Major Lazer have released a new remix EP to accompany their recent hit Know No Better.
Featuring edits from the likes of Bad Bunny, Doobious, BROHUG, Slander, Laibert, La Fuente and SUPER CRUEL, it’s DJ Zinc’s rework that stands out the most for us (and we’re sure you guys, too). This one’s a sprightly bass gem, delivering similar sonics to Zinc’s excellent 2009 throwback remix of La Roux’s Bullet Proof.

Some may recall Sam Dew from his excellent collaborations with the likes of Julio Bashmore (Holdin’ On), Chris Malinchak (When The World Stops Turning) and Skrillex (Stranger, however his previous discography has also shown that the young musician knows how to nail his own tracks too. A quick look at Dew’s Soundcloud proves the Chicago-native delivers more than excellent croons by way of his solo pieces, and today he delivers another great joint with the wavy Remember.
Catch it below; this one’s a perfect accompaniment to the heatwave currently being enjoyed by many of us here in the UK:
Frank Ocean has premiered a new song on the surprise latest edition of his blonded RADIO series on Apple’s Beats 1.
Called Provider, the seventh episode of blonded also saw Frank drop a freestyle over 2 Chainz’s Rolls Royce Bitch. Catch them both below:
**UPDATE**: Provider now has a lyric video – watch underneath:
Just like here in London, it seems that almost anything that gets recorded at a Red Bull Studio hits the nail on its head instantly, and the same theme seems to working from the beverage brand’s sites in the ‘other hemisphere’ too. One shining example comes from New Zealand’s latest export Miloux, who’s been working out of Auckland’s Red Bull Studio on her latest project, EP 2 (the follow-up to last year’s imaginatively-titled EP 1). And whilst the whole collection deserves a listen, it’s the gorgeous Paris that we’re bringing to you today.
Catch it below; you can also listen to EP 2 in its entirety over on Miloux’s Soundcloud too.
If you’re spending this Bank Holiday weekend surrounding a barbecue with your mates, then look no further than Noah Slee’s Reality to formulate part of your soundtrack. Uniting with soon-to-be soul heavyweight Jordan Rakei, the track has a calming hook with literally grabs you on first listen. The chorus is pure head-nodding, whilst Ben Esser’s production skills are fully reaching 100.
Vibe out to it below:
Paloma Faith has announced her post-pregnancy return to music with new single Crybaby.
Lifted off her upcoming fourth studio album The Architect (release date TBC), Crybaby will receive its world premiere next week, with an imminent release thereafter.
Just over a year ago, Paloma shared early information regarding her upcoming plans (alongside The Architect) on Facebook:
So the good news is my 4th album is well underway and I am very excited about it. It’s actually nearly finished as I type! I have been working with the amazing Jesse Shatkin on it as producer and it has been a real honour. It is called “the architect” and is very aptly named as it leads me on to my next announcement. I am so delighted to tell you I am going to take a short while off to have a baby. I have spent my whole life wanting to be a mother and now the time has come for me to do so. I feel so lucky.This means I won’t be involved in the voice this year or releasing my album this year either.
So while you are all patiently waiting I would like you to know that I am grateful for your continued support and patience and I hope that you will respect my new family with our privacy in a time which should be calm and without anxiety. I really do not want this child to be in the public eye as it won’t have chosen to and I hope everyone can understand that.I am nervous and excited about being a mum and just need to be normal and low key for a while. Pregnancy and motherhood is a very personal thing : daunting, new and worrying at times and I don’t want to add to it by having to “look” a certain way when pregnant or be photographed pregnant or with my child. I wasn’t raised like that and I don’t want my child to be. I want the baby to have the freedom of a normal life.
When I return I will be full of energy and excited to come and sing for you again. I am passionate about my job and what I do in the public eye but consider these to be two separate things, not one in the same.
The album is sounding super exciting and I can’t wait to share it with you all. I am very lucky and grateful in the knowledge I will get to do so very soon. Your loyalty is a gift and astounds me every album release. I am grateful for your understanding and promise to return fully fledged when I have had this moment of solitude and new life. I am beyond happy about it.
All my love, respect and gratitude to you all.
The architect-
Paloma xxxx
More on Crybaby next week!
It’s been more than a minute since Raleigh Ritchie graced us with new music, so today it’s welcoming that he returns with not one, but two new joints.
Lonely Summer, which falls part of Napapijri’s 4 Seasons collection of Vivaldi reworks, joins The River, which hears Raleigh team up with fellow Brit Chris Loco. Both are as wonderful as each other – catch them below:
Now on her way to support Bruno Mars on his US tour, it’s safe to say Jorja Smith has had one heck of a year – no-less adding the likes of Drake and Kali Uchis to her collaboration-roster.
Today however, she zooms back to her UK counterparts, teaming up with fellow-Brummie Preditah for the UKG-led On My Mind. Preditah has a knack of excelling when it comes to vocally-distorted productions (think his edit of Jessie Ware’s Keep On Lying as a fine example of this), and it’s a theme he carries across to Jorja’s work too.
Listen below; this one’s a banger!
