    Ray Volpe Releases “All Emotion Allowed” EP

    0

    Bass maestro Ray Volpe displays a softer side on his new EP “All Emotion Allowed,” a two-track testament to the complex and often heart-wrenching facets of love. Brimming with emotional lyrics and atmospheric, futuristic melodies, “All Emotion Allowed” is a vastly different venture from Volpe‘s EP “No Emotion Allowed” earlier this year. On the first track “Without You,” featuring dual vocals by Devin & LydiaVolpe explores a complicated and bittersweet breakup story of boy-loves-girl and girl-cares-but-not-in-that-way. Afterwards, the tables are turned on “Worth a Try” with Aviella, and it’s the girl who returns to fight for love. “All Emotion Allowed” will appeal not to just bass fans, but to anyone who appreciates experimental, groovy vibes and has ever experienced any form of heartbreak. Press play on “All Emotion Allowed” anytime you need a good hit in the feels.

    Ray Volpe may only be 21 years old, but he’s already well on his way to becoming a force to be reckoned with in electronic music. The American producer has built his reputation by creating bass-centric dancefloor anthems, cultivating a sound that some consider the revival of dubstep for the modern day. After supporting artists like Borgore and Kill The NoiseVolpe launched his own debut headline tour for “No Emotion Allowed” this spring, blasting off into a new realm of success; he’s also delivered official, heavy-hitting remixes for MarshmelloThe Chainsmokers, and GTA. The different sound displayed on “All Emotion Allowed” shows the Volpe is a master of his craft with diverse sound potential, leaving what he’ll come up with next a mystery.

    Snails’s The Shell 2.0 Tour, Kill The Noise Remix

    0

    Snails will be embarking on one of the largest tours in North America this year with his 52 date tour, which will feature his brand new stage The Shell 2.0. The stage is being called a “holographic bass music experience powered by groundbreaking production” and is done in part with Beama Visuals, the stage production wizards for Excision and other impressive clientele. The tour kicks off at the iconic Red Rock Amphitheater with his own festival Sluggtopia where “The Shell 2.0” is being unveiled to the world. The tour also features some incredible support with Kill the NoiseLiquid StrangerCookie MonstaSvdden DeathUbur and Hekler with some more tba. All dates are below.

    Download / Stream

    Snails also just dropped the fourth release from his upcoming remix album of “The Shell: Remixes,” and it’s an epic spin on the original. Kill the Noise takes on remixing Snails and NGHTMRE‘s track “Only Want U” featuring Akylla, cycling through a myriad of bass music’s dirtiest tricks: stabbing synths, mechanical percussion, hardstyle-esque basslines and a warped intermittent vocal sampling. Earlier this summer, Snails and Kill the Noise collaborated on “Shake the Ground” featuring Sullivan King and Jonah Kay, which was the first release on the king of Vomitstep‘s new label Slugz Music. Since then, Snails has released the first three remixes from the album – including Funtcase‘s “Forever” remix, Megalodon‘s version of “Russian Roulette,” and Virtual Riot‘s take on “WFSU” – on Slugz Music.

    Frédérik Durand, better known as his DJ/producer alias Snails, is truly an artist whose music has no boundaries. After spending years crafting music featuring the most grimy sounds and unrelenting bass – including working with Skrillex and Diplo on their Grammy-winning album – his “Vomitstep” sound found a home on labels like OWSLADim Mak and Monstercat – along with a cult following that truly embraces it. His singles “Into the Light” feat. Sarah Hudson, “WFSU” with Waka Flocka Flame, and “Only Want U” with NGHTMRE and Akylla set the stage for his game-changing debut album “The Shell,” which served as a testimony to exactly who Frédérik is as an artist. Now with the launch of Slugz MusicSnails has a home for his music and others’ that is as outrageous as they want it to be. “I want to release music that really inspires me and is just as weird as me,” he quips. Stay on the lookout for more upcoming, blackout-worthy releases from Snails and Slugz Music!

    Makola returns with anthemic new single Crown

    Set for release on 7th September, ‘Crown’ channels elements of grime and hip hop into a booming cinematic commentary on the ethics of the British empire, the relevance of the monarchy and existing hegemonies of our time.

    Rapper and one-half of the rising artist/producer duo, K Mensah recalls “The idea for the track was conceived upon hearing the news that Wiley had been awarded an MBE which he accepted…it got me thinking what does it actually stand for and who are the real kings and queens of our modern day society?”

    Ominous, claustrophobic and on the front foot from the off, ‘Crown’ simmers with psychotic energy as Pete.H’s whirring, skittering production of beats, bass and unnerving synths, underpin rapper Mensah’s cryptic opening salvo. The accompanying video compliments the track with a stark monochrome aesthetic, Mensah upfront, Pete.H in the shadows, with biblical references and projected images of street protests and historical figureheads adding weight to the message. As the track progresses it rises to its name then drops into a wide-screen chorus of sub-bass and brass, with haunting choral synths offering siren-calls to the establishment. The production feels like the soundtrack to a revolution and conjures the kind of atmosphere Hans Zimmer would be proud of.

    Although Makola’s roots lay in Finland and Ghana, the duo have crafted a sound, forged in London, which is an irrepressible explosion of hip-hop and afrobeat. Their debut single released in mid 2017, ‘This Is London’, was jumped on by Beats 1 DJ Julie Adenuga, hailing it as one of her “tracks of the summer”. The record went on to secure support from Radio 1’s Phil Taggart and Mistajam, and playlisted by BBC Radio 1Xtra as their BBC Introducing’s track of the week. The grimier second single ‘Black Man Statues’ found a place on Spotify’s Grime Shutdown playlist and featured as Mistajam’s ‘Inbox Fresh’ as well as being supported by Huw Stephens at Radio 1. As a result of just two track releases, the vibrancy and effect of their music awarded them their first headline gig at KOKO in Camden, which sold out. They have since gone on to perform at major festivals across the UK and Europe, bringing their music to life on stage as they deliver unrelenting musical and theatrical entertainment, giving them a reputation as an act you must see.

    Back with new single ‘Crown’, which is being released via Leaf Music, the track balances moments of menace and levity and ultimately asks a simple question that needs answered: “Who wear the Crown now?”

    See Makola live at their headline show at Camden Assembly on 7th September and the Leaf Music/Karousel showcase at headCRASH, Reeperbahn Festival, on 21st September.

    Novo Amor Unveils Cinematic New Visual “Utican”

    0

    Novo Amor has unveiled the official video for his new single “Utican”, which premiered earlier today on The FADER. The track is the latest to be taken from his forthcoming debut album Birthplace, to be released on October 19 via AllPoints. Much like the video for the album’s title track – which seeks to address the monolithic problem of plastic in our oceans – and was awarded Independent Video of the Year at the AIM Awards earlier this week – the storyline for the “Utican” video also centers on a topical and emotional issue, befitting of the cinematic nature of Novo Amor’s music.

    Speaking about the “Utican” video concept in more detail, director Ethan Graham shares:

    It’s a culmination of meanings – from a young boy’s realization of looming adulthood and sexuality, to he and his father coming to terms with the loss of his mother. His memory of her is slowly deteriorating and the only way he can hold onto this is by wearing her dresses and applying her make-up the way she used to when he was a little boy. It’s an emotive coming-of-age story that nurtures a masculine relationship in a beautifully delicate way
