Stalone - "Deep Sea" ft. K.A.A.N

May 15, 2018 by N3 On The Track in Music, R&B/Soul, Rap

First impressions are notoriously important – a fact not lost on singer/songwriter  Stalone – who’s ready to show the world that the stars have aligned and it’s her time to shine with the release of her debut EP Uropa .

Stalone has had a passion for artistic expression since her childhood, so naturally her talent caught the attention of Grammy-winning producer Dem Jointz, who produced Uropa along with Focus and Logann.

Inspired by Björk's Utopia and by Stalone’s own love for space (Europa is an ice water moon that orbits around Jupiter), Uropa is a vibrant and far-expanding sonic experience that perfectly fits its theme. It’s an adventure of styles and sounds set over five tracks, from haunting echoes to smooth melodies, or as Stalone herself put it:

“This project is like a weird dream, like what the music would sound like if Björk had a blunt in her mouth while her and I sit and take shots of Jack at a local bar in our space suits.”

Uropa is available now on SoundCloud

JAGMAC - "Right Back With You"

May 15, 2018 by N3 On The Track in Music, R&B/Soul

With their catchy choruses, pure vocals, and dynamic routines, JAGMAC is set to take the music world by storm! These siblings' unique blend of talents include: singing, songwriting, dancing, choreography, rapping, playing musical instruments, sign language.  And probably most impressively, every member of JAGMAC holds a black belt in Taekwon-Do, and four members of the group are two-time world champion black belts in the Philippine martial art, Eskima.

With a slew of major accomplishments already to their name, JAGMAC kicked off 2018 with a special guest performance on the Emmy Award-winning FX series “Baskets.”They’re releasing their highly anticipated new single, “Right Back With You” this spring, and are performing at various shows and festivals across the US this summer and fall.

From funk and soul, to pop, rap, jazz, and rock & roll, JAGMAC grew up in an eclectic musical household, and these influences can be heard in their musical style and lyrics.  The group co-writes all of their songs and have been in the studio penning a new album (scheduled to come out early fall 2018) with many of the industry’s top writers, including:  Lauren Christy (Avril Lavigne, Bebe Rehxa, David Bowie) Pam Sheyne (Christina Aguilera) Bryan Todd (Miley Cyrus), Ben Adams (Craig David) and Manny Streetz!

In 2015, JAGMAC premiered their debut music video “Existence,” which was soon followed by the hits, “What’s Right With Me” and “Get Your Groove Back’, all while embarking on a series of UK performances that included performing at the famed Wembley Arena.

With their international fan-base growing, 2016 saw JAGMAC support ‘Little Mix’ on their sold out UK arena tour, and the group's heart-thumping track, “Soldiers” climbed to #15 on Billboard’s Hot Club Chart! Soon after, JAGMAC were invited to perform at ‘Promo Only Summer Sessions’ in Atlantic City, one of America’s most exciting industry showcases! The siblings performed for A-list US radio programmers, producers, DJs and record executives, following in the footsteps of past 'Summer Sessions’ performers that included Lady Gaga, BeBe Rexha, Timbaland, and Rita Ora.

In 2017 the group made their Los Angeles debut, performing at the ‘Young Entertainer Awards’ at Universal Studios. And while Disney Radio kept JAGMAC’s single “So Good” in rotation, they began recording new music with Grammy Award-winning artist, Theron Feemster (Neff-U), Graham Edwards (Justin Bieber, Rihanna), and Tommy Hubbard (The Trust Group).

JAGMAC is currently in Los Angeles working on their newest project and preparing for their 2018 summer tour. When they’re not on the road, the siblings reside at their home in Baltimore, MD, teach martial arts, and cook lots of family meals ... as they prepare for musical world domination!

Jon Vinyl - "Storm"

May 15, 2018 by N3 On The Track in Music, R&B/Soul

Following the upbeat, feel-good anthem of his recent single “Cherry Blossom,” Vinyl steps into a new realm of intimacy and vulnerability with the release of “Storm.” Drawing on his love life, the single is a reflection of Vinyl’s hopefulness in pursuing a relationship that can last through times of adversity. He describes the song - layered with soulful melodies - as a subtle metaphor for the many phases that are encountered in a romantic relationship.

Feiertag - "Run Away" (ft. Pip Millett)

May 15, 2018 by N3 On The Track in Music, Electronic

Feiertag is the alter ego of Dutch drummer and producer Joris Feiertag. His new single ‘Run Away (ft. Pip Millett)’ marks the first release from his forthcoming EP, to be released via Majestic Casual Records.

Feiertag has been making his mark, having played festivals including PITCH, Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE), Eurosonic and Down The Rabbit Hole. He has also released music on labels such as Kraak & Smaak’s imprint Boogie Angst, Kitsuné, Sasha’s ‘Last Night On Earth’, SVNSET Waves and Mike Mago’s ‘BMKLTSCH Records’. 

With a sound that can be described as electronic yet warm, with a preference for innovative syncopated rhythms and poppy melodies with the help of unique vocal features, Feiertag has garnered support from leading international taste makers including KCRW, Pete Tong, Dancing Astronaut, Discobelle, Stereofox, Mixmag, We Plug Good Music and Trndmusik among others.

Enlisting the soulful and sultry vocal talents of UK based Pip Millett, 'Run Away' takes the listener on a journey through a syncopated soundscape driven by the narrative of standing strong in the face of adversity. 

‘Pip's unique sound worked perfectly with the instrumental I created and formed this song effortlessly. The vibe of the track resembles the relaxed collaboration that came forth from Pip's unique vocals and my melodic instrumental. First time working with Pip generated an instant response and I can't wait to share this with all of you.’ - Feiertag

Noah Carter - "Search"

May 15, 2018 by N3 On The Track in Music, Reggae, Dancehall, Indie Pop

Noah Carter is already a legend on the Danish hip-hop scene, but with his new single and mixtape the 25 year old Copenhagen-born rapper has announced himself on the world stage.

Rapping in English and with a brooding, melancholic sonic palate inspired by artists such as Drake as his OVO crew, Noah Carter has the ability to deliver both heavy trap bangers and reflective, R&B-leaning anthems.

Taken from his brand new mixtape 2nd Demo, lead single, ‘Search’ falls very much into the latter of these categories, with Carter’s introspective flows paired alongside a heady, atmospheric beat.

Search was added to Apple Music’s Breaking Hip-hop playlist last week, and is surely the start of Noah Carter’s move into the US, Europe and beyond.

Vasser premieres new single, 'Valerians'

May 15, 2018 by N3 On The Track in Music

Vasser returns today with brand new single 'Valerians'. This follows debut EP 'A Telling End', which saw the young singer, producer and multi-instrumentalist pick up support across the likes of Radio 1, 1xtra, BBC Introducing and surpass 3 million early streams. News of Vasser's second EP will follow soon.

'Valerians' marks a further step out of the shadows for Vasser, though its primary influence is in fact those darkest hours themselves: the track takes its title from the sleeping tablets of the same name, but effectively explores the death of a relationship and the clarity thereafter which can cut through the most crowded mind (waking you up in more ways than one). It's these moments of late-night lucidity which feel most apparent across 'Valerians', whose nuanced mix of organic textures, atmospheric electronics and an increasingly confident focus on songwriting and vocals easily marks it out asVasser's most distinct release to date.

 

Still just 19 years old, Vasser's work is already showing a curious eye for isolation, community and creativity. At home, the choice between a more artistic (but insular) life was apparent from an early age: whilst the London underground beats scene which Vasser aspired to seemed unreachable from the family's sleepy commuter-town, more immediate inspiration came from his mother, a German-born oil-painter who would work downstairs between Vasser's bass-heavy, studio shifts in the bedroom upstairs. Here he started writing songs in earnest around both his final exams and first serious breakup, beginning with the intense, introverted 'Whatever You Want'. Marching to (and producing) your own beat was further instilled by spotting the connections between subcultures Vasser loved: James Blake's cover of 'A Case Of You' opened a window to the work of Joni Mitchell, for instance, before the burgeoning Soundcloud community and DIY ethos of Youtube tutorials broke down any geographical or genre-based walls separating early dub or UK rap from dance producers like Floating Points and Jon Hopkins. 

 

Now, the freedoms and frustrations of where Vasser - and indeed any new artist in 2018 - finds himself has proved to be a growing influence in itself. One of the first generation of producers to genuinely have it all at your fingertips, the duty to truly connect is not lost on Vasser: his suitably fluid artist-name variously seems to nod to both his German heritage, proudly immigrant mother, and the desire to write fully-formed songs - not just beats - which travel. "I've realised," says Vasser, "that you can involve other people without compromising on the desire to do everything yourself. I've been born in an age where you if you work hard, you can basically sound however you want - all it takes is time. And not being exposed to a massive social life through spending time on music has actually helped me express myself better."  

 

A shining new light in a circle of young artists who may feel alone (but are in fact more together than ever), this year will take Vasser firmly out of his own head and into a brightly uncertain future.

After listening to this record I felt so good. It cleared my mind from so much bull shit. The record is from LA artist MVTTHIAS. His record "Outsiders" and it features Michael Christmas. If you do not know about Michael he's from Boston. He was once cosigned by Mac Miller. This record "Outsiders" is about leaving your everyday life and getting away. The beat stands out and feels very organic. Nothing here is copied it very original. Catch these west coast vibes today and listen below.

Business Gang Brings a New Flavor to Trap

May 14, 2018 by Guest User

Walking down a road, in the club, or just opening your ears to the city around you, chances are you’ll hear the upbeat electronic percussion, the use of rapid high hats, brass and horn samples, and 808-style bass and drum styles. This very recognizable formula is known as Trap, which is a form of Hip-Hop that is dominating over every other form of mainstream music today. Business Gang is a trap duo that is paving their own unique path to global greatness. The group consists of Sevigney Avila and Andrew Chandler, or better known by their stage names Petro Sonny and OSO Da Man, who bring an intoxicating approach to their music that makes you want to party. Their new single “Oops, I did it again” is their take on the legendary Brittany Spears’ version but with more, well, trapping. They have nothing but big plans from this point out, and we expect nothing short of success, so make sure to give them your support.

Karim Tanoé makes us ‘Feel Away’ in “Evaporated People”

May 14, 2018 by Guest User

Last week, Karim Tanoé made us dance with his track “Eros Murmur”, and this week he gets more introspective with “Evaporated People”. The track, which is the fourth installment off his conceptual mixtape The Next Step that is being released one song at a time, takes a deep philosophical turn. The album is Karim’s personal documentation of the inner struggle between the realist and the dreamer, and the realist takes center stage on this one. The track’s lyrical content documents the uncertainties that a student experiences upon graduation, touching upon the themes of alienation and social status. The dreamer makes his appearance in the latter half of the song, bringing hope to a realist on the brink of despair. “Evaporated People” is yet another highlight of the collection so far and beautifully captures the conceptual nature of the mixtape.

His music has potential but he's still working on the business side of things. He goes by Sinario and he's a little cocky and over confident. Sinario will gain more of an audience once he listens. But in the meantime he has a record called "Third Person" that's making noise. He's based out of San Diego and everone wants to see him win.
