 in the U.K. Singles chart, the song just keeps on gaining popularity worldwide and is expected to reach even more wonderful milestones in the coming months. ‘Love No More’ will follow hot on the heels of ‘Body’ and may just prove the next masterstroke move from the Canadian duo.

Sharing the Canadian roots with the boys from Loud Luxury, anders is on a superstar trajectory magnified by lead single support from Instagram sensation Bellha Hadid and a huge debut show that sold 1200 hard tickets. Through his contribution to ‘Love No More’, the young, self-made recording artist and NST label/collective boss heralds the merger of the R&B/Hip-hop world and the electronic music realm, and shows that he has quite the arsenal of tricks up his sleeve to further accelerate his rise to stardom.

It has received wide variety of remixes and it is true that all of them were superb. Truly beautiful is the next single called Love No More featuring anders. The track is an excellent slice of tropical future house with relaxing but danceable swinging groove, playful bassline and future house drop with a lot of sexy attitude. The vocal seems to work very well with its smooth romantic side and the lyrics are easy to identify and talk to your heart about a situation that you may went through in the past. Love No More is a slow grower that soon will become indispensable piece of your digital collection. #PureGold #PurePOP Love IT  [/content]

We're just six months into 2018 yet Tritonal have now released; four brand new singles and a whole host of genre-spanning Remixes - not forgetting they've embarked on a 25+ date 10 Years of Enhanced North America tour (with stops in Europe) amongst their regular Las Vegas residency dates - there's no denying Chad & Dave are two of the hardest working names in the game - and now they're back with single number five, 'Love U Right'.

With their recent collaboration with Sultan + Shepard 'Ready' seeing a nostalgic return to Tritonal's traditional House roots, 'Love U Right' draws once again on these foundations whilst coupling them with the duo's modern production that sees an incredible merger between the two sounds that brings an unashamed Tritonal anthem filled with the identity that Chad & Dave's productions have become so well known for.

Throughout his over a decade long career, Afrojack has been indulging in a bevy of successful collaborations that spotlight the magnitude of his sound as well as that of his partners-in-crime. Today, the electronic music star has notched up another stellar offering as he joined forces with internationally acclaimed German DJ and producer duo Jewelz & Sparks for ‘One More Day’. 

Smoothly transitioning from infectious pop into dance music and back, ‘One More Day’ sees Afrojack and Jewelz & Sparks deliver some of their best work to date. Laden with distinctly catchy rhythms, amazing vocals and a drop that makes every listener swoon, this song aims to splash its magic onto dancefloors and airwaves alike and is bound to see its creators reap the benefits of it. The news of this new track ‘One More Day’ comes on the heels of Afrojack announcing the ‘One More Day’ North American tour that will see him performing twelve shows in the U.S. and Canada this May.

Named the #8 DJ in the world by DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs poll (marking his seventh consecutive year of appearing in the Top 10), Afrojack is one of the most popular dance music acts of today and a sought-after producer, having worked with everyone from Pitbull to Sting and Chris Brown, and winning a Grammy for his and David Guetta’s remix of Madonna’s ‘Revolver.’ Coming from a busy January in 2018 that saw him both announce his return to Wynn, Las Vegas for his 2018 headlining residency and release an array of diverse hits such as ‘Bad Company’ with Dirtcaps, ‘Helium’ with David Guetta and Sia, and a remix of U2’s iconic ‘Get Out Of Your Own Way’, Afrojack has set his sights on making 2018 another colossal year and it’s clear that ‘One More Day’ is another big step in that direction.

Hailing from Germany, Jewelz & Sparks have been on many a dance music fan’s shortlist since 2012. Sporting a signature sound that hits freakishly hard and shines through in their productions as well as their live sets, they’ve rocked more than ten of DJ Mag’s Top 100 clubs (in addition to holding a residency at Club Octagon – #6 in the list) and continually wreak havoc on the mainstages of globally esteemed festivals such as Ultra Europe and TomorrowWorld. With a track record that includes remixes for the likes of The Chainsmokers (‘Paris’), Benny Benassi (‘Satisfaction’) and Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike (‘The Hum’), releases on the labels of superstar DJs such as Calvin Harris, Hardwell and Tiësto, and collaborations with trailblazers such as Fedde Le Grand, Hardwell and now Afrojack, it’s safe to say these guys are skyrocketing to the top with the intention of staying put once they’ve reached it.

The Chainsmokers influence is all over the place so let's hope soon to get over this and return to big festival friendly tracks. #PureGold Love IT [/content]

 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]The upcoming talent Cammora lands on Spinnin/Source with his beautiful Best Friends (feat. The Guest and the Host). The track is an excellent radio/streaming services friendly song with tropical influences and superb trap elements along with folk/country style vocals that is difficult not to identify with and to not feel the great story about our emotions and sentiments for our beloved best friends and particularly when we recall all those stories from our common past. Great singing and arrangement that follows the current global wave of similar tracks this tune will manage to stand out easily. #PureGold Love iT [/content]

Off the back of several super-catchy singles such as ‘I Need You’ and ‘Sunny Days’ plus the funk-infused ‘Sex, Love & Water’, Armin van Buuren just added another summer-tinged song to his repertoire. Today, the five-time #1 DJ in the world released his next seminal single ‘Therapy’ ¬– made in tandem with James Newman ¬– as well as the song’s stunning music video.

Musicwise, ‘Therapy’ sees Armin van Buuren and James Newman nail every bit of that irresistible summer vibe. Showing off its addictiveness through the smooth vocals, romantic lyrics and uplifting chords, it is a song that sticks and one that will embellish the airwaves every time the sun starts shining. 

The official music video of ‘Therapy’ pertains to a cheeky little story of Armin van Buuren himself about his high-school crush, whom he had once fallen head over heels in love with. Combined with the shimmering beauty of Moroccan city Marrakesh through innumerable breathtaking shots, it made for an amazing music video many fans will undoubtedly be able to relate to.

 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Armin van Buuren is not only rocking any mainstage he headlines but also easily dominates the commercial charts worldwide with his radio friendly singles. For the latest one collaborates with the awesome future star pop singer James Newman for the sweet and sexy Therapy. The lyrics are touching and emotional, the vocal delivery is convincing with superb masculine voice that gives shivers to the female of the species and not only. The track itself moves in the safe deep house tropical direction with xylophone pizzicato like euphoric melodies, cinematic warm strings and carefree atmosphere perfect to play in your lunch break and travel your mind to faraway places like the exotic Morocco on daytime radio or favourite spotify playlist.#PureGold Love IT [/content]

 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Thomas Gold is unstoppable as he delivers beautiful house music that can pass the test of time and tracks which can even be considered as classics. The exceptional  Begin Again is a marvellous pop minded slower than usual record with superb feel good rhythm, upbeat euphoric sounds, warm guitar riffs and very strong male vocals  with easy to memorise lyrics. The travelling carefree live like groove and the positive vibe will inspire to find ways to Begin Again and give yourself a second chance that you really deserve.

Hot on the heels of last year’s speaker-busters ‘Chakra’ (with Vini Vici) and ‘Crowd Control’ (with Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike), plus several mind-boggling productions under their NWYR moniker, W&W have come up with a smashing adaptation of an acclaimed classic. Teaming up with German Eurodance act Groove Coverage, they deliver a modern take on ‘God Is A Girl’ that proves ready to hit mainstages and festivals alike. 
  
Harboring a hint of nostalgia that boils down to the original’s Eurodance roots, ‘God Is A Girl’ sees W&W and Groove Coverage pull out all the stops for a peerless mainstage smash. Bringing the original’s timeless sound to today in dancefloor-wrecking form, they have clearly found another way to make the crowd go crazy. 

One of dance music’s leading acts, W&W boast a slew of unbridled club stompers, from breakthrough single ‘Bigfoot’ to the more recent ‘Arcade’ (with Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike), ‘How Many’, ‘Live The Night’ (with Hardwell and Lil Jon) and ‘Chakra’ (with Vini Vici), each becoming reputable live set fixtures and festival highlights across the globe. Voted the #14 DJs in the world in DJ Mag’s annual Top 100 DJs poll (of 2017), the Dutchmen have proven time and time again that their ever-tempestuous productions are rightfully considered esteemed essentials across the festival circuit. This collaboration with Groove Coverage easily fits the same bill.

With four studio albums and a range of successful songs under their belt (eleven songs in the German Top 50 and over 13 million records sold worldwide), Groove Coverage have made a big contribution to the dance music culture, scoring big in the official charts of Germany, Austria and Belgium with ‘God Is A Girl’ and other seminal singles. This modern-day interpretation of their 2002 smash hit is bound to reawaken that same fire in the hearts of many dance music fans.

 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]W&W team up with Groove Coverage to revamp in 2018 mainstage festival style the magnificent God Is A Girl. The track is pumping, dynamic, euphoric, feel good, happy with pop singalong vocals and uplifting rave style synthy hooks. Great breakbeat breakdown travel the mind and euphoric anthemic climax ensures maximum energy flow on any mainstage this summer. It sounds like future pop radio smash hit that will introduce W&W to a wider audience. #PurePop Love IT [/content]
