Dermeduza entering the top 40

 

giphy-downsized.gif

he has a great voice for dance tracks

good for him to do some collabs

The weird thing about the Meduza song is that the main selling point of Dermot Kennedy is his strong soulful Irish accent, but the track smooths out his vocals.

Biography

 

Jax Jones

When Duke Dumont topped the UK charts with his single “I Got U” in 2014, many listeners may have assumed that featured artist Jax Jones was the singer. In fact, Jones (born Timucin Aluo in 1987) was a cowriter and producer on the song, whose No. 1 position marked his auspicious debut. Raised in London by a Turkish father, a Malaysian mother and a Nigerian stepfather, Jones grew up on a mix of American hip-hop, UK dance and African music, which might help to explain the mix of styles that swirls through his music: His youthful fondness for Prince shows through in funk-infused cuts like 2015’s “Ocean Drive”, while Afro-Caribbean accents bubble up in 2018’s “Ring Ring,” a lilting tropical-house jam. Though his beats generally follow the punchy cadence of deep-diving future house, he brings a hip-hop producer’s collage sensibility to the mixing desk: Many of his productions slyly interpolate other songs. “You Don’t Know Me”, from 2017, is built around the slinky hook of M.A.N.D.Y. and Booka Shade’s 2005 anthem “Body Language”, while “I Got U” contains a choice bit of Whitney Houston’s “My Love Is Your Love”. Whether on his own productions or his remixes for Ellie Goulding, Charlie XCX and Missy Elliott, Jones’ habitual blend of pop polish and house groove is unmistakable. In conversation with Beats 1’s Julie Adenuga, he spoke about his unique relationship to dance music. “I just thought I'd try it,” he said. “House is a collage of everything the creator is. If you love hip-hop, you can chuck that in there. If you love rock, you can chuck that in there too. It took a long time, but now it makes a lot of sense. It’s sample-based and also musical, so it's a very natural fit. Life is beautiful like that. They say you have to, like, get rid of yourself to go to the next level. And I think that’s what happened.” - iTunes

 

Au/Ra

Born in Ibiza and raised in Antigua, singer/songwriter Au/Ra crafts alternative pop with electronic influences inspired by her multicultural upbringing. Influenced by artists like Lana Del Rey, Kraftwerk, the Neighbourhood, and Arctic Monkeys, the young Jamie Lou Stenzel was raised by music-loving parents (her father is a producer in the electronic/trance scene) and decided to pursue music at the age of ten. Under the name Jamie Lou, she uploaded her covers of songs by Birdy, P!nk, Shakira, Rihanna, and more. Later, she adopted the Au/Ra moniker, taking inspiration from a character in her self-penned Lord of the Rings fan fiction. Her first single, "Concrete Jungle," bore a striking resemblance to Lorde, a "Royals 2.0" for 2016. She followed with "Outsiders," an outcast anthem that interpolated Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall" into its lyrics. Her third single, "Kicks," was another big beat anthem with vocals leaning in the direction of Halsey. These three tracks would find their way onto her debut EP, Outsiders, which arrived in 2017. In 2019 Au/Ra issued the ethereal electro-pop single "Dance in the Dark." - iTunes

They really need to stop with double derogatory songs

Didn't really care either way for the Meduza track. Lose Control remains their best to date!

Kareen Lomax

Atlanta-born Kareen Lomax’s forthcoming 7-track project, Hard Feelings, is an honest and uplifting soundtrack to her own little world that was inspired by her brush with fame and the belief that it was over. After living the rose-tinted life of a hotly tipped pop newcomer in 2016, gaining hundreds of thousands of listeners overnight thanks to a $50 Facebook ad for then single Melatonin, she lost sight of why she began making music to start with and returned to her hometown to be a dog groomer, picking up her life where she left it years before. Now, thanks to a chance discovery from Diplo in 2019, one of the world’s biggest producers, 2020 is set to be Kareen Lomax’s second coming.

 

Hard Feelings represents her life coming full circle, back to the place to where it all began and back to what she loves doing the most. Recording sessions in the city and a remote cabin in the mountains of Georgia ushered in Kareen’s new musical project, a shimmering, spell-binding R&B masterpiece set to be her best yet. - Spotify

Biography

 

TV composer and pianist Paul Harvey, recently filmed by his son Nick whilst composing a touching piece of music at the keyboard, has had his improvisation orchestrated and recorded by the BBC Philharmonic. The piece – simply called Four Notes: Paul’s Tune – is the result of an improvisation challenge based on four notes. Paul’s son Nick filmed the improvisation as it happened. Eighty-year old Paul Harvey is a dementia sufferer. “An old party of trick of Dad’s was to request four random notes from people and then compose a tune.” - Planet Radio
