After enlisting Seinabo Sey for vocal duties on last year’s ‘Keep On Lovin’, MagnusTheMagnus has returned the favour by producing the Swedish artist’s new single ‘I Owe You Nothing’.
Set as a prelude to an impending onslaught on new music (more to come as the year progresses), the song appears alongside supporting track ‘Remember’ which features Jacob Banks – both tracks mark Sey’s first release in over two years.

After debuting the song back at Brixton Academy last month, Wilkinson and Sub Focus have finally revealed the full studio recording of their new collaboration ‘Take It Up’.
Grab a listen in full below; both producers are consistantly slick with their output, and ‘Take It Up’ doesn’t fail to hit the spot:
Snakehips have revealed their wavy new single ‘Cruzin’, the lead track from their upcoming ‘Stay Home Tapes’ EP.
The project, which features Jeremiah, Amine, Knox Brown, Chaz French, Elbee Thrie, Jay Prince and St Rulez (the latter who leads the charge on vocals for ‘Cruzin’) will also come supported by a 3-part mini movie, creatively put together by the duo’s James Carter. As with much of Snakehips’ early work, ‘Cruzin’ sets the scene of the new EP by overlaying slick vocals across futuretronic, head-nodding sonics, reflecting the sound and styles of both US and UK influences.
Grab a listen to ‘Cruzin’ below; the ‘Stay Home Tapes’ EP lands on 5th April. **Now updated with video**:

Having already been hammering global dancefloors across the winter months, DJ Zinc has finally dropped his mammoth new single ‘Amergency’.
With its chunky drums, looped, pitched-up rave vocals and relentlessly visceral synth stabs, ‘Amergency’ is massively out-there as one of the most arresting house records to hit our inbox in months – taking clear cues from his roots in jungle, Zinc has produced a track that nods to the past, yet is absolutely of the moment.

Duke Dumont is back, sharing his first new song of 2018, ‘Inhale’
Featuring Lagos-based Ebenezer, ‘Inhale’, the track received its world premiere as Annie Mac’s latest Radio 1 Hottest Record, and follows last year’s ‘Real Life’ which saw the producer team up with Gorgon City for the first time.
Listen to ‘Inhale’ below:

Suspect has shared the video for his icy new single ‘One Way’.
Teaming up with Skepta and Jesse James Solomon, the joint hears all three deliver their own interpretations of the UK rap / grime scenes – different in their output yet aligning so masterfully together.
Catch the visuals below; this one’s cold as!
LA-based producer SNBRN has unveiled his highly-anticipated new single ‘Lovin’ Me’, fresh from his energetic appearance at San Diego’s CRSSD Festival earlier this month.
Lifted from his forthcoming ‘U Want It’ EP, the track wholeheartedly demonstrates SNBRN’s diversity as a producer, bringing together a series of cleverly crafted chord arrangements with some instantly-inviting (and vibrant) melodies. A dynamic and upbeat party-starter, the track follows his last single ‘Melrose’, a collaboration with American duo Strange Club.

All Points East organisers have added a further 38 names to this year’s line-up, alongside revealing their impressive staging splits.
Joining the lineup are Belgian electro heroes Soulwax alongside house and hip-hop fuser Yaeji, renowned British dance duo Maribou State, future star of UK hip hop Jesse James Solomon and Tel Aviv post-punkers Bones Garage. Additional sets also include appearances from Kelela, Abra, Daft Punk-produced Aussies Parcels, French duo Her, Drake-championed London rapper Octavian and NTS resident DJ DEBONAI.
From a staging point of view, organisers have also announced their new site concepts:
The X Stage is an ambitious, new ‘in the round’ festival experience placing the finest electronic talent in the heart of the action and enveloping the crowd in sound from all angles. The stage will host performances from huge names including The Black Madonna, Omar-S, Hunee, Mr G, Roman Flugel and DJ Tennis. By putting the performances into the heart of the audience, the DJs and fans both become the centrepiece of the structure. Utilising a multi-point source audio system with each leg of the structure housing inward facing speaker configurations, the stage will deliver a truly immersive audio experience.
The East Stage, the main stage at All Points East is framed by full-height state of the art screens to allow the best possible viewing experience for fans, no matter where they are positioned in the main arena. With 60 moving lights, plus incoming artist productions, the fan experience is further enhanced by the most advanced speaker system in the UK, the Martin Multi-Cellular Loudspeaker Array (MLA), ensuring the optimum audio experience for all guests.
The West Stage is the main indoor performance space at All Points East and houses state-of-the-art lighting comprising 97 moving lights and another 50 generic lights on stage and throughout the venue. The space boasts Outline GTO, an arena level audio system that you would expect in world class arenas including the O2. Hosting artists including Justice and Flying Lotus 3D who will be adding their own widely acclaimed and immersive production, the stage is a must visit.
The North Stage, inspired by many of the world’s most beautiful theatres, is formed of concentric arches and 50 moving lights that will provide a visually stunning backdrop to all artists performing there. Like the East Stage, the structure will feature a Martin Multi-Cellular Loudspeaker Array (MLA) system, providing guests with world class audio and a truly unforgettable fan experience.
James King, Festival Director says:
“Every stage at All Points East is designed to offer fans a different experience wherever they are on the site and at whatever time of the day it may be. Lighting and video are essential to delivering an ever changing and evolving production and live experience. We want the stages to feel unique for every performance so the artists can deliver their own personal vision to their fans, making each set stand out from the last. To achieve this the East Stage will host a large scale LED screen setup to provide a huge canvas for each artist to deliver their own look and bespoke feel supporting their live performance. The North stage takes inspiration for many of the world’s greatest theatres where concentric arches help achieve lighting spectacles rarely seen outdoors.
The West Stage is simply a full on indoor immersive production set up where large scale lighting and LED combine with great sound and a break from the sun. The X Stage is a new exciting design specifically created for All Posts East. We wanted one of the best quad based systems in the world to deliver a sound field much like the very best clubs did back in the day.
These 4 stages are just the start. The great thing is, there is more to come….”
