Jessie Ware kicked off the closing day of Radio 1’s Ibiza takeover earlier this evening, hitting the stage as the sun set for the broadcaster’s final time this year.
Performing her new single Midnight, Jessie also delivered a beautiful rendition of Tough Love before finalising her short set with a throwback to Kings Of Tomorrow’s cult-2000 classic Finally.
Catch the full performance below:
Skepta has given last month’s Hypocrisy the video treatment, self-directing the visual alongside frequent-collaborator Matt Walker (February’s No Security).
Watch below:
J Tropic may have been bubbling under your radar, but it’s fair to say he’s dropped his lion’s share of belters over the past year or so. Last month’s Thinking Of U gave us a good insight into the London-based producer’s current direction (think ‘early-Flume meets early-Mura Masa’ kinda sonics), and today he follows up the aforementioned with the stunning Hold Me Close.
Give this dude a chance, he could have found a winning formula with this one. Bump it below:
LA duo Ojivolta have been smashing up 2017 with a varied supply of releases, and today they turn to the remix circuit by throwing their might across Portugal. The Man’s Feel It Still.
The collaboration may sound fairly bizarre on paper, but in reality, Ojivolta absolutely nail it – it’s gritty, vibrant and twisted, just the way we like our electronica.
Catch it below:
Maya Jane Coles will release her second album Take Flight later this year.
Landing via her own I/AM/ME imprint (courtesy of Skint Records/BMG), Take Flight has already been preceded by Cherry Bomb, and now Maya has shared the double-A-sided Weak / Werk as the next offering from her anticipated long play.
Showcasing her diversities as an underground producer, Weak/Work may be only letters apart, but differ entirely in their output; Weak delivers a throw to Maya’s early hip-hop days, whilst the latter Werk is a groove-laden slab of deep house with dubby textured stabs layered over hazy vocal chops.
Listen to both below:
It’s been almost twenty years since Fabric-regulars Swayzak stepped onto the scene, and from the mid-90s onward, it’s fair to say the UK’s house scene has evolved from strength-to-strength.
Today however, two months on since Dusky released their Cold Heart EP, the Swayzak lads have teamed up with the Ingrid Is A Hybrid hitmakers to cast own mark on the EP’s title-track, and it’s a breathtaking work of art.
Take your time with this one – Swayzak’s Cold Heart remix is eight minutes worth of atmospheric synths that will never fail to tire.
Fickle Friends have shared two excellent remixes of their latest single Glue, reinterpreted for the dancefloors by UKG supremo MJ Cole alongside house-supremo Zac Samuel.
Grab a listen to below; expect both edits to hit the summer season hard:
Bicep have shared the second single off their anticipated debut album, giving us a taste of the duo’s wider scope of styles with the atmospheric Glue.
Featuring one heck of a gorgeous breakbeat, Glue harks back to 90s rave culture but with a modern-day twist (think Dusky’s ‘Ingrid Is A Hybrid’ in terms of euphoric levels).
Listen below:
JAY-Z has released the latest visuals from 4:44, this time with Moonlight.
Focused on a complete black actor-re-imagining of ‘Friends’, the clip sees a cast featuring Lil Rel Howery (Joey), Lakeith Stanfield (Chandler), Jerrod Carmichael (Ross), Issa Rae (Rachel), Tiffany Haddish (Phoebe) and Tessa Howard (Monica). The 5-minute visual kicks off with a remake of ‘The One Where No One’s Ready’ (aka the episode where Joey wears all of Chandler’s clothes). This one is definitely a sight to behold!
You can watch the full Moonlight video below, followed by an extended clip with outtakes.
Wretch 32 has returned with brand new track Whistle, the lead single from the follow-up to last year’s Growing Over Life.
Featuring Donae’o and Kojo Funds, Whistle hears Wretch also enlist the talents of Rymez on production (responsible for Wiley’s Heatwave, among other bangers).
