DAYA Releases New Pop-Electronic Single “Don’t Call”

GRAMMY-winning Artist DAYA Releases Lyrically Powerful Pop-Electronic Crossover Single “Don’t Call” On Spinnin’ Records/Warner Music

 

Artist: DAYA
Title: Don’t Call
Label: Spinnin’ Records/Warner Music

Download / Stream

GRAMMY-winning artist DAYA returns with her new single “Don’t Call,” an emotive pop ballad that also finds the young superstar experimenting across genres with electronic production elements. From a vocal perspective, DAYA‘s soulful and ethereal voice shines as she croons the heartfelt (and highly relatable) lyrics about trying your best to get over someone, and the instrumental elements begin with soft, organic chords and grow into a light drum’n’bass influence during the track’s most powerful moments. The American songstress coupled the release of “Don’t Call” with a listening party in Los Angeles on June 27th, the day before its official release. Don’t miss the chance to be among the first to hear “Don’t Call,” which is guaranteed to be receiving heavy radio play this summer.

“‘Don’t Call‘ has had this magical pull ever since we created it and I’m so excited for it to be out. It feels like a song I’ve always wanted to put into the world and a big emotional release for me; I hope people will feel that in the music.” – DAYA

DAYA

A Pittsburgh native with a passion for music since childhood, Daya practically lived on stage since childhood, wielding her songwriting talent from a young age. Her self-penned, synth-pop anthem “Hide Away” became a double-platinum hit before she turned 20, even earning her a GRAMMY. Collaborating with The Chainsmokers on the global smash “Don’t Let Me Down” solidified her pop stardom, with the track reaching #3 on the Hot 100 chart. Despite major-label success, Daya craved creative control. Releasing critically acclaimed EPs, she showcased her evolving sound – a blend of pop, R&B, and electronic influences. This artistic journey reflects a yearning to reclaim her teenage years, which she missed due to early career demands. Now, she infuses her music with youthful exploration, venturing into folk, pop-punk, and alternative. A prolific collaborator, DAYA seamlessly blends genres, as seen in her Top 40 Canadian hit “Love You More” with Felix Cartal. Daya‘s infectious energy extends beyond the studio. She’s captivated audiences with performances on The Today Show, Good Morning America, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and The Late Late Show with James Corden, among others.  With a strong social media presence boasting over 3,8M followers and a dedicated fanbase heavily skewed towards Gen Z and the LGBTQ+ community, DAYA‘s music continues to resonate with a global audience.

Spag Heddy’s New EP "The Big Boil" Out Now

Spag Heddy’s New EP “The Big Boil” Out Now

by the partae June 29, 2024
written by the partae

Artist: Spag Heddy
Title: The Big Boil EP
Label: Tomato Bass
 

Attention, Pastafarians – your head chef returns, and this time Spag Heddy has cooked up a delectable five-course dinner menu in the form of his newest project, “The Big Boil” EP. The spaghetti master himself has been pretty quiet since last year’s release of his debut album “The Noodle Effect,” and now he’s serving up some heavy-hitting tunes that bring him back to his roots. The EP is off to an epic start with the ominous tone of  “Revenge of the Meatballs,” and things start really heating up with the combination of stabbing synths, grinding mechanical bass and otherworldly vocals between the first and second track “Gameplay.” The reverence continues with “R’amen,” which weaves in some pseudo-religious hymns with devastating beats and digitized melodies, while “Get ‘Em” is the EP’s certified hype track for the club or the gym. Spag Heddy closes “The Big Boil” out with the victory cry that is “Sonic Beef,” where one can almost imagine the universe itself forming. Old school fans will love the dose of nostalgia that Spag going back to his original sound brings, while newer bassheads will delight in exploring the sonic feast that is this EP. Check out the dates below to see when you can catch a session of the Church of The Flying Spaghetti Monster live soon.

“It’s been a year since I released my debut album, so it is high time for a new body of work. With ‘The Noodle Effect,’ I showcased more of myself and brought a variety of styles to the table that I had not shown before. In the void that came after the release of it, I’ve taken time off to reflect on my music path and gone back to find inspiration in places where I would look in the early days of my career. Eptic, Skrillex, Knife Party, are some of the main musical influences for the spirit of ‘The Big Boil‘ EP, as well as very old (unfinished) songs of myself. This EP feels like Spag Heddy 2.0, continuing where I left off but with a refined recipe.” – Spag Heddy

Jun 28 – Tempe, AZ – Sunbar Tempe
Jun 29 – Tuscon, AZ – Gentle Ben’s Brewing
Jul 05 – Lommel, BE – Rampage Open Air 2024
Aug 24 – Budapest, HU – A38 Roof Terrace

The Netherlands-born and Spain-based Spag Heddy has been cooking up dubstep hits since 2011, when his club bangers quickly got the attention of fans and industry tastemakers alike. With Skrillex, Rusko, Excision and others counted among his inspirations, Spag has gained widespread acclaim for his hard-hitting and yet melodic style that always feels fresh and forward-thinking. He has multiple successful singles as well as remixes and collaborations for The Chainsmokers, Krewella, SLANDER, and originals that can be heard in sets of Skrillex, Excision, Subtronics, NGHTMRE and many other heavyweights. His high-energy, mesmerizing sets have earned him tours with Zomboy and Flux Pavilion as well as direct support for Excision and Zeds Dead, plus a number of his own headlining tours around the globe. Now on the eve of releasing his most exciting project to date, Spag Heddy is well on his way to the top.

Annika Catharina’s New Single “Bandit” Captures Hearts

by the partae June 27, 2024
written by the partae

WITH HER NEWEST COUNTRY SINGLE AND MUSIC VIDEO, ANNIKA CATHARINA’S STEADFAST COUNTRY SOUL ESPOUSES CHEEKY ROMANCE AND STEALS HEARTS LIKE A “BANDIT”

Canadian country artist Annika Catharina is celebrating the recent music video release for her current single “Bandit”.

Written by Amanda Couture and the song’s producers The Renaissance (Dan Botch and Garrett Ward), “Bandit” is the second single to drop this year from the Abbotsford, British Columbia-based artist. Beyond its romantic and picturesque storytelling, the country heart of “Bandit” is on display in a production that emphasizes Annika’s heartfelt vocals and layered harmonies alongside a rousing steel guitar. “Bandit” has earned over 75K Spotify streams and been featured on Spotify’s “Fresh Finds Country” editorial playlist along with Apple Music’s “Canada Country” editorial playlist.

The video, which was directed by Max Chadwick, captures the timeless nature of the song through its images of the artist.

Annika says, “To me, ‘Bandit’ is about wanting and desire. It speaks to the things we do for love, but in a cheeky and fun style. When I heard the demo for the first time, I fell in love. To bring it to life with The Renaissance, we worked hard to create an experience that could transport listeners into the moments that the ‘bandit’ is describing throughout the song.”

“Bandit” follows the rising artist’s smash single, “What if I”, which reached 150K streams on Spotify – landing on the editorial playlists “New Music Friday Country”, “Country Frontier”, “North Country”, “Next From Nashville”, “RADAR Canada”, and “EQUAL Canada” – and was placed on Apple Music “Canada’s Country” editorial playlist. “What if I” also reached #5 on SiriusXM Top of the Country Radio in Canada.

Annika’s exciting ascent in country music is a poignant testament to her own perseverance after a devastating accident and facial reconstruction surgery initially sidelined her musical pursuits as a young adult.

Since making the decision to continue forward, Annika is now basking in the light of her glowing country soul and poised to win more hearts with her new single.

She says, “Love is universal. At some point, we feel it and crave it. “Bandit” is for everyone who is determined to go above and beyond to steal someone’s heart in creative and romantic ways.”

“Bandit” is available on all digital streaming platforms. The music video is available on YouTube.

Phoenix Rein Debut Single "Spinning Around" Out June 28th
Music InterviewsMusic News

Spinning Around: Phoenix Rein’s Journey of Love and Music

by the partae June 25, 2024
written by the partae

Congratulations on your debut single “Spinning Around,” set to release on June 28th! How are you feeling as the release date approaches?

I feel like it’s a dream and sometimes I have to pinch myself, I feel both nervous, and excited along with a bunch of other feelings….

Can you tell us about the inspiration behind “Spinning Around” and what the song means to you personally?

The Inspiration is Love. Love of music. The love of being in love. The love of whatever makes us happy. For me, Spinning Around is a new beginning, freedom, laughter, joy, happiness, following our dreams and making them happen. 

Spinning Around started out as a beautiful concept about falling in love and falling in love with the music because music is the drum of romance.

What was the creative process like for “Spinning Around”? How did you come up with the lyrics and melody?

Well there was sort of a humming thing that happened in the studio, then The MD J Laws started playing around on the keys and I was like, “yeah that one”. The sounds on the keyboard reminded me of a time with my boo.

 The team Dank and Cybin felt the energy, then it started growing from there. It blossomed as a song about my love for DJ’s and falling in love while the music was playing and poof we had it. We re worked it a couple of times then we kind of nailed it. 

“Spinning Around” is a vibrant fusion of Disco Pop. What drew you to this genre for your debut single?

We felt the love of modern music in terms of popular music, is the new disco. So, I asked for some elements of disco because I really love the Bee Gees and Cher; big fan of both so I really wanted to fuse the two

How did your collaboration with the renowned producers Dank and Cybin come about, and what was it like working with them on this track?

Well it started off when I was introduced by a friend of ours and it was like Magic the Synergy was out of this world. 

When I met DJ Cybin, we immediately hit it off. I played him some music and he said “hey, you have a unique tone I’ve been searching for a tone like that for years” and he said he would get back to me. 

I honestly didn’t hear much back until 2 months later. Then we started working, and the whole crew has been amazing! 

It’s a vibe shout out to Dj Dank aka Riley for always pushing me as a singer.

You have a rich background in jazz, blues, and soul. How did these influences shape the sound and vibe of “Spinning Around”?

I really do. I honestly would listen to James Brown, Rick James and Nina Simone religiously and just go nuts and really have an amazing time hitting each of there wild and obscure cadences and belts. 

They all shaped this record for sure. Rest in peace to those greats. I’m eternally grateful . 

Can you describe the emotion and energy you aimed to capture in “Spinning Around”? How do you want listeners to feel when they hear it?

Well there really is two meanings to the song, with one emotion in common; love. I really wanted the listeners to re-fall in love with music and remember that falling in love with a person is similar to falling in love with a song.

 “Spinning Around” brings that enchanting feeling that really connects your ears and your heart. It’s similar to your lovers voice, you hear it and it touches your heart.

Growing up in Jamaica in a family of musicians, how has your upbringing influenced your music and your approach to creating “Spinning Around”? 

Spinning around really took me back to my roots of heavy bass and really hard hitting drums, it made me remember being in studio with Sly and Robbie. 

And then the beat brought me further back, I remembered, when I was a little kid, my Mom and my Aunt were always singing in the house. Even my Grandmother; I would wake up to the sounds of her singing. They would have the radio playing all the time and music of all genres would be booming from the living room. When I was hyper and running around dancing and singing, my momma always use to say I’m spinning like a top.

So when the words Spinning around hit me, and the melody exploded, we were saying yes this is it.

You’ve received numerous accolades for your performances and songwriting. How do these achievements impact your confidence and expectations for your debut single?

In my past, despite my achievements and performances, I was on a restricted path. Back then, I think no other producers were able to pull out my true talent and work with me like J and Riley. So, I was in a sense, still a blank canvas. Working with Dank & Cybin in studio really pulled out my studio performance and turned it up times 10.  

Also, this time I really got a chance to work with the true business side of things. I’m being taught the business from the inside out. Back then, I was lacking the experience, this time I’ve unleashed my true inner beast.

Really it’s nice to receive your flowers when you’re here, it lets you feel special and sort of gives you that confidence boost that reminds you of your special talents. I really write my heart out, now there’s the difference so I know that this single will touch the hearts and ears of many listeners for decades to come, and I can’t wait to perform it live for fans.

How does the experience of recording and releasing “Spinning Around” compare to performing live at prestigious events and festivals?

There’s this feeling that comes over me when I hear “Spinning Around” and when I was recording it, that’s the same feeling that bubbled out on the record. It’s Euphoric and contagious, it makes me smile every time. That’s the same as the experience of performing at live events; I want the audience to feel good, to have fun and to tap into the euphoria. 

With “Spinning Around” being your debut single, what message or impression do you hope to leave on new listeners and your existing fan base?

I hope for my fans and listeners to really take the song with them where ever they go and just have a good time. I want it to be the kind of happy song you hear and just allow it to set the mood for your day. I want the song to remind you of how sweet the love of music is and bring the listener back to a moment of remembering a time they fell in love with either a song or person and for some people even a pet or item.

What can fans expect from you next? Do you have any upcoming projects or releases planned following “Spinning Around”?

Yes!!! absolutely. Fans can expect to hear the sequel to spinning around called “Married by the Rhythm”

I will be releasing new music every month so fans and listeners can expect a new joint to drop often. My hope is that as I grow as an artist, my fans and listeners grow along with me. I also hope that they have good personal growth and prosperity within there lives.

Lauren Mann and Johnny Aitken Release Healing Song 'Medicine'

Lauren Mann and Johnny Aitken Release Healing Song ‘Medicine’

by the partae June 25, 2024
written by the partae

On National Indigenous People’s Day, Lauren Mann released her new single, “Medicine”. Lauren co-wrote this song over five years with her friend Johnny Aitken. The song focusses on truth, healing, and reconciliation. Johnny is a First Nation 2spirit multi-disciplinary artist. This collaboration was intentional, it was an opportunity for a member of the Settler community to create a piece of art with an Indigenous community member with the hope of helping heal from past injustices and to heighten awareness on Indigenous issues throughout Canada.

Lauren Mann and Johnny wrote the song by getting together on SḴŦAḴ (Mayne Island) and SDȺY¸ES (Pender Island), going for walks in different parts of the island and having lengthy conversations about reconciliation, truth and healing, and lived experiences. In the process of writing this song, a friendship was formed, strengthened, and trust was cultivated and nourished. Slowing down and taking their time permitted space for subtle nuances to appear within the lyrics. The song was produced by Adam Iredale-Gray (Aerialists, Fish and Bird) at Fiddlehead Studio on Mayne Island, BC and Toronto, ON.

Wiwek Brings His Famed Jungle Terror Sounds Back to W&W’s Rave Culture Label. New Single “Rush” Out Now

Artist: Wiwek
Title: Rush
Label: Rave Culture

Download / Stream

Jungle terror frontrunner and super-producer Wiwek is back on W&W‘s Rave Culture label with the official release of his new sinister track “Rush,” which he has been mixing as an ID in his sets for quite some time now. Listeners will be thrilled with the full version of this heart-rendering example of Wiwek‘s signature genre, subbed jungle terror, complete with stabbing basslines, plenty of percussive synths, and glimpses of melody, all while hip-hop style vocals add extra party-ready emphasis to the fresh record. “Rush” is bound to be a hit at festivals and clubs this summer more than ever before! The new single follows up on Wiwek‘s “Jungle Terror vol. 5” EP, which he released on Yellow Claw‘s Barong Family just last month for the EP series’ 10-year anniversary.

“I’m happy to return to Rave Culture with a song I made for the dance floors. It’s been a really cool tune for my sets over the past years, and I’m happy to put it out now for the masses. I can’t believe it’s already my 8th release on the label of W&W and for sure won’t be my last.” – Wiwek

A true rebel with a cause, Wiwek isn’t just a DJ, he’s a genre pioneer. Carving out his own sonic space with “jungle terror,” a wild fusion of electronic madness, tribal percussion, and animalistic energy, Wiwek has soundtracked international films, collaborated with Skrillex on genre-bending anthems like “Killa,” and built his own creative haven, Maha Vana Records, a label that lets artists run wild. Fresh off his debut album “Cycles,” Wiwek is ready to unleash a new sonic adventure, one that promises to push boundaries and ignite dance floors. He’s also the mastermind behind the “The Free and Rebellious” EP, which became the soundtrack to a film shot in Bangkok, further solidifying his unique blend of music and storytelling. With a constant stream of new music and exciting projects brewing, 2024 is shaping up to be another explosive year for Wiwek.

Billie Zizi’s ‘Levitate’: Soulful R&B Jazz Fusion Revival

by the partae June 22, 2024
written by the partae

Billie Zizi seamlessly merges the timeless vibes of classic soul with contemporary R&B, infusing avant-garde jazz into her guitar-driven melodies for a sound that’s both accessible and boldly experimental. With a background shaped by her travels through Eastern Europe, Billie Zizi embarked on a journey as a solo artist, crafting tightly arranged loops and sampled parts before evolving into full-fledged albums. Her debut LP, ‘Gun Metal Dress’ (2015), showcased jazz-inflected tracks marked by unconventional time signatures and scat-inspired vocals, while ‘Moon Of Honey’ (2016) revealed a growing confidence in risk-taking while maintaining a sharp pop sensibility.

After a brief hiatus, Zizi returns triumphantly with her latest endeavor, ‘Levitate’ (set for release in October 2024). Backed by her distinctive sound, the album navigates familiar terrain with fresh perspectives. With Austin Parachoniak’s astute production, ‘Levitate’ weaves through kaleidoscopic sonic landscapes, highlighting Billie Zizi’s masterful vocals and poetic lyricism. From the ethereal charm of ‘Midnight Sun’ to the whimsical cadences of ‘Hope’, the album delights with its playful yet profound approach. Through intricate arrangements and thoughtful nostalgia, Zizi’s dedication to growth and creativity shines, making ‘Levitate’ a captivating testament to her evolving artistry.

Veteran Dutch DJ/producer-duo Showtek unveils their massive new album “360 Blue,” which continues their “360” concept, started in late 2023, and sees the duo returning to their hardstyle roots with the 15-track body of work. Throughout their 20-year career, the brothers have become sonic maestros who have shown passion, dedication, and appreciation for many genres of music, including house and big room, pop, indie, and, of course – hardstyle, which has skyrocketed them to worldwide fame over 2 decades ago. The genre that started it all for them takes center stage on “360 Blue,” which begins with “Dear Hardstyle” with Earl St. Clair, an ode that thoughtfully mixes an emotive spoken manifesto with upbeat, hard-hitting production that makes for an epic anthem. Each next record embraces a unique variation of the theme, from the festival-friendly heaters “Spaceman” with DJ Isaac and “Mirror Mirror” with Steve Aoki and Jem Cooke to the slightly ethereal “Dream (Adrenalize Remix),” and more. Showtek finally rounds out the heart-pounding rhythms with the memorable, haunting notes of “Heaven or Hell.” Showtek premiered the “360 Blue” album at their sold-out show at the Sydney Showground Stadium earlier this month. With almost 10,000 Australian partygoers, the legendary duo took their new and old fans on a musical sinister journey, performing for almost 2,5 hours, serving as a prologue to more hardstyle events in 2024 where the duo will be showcasing their new LP. Their first “360” concept came in the form of “360 Yellow” last winter, which showcased their house/big room sound, and the following “360 Red” is set to be released later this year.

About the “360” concept:

“After producing a variety of genres over the last 20 years, we felt it was time to bundle each genre into its own primary colour in the ‘360‘ project. ‘360‘ tells and captures our story of being more of an all-round act, having toured around the globe multiple times,  and showing our love, passion, dedication, and appreciation for all the genres in the electronic music space. Being a DJ allows you to touch base with many different cultures worldwide; it’s hard to just stick to one thing or genre. As a human you grow, you develop, you broaden your horizon,  or just look at things differently. It’s important to transcend that into your music as well. Different music is made for different moments, and scenarios. Festivals, clubs, venues, sports stadiums, radio, beach, road trips, etc. We aim to showcase the wide range of passion for different styles under one umbrella. This has been very challenging, but we feel that with the 3-part ‘360‘ concept, we can give each genre its own identity and still be Showtek. We had hits like ‘Booyah‘, ‘Bad‘ with David Guetta, and ‘Believer‘ with Major Lazer, in the big room sound, with ‘FTS‘, ‘World Is Mine‘ and the ‘Ftrack‘ still being fan favourites in the hardstyle scene, we are proud that these songs have become staple in each genre, and are still being played every day worldwide, by fans, listeners, and DJs. Moving forward, and looking forward we are eager to grow and expand, and compartmentalize each sound to make sure every sound has the Showtek signature.” – Showtek

“360 Yellow” album (released on Nov 17, 2023): “Focussing on the house and big room dance sound. Music that we have been releasing as Showtek for 10 years, Very festival and club focussed, and lower to higher energy.” – Showtek

“360 Blue” album (out on Jun 20, 2024): “This is pure hardstyle music. We built a legacy in this genre, and have a huge amount of fans worldwide that have been listening to us since day 1. After taking a 12 year break from the genre, we have reignited it with new gained experience, a fresh approach, more mature but still Showtek. Melodic, anthemic, and with a message. This is high energy.” – Showtek

“360 Red” album (to be released later in 2024): “This will be a blend of styles, a fusion of sounds, ranging from pop or indie leaning topics still with an electronic foundation, but not necessarily made for the dancefloor only. But to listen in the car, at home, or anywhere else.” – Showtek

Showtek, the globally celebrated Dutch production duo composed of brothers Wouter Janssen and Sjoerd Janssen, has left an indelible mark on the international music industry with their memorable anthems and high-energy performances. Originally launching their career in electronic music as Hardstyle DJs/producers, Showtek achieved undeniable success and is renowned for producing the world’s number 1 hardstyle anthem to date – “FTS.” Over the years, they have evolved into an undisputed leader within the electronic dance music industry, boasting platinum-selling, chart-topping singles that have resonated around the world. One of their standout achievements includes the massive success of their track “Bad” with David Guetta, featuring VASSY, which has amassed over 1B streams, solidifying Showtek‘s global impact and popularity. The duo’s collaborative spirit is evident through their partnerships with renowned artists, such as Major Lazer, David Guetta, Steve Aoki, Tiësto, Hardwell, Ida Corr, Timmy Trumpet, Wyclef Jean, Moby, and others, showcasing their versatility and ability to seamlessly blend their signature style with diverse musical influences. In addition to their chart-topping success, Showtek‘s highlights include the platinum certification of their hit track “Booyah” with We Are Loud and Sonny Wilson, further cementing their status as trailblazers in the EDM scene. Their ability to bring together fans through a shared love for music, excitement, artistic freedom, and adventure has turned Showtek into more than just an act. It’s a movement.
