[item value="10"]USAI x Nito-Onna, imallryt - 4 Minutes [/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]USAI x Nito-Onna and imallryt’s reimagining of 4 Minutes is a masterfully executed tech house production that thrives on both technical precision and emotive impact. From the very first beat, the track establishes a solid 128 BPM framework that anchors its rhythm, ensuring effortless sync and loop potential for DJs while providing the steady momentum needed for high-energy club and festival sets. Its driving groove, supported by thunderous basslines and tribal-inspired percussion, creates a kinetic energy flow that is immediately dance-inducing. The dynamic interplay of pounding kicks and crisp hi-hats maintains BPM consistency, enhancing track cohesion and inviting seamless transitions within DJ mixes. The melodic hooks in this version are both nostalgic and reimagined, blending the familiar motifs of the original with fresh harmonic layers that enhance its emotional resonance. Male and female vocal performances introduce a textured lyrical dimension that elevates the track’s artistic identity and storytelling. The vocals are cleanly processed with spatial effects that add depth and immersion, resulting in an atmospheric experience suited for large dancefloors. The harmonic layering is balanced with excellent dynamic range and loudness control, ensuring that every element—from the vocals to the synth stabs—retains its clarity without overpowering the mix. Transitions, drops, and build-ups are executed with a sense of timing and restraint that reflects mature production sensibilities. Sweeping risers, filtered down sections, and precise cue points enhance both the track’s club usability and its replay value. Each drop is engineered to maximize crowd reaction potential, creating a surge of energy that is both physical and emotional. The arrangement maintains cohesion across its runtime, with a clear narrative arc that takes listeners from anticipation to release, aligning with the principles of effective dance music storytelling. The sound design and spatial production of 4 Minutes showcase exceptional technical craftsmanship. Layers of reverb and delay sculpt a three-dimensional soundstage, while the choice of percussive timbres and synth textures underline the track’s originality. Loudness is balanced to preserve dynamic energy, avoiding listener fatigue, which makes the track not only club-ready but also friendly for repeated home or fitness listening. Scientific studies, such as those by Karageorghis and Priest (2012), indicate that music with consistent rhythmic drive and high perceived energy can improve performance in exercise and wellness settings, boosting mood and reducing perceived exertion. The pulsating groove and engaging arrangement of this track make it particularly suitable for high-intensity interval classes, spin sessions, and general fitness routines by stimulating dopamine and endorphin release (Thoma et al., 2013; Zatorre et al., 2007). The positive impact of this music extends beyond the dancefloor. Immersive rhythmic environments have been shown to promote mental well-being by facilitating flow states and stress reduction. The track’s combination of familiar melodic motifs and modern sonic energy can evoke nostalgia while simultaneously providing uplifting stimulation, aligning with research on the psychological benefits of engaging, rhythmically-driven music (Juslin & Västfjäll, 2008). Its infectious energy and polished delivery ensure high replay value, making it a compelling addition to playlists for both leisure and performance enhancement. #PureGold Loveit [/content]

[item value="10"]Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano - Amazone Project [/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano’s Amazone Project is a masterclass in contemporary house music production, delivering a deeply immersive listening experience that excels across all aspects of technical and artistic execution. From the very first track, “Raiz Brasileira (Extended Mix)” featuring Bruno Martini, Carlinhos Brown, and Bruna Magalhães, the duo sets a vibrant and rhythmically layered tone. The track’s intricate percussive elements and rich harmonic progression establish a cohesive soundscape that flows effortlessly into “Du Du Dum (Extended Mix),” maintaining both energy and musicality. Each subsequent composition demonstrates remarkable attention to track transitions and pacing. The extended mixes are meticulously crafted to sustain momentum without feeling repetitive, ensuring that the listener remains fully engaged throughout the journey. The musical diversity and variety on the album is evident in how the duo blends traditional Afro-Latin elements with modern electronic production techniques. Tracks like “Bira (Extended Mix)” with Idd Aziz and “Uyankenteza (Extended Mix)” with Afro Warriors & Toshi highlight the duo’s mastery in fusing authentic world rhythms with contemporary club energy. This diversity is paired with melodic hooks and harmonic sophistication that create instant emotional resonance. In particular, “Good Life (Extended Mix)” with Inner City channels a nostalgic yet refreshing vibe, evoking a sense of euphoria that is both timeless and modern. The rhythm and groove consistency remains impeccable throughout, with basslines and percussion that are both danceable and hypnotic, providing a perfect balance between movement and musicality. From a production quality standpoint, the project demonstrates exceptional sound design and spatial awareness. Every element—from kick drums to atmospheric effects—is carefully sculpted to occupy its own space in the mix, achieving both clarity and fullness. Dynamic range and loudness balance are expertly managed, which is critical for both club play and streaming platforms. The application of effects, reverbs, and delays adds a three-dimensional quality to the music, immersing the listener in a sonic landscape that is both expansive and intimate. Technical consistency and mastering quality are uniformly strong across all tracks, demonstrating a cohesive sonic identity that reinforces the duo’s artistic vision. Conceptually, the Amazone Project tells a compelling musical story, transporting listeners through an emotional and cultural journey that resonates deeply. The energy of the tracks not only ignites dancefloors but also has significant positive effects on mental and physical well-being. Research in music therapy and neuroscience indicates that rhythmic, high-energy music with positive harmonic overtones can reduce stress, enhance mood, and even improve cognitive performance (Thoma et al., 2013; Koelsch, 2010). For fitness and wellness classes, the consistent BPM and powerful grooves of tracks like “Jambole (Extended Mix)” and “Friday Night (Extended Mix)” can improve exercise adherence and intensity by stimulating dopamine and endorphin release (Karageorghis & Priest, 2012). The music’s immersive atmosphere facilitates a flow state, enhancing both focus and motivation during physical activity or mindfulness routines. The emotional resonance and catchiness of the project ensure high replay value, while its innovation and genre contribution reaffirm Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano’s standing as forward-thinking producers in the house and tribal electronic scene. By integrating global cultural elements with cutting-edge production techniques, the duo not only crafts music tailored for clubs and festivals but also contributes to the broader movement of music as a tool for wellness, community, and emotional upliftment. #PureGold LoveIt [/content]

Two legendary names from the stateside house scene, together on one track, for the first time, and bringing you a message of unfiltered positivity!


In the studio corner, we have Miami’s Robbie Rivera, he of ‘Funk-A-Tron’, ‘Girlfried’, ‘Back To Zero’ and ‘Rock The Disco’ acclaim, all coupled to his fabled Juicy Music sound. Over on the vocal side, there’s ‘The Minister Of Sound’ himself, Chicago’s Ron Carroll, whose gospel lick has graced everything from Barbara Tucker’s ‘I Get Lifted; French house classics including Kluster’s ‘My Love’, Superfunk’s ‘Lucky Star’ and his Bob Sinclar/Axwell collab, ‘What A Wonderful World’.


Together, they share ‘Love Message’ … and it’s one everyone needs to hear. 


Robbie & Ron’s generational attunement could hardly be tighter, with both artists coming off the mid-‘90s release blocks within a year of one another. And better believe there are references, nods and throwbacks aplenty to that throughout ‘Love Message’.


Through the groove of his drums and percussive, shuffling hi-hats, Rivera brings the floor persuasion, while the heart’s delivered through Detroit strings, snares and orchestral stabs. On the mic meanwhile, Ron preaches his club sermon, urging those gathered to “seek love”, “run after love” … “chase it!” … “cos it’s the only thing that will make us one …”


Love is the message and this message is ‘Love Message’! Find it through all good sales and streaming channels here.

[item value="10"]Robbie Rivera & Ron Carroll - Love Message [/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Robbie Rivera and Ron Carroll’s "Love Message" is a masterclass in blending nostalgic house vibes with modern production finesse. Their generational synergy, rooted in the mid-‘90s house explosion, manifests seamlessly in this euphoric anthem, both as a tribute to their roots and as a fresh, invigorating offering for today’s dance floors. The track thrives on its immaculate layering and dynamic range. Rivera’s signature drum programming forms the backbone, with shuffling hi-hats that create a percussive swing, infusing the track with relentless energy. The kick drum is punchy yet warm, providing a solid, driving force that’s quintessential for big-room house. Rivera’s meticulous EQ work ensures that each percussive element cuts through the mix without overpowering the melodic components. The melodic framework is anchored by lush Detroit-inspired strings, which add emotional depth and a sense of grandeur. These strings are complemented by crisp snares and sharp orchestral stabs, creating a sonic texture that pays homage to classic house while maintaining modern clarity. The orchestral stabs especially are treated with subtle reverb and delay, enhancing their spatial presence and giving the track an expansive feel. Ron Carroll’s vocal performance is the spiritual centerpiece. His commanding delivery, filled with soulful exhortations like "seek love," "run after love," and "chase it," is both a rallying cry and an emotional anchor. The vocals are processed with light reverb and delay, adding depth without sacrificing immediacy, ensuring they cut through the mix even in the most energetic segments. The mixing showcases Rivera’s seasoned ear. The bassline is warm and rounded, sitting perfectly beneath the kick, providing groove without muddiness. The stereo imaging is wide, with percussive elements panned tastefully to create a lively, immersive soundstage. The high frequencies sparkle without harshness, a testament to precise EQ and careful dynamic processing. Mastering-wise, the track is loud and impactful—ideal for club play—while retaining dynamic integrity. The transient details in the percussion remain sharp, preserving the track's dancefloor punch. At 130 BPM, "Love Message" is a high-energy, uplifting house track designed to unite clubbers under a banner of positivity. Its infectious grooves and hopeful, optimistic atmosphere echo the golden era of house while embracing contemporary production values. It may carry an old-school soul, but with its crystal-clear mix and polished mastering, this track is undeniably PureGold. We absolutely love it![/content]

“Don’t be a prisoner of your own style.” These words, first uttered by Armin van Buuren fifteen years ago in a video interview, have become rather famous in the dance music space over the years. The Dutchman’s open-mindedness toward other genres has been at the heart of his success, leading him to become one of electronic music’s most versatile and adaptive creators whilst still catering to the fans of his original trance sound. And today, Armin van Buuren enters into a new artistic chapter, tapping into Afro house for a brand-new single featuring Louis III: ‘Part Of Me’.

Inspired by various Afro house remixes on some of his own tracks, Armin van Buuren explores new sonic territory with ‘Part Of Me’, a late-summer Afro-dance hit made in tandem with rising dance pop star Louis III. The latter brings a spirited vocal performance that pairs perfectly with Armin's masterful melodics, blending vibrancy and warmth to great effect. ‘Part Of Me’ is both soulful and irresistible danceable, with a raw, rhythmic pulse that drives the song forward.
“Many years ago, I found that there’s something to love in every single genre, no matter the style of music you prefer as a whole,” says Armin van Buuren. “I’ve had the pleasure of having some of my original tracks pushed in the Afro house space by some insanely talented remixers, and what got me and inspired me was the soulfulness and warmth the genre offers in spades. I felt compelled to channel this, and I’m glad I crossed paths with Louis III to make this happen. I’m super proud of ‘Part Of Me’ and can’t wait for the world to hear it!”
Written by Louis III, ‘Part Of Me’ is about the magnetic pull between two people: a blend of yearning, love and the undeniable connection that sparks when bodies meet. The London-based artist, who has built quite the online presence with his quirky personality and clever song flips, wanted the lyrics to feel as effortless and honest as the entire studio process with Armin has been. 
“Armin van Buuren is an icon of dance music. Period. He's a legend who has crafted some of my all-time favorite tracks, and I can’t believe I got to make this incredible song with him. It’s a dream come true, and I am so excited for the world to hear ‘Part of Me’. It makes my face screw up in a good way every time I play it.
‘Part Of Me’ by Armin van Buuren feat. Louis III is out now on Armada Music.

About Louis III

From the vibrant streets of Croydon to the pulse of dance floors across Europe, Louis III is a name you won’t forget. A South London original with a flair for edgy, infectious dance-pop, Louis III is turning heads and breaking boundaries with his unapologetically queer artistry and undeniable talent.

It all started with a Soundcloud upload during his final year of uni—a track thrown into the digital void, never meant to make waves. But within a week, the music industry was knocking, with ten labels vying for the unknown kid’s sound. That was the spark. But it was on TikTok where Louis III truly found his voice, both musically and personally. As his follower count skyrocketed to 690k, so did his confidence, both as an artist and as a queer individual finding his footing in the dance music world.

Louis III is no stranger to the stage—whether it’s his own sold-out headline shows, supporting fellow LGBTQ+ powerhouse GIRLI on a UK and European tour, or dazzling crowds at Mighty Hoopla, Parookaville, and Pride festivals. His electrifying performances and striking stage looks make it impossible to look away.

With over 250 million streams, a standout collaboration with Sigma on "Anywhere" racking up 80 million streams, and tracks like 'Samba' and 'Pretty Little Lies' lighting up German airplay charts, Louis III’s sound is as bold as his fashion. Praised by i-D, Wonderland, HighSnobiety, and even handpicked by Virgil Abloh to walk for Louis Vuitton, his reach extends far beyond music.

That’s the story of ‘Ethnica (Pasilda)’, the bootleg-turned-official-release combining Nico de Andrea and Vanetty’s collaboration and Afro Medusa’s timeless hit. Played extensively over the past twelve months by Nico de Andrea as well as dance music’s foremost tastemakers, ‘Ethnica (Pasilda)’ has now been officially released on Armada Music.
‘Ethnica (Pasilda)’ started taking shape when Nico de Andrea wanted to soften his and Vanetty’s earlier club hit — ‘Ethnica’ reached #1 in Beatport’s Afro house charts and got championed by the likes of Adana Twins, Claptone, Diplo, Hugel and John Summit — to fit the more intimate venues he plays at. “I love playing ‘Ethnica’ in my sets, but I felt the track was a bit too intense for the audience when performing in smaller setups such as beach clubs,” Nico de Andrea explains. “I was in Miami at a friend’s place, looking for a way to soften the track by playing around with acapellas in the same key, when we put ‘Pasilda’ over ‘Ethnica’. We immediately realized we’d stumbled onto something magical.”
The original ‘Pasilda’, released by Afro Medusa in 1999 and remixed countless times since, quickly made its mark on dance music’s spearhead territories, peaking at #31 in the UK Singles Chart and #1 in the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play Chart in the U.S. Its overarching and timeless appeal — everyone was playing it, from DJs in the underground clubs to mainstream radio stations — helped it become one the most seminal classic house tracks and a shining example of the transformative power of dance music.
“‘Pasilda’ is a legendary track,” Nico de Andrea continues. “Having the opportunity to rework the music that moved me in the early stages of my career, and especially such a house music classic, is a true honor. It’s a dream come true and I can’t wait for everyone to dance to the track this summer.”

[item value="10"]Nico de Andrea x Vanetty x Afro Medusa - Ethnica (Pasilda) [/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Nico de Andrea x Vanetty x Afro Medusa mash up finally gets the official release as Ethnica (Pasilda). The result is super impressive with the fantastic afro house Ethnica that has catapulted the international dancefloors and considered as classic in its genre finally finds voice thanks to the classic latin vocals of Afro Medusa - Pasilda. It sounds like the two are inseparable and will remain like that in the years to me. Groovy melodic afrohouse with touches of melodic techno and the singalong sexy vocals create the perfect explosive mix for an eargasmic sonic adventure. #PureGold Love iT   [/content]

Few artists are as attuned to Ibiza as Armin van Buuren. With sixteen summer residencies, countless club shows, and holidays spent on the White Isle, the Dutch DJ has developed a deep connection to the island and its unique music scene. Ahead of his upcoming September residency at Ushuaïa, a highlight of his touring calendar, he released his latest single today: ‘Es Vedrà’, named after his favorite spot on the beloved island and serving as a tribute to its magic.


Uplifting melodies and powerful rolling drums set the stage for ‘Es Vedrà’, a summer club-ready track firmly rooted in the progressive house genre. A contagious chant that kicks in as the track builds is designed for everyone to join in, no matter what language they speak, perfectly capturing the spirit of Ibiza.

Already backed by global tastemakers such as Pete Tong, Adam Beyer, Chris Lake, Dom Dolla, Galantis, Gorgon City, Joris Voorn and Meduza, ‘Es Vedrà’ is poised to dominate the Ibiza summer season, culminating in the Dutchman's summer residency shows at Ushuaïa.
“Ibiza is said to be home to sirens and se -nymphs, who tried to lure Odysseus from his ship in Homer's Odyssey,” Armin van Buuren says. “It is also thought of as the holy island of Tanit, the Phoenician lunar goddess worshiped as the patron goddess of fertility, who became Ibiza's patroness. This inspired me to make a track about the island.”

Armin van Buuren will play at Ushuaïa for four Sundays in September.

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]AL-Faris feat. Wooden'N'Farley presents the top track  On a Trip. The track is showcase of the high quality that AL-Faris has delivered through the years. The original is pure driving tribal organic floating house production with guitar riffs and superb drive that keeps you floating and dancing with hands in the air. No vocals just the tribal groove that pushes the mind and body to feel free and experience the fantastic sounds.  The underground Chicago House fans will definitely find a fantastic modern update of their beloved genre. On the other hand  Dj Sherry provides the Vocal Mix who adds some very sweet female vocal top lines to sing-a-long and turn the track into a more accessible release perfect for daytime radio play. It has the underground credibility and the cool mainstream appeal that will mesmerize the audiences in clubs and spotify playlists. #PureGold Love IT  [/content]

Anjunadeep fan-favourite duo 16BL remix Cubicolor’s highlight album track ‘As You Fly’.


Having released their third album ‘Sometime Not Now’ in 2022, Cubicolor then embarked on a US tour earlier this year where they will be returning for some shows between the months of November and December.

16BL deliver a more club-focused version of the track, where the original vocals and guitar feel lighter, as they are surrounded by busy percussion, a thumping kick drum, and varied synths that take the track to the dance-floor.


‘As You Fly’ (16BL Remix) is out on October 6th via Anjunadeep.

[item value="10"]Cubicolor - As You Fly (16BL Remix)[/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Cubicolor's original version of  As You Fly is a beautiful exotic sounding experimental electronic track that stays in your mind from the first time you get exposed to it. Now the ever reliable 16BL Remix puts his magic touch and transforms the track into an excellent club friendly deep melodic house meets techno banger. The great vocals are distorted while the middle eastern guitar riff is present along with the dark moody distorted synths and haunting basslines. The climax pushes the track to its limits with strong synthy stabs and anthemic feel to it. Definitely one of the finest exquisite remixes we adored this year so far! #PureGold Love IT  [/content]

The first release of an exciting collaborative EP by Tomorrowland Music and SIZE Records

 In a collaborative triumph, dynamic Dutch duo Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano and Dutch powerhouse producer Magnificence have joined forces for their 2023 rework of Steve Angello’s legendary house record ‘Monday’, co-released on Tomorrowland Music and SIZE Records today! Celebrating 20 years of SIZE Records this year, label boss and one third of Swedish House Mafia Steve Angello tapped into the Dutch producers to give a modern update to his iconic track from 2009. Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano’s and Magnificence’s rework keeps the original’s memorable bassline intact while giving the classic house cut a fresh and funky tribal sound feel – a fun and highly energetic tune full of summer appeal.


The 2023 rework of ‘Monday’ marks the first release of an exciting collaborative EP by Tomorrowland’s imprint and SIZE Records, landing right on time for Steve Angello’s highly-anticipated special 20 year celebration set ‘Steve Angello presents SIZE XX’ on Tomorrowland’s Freedom stage on Sunday July 30.

 

Steve Angello about the collaboration with Tomorrowland Music: "We've always had a thing with Tomorrowland, because we are like-minded and we work for something that we love. Working together with the family of Tomorrowland, I feel like it's meant to be. For us to work with their artists and musical platform, just put out great records, have fun together, perform and enjoy, make people smile - that's what it's all about!"
About Steve Angello

​Long before garnering GRAMMY® Award nominations, performing to millions of fans on multiple continents, crashing charts worldwide, and tallying streams in the billions, artist, DJ, producer, and Swedish House Mafia Co-Founder Steve Angello realized his purpose as a kid in Sweden. He collaborated with childhood friend Sebastian Ingrosso before launching his own label Size during 2003. He also teamed up with Axwell in Supermode, landing a hit with “Tell Me Why.” In 2008, he co-founded Swedish House Mafia with Axwell and Ingrosso. They garnered consecutive GRAMMY® nods for “Best Dance Recording” with the platinum “Save the World” in 2012 and quintuple-platinum “Don’t You Worry Child” in 2013. They sold out legendary venues—including Milton Keynes Bowl and Madison Square Garden—and delivered historic sets at Coachella, Ultra Music Festival, and beyond. Plus, Steve asserted himself as a solo force of nature. He occupied a spot on DJ Mag’s coveted “Top 100 DJs” list for fourteen consecutive years and received two DJ Awards. He has delivered official remixes for everyone from Justin Timberlake, Coldplay, and Depeche Mode to Fergie and Moby. Following his full- length debut Wild Youth, he ascended to another creative peak on his 2018 sophomore offering, Human, collaborating with Bishop T.D. Jakes on “Rejoice,” Pusha T on “Freedom,” Barns Courtney on “Dopamine,” and more. 2021 marked the momentous comeback of Swedish House Mafia with their long-awaited debut LP, Paradise Again, clinching #1 on the Billboard Top Dance/Electronic Albums Chart and UK Dance Albums Chart. They launched the blockbuster Paradise Again World Tour, canvasing 29 cities in 11 countries across two continents for five months. As always, Steve will be unleashing more music and shifting perspectives further in 2023.




About Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano

​The electronic music landscape has changed a fair bit since Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano started their journey, but the stature and widespread dance floor appeal of the iconic duo has remained undeniably grand. From their earliest releases on Size Records and Spinnin’ to the recent batch of incendiary tracks released on their own imprint (SONO Music), the pair’s distinct signature style has not only helped them cultivate a large and dedicated global following, but also enabled them to uphold a commendable reputation across international borders.

Drawn into their craft by influential figures such as Masters At Work, Erick Morillo, Bob Sinclar, Martin Solveig and DJ Gregory, Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano were quick to notice their musical chemistry after a chance meeting in 2006. DJ Mag, the dance music outlet that saw the pair claim a position in the 2021 and 2022 edition of their annual Top 100 DJs poll, provided an accurate description: “James and Marciano represent the perfect storm; together delivering a vibrant onstage energy, a polished approach behind the decks, a sexy image that’s a no-brainer to market, as well as a sound that’s a perfectly stirred fusion of house and techno, Latin and tribal percussion.”

It didn’t take Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano long to become one of the most prolific electronic outfits from the Netherlands. Showcasing their unrestrained energy from the get-go with a diverse selection of releases and early linkups with the likes of Hardwell, Chocolate Puma, DubVision and Sander van Doorn, the Dutchmen began to infect the live circuit with their tribal rhythms, soon gracing the mainstage line-ups of the in-demand festivals such as Tomorrowland, Ultra Music Festival, EDC Las Vegas, Mysteryland, AMF, Kingsland and Creamfields. And as the global call for Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano began to grow louder, so did their commitment to the scene as one of its trailblazing acts.

Taking their responsibilities seriously, Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano founded their SONO Music label in 2017 to provide the next generation of dance music superstars with a platform to release from. An integral member of the Armada Music family, the label continues to uphold its founders’ core values, valuing artistry and authenticity over pigeonholed products. A vast proportion of Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano’s own work has found a home on the imprint, as well as tracks from Armin van Buuren, Sofi Tukker, Dragonette, Cat Dealers, Bruno Martini and rising talents Novak, YAX.X, Leon Benesty, Valexx and many more. The duo have big ambitions for the Label going forward.

​Coexisting with their demanding tour schedule and frequent studio sessions, Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano’s weekly radio show has been an integral aspect of their artistic careers since its launch in the early-2010s. Since then, Sexy by Nature (SBN) has not only delighted at-home listeners, but also expanded to stages at major festivals such as Tomorrowland. The radio show is currently syndicated to over 20 countries and 36 radio stations, besides their weekly prime-time Friday night show on 538 in The Netherlands and a monthly show on One World Radio (Tomorrowland).

Throughout their endeavours, whether that’s hosting a SONO label night during Amsterdam Dance Event, heading up ground-breaking livestreams or pushing the envelope with critically acclaimed singles such as ‘Summer Thing’ and ‘Better Things’ and setting a new benchmark with their highly acclaimed and gold-status debut album, ‘Fundamentals’ , Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano have proven themselves to be a step ahead of the game. And as they move into 2023 , expect the unexpected. That’s been the SJRM trademark since day one.
