Watch Drake’s new video for the Lauryn Hill-sampling ‘Nice For What’

True to his word, Drake dropped his brand new song in the early hours.

Titled ‘Nice For What’, the track comes laced with a continuous sample of Lauryn Hill’s 1998 classic ‘Ex-Factor’, whilst production work appears courtesy of frequent-collaborator Murda Beats (‘More Life’ & ‘Views’).

This is not the first time the Canadian rapper has taken cues from Lauryn Hill; ‘Doo-Wop (That Thing)’ was also sampled back on 2014’s ‘Draft Day’.

Watch the video for ‘Nice For What’ below, which also features cameos from the likes of Tiffany Haddish, Syd and Jourdan Dunn.

Watch Grace Savage’s new video for the charismatic ‘Headlights’

Back in February, newcomer Grace Savage dropped her charismatic ‘Headlights’, an enchanting spin on alt/future-laced electro-pop that instantly made us want for more.

Now some months on, and with her ‘Control Freak’ EP not far off (the project’s launch party will take place at the end of May), Grace has shared the track’s official video which we’re super-hyped to be able to premiere today.

Complete with contemporary dance movement, the visual comes somewhat a departure of what one would expect from a four-time beatbox champion. Grace’s artistic flair is fully present here, echoing the tenderness of the song alongside setting the scene as to the type of artist we can expect from Savage as the year progresses.

Hear Virtual Self’s ‘Ghost Voices’ revert to the rave with Raito’s Old School remix

‘Ghost Voices’, the first track from Porter Robinson’s Virtual Self moniker has been given an early-90s rave reinterpretation by French producer Raito.

Dubbed the ‘Old School Remix’, Raito takes the joint completely left-field, and ultimately delivers a cut that’s equally as inviting, if not more-so, than the original. Listen below:

Listen to ‘Dusk’, the first part of SG Lewis’ forthcoming full-length trilogy

SG Lewis has finally unveiled his anticipated ‘Dusk’, the first part of his new ‘Dusk, Dark, Dawn’ trilogy.

Released earlier today, the 6-track project sets the tone for the early part of an evening on the tiles, delivering warming grooves across moody familiarity – “Disco has always had the association of the start of a night for me” says the producer, adding “I spent a lot a time as a resident DJ in clubs and disco was always that magnetic genre, always brought people onto the dancefloor.” Lead single ‘Aura’ blends SG’s signature warm, uptempo house with disco inflections. “There’s an undeniable beauty to this part of the night. The apprehension, excitement… ‘Dusk’ is the warm-up for the heavier, darker things to come.”

Calvin Harris and Dua Lipa share their new single ‘One Kiss’. Listen

Calvin Harris and Dua Lipa have released their new collaboration ‘One Kiss’.

Acting as a complete 180 from Calvin’s recent ‘Nuh Ready Nuh Ready’, ‘One Kiss’ is far more dance-friendly, and based on the scale of Dua Lipa’s own fan-reach herself, we reckon the song’s also likely to chart higher than its predecessor too.
