Ninja Tune Releases New Fink Single

0


To grace your ears with a brand new single is London-and Berlin-based singer, songwriter, guitarist, producer and DJ, Fink.

His new single, ‘She Was Right’ was released via Ninja Tune on 12 April 2017 off his March 2017 album, Fink’s Sunday Night Blues Club, Vol 1.

‘She Was Right’ has a slow, soulful feel, and lyrically, narrates a story of man whose woman leaves him, but he believes she made the right decision for herself. The downward tone of the track echoes its lyrical content; making ‘She Was Right’ the perfect song for late-night reflection over the very same whiskey that Fink mentions in the song.

Be sure to catch the album’s upcoming accompanying tour around Europe to see Fink’s genius in person.

1

Following the release of his debut single, “Microfibre” last September and “Kepler-62” last November, Leon Inc. has now shared a new version of his second single which features the vocals from German-born, London-based NINA. 

Described as a “club-ready vocal track that is driven, in turns, by shimmering, ethereal melodies and hard, bouncing bass lines” it is inspired by the Kepler-62 star system, and invokes imagery far off galaxies waiting to be explored.

NINA’s voice is  gently carried along the track, and is well-suited to the retro electro feel and arpeggiated synthesizers, creating a hauntingly expansive sound.

Leon Inc. perfectly blends art with music to present an album that satisfies all your senses simultaneously. Insert Disc can be purchased via Leon Inc’s website.

DJ Skirt Takes A Break

0

In sad news, Texas-born, UK-based DJ Skirt (real name Bethany DeMoss) has announced that she will stop performing as a DJ.

In a heartfelt Facebook post, the techno artist announced her recent battles with performance anxiety, concluding that if the “thought of an upcoming gig is making me actually physically sick and on verge of a nervous breakdown, then clearly something is wrong.”


She went on to say, “Wish I was more cut out for the DJ life, but I’m clearly just not… I really am OK and feeling positive about everything else, but when the nerves are so bad that you feel immense relief about cancelling a gig, it means these opportunities should belong to someone else now, and that there is another path for me to walk.”


DeMoss, whose work has been distributed by labels such as Horizontal Ground and Semantica Records, was a regular performer at top clubs like Berghain and Fabric. Fans have reacted with sadness to the news, though there have also been widespread demonstrations of support and encouragement for the talented DJ.

Prangman Releases Chamber EP

0

Chamber is the latest offering from electronic producer Prangman and is out now via Migration Records, a sub-label of NexGen Music.

The opening track “Far Away” features the vocals of Lyndsey Murray and is a sparse, rhythmic vocal breaks track, with overtones of acid jazz and soul. Murray’s husky vocal phrasing is offset by an understated keyboard progression that allows “Far Away” to breathe with the excitement of a new discovery.

Dan Meldrum, aka Prangman, has enjoyed airplay from Rinse FM’s Marcus Nasty and shared stages with the likes of Flava D, El-B, Wen, Khan & Nee, Teebee, Wookie and DJ EZ, to name but a few.
He performed at the 2013 Horizon Festival in Bulgaria and has held a residency at the regular Sous Sol event series, one of Leicester’s most established parties. Most recently, his participation at Outlook Festival in Croatia alongside Digital Mystikz, Loefa, Mooney and Killjoy, was very well received.

Regarding “Chamber”, Prangman states: “I use brands, objects or places to influence my decision on track titles, this can help me direct the sound of the track or the choose samples required. I like to fuse genres together to make a whole new unique sound. I guess it all stems from the drum & bass days. I’ve always been a massive drum and bass head and love the neurofunk sub-genre”.
