Fans of MagnusTheMagnus and Mura Masa may fall in love with Philly’s latest export, Hazey Eyes. Having already spent the past couple of years remixing other artists’ work (including dropping his own Goodbye EP toward the back-end of 2016), the producer is back with a song that completely plays an ode to his name. Hazy in its output, Love Is comes wonderfully crafted, no thanks in part to some subtle vocal distortions and its xylophonic centricity.

Almost 18 months on from the release of the Snakehips-produced Put It On Me, London-based Malika has finally delivered her anticipated Songs About C EP.
Opening with the aforementioned joint, the 6-track project also hears credits from Maths Time Joy, Bearcubs, Davinche, and Bodhi, among others, whilst previous releases I Live and Run also making an appearance nestled within the collection.
The whole EP is definitely one to vibe out to – take time to enjoy this one. Listen below:
Hayden James has shared new music, hooking up with Grace Pitts (aka GRAACE) for NUMB, the Sydneysider’s first track of the year.
True to his regular timing plan of only releasing his own work once per year, NUMB may not be a dancefloor banger, but elegantly continues to showcase how far Australian producers are pushing the electronic realms. GRAACE’s vocals are sultry yet magical, and the whole joint just feels luxurious to the ears.

Sam Smith has announced further details of his upcoming second album, alongside sharing brand new track Pray.
Produced by Timbaland alongside long-term writing partner Jimmy Napes, Pray will join Sam’s No.1 hit Too Good At Goodbyes on The Thrill Of It All, which drops on 3rd November.

Having seen his resurgence continue throughout the summer months with various major festival appearances, Craig David has dropped a second dose from January’s The Time Is Now, as he hooks up with Diztortion for new single For The Gram.
Throwing his flows over an ode to society’s reliance on social media, Craig tells of the new collaboration – “When I stepped in the studio I knew that Diztortion would push me in to a place that musically I hadn’t ventured in to before. What I love about the outcome is that we were able to create a song that people won’t necessarily expect from me, yet has all my trademark melodies & fast raps all over it. Can’t wait for the world to hear what we’ve been cooking up as I’ve been testing early versions of the song in my TS5 sets and it has been going off just like how ‘Rewind’ began. ‘For The Gram’ needs to be played at full volume that’s all I know!”

CamelPhat and Elderbrook’s Cola had barely touched the ground when tastemakers’ ears were pricking up across the board. Still riding high across all soundwaves, from Beatport to Radio 1, the track’s already been championed by the likes of MK, Solomun and Sam Divine.
Now however, the joint’s had a nifty rework courtesy of Mousse T, who puts a Defected / Glitterbox-style piano-led breakdown across a host of uplifting new sonics.
