BB Diamond reunites with Shift K3Y for ‘Man Or A Monster’

Having spent the last 12 months in the studio collaborating with the likes of DJ Fresh, 99 Souls and Sub Focus (among others), BB Diamond is back on her own tip, releasing her solid new single ‘Man or a Monster’.

Featuring production from Shift K3Y (the two connected way back in 2015 on the excellent ‘Gone Missing’, a track which still appears on regular rotation at our studios to this day), ‘Man Or A Monster’ has been described by Diamond as an “F.U to all those serial relationship cheaters and deceivers”, adding “In any relationship there is the good and bad, but when it all turns ugly, that’s when you need to get the hell out of there!”

Bump KRANE’s impeccable futurebass remix of Dua Lipa’s ‘Be The One’

It’s safe to say that Dua Lipa’s had one hell of a year. From success both in her home turf to as far-reaching as the US, the young Brit seems to smash everything in her path, and today her excellent ‘Be The One’ has been given a further lick of life, this time for the futurebass-heads courtesy of KRANE.

Historically, Oakland-based Krane has totally switched things up with pretty much everything he’s touched, and his sprawling rework of Lipa’s instantly-catchy pop number really does hit the mark.
