“It’s a strong single after a four-year absence, showcasing Tre’s prowess with both production and songwriting as well as his cross-Atlantic influences.” – Complex
“‘Hockey’ plays like a warning shot…It’s not easy to find the cool in Canada’s national sport, but Tre Mission, as always, makes it work.” – FADER
“Tre has been known to push the boundaries, which has marked him out as one of grime’s go-to producers over the years.” – TRENCH
Toronto/UK JUNO-nominated grime veteran, Tre Mission, returns with a video for new track, Hockey. The song marks the first single from his forthcoming album, Orphan Black, due in 2019 via Last Gang Records. Premiering exclusively via Complex, the video was filmed in the Greater Toronto Area, directed by Dan Lemoyne. Watch it here.
Orphan Black is Tre’s follow up to his recent Bare Selection-released instrumental project, Bare Selection 001, and his first full-length release since 2014’s Stigmata and Tizzy Gang collaboration (alongside Merky ACE and Cadell), Opps Next Door (2017). His debut album, Stigmata, was nominated for Rap Recording of the Year at the 2015 JUNO Awards, and featured Wiley, JME, Skepta, Merky Ace, Saukrates, Andreena Mill and k-os. Tre is the founding member of Tizzy Gang –a grime collective of London based artists and producers, featuring Merky Ace, Cadell, Vic Santoro and Nasty Jack.
In 2013, Tre jumped on to the grime scene with his critically acclaimed mixtape, Malmaison, and since then, has been a prolific producer and artist that has garnered an expansive following and musical repertoire, from his homebase in Toronto and across the pond in the UK. Tre has opened for the likes of Kenrick Lamar, J.Cole, Isaiah Rashad, Joey Badass, Earl Sweatshirt, Kaytranada, Tinie Tempah and Skepta, amongst others, and was the opening act on Wiley’s headlining Elusive Tour in 2011.
Orphan Black is a bold comeback for Tre, through its songwriting, production, collaborations and thoughtful approach. Stay tuned for more sounds and news on the way.

Emerging Toronto-based Tallies are sharing their new single & video “Easy Enough“, which is taken from their debut self-titled album, due out 11th Jan via Fear of Missing Out Records.
Christopher Mills, who directed the video for “Easy Enough” & has previously worked with the likes of Interpol, Broken Social Scene & Metric, said “Layers of milky video imagery, washes of colour distorted glass, shoes and horses are the video “reverb” to this wonderful, washy, echo-y tune that makes me want to blow dry my hair all day long, and imagine that I’m racing over the grand canyon in one of the best flying dreams ever. Tallies came to my little studio and jammed, goofed around, and did stupid things with me in front of the camera. They sang the lyrics with their eyes, and used one of my Junos to distort each others images in this gorgeous uplifting song that will make you want to jump in the leaves, or the snow for a whole afternoon.”
Tallies navigate an unfamiliar world on their confident self-titled debut album, which blends elements of shoegaze, dream pop, and surf rock into a fresh sound that’s all their own. Tallies is Sarah Cogan (vocals, rhythm guitar), Dylan Frankland (lead guitar), Cian O’Neill (drums), and Stephen Pitman (bass).
Cogan started music lessons at a young age, learning simple piano melodies and guitar chords that she could sing and write lyrics over. Frankland has also been immersed in music for most of his life, growing up with a music-obsessed father who introduced him to greats like The Smiths, The Sundays, Aztec Camera, and Cocteau Twins. He subconsciously carried these influences into Tallies, which is evident in the Johnny Marr stylings of his guitar riffs and the Robin Guthrie-tinged shoegaze textures of his production. “While writing this album, we were listening to The Sundays Reading, Writing and Arithmetic a lot,” says Frankland, adding, “Harriet Wheeler’s soft-spokenly sweet melodies has a major influence on where Sarah sometimes takes her writing to.”
The album was co-produced by Frankland and Josh Korody at Toronto’s Candle Recordings, a hot spot where locals like Metz, Dilly Dally, Austra, and Weaves have made indie classics. It’s also where Frankland works as an engineer/producer. With upbeat percussion, melodic bass riffs, and magnetic guitar leads, Tallies puts one-of-a-kind melodies to the universal impact of adulthood hitting you square in the face.

Rampage 2019 Weekend

Antwerp, Belgium

Rampage is the biggest drum & bass and dubstep party in the world and it returns to the Belgian city of Antwerp from March 29th to 30th for the 10th anniversary of the event, with another monstrous line-up featuring the likes of Excision, Andy C, Sub Focus, Wilkinson, Dimension, Funtcase, Dion Timmer, DJ Hazard, Herobust, Murdock, Macky Gee, DJ Hype, Alix Perez, Drumsound & Bassline Smith, Dubloadz, Feint, Fox Stevenson, Koven, MC Mote, Spag Heddy, Tantrum, Desire, and tens more.
Always one of Europe’s biggest gatherings, the event successfully expanded to two days in 2018 and does so again this year with more than 30,000 people expected to attend each day, flying in from more than 55 different countries. To match the huge scale of the event, the line-up is equally giant with the biggest names in the scene, from fresh up and comers to enduring legends. Audio visual production is also out of this world and is part of the reason this event has become such a regular pilgrimage for drum & bass fans around the world.
All this goes down at The Antwerp Sportpaleis, one of Europe’s largest indoor spaces and one that becomes a mesmeric and immersive rave haven thanks to the light, lazer and visuals production that’s on the level of Tomorrowland, Awakenings and EDC, or even surpasses it.
Heading things up is Excision, the North-American producer who has become the most in-demand artist in the bass music world, largely thanks to an insane level of visuals and production, which he will all bring to Rampage. He has released on deadmau5’s mau5trap label but has mainly been pushing his music on his own imprint and in late 2018 he released his fourth studio album Apex. He’s been at the forefront of a musical revolution that has squashed all competition in North America and is bringing through tons of new artists.
Sub Focus and Wilkinson had a huge summer playing for Together in Ibiza so bring their widescreen bag of multi-genre tricks, Critical Music and Shogun Audio star Alix Perez is one of drum & bass’s most revered and stylistically hard to pin down producers and then come legends like DJ Hype as well as Ram Records boss Andy C who is a long time godfather of the scene, and DJ Hazard, a close Playaz and Ganja Records associate who has defined the scene for twenty years and played regularly at Fabric with the famous Playaz party. You can also look forward to hot young stars like Feint from Liquicity Records and Monstercatt, liquid, dubstep and house producer Fox Stevenson plus Funtcase, who played at Rampage 2018 and was one of the year’s standout acts.
For big bass look no further than Herobust from Mad Decent, while founding father Murdock brings his fresh club styles and jump up man Macky Gee is coming off the back of his fourth and most confident album to date. Tens more names like Dubloadz, Drumsound & Bassline Smith, Fox Stevenson, Benny L, Bredren, Bukez Finezt, Infekt, K Motionz, Muzzy, Signal and Skeptical all bring a broad array of styles to complete this famously supersized party, and these are not even half of all the acts that will be playing the Rampage 2019 Weekend.
The countdown is now on to Rampage 2019, which promises to be the biggest and best edition yet.

Following the recent announcement of new album ‘Psychogeology’ for release on February 15th 2019 via Bronzerat, Essex-raised, Berlin-based Gemma Ray has shared new tour dates, including a UK run in March.
The newly announced dates are:
Feb 28: Ramsgate Music Hall
Mar 1: Leek, Foxlowe Arts Centre
Mar 2: Hebden Bridge, Trades Club
Mar 3: Newcastle, Cobalt
Mar 5: London, Dalston Victoria
While others have, in recent years, helped popularise the term ‘psychogeography’ – the urge to explore the urban environment and its impact, consciously and subconsciously – Ray is drawn to the time-defying, time-defining outcrops that exist beyond our cities, and the manner in which this natural architecture underlines “how small we are, how trivial the most unsurmountable of our personal problems”.
The first glimpse at this self-produced new album is the reverb-drenched, 70s pop swagger of “Blossom Crawls”, scattered with echoes of Fleetwood Mac, which tackles a specific incident – a panic attack in the back of a taxi – her overwrought sensation that “Blossom crawls back into its buds” transformed into an affirmative resolution to “put a stop to its cruel tricks/ Gonna get there first to soften the hit”.
The word ‘rock’ has many connotations, but for Gemma Ray, the most important is probably not the one you’d expect most musicians to nurse. The Essex-raised, Berlin-based singer and songwriter clings to its most fundamental definition, insisting that, when she takes to the road – as she did almost unremittingly in the year following the release of her last album, 2016’s acclaimed ‘The Exodus Suite’ – she find the time to explore the landscape that touring can reveal. In Ray‘s world, the word conjures up images of the grand, twisted formations she’s seen while travelling the world, whether in the immense deserts of the US or among the carved mountains of New Zealand.
It’s the development of Ray’s emotional connection to such spectacular scenes that lies deep at the heart of‘Psychogeology’, which, in keeping with its subject matter, represents Ray’s most ambitious release to date, its intricate arrangements and textures – including choral and string arrangements – the result of almost a year’s labour determinedly hewn from rare periods of time available between tours. The album, she says, is “an ode to the majesty of landscape, the enormity of nature and time, and the inevitability of every human life eventually forming a minuscule part of further landscapes.”
Ray has worked alongside, among others, Sparks (who in fact produced Ray covering their own songs), Suicide’sAlan Vega (their collaboration turned out to be one of his final recordings), Howe Gelb (Giant Sand), Thomas Wydler (The Bad Seeds) and arranger Fiona Brice. She was also invited to perform with Potsdam, Germany’s legendary Filmorchester Babelsberg, and this December she’ll join them again, this time with Peaches, Einstürzende Neubauten’s Jochen Arbeit and other special guests as part of The Can Projekt, a celebration of ground-breaking ‘krautrock ‘pioneers Can taking place at Berlin’s famed Volksbühne Theatre.
‘Psychogeology’, however, documents Ray’s troubles, yet simultaneously expresses with zeal the ways in which she’s surmounted them to find her place in the world. On the timeless ‘Psychogeology’ – a journey that celebrates triumphs over tribulations – Gemma Ray offers rock for all ages.

1. Blossom Crawls (YouTube | Spotify)

3. It’s Only Loneliness
4. In Colour

The last month of the year is here and elrow Music wants to start the celebration early, with the release of its ERM 145th reference, in the form of a Various Artists EP. And this isn’t just any other EP. ‘elrow In Stereo Vol.1′ is the first collaboration between yours truly, elrow Music, and Stereo Productions, the worldwide recognized platform of Chus & Ceballos. In this first take, the Stereo crew has taken over our headquarters and have tailored a high rolling EP, with tracks by Chus & Ceballos with Melé, Danny Serrano, David Herrero and Rafa Barrios – all of them, familiar faces of the Stereo family -. Without a question, one of the big highlights of this V.A. is Chus & Ceballos collab with Melé, showing off their studio trickery. ‘Galera (Original Mix)‘ is the track, that starts with a shy energy, but thanks to the African percussion, the atmosphere and melodies that guide the track, the chanted vocals and the overall progression its turn itself into a techy beast, perfect for peak times on the dancefloor. Danny Serrano‘s take is perfectly recognizable in ‘Levy’s Tale (Original Mix)‘, a straight, pitch down, tech house affair, that breks into madness after a great vocal momentum. On the other hand, David Herrero‘s ‘Rokhaus (Original Mix)‘ has a more techno-like vibe, with a darker atmosphere but keeping the housy progression, topped by a great vocal line that appears by the end of the track. With the same kind of vibe, Rafa Barrios takes part in the EP with ‘Kalengo (Original Mix)‘, a deep tech house kind of track, with a truly amazing organ momentum just in the middle of the song, that breaks into total madness making this another outstanding dancefloor bomb. And keep tunes, as this story will continue with our takeover of Stereo Productions! Watch this space!

Following last year’s debut 6th Street Psychosis, London band Tokyo Taboo have now announced their highly anticipated second album. Taken from the album, new single No Pleasure Only Pain is about the animal attraction you feel for someone even when you know they will only cause you pain, No Pleasure Only Pain rages with the band’s trademark ferocity as whirring hooks race alongside tremendous beats and the immense power of front-woman Dolly Daggerz’ vocals.

“A unique perspective, both musically and lyrically.” – EARMILK
“With his supernatural voice and his lo-fi productions, the young singer and producer might very well impose himself on the British music scene.” – Konbini
“ONUR really cannot be put into a box and that’s really a great thing to be able to say.” – Fashionably Early
“The sensual, chill vibes you’ve been looking for.” – EUPHORIA
ONUR continues to peel the layers of his heart and art with his new single I Don’t Know Why I Fall In Love, available on all streaming platforms on November 26.
Drawing on 90’s rnb and Latin music influences, the 22-year-old versatile artist reflects with despair on past embraces with a former partner, lamenting a passion that is now long gone. “The song started as this Latin style track, because I think that those Argentinian style strings you hear in tango and the likes always have this romance and passion behind it”, describes ONUR who wrote and produced the languid last dance. “Carrying on from the theme of my break-up and me not getting over it, I Don’t Know Why I Fall In Love reflects on my thoughts of her a while after the relationship ended, and how I’m still stuck in heartbreak, yet don’t want to be, therefore blaming myself for being in love, he says of the track ending on a new tempo with an explosive and brassy drop. I wanted this song to be way more intimate so it came across more like an open letter to her. Music, to me, is a visual experience, even if the track doesn’t have visuals. And with this song, I just imagine the idea of her.”
ONUR launched his career with the singles Beamin’ and Stunnah after an extensive time spent on various renowned stages. The Londoner has already attracted rave reviews and support from EARMILK, Konbini, Cosmopolitan, Lost Culture, Martin Garrix, KRCW and many more. ONUR’s highly anticipated debut EP is scheduled for early 2019.

Since day one, DJ and production duo Catz ‘n Dogz, have prided themselves on their appreciation for life. Well known for their unique production-style, the duo returned with their final transmission of 2018. This time, it’s all about the core fundamentals that have brought them so far; Friendship, trust and love. Without them they wouldn’t thrive. Channeling this, ‘The Choice’ EP sends out the message of how we live is ‘The Choice’ we all have to make; Take what you do seriously but don’t take life too seriously. A bold statement against insular club culture, closed minds and lack of innovation.
As we enter the final month of the year, they revisit the EP and deliver a video for the Miss Bunty Vocal Mix. Featuring Miss Bunty herself, the video takes an opportunity to reflect upon the year they’ve had and delivers a clear message from the Polish Duo:
“Despite the difficulty’s life may throw at us, all we need is Love and the support of good people around us. In our case, Friendship is what has made Catz ‘n Dogz Work for over 11 years now. Keep on making ‘The Choice’”

Australian pop artist Phil Hancock today released the music video for his latest single, “Heaven”. His first release in over 4 years, “Heaven” marks the opening chapter to a collection of pop gems being released by Phil throughout 2019.
“Heaven” explores the breakdown of a relationship – the pain, confusion and desperation in being left alone and the lengths you’d go to just to be with that person.
In the video, Phil performs the song alone in darkened rooms as objects come crashing down around him. Meanwhile, featured dancer Kelsey Riachi gives a heartbreaking interpretative dance to the song.
“I wanted the video to feel dark and claustrophobic,” he says, “to evoke that feeling of being empty and hurt by the departure of someone close to you.”
Released independently, “Heaven” has, in a few weeks, amassed over 30,000 streams across YouTube, Spotify and Apple Music, and it continues to grow.
Originally a songwriter to other artists behind the scenes, Phil says it’s time to step out to tell his own stories and share his journey as an independent gay pop artist in Brisbane, Australia.
He’s spent the past three years publishing a discography of relaxing piano music, performing traditional Balkan music throughout Europe and America, as well as producing and writing songs for other performers. He’s put all that behind him now to take a shot at being a pop artist in his own right.
2018 has been a rollercoaster year of change and growth, and Phil is pouring it all into this next chapter of music. Describing his new sound, Phil says it is “dance-’til-you-cry music.”

“The remix is a bubbling, perpetually evolving piece of electronics, something that refuses to settle in one place” – Clash Magazine
For years now Xinobi has been the staple of the Portuguese electronic music scene, dominating that deep house and techno sound has seen him make a mark not only in his own country but right across Europe and further afar.
As another incredibly busy and rewarding year for draws to a close, he is pleased announce that he will be closing out the year with the release of the long-awaited Rampa Remix of his runaway hit, ‘Far Away Place’. Taken from last year’s sophomore album ‘On The Quiet’, ‘Far Away Place’ has since taken Xinobi a thrilling journey, pleasing crowds the world over and amassing close to five million streams.
Xinobi says: ““This song already has a reputation and I am really happy with this collaboration. I have recieived countless messages and requests for this one ever since Rampa has been including it in his DJ sets and on keinemusik radio shows. We deliberately left it shrouded in mystery but I am thrilled people have been able to discover it organically, so it made sense to finally release it”
The song’s reputation is set to be cemented with this collaboration. Rampa, needs no introduction, similarly neither does this remix, with it already having become an exclusive staple of Rampa’s live set’s, often shrouded in mystery, it has gained a cult following with Xinobi receiving countless messages and requests as to its identity.
Since 2009, Rampa made a name of himself through Keinemusik, his own little d.i.y.-cosmos, being not only label, but also crew of likeminded DJs, producers and friends. The teamwork within this realm has seen a serious number of premier productions and collaborations, particularly with fellow producer &ME, not to forget the rest of the bunch, Adam Port, Reznik and Monja, Ry X, Honey Dijon and Pastaboys. With a huge array of collaborations and releases already under his belt, put out on imprints like Cocoon, Innervisions, Freerange, Crosstown Rebels. When it comes to DJing, he often adopts a less is more approach believing that consciousness is more essential to his artistic persona than ever before. A fact that evidently communicates through his music.
Despite Xinobi’s appetite for devouring various sounds and genres, there is a unique watermark and consistency to his output, due not least to his musical and arrangement-based skills. After releasing a few solid ep’s and two full lengths album’s Xinobi has gained real recognition among established and well-known artists and opinion-makers, and his underground cult has amplified.
Together they are excited to finally reveal and release this remix, as Rampa joins Jody Wisternoff & James Grant, Tensnake, Pete Herbert and many others in a long line of artists who have remixed the song only adding to its story and acclaim.
Xinobi’s ‘Far Away Place’ (Rampa Remix) will be released on November 30th, through Xinobi’s ever-growing influential label Discotexas.
