Hey Rashid, congrats on your latest release, your TOR label debut! For our readers who might not have heard it yet, can you describe each of the tracks in three words/a sentence?
Thatâs a good question ! I would say…
âNever Knewâ is soulful, nostalgic and raw.
âChasing Ghostsâ is industrial, haunting and warm.Â
âStill Think of Youâ is melancholy, lush and dreamy.
Youâve had a really strong 12 months with releases on the likes of Tale & Tone, TOR, XYZ⊠What do you think was the reason behind this exciting collection of new tracks? Have you been having an extra creative phase?
I think these tracks came from a desire to create during lockdown. I had a few months of creative focus in which the tracks came together. They each have their own story and meaning behind them, but in the end they worked quite nicely as a collection, even though this was not what I initially intended.Â
Where do you usually get your inspiration from, and has lockdown affected that (either in a good or bad way)?
My inspiration comes from nature, art and mainly from experiences in my life. But when it comes down to it the inspiration comes from within and is at a deeper level. It comes from being in the moment of creation fully.Â
Where would be your dream gig or show when the world opens back up properly again?
My dream is to tour the world and play in multiple countries, meet new people, and have unique experiences.Â
Whatâs next for you? Weâve heard that youâre big into NFTs and artwork, and are working on some cool installations⊠can you tell us more about that?
I will be launching my first NFT collection soon. It consists of 6 pieces all with unique visuals and music. Iâm very excited about it and I really enjoyed the project! Iâm looking at many new artistic projects that involve bringing together art, music, film and immersive experiences. Stay tuned for more updates!
Rashid Ajamiâs âYou Donât Know Meâ EP is out now on Tale & Tone. His âNever Knewâ EP is Out Now on TOR, get it here.

DVBBS team up with fellow Canadian and alternative sensation Powfu for their new track “Losing Sleep,” which sees the duo experimenting with a masterful blend of alt-punk and electronic music. Opening with mellow instrumental melodies, Powfu‘s heartfelt vocals shine through as “Losing Sleep” laments on a lost lover. DVBBS‘s influence comes in soft basslines during the culmination of the track, which is guaranteed to pull at any listener’s heartstrings. Powfu has been riding the wave of his TikTok popularity from “death bed (coffee for your head)” song, which got him signed to Columbia Records and just surpassed 1 billion streams on Spotify alone. “Losing Sleep” is the latest from DVBBS‘s forthcoming album “SLEEP” and follows their recent “Lose My Mind,” for which they sampled Yebba, and “Fool For Ya” – a dancefloor filler, which announced the forthcoming LP. You never know what kind of sound this adventurous duo has up their sleeve next, so stay tuned for more from the new album!
“‘Losing Sleep‘ is the definition of fresh, we’re excited to share this one.” –Â DVBBS
“‘Losing Sleep‘ is an acoustic idea I wrote a few years ago and posted on my IG. It’s really cool to see DVBBS take it to the next level” – Powfu
Only a few producers have risen to the top in the electronic music scene as quickly as DVBBS, who captured the industry’s attention with hits like “Tsunami” and “Not Going Home” and never let it go. The Canadian brothers Alex and Christopher have been continuously cultivating their sound since their debut in 2012 and have racked up an impressive display of collaborations with renowned names from diverse musical backgrounds, such as blackbear, 24kGoldn, Jasmine Thompson, Belly, NERVO, Juicy J, and more. DVBBS continue to prove there’s nothing they can’t accomplish. Their hits such as “La La Land,” “Gold Skies,” and the breakthrough “Angel” are staples in every dance music fan’s library. Prior to the global pandemic, DVBBS performed a staggering 250 dates per year at some of the world’s hottest music festivals and top-tier clubs, including Tomorrowland, EDC Las Vegas, Ultra Music Festival, Hakkasan Las Vegas or Ibiza‘s Amnesia, and Ushuaia. Throughout their career, DVBBS has proved they are relentlessly dedicated to expanding their global footprint and bringing cutting-edge new music to their listeners.
Multitalented Sam Blacky returns with her newest single “No More,” the perfect track to be your anthem to turning a new page and living it up this summer. It bears her signature tech-house style, running on a deep, driving bassline that incorporates plenty of rhythmic shakers and synths, complete with soulful and captivating vocals. Like most of Blacky‘s music, “No More” feels right at home being played at clubs or festivals in some of the world’s most beautiful venues, since she draws most of her inspiration from her worldwide travels. Out on her own imprint Stabby Records, the single follows up Sam‘s latest “Paradise.” With the pandemic rapidly receding in many areas of the world, keep an eye out for where Sam might be making appearances in the coming months.
“‘No More‘ is super special to me not only because of the message in the lyrics, but also because this song can empower those who hear it and sing along in an almost cathartic way, saying goodbye to past negativity. It’s all about moving forward and realizing what you’re worth. I definitely feel “No More” being played out in clubs and festivals this summer as a sort of ‘f*ck you’ anthem to anyone or anything that has hurt you.” –Â Sam Blacky

The city of cyberpunk vibes and neon signs; my home away from home… Tokyo, Japan. What’s good?
Technically I used to play the flute quite diligently in my elementary school band but my real interest in music developed when I was going through a period of writerâs block in my late teens. No poetry was coming out, so I decided I needed a new outlet to express myself or I was going to combust. Then I discovered DAWâs and made little secret songs on my Apple Laptop with loops, beats and samples. It wasnât until 2017 when I had a keyboard workshop in college where I really started to learn about music theory. A lovely professor from Yamanashi taught me about chords and how to play Fly Me To The Moon by Frank Sinatra. Finally in 2018 I got myself an Akai Mini and I was just blown away by the limitless possibility of musical creation. I’m telling you, it felt like the sky was the limit!
I just got my very first gig to perform my original music in the coming months and I am so nervous yet excited. Something about singing songs that I personally wrote as opposed to acting as somebody else just sends chills up my spine. But I think that’s what turns me on, because creativity is a high-risk energy. Will I fail or fly?
More like who. My producer and homegirl is an artist from Russia who goes by the title MILIAH but I call her by her first name, Emilia. She has been a wonderful creative collaborator and business partner whom I trust. I sent her a demo which had a street-like Travis Scott beat and she transformed it into this mystical, dream indie-pop, shoegaze rock hybrid that blew my mind. “This is how I imagine your song,” she told me. I just adored the little details she added to it which made it sound otherworldly, and I’ve been blown away by people’s response to it which has been overwhelmingly positive.
Often during our production phase, she asks me: “What do you want?” which instantaneously puts me in touch with my true desires for my art. Every instrument and effect is chosen just for me, and I fall in love with music a little harder. God do I need my guitars and 808’s! I’ve learnt a lot about communicating my artistic vision effectively to others which is a skill. It can get really specific sometimes, and leaves no room for “oh yeah that’s fine.” Nobody needs that. What is expected of me is to be nothing short of a bad bitch who knows what she wants and how to get it.
I finally emerged like a classic Phoenix from the ashes, and that’s when I wrote the lyrics to Rise in my journal at what must have been 3AM.
I was in my bedroom recording Rise on my phone. I didnât even have a home studio back then, and this jerk producer told me that heâd stalk me like ‘A’ from the TV show Pretty Little Liars, sarcastically wished me good luck and that I wouldnât find anyone to work with me and my âpseudoâ talent. I swear that just made me work ten times harder. Another producer whom I looked up to didnât really respond to my request when I asked for the STEMS to his beats, unfortunately. But being told no is not the end. No is just the beginning of a creative career. Iâve gotten immune to it. There is a saying that rejection is Godâs protection and that there is a better plan for you. So I donât get disheartened anymore at seemingly lost opportunities. It’s important to never lose sight of the end goal and keep going no matter what.
These guys led me to think: âWhy are there so many male producers? No shade, but where are the women in music? I want to work with a female creative in particular.â It was through the internet I googled specific communities and found She Is The Music, and it was there I was able to connect with Emilia. I listened to her song Wild and loved the production on it, so I reached out to her via Instagram DMâs. So in the end, I’m thankful for the doors that closed on me. I’m lucky to have built my goddess gang since then.
It was honestly very simple, smooth and straightforward. Since I didnât even own a mic back then, I actually just recorded three vocal takes on my Android phone (which goes to show how much technology has advanced) and emailed it to Emiliaâs friend Dmitriy, who did the mixing and mastering on the track. It was as though all the obstacles that I had faced were finally removed and things started opening up for me.
I thought I was going to leave Japan in May, so I wanted to capture the essence of the title ‘The Land of The Rising Sun’ by putting in a sunrise. We had the idea to shoot one day at night, and another during the day to showcase the video moving from darkness to light which is what the song is about.
Through a Facebook group for filmmakers & videographers in Tokyo, I was able to connect with Guillaume Tauveron, a French director & filmmaker who was so sweet, kind and hilarious. Since he has shot in all the popular locations, we wanted to go somewhere unique so we shot at Makuhari Beach which was so much fun and made me grateful to be this free-spirited independent artist filming by the ocean. I want that beautiful time back. I used to fantasize about making a music video since FOREVER. It’s a dream come true not only to have made one but also put it on YouTube and have my own little artist channel. I used to pray for this. I’m really lucky.
Iâve experimented with a lot of different sounds and styles on the EP and I have a feeling I’ll always be doing that. I can’t wait to release it! Stay tuned for it to drop sometime this year.
Eve’s album Scorpion. I was born in the late 90’s so I’ve been having nostalgia for 00’s music. The track Stronger by Kanye West. I’m on some what doesn’t kill me makes me stronger type of energy. A Little Bit Dangerous by CRMNL, because I’ve been in villain mode after people came for my neck and failed. And I think the duo RHYME SO are sick. Their 360 video for ‘Hot’ with the virtual club was a visual experience to remember.
The social isolation of the pandemic has really put me in an introspective state for the last 18 months. During this time Iâve become a 200 Hour YTT Kundalini Yoga practitioner which has brought me a lot of inner peace along with Deepak Chopra and Alicia Keys’ Divine Feminine meditation series. That reminds me, I need to complete my goddess Kali yoga challenge! She is a Hindu deity that embodies Shakti and despite her associations with death, doomsday, sexuality and violence, she is actually considered to be the loving mother of the universe. I am all about spirituality, liberation and raising consciousness. But I’m not one of those fake good vibes only type of people. I’m a lightworker and a shadow healer.
I love manifestation candles, crystals, divination, essential oils etc. I used to hide that side of me because I was scared people wouldn’t take me seriously, but I’ve learnt that when I step into alignment with my authenticity and everything I thought was ‘weird’, that’s where my people are. Spiritual babes are some of my favourite kinds of people because I know they’re committed to personal growth. I almost decided not to pursue music in favor of a more strictly truth-seeking path like a tantrika or a dakini, whom I have been told I was in a past life, until I remembered a quote by Marilyn Manson: “Music is the strongest form of magic’. My vibration increases tenfold when I’m creating songs – it’s so much fun!
I signed up for the Institute for Integrative Nutritionâs one year program this March so Iâll be continuing to study the modules for that course. Plus I just sent in my college applications for the fall semester so I’m hoping things go according to plan during these unprecedented times. Iâm also learning how to DJ.
Your girl is a true foodie who loves to travel. I just had the most delicious butter prawns and chilli crab from Singapore Seafood Republic for Father’s Day so Iâm still basking in that post-meal glow. I am flirting with Ayurvedic recipes since Iâm trying to up my wellness, but if you would have asked the old me, I’d have probably said strawberries with Godiva chocolate and Italian spaghetti. Things are slowly changing now. I switched up my pasta in favor of zucchini noodles, or affectionately called ‘zoodles’ which I thought were pretty delicious.
The pandemic has me fenced in, so when Iâm craving fresh air I like to go to Kasai Rinkai Park and chill near the water and BBQ tables.

âHer songs are rich, accomplished and instantly relatableâ

Introducing Aotearoa / New Zealand via London singer songwriter Molly Payton who today shares new single and video âHoneyâ, her first music of 2021.
The London-based 19-year-old is currently in her homeland of New Zealand, where she completed the track remotely with her frequent collaborator Oli Barton-Wood (NilĂŒfer Yanya, Porridge Radio, Sorry), as well as Grammy-award winning producer Jimmy Hogarth (Sia, Amy Winehouse) and British songwriter Benjamin Francis Leftwich. âHoneyâ follows Paytonâs breakout EP Porcupine, released last Autumn to wide critical acclaim, which led to her being flagged as one to watch by the likes of Pigeons & Planes, Dork, The Line of Best Fit, Steve Lamacq at 6Music and Jack Saunders at BBC Radio 1. It also caught the ears of fellow artists, including Arlo Parks, who chose Payton to appear alongside her takeover of Spotifyâs âOur Generationâ playlist, commenting of Paytonâs music âthere was just this sense of rawness and earnestness that really reminded me of things that Iâve lived myself.â
Where Porcupine celebrated the freedom and chaos of Paytonâs young adulthood, navigating her new city of London in her first year after high school, the introspective tone of âHoneyâ hints at a coming of age. In her words; “Honey is about that moment in a relationship where things stop working as well as they used to. This song was me taking responsibility for my part in the decay of it all, acknowledging that Iâd been distant and that Iâd keep trying to make things work. I think thereâs also an undercurrent of frustration with myself for letting my past interfere with my present. Like most songs I write it was mostly just me working through my own mind and emotions, but I guess the message of this song would be to make sure youâre not giving too much of yourself away. Take time to make sure youâre ok so that you can support the people you love.”
The thematic shift is one that mirrors Paytonâs return to her roots. Originally intended to be a short stay, her time in New Zealand was extended as UK lockdowns prevailed. As well as spending time with the friends and places she left as a teenager, it also fuelled her resolution to reconnect with the memories and tribulations of her past, and process them through her songwriting. Revolving around the adage of looking back in order to move forward, she describes her coming output as âhonest, reflective and hopeful.â Her time back home also allowed her to rediscover the catharsis of playing live, with Payton performing a series of full-capacity headline gigs against the backdrop of New Zealandâs low Covid rates and eased restrictions.
Molly Paytonâs first offering came in the form of her debut EP Mess, which was co-produced with Oscar Lang (Dirty Hit), who she met at her new school soon after relocating to the UK at age 16. This was followed up by 2020’s Porcupine, which saw her strike up a new songwriting partnership with producer Oli Barton-Wood, embracing a fuller sound, a direct reflection of her contemporary experiences in London and changing tastes. Praised for her evocative lyricism and evolved songwriting, âHoneyâ doesnât compromise any of Paytonâs edge, yet offers a more personal look into the workings of the young songwriter, and forecasts bright things for Molly this year.

Off the back of recent single âShared Eyesâ, singer songwriter Sarah Yagki is back with a fresh dose of goodness in âCanât Hardly Lieâ. Itâs another step forward for the artist who has been dropping some gems through 2021, with âCanât Hardly Lieâ stepping up as one of her most assured and confident releases yet.
Melodic, fully fleshed out and mixing with some more production technique, âCanât Hardly Lieâ charts some great emotional range from Sarah as a vocalist. Earlier releases have seen her lean into some darker pop tones to relate a full spectrum of emotion from heartache to anger and rejuvenation.
âCanât Hardly Lieâ stands as a prime example of her talent to convey anger, bitterness and sharpness with love and heartbreak, striking a balance between both with natural ease.
âCan’t Hardly Lie is a track that I harnessed all my emotional energy, from love to pain to anger and regret, into a track and sculpted it to reflect this. It is, to date, my rawest song based on a personal experience in a relationship, and how I rediscovered and found my own sense of self and strength in it.â Â Â Â
Sarah Yagki Â
As with âShared Eyesâ, Sarah worked out of Obseen Recordings in Bowral NSW, with Klaus Hill on mastering duties. The material that came together through these sessions have come together in further defining Sarahâs whole artistic sound. Recently signing with Scott McKenzie and Premier Artists for bookings, we can expect to be seeing more from Sarah as live music continues to restart around the country.
With more to come this year, âCanât Hardly Lieâ is another strong flex from the talented young songwriter.
âEmotional vibes on this one from Sarah. Itâs put together pretty solidly with a steady-cruising production and some clean vocals.â

Lead Track âUnsolicited Contactâ Garners Over One Million Views on TikTok
Toronto, ON – Canadian pop singer / songwriter Cassie Dasilva is set to release her debut EP Enough independently on July 23 via all streaming platforms. The 6-track EP is a collection of songs that focuses on relationships and explores both dealing with a breakup and finding love.
Ontario based Dasilva was determined to create the EP with an all-female production team after a disappointing major label deal left her navigating the industry on her own. Working with multi-award-winning Canadian songwriter/producers Robyn DellâUnto (Wild Rivers, Gus, Lu Kala) and Hill Kourkoutis (Jules, Serena Ryder), with Grammy award-winning mastering engineer Emily Lazar, Dasilvaâs EP came to fruition.
âEnough is a collection of songs that focuses on relationships and explores both dealing with a breakup and being in love. I understand that, thematically, the two donât go together, but Iâve found in my experience that love and heartbreak arenât sequential. Theyâre not always independent of one another, and itâs entirely possible to experience feelings of heartbreak, anger and frustration, while completely falling in love with someone new. I know, because thatâs my story,â said Dasilva.
The first single released off the EP; âUnsolicited Contactâ went viral on TikTok, with a clip of the âScream Queensâ-inspired music video earning over one million views on the platform. Dasilva has seen continued growth on social media and on streaming platforms since releasing two more singles from her EP, âWe Might Break Upâ and âI Donât Trust Anyone Anymoreâ with their respective 100% female-made pastel dreamland and movement choreo themed videos.
In addition, the EP will include three new tracks âI Donât Hang out with My Exesâ, âDarksideâ and âEnoughâ, each inspired by Dasilvaâs relationships, past and present. âDarksideâ gives insight into the end of a past relationship, and is a reflection of being able to come out of that darkness into a place of love and growth. The title track, âEnoughâ was written about finding love and contentment with her current long-term boyfriend, and acknowledging that true love, above all else, is enough.
Dasilva burst onto the Canadian pop scene in 2018 with a comparatively glossier sound, releasing “Welcome to My Castle” and âRough Cutâ on her first major recording contract under Universal Music Canada after an impromptu jam night performance caught the attention of the labelâs President & CEO. Both songs were produced by JUNO Award- winner Mike Wise (bĂŒlow, Ralph). âWelcome to My Castleâ peaked at #8 on Spotifyâs Canada Viral 50 chart, and âRough Cutâ was featured on the infamous PerezHilton.com.
Dasilva ended 2018 with the independent release of a holiday original, âSeasonâs Greetingsâ. Featured at the top of Spotifyâs âChristmas in Canadaâ playlist and in the film âThe Christmas Wedding Plannerâ (which trended worldwide on Netflix). She went on to release âStill in Loveâ (produced by Mike Wise) independently in 2019, which outperformed both of her label releases on streaming platforms in only two weeks.
For this 100% female-produced project, Dasilva has crafted a collection of songs that are unapologetically vulnerable and honest. Calling out our collective exes amidst infectious melodies and edgy production, she not only has a lot to say, but has figured out exactly how she wants to say it⊠and sheâs ready to be heard.

A deep dive into Yaelâs life via a myriad of transitions which saw her through motherhood, various moves, and a creative hiatus – her new album is a testament to her drive, passion and incredible musicality. Staying true to her roots, Yael (pronounced Yah-Elle) continues to compose songs that showcase her effortless sensibility when it comes to blending the worlds of folk, jazz, roots and blues. The intensely personal and heartfelt subject of the new music, builds upon that and brings the listener into a sonic world of honesty and understanding.  âMy original intention for this record was to record these songs as a bookmark of the transitions that I underwent over the past 10 years. Transitions of home and community, my role in life, my relationships, even my age,â says Wand.  âIn late 2019, I enlisted musicians and friends Alan Kerr and Christina Zaenker to help me. We drove up to Corwin Foxâs Hidden Well Studio in Cumberland, BC with the intent of creating a more or less, live off the floor album â quick, raw, rustic and authentic.â
Originally emerging on the Canadian folk scene in 2004. The BC Interior Music Award nominee established herself through repeat tours in western Canada and across Ontario, garnering both national and regional media attention. From her base (at the time) in Wells BC, she established her reputation one show at a time, and had audiences connecting to her stories of far off places, songs of life in the slow lane, and lulled by âthe effortless beauty of her voiceâ (Exclaim!).  At Your Door, Wandâs 2007 release garnered her radio play from coast to coast and press across the country and her third solo album, Good Stitch Gone (2009), produced by Corwin Fox, placed her squarely in the Americana genre without compromising either her free-spirited sound or her worldly sophistication. With brand new music on the horizon, Wand has her sights on reconnecting with fans in the  communities she once frequented and igniting a renewed interest in her music through digital means.
We all have those deep, life moments; where you feel like you are in the right place, at the right time, doing what you are meant to do. That is how May Davis feels when she performs. Her energy radiates from her in the form of soulful lyrics and raw, genuine vocals. Often compared to the likes of legendary vocalists like Janis Joplin, Stevie Nicks and Norah Jones, Davis has been coined to have ” ….the voice of an angel hit by a Whiskey truck” and is sure to intoxicate audiences with her witty stage presence and folk-inspired Americana music. She released her first Solo Album, Denim Blues, in 2019 and recently became a recipient of AmplifyBC’s Career Development grant.
LISTEN TO TRAP HOUSEÂ HERE
In 2019 Australiaâs own Jazzy Kâs soulful tone and empowering lyrics turned the heads of some of the biggest players in the U.S music industry when she released her debut single and addressed her own bullying experiences in her song titled âYou Areâ.
Jazzy spent many months in LA honing her skills as a singer and songwriter and after a chance meeting with Kenny âBabyfaceâ Edmonds the Aussie singer landed an incredible opportunity to work with him and his team including, producer Antonio Dixon and guitar maestro, Eric Jackson.
Â
The team spent several days in recording sessions laying down tracks and vocals, Jazzy didnât fail to impress.
Further recording sessions followed with various industry heavyweights and a major record deal was presented to her, but Jazzy made the bold decision to âpassâ on what would have been perceived as an opportunity of a lifetime, her instinct kicked in and lead her to continue on her musical journey down a different path and ultimately the concept for âTrap Houseâ was born.
âI was offered an opportunity that seemed amazing,â she said. âIt was looking perfect but something didnât feel right when I came home from LA, I had to make a decision and as I was reflecting on my journey so far I remember that I promised myself I would always trust my instincts and I would never change who I am for the industry. Thatâs when the lyrics for âTrap Houseâ started coming.â
Whilst back in LA and performing at an industry showcase, she caught the eye of the legendary multi-Grammy award winning producer, My Guy Mars (Jay-Z, Drake, Mary J Blige, Snoop Dogg, Drake). The pair hit it off and lead to the creation of her latest R&B pop single, âTrap Houseâ with an important and inspiring message.
âTrap Houseâ has been released to Australian radio this week.
