The Two Fake Blondes – “Holy Spirit Lead”

Husband and wife duo The Two Fake Blondes are a couple on fire with a mission to spread joy as far and as wide as possible. Their music has found its way onto SiriusXM, in rotation on billboard charting radio station c89.5, as well as heavy editorial support from numerous Spotify playlists that has attributed to them over 1M combined streams across DSPs. They are excited to release their first single of 2024, titled “Holy Spirit Lead” – which Spotify added to their ‘New Music Friday Christian’ playlist. Inspired by their experience leading worship together, “Holy Spirit Lead” originally began as an acoustic worship track that The Two Fake Blondes eventually transformed into a transcendent dance music anthem. The track’s electrifying beats and uplifting melodies serve as a powerful backdrop for lyrics that inspire awe and surrender to God. Sharing their thoughts:

“We wrote this song while we were temporarily leading worship for a small, passionate congregation. While written originally as an acoustic worship track, this drum and bass track emotionally lifts the spirit, while the lyrics put one on their knees in awe and surrender to the God most high. We wanted to create a richness that wraps the longing for Christ’s guidance with the deepness of a soaring melodic hallelujah, something that can resonate with fans of both Christian and Electronic music.”

ARTIFACT – “Return Of The Dead” EP

ARTIFACT, the force in the electronic music scene, is set to make seismic waves with the release of his latest EP, ‘Return Of The Dead.’ This highly anticipated EP features four electrifying tracks – ‘Demon Slayer,’ ‘Gatekeeper,’ ‘Jump Scare,’ and ‘Night Vision.’ Warning! This EP is highly addictive as listeners are taken on an unforgettable and immersive journey through the realms of dubstep, riddim, and even drum and bass.

Having previously captivated audiences with the groundbreaking “King Of The Dead,” a collaborative effort showcasing ARTIFACT’s distinct production style alongside Chris Calyx’s sonic innovation, the artist continues to push boundaries and redefine genres. Hailing from Sydney, Australia, ARTIFACT first emerged onto the global stage with the smash hit “Extinction,” rapidly solidifying his position in the industry. Fresh off the heels of successful releases on High Caliber Records, Subsidia, DirtySnatcha
Records, and Syndicate Bass Records, and with several major label releases on the horizon, ARTIFACT is poised to dominate the electronic music landscape with the release of this high-energy EP. Taking full control of his global fan base with monstrous basslines, infectious melodies, and alarming instrumentals, ARTIFACT is taking over the bass and dubstep scene on release at a time.

AVANCE –  “CREATION OF DISGUST”

In the depths of the sonic abyss, “CREATION OF DISGUST” pushes into the darkest and heaviest corners of the riddim genre. This EP, crafted by the enigmatic AVANCE, weaves a tale of revelation and darkness. Through past releases it has been revealed that, all his life, AVANCE has been haunted by a specter, a demon named Odious, whose origin was as mysterious as the night itself. Through the alchemy of sound, AVANCE delves into the heart of his terror, uncovering a truth more harrowing than the demon’s pursuit: he is the architect of his own nightmare. Teaming with Qoiet, a metal/rocktronic artist known for his brutal vocal timbre, they created a nightmare, mixing distorted drums, sinister melodies, and foreboding soundscapes to render what we have upon us today. Each element, meticulously chosen, pushes the boundaries of comfort, yet irresistibly draws listeners into its dark embrace.

In “CREATION OF DISGUST,” AVANCE confronts the demon within, crafting a tale of horror and revelation. This is a descent into the psyche of its creator, marking a monumental chapter in AVANCE’s odyssey through the realms of sound and fear.

Meridian & Patrick Scott – “Never Look Back“

With subtle guitar chords plucking, emotional melodic in the ether, and deeply meaningful vocals steaming out of the speakers, Meridian and Patrick Scott encapsulate the age-old saying ‘the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.’ More directly, the joint effort of the production styles of Meridian and the vibrant vocal work of Patrick Scott is an unequivocally infectious combination

“Never Look Back,” emerges from a profound collaboration that started in 2017, underscoring the dynamics of trust and vulnerability in love. The track delves into the daunting process of opening up to someone, highlighting the inherent fears of exposing one’s insecurities and the potential of love when those barriers are crossed. The essence of the song lies in encouraging a partner to embrace love, despite the uncertainties it brings. This narrative is not just a reflection of romantic endeavors but also mirrors the artists’ journey of mutual trust and creativity. Their partnership, initiated by a chance recommendation from Patrick’s brother, has flourished over the years, marked by a seamless blend of Meridian’s compelling compositions and Patrick’s evocative vocals. Their synergy is not just a start example to their individual talents but a shared vision of music’s power to convey deep emotional truths. “Never Look Back” stands as a milestone in their ongoing musical voyage, inviting listeners to experience the beauty of love’s leap of faith.

Eater – “Master” EP

Eater, a rising force in bass music, has garnered support from BBC Radio One and Zeds Dead, solidifying his rapid rise. His latest EP, “Master,” released via the esteemed Florida bass label Wubaholics, features the title track and the adrenaline-inducing “Melt Your Brain ft. K.V.N.” This release underscores Eater’s status as one of the most promising talents and forward-thinking producers in the scene.

The title track sets a mysterious tone with eerie ambiance and haunting pads, enhanced by a voice akin to a transmission from another realm. Tension escalates throughout the track, leading to a massive drop layered with captivating bass tones. Meanwhile, “Melt Your Brain ft. K.V.N.” combines explosive bass with K.V.N.’s dynamic rap verses, crafting a force that’s impossible to resist. The EP showcases Eater’s versatility and reason why all eyes and ears should be on this artist. As he shares:

“Prepare for what is without a doubt my best work so far. This EP is the perfect combination between the evolution of the Eater soundscape and a new wave of collaborations. I’m honored to be able to showcase all of it with the amazing team at Wubaholics!”

Rich Delinquent has proven himself as a rising pop sensation from Australia and he is back yet again with a promising EP, ‘Here’s To Dystopia.’ The EP kicks off with the title track ft. Riley, a haunting exploration of societal disillusionment and the pharmaceutical industry’s impact on mental health. The lyrics boldly declare, “Stop, society has let us down. Stop medicating until we drown. I will only sabotage myself… Here’s to dystopia, we’re in control of ya.” Rich Delinquent fearlessly calls out the issues plaguing society and the detrimental effects of overmedication. The emotionally raw “Speak Up” features Emmy Mack (lead singer of popular rock band Redhook) and takes listeners on a heart-wrenching journey through a breakup. With lyrics like “how do you speak up in silence? I know that I killed the romance,” Rich Delinquent exposes vulnerability and emotional depth complimented by soft, somewhat distant melodies that sway back and forth.

Capping off the EP is the pop anthem “Where’s the Exit,” a collaboration with the rising Aussie band Lakelend. The track delves into the realms of yearning, addictive desires, and the risk of falling in love, all set against a backdrop of moody, infectious melodies and a compelling pop beat. Known for his vivid songwriting and mesmeric production, Rich Delinquent yet again delivers a fresh and forward thinking release to the emotronic genre with ‘Here’s To Dystopia’. He’s drawn comparisons in the past to The Weeknd, especially from his iconic House of Balloons era, and rightfully so, as his production with gripping narratives have set him apart from the rest, solidifying his position as one of today’s brightest emerging pop stars.
