Kaytranada shares new music, and remixes Sade and A Tribe Called Quest

0

It’s time to get excited if you’re a fan of Kaytranada, as he slowly starts returning to the forefront by sharing more new music, plus some flips of classic iconic songs too.

Quietly updating his Soundcloud yesterday, Kay dropped fresh remixes of Sade’s 1992 hit ‘Kiss Of Life’ alongside A Tribe Called Quest’s ‘Midnight’. Not only that, but he also shared two original demos too, titled only by the dates they were made (’03 19′ and ’04 27′).

With other appearances starting to seep through the cracks (check out his work with Lauren Faith on ‘Just A Little‘), fingers crossed it’s only a matter of time until we hear brand new music from the talented producer.

Listen to all his new work below:

Swedish House Mafia confirm 2019 reunion tour

0

Following their return at Ultra Music Festival earlier this year, Steve Angello has teased further details of Swedish House Mafia’s full-scale reunion for 2019.

Appearing after a five-year hiatus in March, Angello confirmed that the EDM supergroup are “absolutely” coming back next year, including teasing details of a potential tour. “It’s happening, obviously….Not all the details are set, but we will be back in 2019.”

Additionally, Angello has also revealed that new music is also on the horizon. Speaking to Sweden’s Dagens Nyheter, the producer said “Yes, absolutely, Swedish House Mafia is back. Now during summer everyone is traveling a lot, but we’ve entered the studio. I can’t really say much more, but we’ve decided that: ‘Here we go.’”

Back in July, Oliver Heldens also added fuel to fire, letting slip that a tour was impending – “So, Swedish House Mafia have now officially reformed, and are announcing a world tour in 2019”.

Meanwhile, odds on SHM headlining Glastonbury 2019 were recently slashed to 7/2 by bookmakers Betway.

0

Stormzy continues to be the one hero many of us need, this time revealing he has teamed up with the University of Cambridge to announce his new Stormzy Scholarship.

Set to fund two students this year, and a further two in 2019, the Stormzy Scholarship will pay for tuition fees plus also provide budget for a maintenance grant for up to four years. The scholarship aims to encourage the admission of more black students to top universities – a Financial Times report found that some colleges in Cambridge did not enrol any black students between 2012 and 2016.

“We’re a minority, the playing ground isn’t level for us” said Stormzy after revealing the news this morning – “it’s vital that all potential students are given the same opportunity.”

The application deadline for this year’s scholarship is 30th August; to be eligible, applicants must be of black ethnicity and have an offer to study at Cambridge; 2019 applicants will need to apply to Cambridge by 15th October.

It’s fair to say that after spending time with the girls on their recent ‘Sister Sister Sister’ tour, elements of HAIM’s sonics were bound to rub off on young Maggie Rogers, so it was no surprise that last month’s ‘Give A Little‘ shared more than an a dash of inspiration from the trio.

Set to feature on Maggie’s as-yet-untitled debut album, ‘Give A Little’ was co-written and co-produced alongside famed Adele-collaborator Greg Kurstin, and today the US singer shares the joint’s equally-as-uplifting new video.
