Born in Brussels, and living between the cultural crossroads of both Kazakhstan and Ireland before landing in Amsterdam, Papa Aashi offers a fresh perspective on cross-cultural storytelling through his music. Over the past year, Aashi has stormed the stages of prominent clubs in both Amsterdam and London following the success of his debut 2021 album, ARIA. Stream the new single ‘boys II men’ right now:

The direct reference to Motown legends notwithstanding, ‘boyz II men’ highlights the rapper and producer’s captivatingly mature flow and varied approach to compositional influences. Down-tempo but in no way dull, the new track offers an experimental approach to structure. Discontent with following the norm, Papa Aashi delivery is a distinct brand of bars. As the vocals smoothly steer the track’s momentum, Aashi traverses his genre-bending production style with panache. With a bright funk-dance flair, the production work showcases Aashi‘s signature groovy timbre and melodic magic. Subtly sucking listeners in with new sounds whilst offering familiar hooky progressions.

From his early days as an EDM DJ to immersing himself in the underground world of trap, Papa Aashi has metamorphosed into a new-age European rapper and producer; laser-focused on honing his sonic identity and carving out his own unique lane within the electronic music scene.

Listen to R3HAB’s hot new remix of ‘Habaytak’, featuring Ghizlane Melih

0

Multi-platinum producer, and DJ, R3HAB has just unleashed a new remix of Acid Arab’s infectiously exciting track, ‘Habaytak’. For the last fifteen years, the musician, Fadil El Ghoul, better known by the R3HAB moniker, has remixed the likes of Rihanna, Drake, Taylor Swift, and Calvin Harris, put out original tracks with huge collabs, and has dominated the mainstream whilst staying true to his Dutch-Moroccan heritage. Out now via [PIAS] Électronique, R3HAB gave the Eastern-inspired sound of the original track, featuring Ghizlane Melih’s vocals, a darker, faster-paced twist. Watch the freshly released Jean-Charles Charavin-directed video: 

Trailblazing through the original with his vision but never forgetting to intensify Acid Arab’s existing builds and breaks, R3HAB heightens the vocal track to spine-tingling levels. Incorporating explicit House elements and throbbing electronic bass, this club banger exaggerates the source material’s production whilst keeping Ghizlane Melih’s gorgeous vocals in the spotlight. In doing so, he not only injects the beats with his unique brand of thumping House, but he also pays homage to the Morrocan diva’s heritage and influences. Listen to both the original and the new remix below: 

The two producers had this to say about their collab, R3HAB: “I’ve been a fan of Acid Arab’s work for a long time now, so I was excited when they reached out. I had a lot of fun remixing ‘Habaytak’, it’s always a good challenge to infuse my sound into different genres and musical cultures. I loved the experience and we’re excited to finally share it with the world!”. Acid Arab: “This mix of R3HAB’s more mainstream sound with our Arabic-inspired electronic music has spawned a unique and potentially massive track. We’re honoured that R3HAB agreed to add his special touch and individual vibe to our track. We’re proud to see more musical boundaries fall.”

The new track, released on 3 November 2023, sees Amun’s soulful delivery shining atop a hard-hitting house beat from featured producer Madhi. Leaping across genre lines, ‘Human Nature’ lands somewhere special between the R&B and Pop spectrums. The featured single incorporates Afro-Jazz improvisations with spell-bindingly bluesy soul. As the chorus drops in, it’s met by a funky bassline determined to keep you moving.

“I’m very proud of the songs I wrote and produced in high school as I wouldn’t be the songwriter and singer I am without them, but at the same time, I’m excited to release music that’s more aligned with my artistry. I have worked very hard over the past couple of years, especially on who I am as a vocalist, and I feel “Human Nature” is a great opener to what’s to come.”

0

The JLB and the innovative Eastend outfit GRAVY have united their creative forces in the release of their latest record, ‘Too Much Toosh’, set to drop on October 20th.

He has been producing his unique brand of UK Bass music for 10 years. GRAVY is a production duo voiced by Casper a multi-faceted writer, rapper, vocalist, producer, artist and designer occasionally supported by idntmttr vocally too an ethereal sonic technician and producer whose ear plays a central role in the majority, if not all of the recent Kingdome Recordings projects and releases. GRAVY now hone their craft at Belly Of The Beast Studios under Nick Detnon previously home to Dizzee Rascal where the seminal Boy In The Corner was made.

Both of these artists are gearing up for a series of live shows and DJ sets, taking their unique sound from London to Manchester, Bristol to Brighton, and everywhere in between. On November 3rd, GRAVY will grace the stage at Kingdome’s BOUDICA in Manchester, sharing the bill with illustrious talents like Shannen SP, Rainy Miller (the DJ/Producer behind Blackhaine), and Ill Japonia (of Bo Ningen fame). Last month, GRAVY and The JLB unveiled their joint bi-monthly Post Genre Party at the now-legendary South London venue, Spanners.

‘Too Much Toosh’ is nothing short of beautiful chaos. The track features deep, transposed vocals and an unpredictable beat that creeps into your senses. It’s a multi-faceted composition, with elements such as old-school rave chords, colossal basslines, and hard-hitting drums. To contrast the aggressive production, ethereal feminine vocals make an appearance. The end result is a harmonious blend of unpredictable yet irresistible soundscapes that demand your attention, despite their seemingly enigmatic and wild nature. It’s a sonic entity that’s unlike anything else while simultaneously encompassing elements from every corner of the musical spectrum. 

Reimagining the formula for forward thinking dance music and asking themselves, “at its core, what makes a banger sound original?” especially in today’s homogenous world. Their answer : “Being bold, different and good.

Guard releases smokey new single ‘color by numbers’ with a self-directed music video

0

Charismatic memer Guard released the first single, ‘color by numbers’ on 1 October 2023. It is the first single from his upcoming second album IT WAS ALL A MEME… – set to hit the airwaves on October 27th 2023. Born in a small town in South Africa before immigrating to Australia at a young age, Guard was brought up on the internet, fostering a love for pop music & pop culture, expressing himself through poetry, lyrics, filmmaking and graphic design. He has a strong presence in the internet’s meme community, with a combined following of over 1 million. Using his meme pages as a base, he has launched a following for his own musical project. Guard creates conceptual, unexpected pop music that draws from personal experience, aiming to blur the lines between technology and humanity so that listeners are forced to remain aware of – and continue to question – society around them.

‘color by numbers’ is a moody, confessional self-portrait that navigates the sometimes confusing dating game. He collaborated with fellow queer artist Indiana Williams on the lyrics which tell the story of Guard finally feeling mentally stable enough to look for companionship. Backed by a Post Malone-esque gritty, dark trap production, Guard’s smooth and emotive vocals paint a hazy, smokey sonic picture. You emerge from listening feeling dazed, but moved. 

Guard’s self-directed & edited music video shows the story behind a scar on his sternum. He divulged: “I wanted to be brave as an artist and show an aspect of myself that I try to hide & in a sense paint a picture of who I truly am. My scars make me stronger & there is a lesson to be learned through every adversity. However, I think it’s also okay to want to pursue things that don’t sabotage my mental well-being & to not want “just another lesson”. My journey over the past few years has been learning how to trust and respect myself.”

Klay Cartier had this to say: “I’m so excited about this release because I’m finally giving people what they want. I’m showcasing my natural ability in R&B and I’m bringing back that classic R&B. This song is sexy, sultry and definitely an ode to the early 00’s R&B.”

Odds uden for rofus og deres indflydelse på samfundet



Odds uden for rofus og deres samfundsmæssige effekt

For dem, der ønsker at forstå de varierende spilmuligheder, er det vigtigt at overveje, hvordan dette fænomen kan have langtgående konsekvenser. Mange individer, der ikke er registreret i det officielle system, søger og benytter alternativer. Disse spilplatforme kan påvirke økonomiske forhold, sociale interaktioner og endda psychiske helbred. Spillevaner kan ændre sig dramatisk, afhængigt af tilgængeligheden af forskellige tilbud.

En undersøgelse viser, at der er en betydelig sammenhæng mellem tilgængelige spilmuligheder og den stigende deltagelse i pengespil. Det bliver derfor vitalt at overveje, hvordan disse platforme kan føre til nye tendenser blandt spillere. For dem, der ønsker at udforske muligheder, kan det være nyttigt at besøge en online casino rofus for at forstå, hvad der tilbydes.

En anden aspekt, der ofte overses, er hvordan samfundets holdninger til spil ændres. Med fremkomsten af nye teknologier og online platforme bliver det lettere for spillere at deltage, hvilket kan føre til både positive og negative sociale dynamikker. Det er essentielt at være opmærksom på disse ændringer, da de kan påvirke både enkeltpersoners liv og det bredere samfundet.

Hvordan påvirker odds uden for rofus unge menneskers valg og adfærd?

Unge mennesker træffer ofte beslutninger baseret på spontane impulser og sociale faktorer. Adgang til gamblingaktiviteter kan forændre deres perspektiv. Det er væsentligt at forstå, hvordan den lette tilgængelighed af væddemål og online spil kan påvirke valg som uddannelsesprioriteter eller økonomiske beslutninger. Konsekvenserne kan manifestere sig i form af risikoadfærd, hvor de unge overser langsigtede mål for kortsigtede gevinster.

Et konkret eksempel kan ses i, hvordan konkurrencen om at vinde i online spil kan lede til en stigning i risikovillighed. For mange unge er det ikke blot underholdning, men også en mulighed for at tjene hurtige penge. Denne tankegang kan føre til, at de overser vigtigheden af ansvarlig økonomi, med potentielle langsigtede problemer som gæld og afhængighed.

Samtidig er der et behov for initiativer, der fremmer kritisk tænkning og risikovurdering blandt unge. Uddannelsesprogrammer om ansvarligt spil kan introduceres i skolerne, hvilket giver de unge en bedre forståelse af konsekvenserne ved gambling. En kombination af mobilisering af sociale ressourcer og oplysning vil være essentiel for at minimere negative påvirkninger på unges beslutningstagning og livsstil.

Hvilke sociale konsekvenser følger med odds uden for rofus i lokalsamfund?

Regulering af gambling påvirker lokalsamfundet direkte ved at skabe en opfordring til ansvarligt spil. Med fokus på at reducere negative sociale konsekvenser bør lande implementere mere strenge regler for spiludbydere, som for eksempel at kræve online platforme at identificere spillere og anvende værktøjer til selvudskladning.

Øgede sociale problemer

Når der ikke er ordentlige kontrolsystemer, kan det føre til en stigning i spilleafhængighed. Det skaber økonomiske problemer for enkeltpersoner, som kan påvirke deres familiære relationer og forbindelser til venner. De sociale interaktioner ændres, da afhængighed kan føre til isolation og stigmatization i lokalsamfundet.

Uden overvågning bidrager også til stigningen i kriminalitet relateret til gambling. Nogle borgere kan ty til ulovlige metoder for at finansiere deres spilverden. Det skaber frygt og usikkerhed blandt indbyggerne, hvilket kan underminere det sociale sammenhold.

Reflekteret offentlig politik

For at håndtere de negative effekter, skal der skabes reflekteret offentlig politik, der adresserer både de økonomiske og sociale konsekvenser. Uddannelsesprogrammer kan give information om ansvarligt spil, samt hvordan man genkender advarselssignalerne for gamblingafhængighed.

Lokale organisationer kan arbejde på at støtte familiestrukturer, der er ramt af spilproblemer. Dette kan være oftere møder, rådgivning og andre støtteformer, der kan hjælpe sårbare individer og deres familier med at overkomme de sociale omkostninger.

Alle indsatser bør sigte mod at skabe et sundt spillemiljø, hvor folk kan træffe informerede valg uden at risikere deres sociale netværk og økonomi. Derved kan samfundets sammenhængskraft styrkes og langtidseffekterne reduceres betydeligt.

Hvordan kan politikere og organisationer håndtere udfordringer relateret til odds uden for rofus?

Politikere og organisationer skal implementere målrettede oplysningskampagner, der fokuserer på de risici, som online spil og væddemål kan medføre. Bliv ved med at informere befolkningen om ansvarligt spil og psykiske sundhedsmæssige konsekvenser ved problematiske spillevaner.

Regulering og overvågning

Det er essentielt at indføre klare love og reguleringer, således at både fysiske og virtuelle spilleplatforme opererer under strenge retningslinjer. Oprettelse af en uafhængig tilsynsmyndighed kan sikre, at virksomheder overholder disse regler og beskytter sårbare spilleres interesser.

Støtte og behandling

  • Tilbud om gratis rådgivning for dem, der ønsker hjælp til spilleproblemer.
  • Udvikling af adgang til støttegrupper, der kan tilbyde fællesskaber for mennesker, der står over for lignende udfordringer.
  • Integration af informationsressourcer på hjemmesider for online-spil, der leder spillere til hjælp.

Politikere bør også etablere partnerskaber med organisationer, der er specialiseret i behandling af spilleafhængighed. Dette kan omfatte fælles initiativer og ressourcer, der gør det lettere for arbejdstagere i sundhedssektoren at henvise spillere til den rette hjælp.

Derudover er det vigtigt at udnytte teknologi til at overvåge spilleadfærd. Dataanalyse kan hjælpe med at identificere mønstre, der tyder på problematisk spil, hvilket muliggør tidlig intervention.

Uddannelse og oplysning i skolerne

Inkorporering af information om ansvarligt spil i skolesystemet kan bidrage til at skabe en grundlæggende forståelse blandt unge om de potentielle konsekvenser ved at spille. Workshops og klasseprojekter kan engagere eleverne og give dem praktiske værktøjer til at træffe informerede beslutninger.

Endelig kan brug af sociale medier og influencers være en effektiv metode til at sprede oplysning om ansvarligt spil. Ved at aktivere populære personligheder til at tale om emnet kan budskabet nå en bredere målgruppe og skabe større bevidsthed om ansvarsfuld spilleadfærd.


Interview with rising vocalist Klay Cartier

Setting himself apart from the crowd with a visceral, embodied tone is Kansas-based Klay Cartier. Listening to his latest offering, a make-your-head-nod single titled ‘Good For Nothin’’, we were carried away by a whirlwind of precision. Anything but tame, the classic hip-hop drums slam relentlessly beneath the warmth of Klay’s timbre – Toto, we’re not in Kansas anymore. 

Stream / Download: Klay Cartier – ‘Good For Nothin’’

This young man is being talked about. Having previously featured in NOTION Magazine, WordPlay Magazine, and The Pit London, he has garnered early press support for his latest single from the noteworthy music publication CLASH Magazine. And today we’re adding our support. To mark the occasion, we got to know more about this rising name. Here is Klay Cartier

When recording ‘Good For Nothing’’ how did you get into the zone?

Once I heard the heavy percussion and the guitar melody that we ended up reversing, I was instantly excited, I had this butterfly feeling, and I felt like I could really do something amazing to this.

Singers and producers often have different tastes. How do you negotiate decisions about the sound direction with your producer?

With my producers, it can really be a power struggle because we both care about the song and we both want the song to be good, but sometimes if not all the time we just hear a different version of the song that may be what we originally intended on when it came to the creation, ultimately we just have to compromise and find a solution that fits both of our tastes. Personally, I try not to be bratty so sometimes I can easily find a compromise and be open to change.

Looking back, what were some of your earliest entries into music appreciation? And music production?

I remember sneaking into my mom’s CD collection and just listening to ‘90s R&B and ‘00s R&B, and I would lay next to the radio getting lost in the music. I’d even write down my favourite lyrics from the songs. As far as music production, I’ve only started to dive into that recently since I’ve been more hands-on with my music production.

Take us through your list of dream software/gear you would like to get?

Definitely a Neumann U67! I’m a microphone geek and, to me, that’s one of the best microphones out right now!

What do you need with you when you sit down to write or produce?

My phone! I’m always recording different harmonies and weird sounds that I think would sound cool in a beat, so often I like to play those back to see if they inspire anything whether it be a hook or a verse.

What other artistic revenues do you pursue?

Besides acting and modelling, I write poetry under a pseudonym, one which I’m not ready to reveal just yet.

Studio work and music creation or performing and interacting with a live audience, what do you prefer?

Performing and interacting with an audience for sure! There’s just a certain euphoric feeling when you’re on stage, and it’s kind of like you’re forced to live in the moment. You’re not worried about yesterday or tomorrow; you’re engulfed in the present.

What has been the most memorable moment of your career so far?

Seeing the messages and comments of people who say that they can’t stop listening to my music. That may sound simple, but there were times when I thought no one would ever listen to my songs.

Name 3 artists you would love to collaborate with in the future

Definitely Drake, 21 Savage, and SZA.

Do you think music should provide social commentary and reflect the current world?

Most definitely. What would music be if it didn’t narrate the times? Music not only provides the soundtrack to our lives, but it connects us and helps us unite. I think it’s our responsibility as artists to stay as authentic and genuine as we can, so it’s very important for us to comment on what’s going on.

What can we expect from you in the near future? Any upcoming projects or gigs in the pipeline that you would like to tell us about?

Currently, I’m getting into acting and developing a fitness series, so be on the lookout for that, especially with the fitness series, which will be featured on my TikTok.

One last thought to leave your fans with?

Be good to people even when they are not good to you.
