The 2020 year has been both unprecedented and challenging in many ways, with artists and music fans feeling the absence of making memories in-person most of all. R3HAB decided to close out the year with his new single “Ones You Miss” to commemorate the strangest year most of us can remember, sending a positive message as we experience the holiday season in uncertain times. Delivering bouncy piano melodies, a breezy bassline, and a velvety topline, “Ones You Miss” is an emotive yet energizing and dancefloor-friendly ode to all of the people that make our life worth living. Despite the global pandemic, R3HAB had no shortage of meaningful releases, including his singles “One More Dance” with Alida, “Am I The Only One” with Astrid S and HRVY, “Family Values” with Nina Nesbitt, “Good Example” with Andy Grammer, to name only a few. Check out R3HAB‘s inspiration behind his final track of 2020 below:

“At the end of a year, we look back and celebrate milestones, but the memories that mean the most to me are always the special moments with my family, friends, and fans. I want this song to let the people I love know that I can’t wait to be with them again.” – R3HAB

Dutch/Moroccan DJ and producer Fadil El Ghoul, better known as R3HAB, has been trailblazing his way through dance music for the better part of the last decade. From his breakthrough hit remix of Afrojack, Pitbull and Ne-Yo‘s “Give Me Everything” to his dance anthems, such as “All Around The World (La La La)” and “Lullaby,” which have collectively amassed over 600M streams, to his collaborations with the likes of ZAYN, Andy Grammer, Sofia Carson, Timmy Trumpet and more, R3HAB has proven to be one of the most talented and forward-thinking artists in the game. He partnered with Spotify and GATTÜSO to create the first-ever official “mint” single release. In 2016 he founded his label CYB3RPVNK, which passed one billion streams on its catalog within the first two years since its inception. R3HAB himself continues to evolve and diversify his sound by working with a variety of artists around the globe, experimenting with everything from hip-hop to pop through his collaborations. With his combination of innate artistry and innovative attitude, R3HAB is continuing his journey. Keep an eye out for what’s next in 2021!

Startup duo Yardhaus makes their end-of-year debut with the new single “Blame,” a dance-pop crossover track that will hit home for anyone who has experienced the temporal nature of modern dating culture. Yardhaus creates a vibe for easy listening by weaving deep basslines with groovy melodies, which are complemented by the track’s soulful vocals. With lyrics like “we can see the ending right from the beginning,” “Blame” is a relatable lament for situations when you know a relationship will be short-lived but continue it anyway. Whether you need an emotional catharsis from a recent breakup or just a track to chill out to, press play on “Blame” and let this talented new duo take you on a sonic trip down memory lane.

“‘Blame‘ is a hybrid between dance, pop, and electronic. The song is about knowing how a relationship will end, even from the start. It speaks to the toxicity and short-sighted nature of transactional relationships.” – Yardhaus

Michael Jack and Max Shaevitz are the Pennsylvania and New York-based duo that make up Yardhaus, a promising new name in the dance-pop crossover circuit. Their dynamic fusion of genres gives them appeal to a broad audience, and they have cultivated a growing fan base even early in their career by opening for the likes of Marshmello, SNBRN, Zedd, ASAP Ferg, and more. Their prior tracks include “Boomerang,” “Talk Me Down,” and their remix of Galantis‘s “Mama Look At Me Now.” After spending time refining their sound, Yardhaus is back and ready to take the world by storm.

KINDRED SCORE – ‘NIGHTS LIKE THIS’ / ‘THE WAY WE GREW’ REMIXES

Following their recent debut, new electro-pop duo Kindred Score keep the flow of superb output going as they release a remix package for ‘Nights Like This / The Way We Grew’. Released today, the remixes come from  a string of eclectic producers including Blackhill, Manpower & Rogue Unity. Launching their new project this month, Kindred Score reminisce on people’s similarities, differences as well as human experiences in their lyricism, telling it through the eyes of a fictional character. They project a beautiful electro pop sound filled with sultry vocals and sagacious electronics beats. Blackhill’s 13 years of live & studio experience are transcended in his irresistibly groovy minimal rework of ‘Nights Like This’. Standing for diversity, uniqueness and cutting-edge sounds, he incorporates each of these elements into his music whilst still keeping his eye on the underground dancefloor. Multi-disciplinary artist, songwriter, producer & DJ Manpower is one not to confine himself to a single genre. Distinctly unique, he draws on house, techno, Italo, disco, pop-punk, new wave and beyond on a discography that spans imprints from Life & Death, Hivern Discs, Optimo Trax and Correspondent aswell. A sound that has been described by Resident Advisor as ‘Intergalactic house music’ Manpower seamlessly transforms ‘Nights Like This’ into a golden splice of electronica. Arriving as the debut of the ‘Rogue Unity’, the alias comes from an experienced electronic artist who is remaining under wraps for now, allowing the music to speak for itself. With influences from Garage, Techno, House and Disco, the playfully mischievous production is aimed squarely for the dance floor moments. A remix package sure to set the ascension of Kindred Score, these two are a firm one to watch as 2020 draws to a close and we head into a new year. Kindred Score ‘Nights Like This’ / The Way We Grew’ Remixes is out now on AWAL

“‘STARS’ takes the rule book and throws it out the window and with an introduction this good, there’s no doubt what will follow will be insane. 8/10.”
Hysteria

“Mammoth sound and a relentless message.”
Claire Mooney, triple j Unearthed

“Enigmatic and hyper-active, Up Late refuses to sit in one place long enough to be confined. There’s metalcore, straight rock, EDM, pop and hip hop elements all woven atop one another, and with incredible harmony no less.”
Blunt Magazine

“Up Late is filling the gap within the Australian music industry where no other artist seems to be crossing these genres.”
MILKY

Fresh from the announce of his new label home, Up Late’s new EP ‘STARS’ is out today via UNFD.

Up Late – AKA the moniker for Wollongong singer-songwriter, producer and visual artist Max Pasalic – marked the first solo project to join the UNFD roster after his signing in September. The ‘STARS’ EP marks a complete collection of his previous singles from 2020, as well as a reimagined version of his celebrated triple j DIY Supergroup submission ‘Like This’. On today’s release, Pasalic declares: “That distortion and chaos, mixed with the pop semblance – that dichotomy – that genre-mashing, that’s the EP. That’s Up Late.”

After debuting with his comp entry in May, Up Late scored an honourable mention among 900+ other entrants, a nomination as one of the “10 most exciting discoveries of 2020” by triple j and nods from local music media including Pilerats, Blunt Magazine, Music Feeds, MILKY, Depth + more.

Backing it up with inimitable singles ‘FRIENDS’,  ‘u left me on read’ and ‘Alone’, Pasalic continued to flex on his flair for unusual genre blends. Many may remember the 24 year-old as the lead singer of heavy act After Touch, who released various outputs on UNFD in 2017/18, while he also has credits producing for various local and international rap and hip hop artists including the likes of BONES.

Up Late’s ‘STARS’ EP is out now.

One of the best things about the internet is that you can easily discover what things are like in other parts of the world, as is the case here.

Tiahi, who has had a long lasting connection with both Australia and New Zealand, is giving us a glimpse into summer in Europe or to be more precise, in the Mediterranean – the hub in Europe for all sun seekers to gather, relax, connect and make memories during the summer season.

‘Summer Love’ is more electronic than anything we’ve heard from Tiahi so far, but still grooving to that typical offbeat rhythm. It’s an astonishing mix between upbeat electronic energy and super chill vibes and the lyrics take you straight back to where you were last summer – or want to be this summer…

The clip is just what you’d expect: beaches, sunshine, pool parties and drone shots. No need for further explications, go see for yourself, keep your eyes peeled for more news from Tiahi and get ready for summer!
