Geneva White - "Not The Same" (Feat. Reggie Coby)
Debut EP Surface Out October 13
Surface EP Art
“Soulful songbirds, LA-based Geneva White is generating huge buzz with her dreamy, retro-R&B anthems” – Idolator
“’So Good To You,’ is a beautifully dreamy track that has me convinced this is what a Joss Stone and Lorde crossover would sound like” – The Huffington Post
“Geneva White explores that less-than-glamorous facet of romance in a lyrically raw and sonically dazzling manner in her latest single, ‘Surface.’” – Ones To Watch
“The lyrics [on ‘Dreamcatcher’] are dreamy and smooth, and the beat serves up a perfect contrast: it’s snappy, speedy, and vibey by comparison” - MiLK
"Dreamcatcher” & “So Good To You” featured on Spotify's Fresh Finds: Hiptronix & Six Strings Playlist. Playlists dedicated to "surfacing the latest songs from undiscovered artists that are capturing the world’s interest before the music becomes popular.”
"So Good To You" and "Dreamcatcher" featured on Apple Music’s Breaking Pop Playlist in 21 countries centered around “songs that are about to make a huge impact.”
Singer/songwriter Geneva White unveils her soulful debut EP Surface tomorrow, Friday, October 13th. Geneva’s expressive, bold vocals and sultry musical style already has many hooked. Not only has she garnered early praise from tastemakers such as V Mag, Buzzbands LA, and Live Nation’s own Ones To Watch, but she’s also been gaining momentum with the support from the editorial playlist curators at Spotify + Apple Music.
To celebrate the release of her EP, Geneva performed her first headline show at the Moroccan in Los Angeles on Sunday, October 22.
Geneva White is no stranger to the music industry. A native of Key Largo, FL, she attended the University of Miami Frost School of Music and quickly developed her career upon graduation as a singer, songwriter and guitarist. She leant her vocals to Kan Wakan (Verve Records) for some time, opening for Royal Blood and Arctic Monkeys. Upon leaving the band, she fell into the songwriting scene, finding herself in sessions with the likes of Jeff “Gitty” Gitelman (Chance The Rapper, J. Cole), Chris Hartz(Childish Gambino, Passion Pit), and the UK’s legendary drum and bass artist Shy Fx to name a few. While perfecting her writing chops, many in the industry told her that she should accept her career as a songwriter, but she refused to settle. She left LA for London and immersed herself in the jazz scene, ultimately rediscovering her love of creating music.
Within a week of returning to LA to focus on her own original music, Geneva’s artist vision started to come to fruition. She was selected to perform back up for Lorde at this year’s Coachella, forcing her to double down on her efforts; diving head first into rehearsals and spending every other wakeful moment in the studio crafting her debut release. Simultaneously across the pond, Armada’s Low Steppa chose his next single to be their co-written house anthem “ Can’t Lie ;” featuring the compelling vocals of Geneva White. With over 4.5 million streams on Spotify alone, features in numerous Apple Music curated playlists, and the ongoing support from BBC Radio 1, the single “Can’t Lie” is set to see continued success.

Olivia Noelle - "Made of Gold"

Release date: 20 October 2017

With Halloween quickly approaching, it is certainly the season for all things spooky in the music world and beyond. While NGHTMRE generally holds down an ominous aesthetic with his melodic-driven bass music, his newest release "The Killer" features his longtime friends and past roommates, Bret James & RNSOM, who take this track to the next level. The 3 artists co-produced the track together before Bret James blessed the instrumental with his menacing lyrics and haunting vocals, pleading "I’m not the killer," in such an anguished fashion that we’re almost convinced. "The Killer" quickly gears up with sinister basslines and goosebump-inducing, mechanical synths reminiscent of chainsaws. Like its namesake, this is one track that simply seems made for the apex of a horror movie. Given that NGHTMRE is in the midst of his "NGHTMRE Before Xmas" tour and will be making appearances at spooky fests this month - Voodoo, Escape, and Something Wicked, "The Killer" is bound to be in frequent circulation.
The Los Angeles based producer has had a busy 2017 thus far, complementing several successful track releases with outstanding live performances. He recently released "On the Run" featuring PASSEPORT, teamed up with Ghastly for "End of the Night," put his own spin on Fat Joe's classic hit "Lean Back" as well remixed DJ Snake's recent "Here Comes the Night." NGHTMRE's packed tour schedule included Lollapalooza, Coachella, EDC Las Vegas, and his own Gud Vibrations Festival in SoCalwith SLANDER.

Rugby Wild - "Chickenshack"
Rising fast on the West Coast hip-hop scene, 24-year-old Rugby Wild is the kind of artist who was born into his chosen profession: focused, innovative, and driven, he’s launched himself into the national spotlight with infectious tracks that mix fast-moving wordplay with world-class audio and video production. A young rapper who came of age on the avenues of Newark and New York City, Rugby pulls from his own streetwise stories to create high-energy songs with powerful rhymes.
It’s always come naturally to Rugby, and his newest track, “Chickenshack,” off of his forthcoming LP, Millennials, is a perfect example of how everything musical falls into place for the young artist. “Chickenshack” melds the smooth, sophisticated stylings of New York City living with the irreverent swagger of confident youth. The song tracks Rugby’s visits to the City, where culture, art, and an atmosphere of inclusion reign, back home to his neighborhood in New Jersey, where hustle and grit define a different side of life. The finished track, completed after Rugby’s move to Los Angeles, became even more impactful in post-production, when a cross-country move and a plunge into the city’s music scene fostered introspection and continued to develop the song’s unique energy, which unfolds over lilting, soulful production. “Chickenshack” projects the voices of Rugby’s East Coast friends out into the world, providing a space for their narrative to unfold.
“I bring originality,” says Rugby about the track and his new album. “So many artists are trying to make money off of what’s already proven to sell, but you can be original and still get noticed. In this day and age it’s ridiculous to think you have to do what everybody else does. I think my job right now is to be a collage, to show the industry that we don’t all have to do the same thing.”
RSXGLD (Ro Spit & 14KT) - "True" (feat. Royce Da 5'9", JMSN & DJ Assault)
Ro Spit & 14KT - "True (feat. Royce Da 5'9", JMSN & DJ Assault)"
Before their much anticipated debut album arrives this Friday, RSXGLD (Ro Spit & 14KT) connect with fellow acclaimed Michigan natives Royce Da 5’9” and JMSN for a soulful new single, “True.”
There’s a deep and potent weight to the track, which stems from RSXGLD’s self-titled album, and it permeates through each element. JMSN, who appeared on lead single “I Believe,” sings his heart out on the chorus that pushes us all to leave the past behind us. And on their verses, Ro and Royce detail their respective come-ups and all they’ve been through to get to where they are today. As Nickel-Nine raps at the end of his bars, “A n***a had negatives but my positive just gon’ have to outweigh it/ N***a, I’m just happy I made it.”
“True” hits especially hard because of its musical elements, too, which are brought through the immaculate work of 14KT and guest DJ Assault. You may know Assault for being one of the forebearers of the electro-dance sub-genre of Ghettotech, and he brings that sound straight to the beat on here for track’s second half.
“True” represents a musical journey of so much that Michigan has to offer the world, and it’s one hell of a way to get ready for RSXGLD’s impending release.
Check out the track, and head over to the retailer of your choice to pre-order RSXGLD, which drops this Friday, Nov 03. In addition to Royce, JMSN and DJ Assault, the 12 track LP also boasts features from Denaun Porter, Elzhi, Ronnie McNeir and more, and will be available in all formats (CD, vinyl, and stream/download), via Fat Beats Records.

Splash Gordan - "No Way"
Brooklyn rapper and entrepreneur Splash Gordan dives into the deep end on “No Way”
And there’s no way you’ll be sleeping on him much longer
Meet Splash Gordan, the 26 year old MC and owner of Think Mink Beauty Bar in Brooklyn. Though he may not have much music out at the moment, the two songs he’s released say more than enough about his talent, uniqueness and diversity than most rappers in the game right now. This single, “No Way” acts as a follow up to “ P.A.F ” which featured fellow Brooklyn artists Zeus Blanco and Jay Critch. While both tracks are insanely catchy, “No Way” gets much more personal and in depth, with lines like “when I see a nigga’s mama cry/cause his loved one’s traumatized/and he caught up in a homicide”.
Splash’s debut project, Destined 4 Darkness is set to drop within the next few months, but until then you can enjoy “No Way” and P.A.F”.

Cuebrick feat. The Future Is Mine - "United"
Artists: Cuebrick feat. The Future Is Mine
Title: United
Label: Enhanced Music
Release date: 20 October 2017
Download / Stream
We live in a world where often our differences seem to outweigh our similarities, where humans are encouraged to be divided instead of recognizing the hopes, dreams, fears and struggles that we all share. Cuebrick's new track "United," in collaboration with The Future is Mine, serves as a heartfelt testament that music is the universal language to connect us all. Opening with soulful vocals over soft chords, the track rides on moving lyrics and cinematic melodies into the break, where a gospel choir delivers a goosebump-inducing chorus. Cuebrick and The Future is Mine formed an instant bond when they met and decided to combine their electronic and live instrumental sounds - and United was born. The decision to add the choir came after the track was finished because the producers still felt something was missing in the break. The artists wanted to create a raw emotional feel with real (as opposed to computer-generated) vocals, so they got together with the local gospel choir in Cuebrick's studio and recorded the stunning verses that are in the final version. The uplifting message conveyed in "United," combined with its expertly crafted production, give it a timeless quality that is guaranteed to delight crowds all over the world.
The DJ and producer known as Cuebrick first broke into the electronic dance music scene over 3 years ago with his debut hit single "Watch Out" topped the German dance charts at #1 for seven weeks. He earned international respect after a series of successful releases and remixes, like "Iceland" with Tritonal and his remix of Jochen Miller's "Head On" original on labels like Enhanced Recordings, Ultra Music, Mixmashand Armada. Cuebrick leveraged the talented band, The Future is Mine, for "United." The Future is Minebuilt their sound geared toward the rock audience, with a focus on instrumentals and raw vocals that can only be found in live music. Their music's mesmerizing melodies and meaningful lyrics have resounded with many a listener, and their producer has been featured on Gold and Platinum records. This past year, Cuebrick has performed at some of the world's best festivals, including Nature One, Mayday, Winterworld, Electric Love Festival . He is supported by industry heavyweights like Tiesto, Armin van Buuren, Nicky Romero, W&W, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Steve Aoki and more. Between his immense industry backing and his growing global audience, Cuebrick is positioned as one of the most promising rising talents in electronic music.

Misunderstood - "Ghetto Style"
British pop / R&B duo Misunderstood reveal their debut single ‘Ghetto Style’. The song was written by Misunderstood and Maegan Cottone (Little Mix, Britney Spears, Olly Murs).
Misunderstood are South East Londoners Stephan Benson and Jeff Okyere. The duo met while they were both at school, bonding over their love for music, choreography and their complicated childhoods. Although ‘Ghetto Style’ is their first proper release, the duo are no strangers to the limelight.
Having supported top pop acts like Boys II Men on tour, nabbed the Will.i.Am seal of approval and casually partied with Beyoncé in West Hollywood, Misunderstood have also attracted an impressive following on their social channels, simply through touring and organically growing a fanbase.
Their first gig at a Birmingham University fashion show, organised through a friend, had drawn in a large student crowd. They went on to play their second show in Germany.
Alongside recording songs like ‘ Sucker’ and ‘Imma Do My Thang ’ for their social networks, Misunderstood started producing and directing their own music videos – filming themselves as they travelled. Their fan base grew – and their dedication to their own marketing paid off as they accumulated huge numbers of fans on Facebook and even convinced promoters to let them support big acts like Chipmunk, Stooshe, DJ Fresh and Boys II Men on their UK tours.
“Our message is simple,” says Stephan. "It’s about being free to be yourself. It’s about being happy in you. It’s about having fun. It’s storytelling about the people who aren’t being shouted about. You’ll see and hear that in everything; the music, our style and in our videos. Our personalities and beliefs are bottled into our music.”
RHYNE - "Nuisance" (feat. john.AVERAGE)
Feature by Atlanta underground rapper john.AVERAGE and a vocal feature by RHYNE over a funky, trippy hip hop beat influenced by artists like MNDSGN, Flying Lotus, and Samiyam.
Denzil Porter - "CareLess"
Careless will be the first song off the album with a video soon to be released.
Bronx New York native, Denzil Porter - first full length project released in 3 years, The Semantics of Mr. Porter released via ThatsHipHopMusic.com
Kodiak Soul - "Summer Breeze ( W/Waivs)"
Infusing elements of hip-hop and electronic music into a new influx of melodies, beats and everything in between
"As the Summer leaves me...I thank it for the Summer freed me, and as it goes just know...the winter is coming and the winter needs me"
Jane XØ - "Let Me Down Easy" (with LöKii)
Jane XØ has revealed her new track, ‘Let Me Down Easy’ . The emotional song follows the release of ‘Love Me’ and its follow-up remix EP ‘Alternate Love’ earlier this year, and continues a series of incredibly high quality trap-pop productions which have left critics astounded and consistently questioning the identity of the artist.
Since emerging in 2016 with a mysterious Soundcloud account, and zero followers, Jane XØ has caught the attention of the electronic music community around the world. In her few public comments, Jane has expressed her wish to remain anonymous. “Being able to express myself musically without limits, no worries of judgement, no worries of success or failure.”
While speculation is rife about her true identity, one things remain certain - Jane XØ’s music is a surefire hit. Her feature with Mike Perry ‘Touching You Again’ has amassed over 17.5 million streams on Spotify alone, and with her own productions she she’s consistently climbed the Hype Machine charts as well as amounting millions of streams across all platforms.
In her ambient, floating signature sound, Jane XØ blends urban pop, world music and dance elements into an exotic, laid-back chill out tune in a class of its own. Danceable electro sounds, crisp staccato beats, warped tribal influences, and above all Jane XØ’s distinctive, sexy, goosebumps-evoking vocals.
What stands Jane XØ apart from other artists in her field, is that all ego has been stripped away in favour of purity in the pursuit of her art. Keeping the images behind the music and the vocals of Jane XØ completely anonymous – the wild, untamed emotion and passionate personality in the songs and performances take centre stage. Jane makes music that resonates and connects. She takes no notice of judgments and doesn’t worry about what critics might have to say. By doing so, the art and ideas are kept intact.
Song after song, Jane is all about bringing the truth to light. For her, the future is wide open, the possibilities are endless, and the music is what matters.
‘Let Me Down Easy’ is available here: https://smg.lnk.to/JaneXOLetMeDownEasy
