single allnight is their most commendable effort to date.
allnight is a nostalgic, shimmering piece of Indie Pop. Mixed by Jack Nigro (DMA’s, Middle Kids), the song captures the reluctant end of a night, with the realisation that the sun is rising and it’s time to leave. It encapsulates the special feeling of being lost in good company, holding off an inevitable parting for as long as possible to extend the feeling of connection.
allnight resists the rising sun, with every ascending run over the fretboard and every soJ incantation of “all night” a shadowy grip on the night’s thrills. It lingers long after it ends, the dynamic convergence of desire and despondency raising our most cherished memories. Caught up in nostalgia, allnight is sentimental for times long past, recalling the fleeting moments we wished would last forever.
allnight is the follow up to miloviti’s debut Attachment Issues (mixed and mastered by Taka Perry), which was added to rotation on Triple J Unearthed Radio. Dave Ruby Howe stated, “This is a super nice vibe from miloviti. Sweet new school pop with a bit of muscle backing it up“.
‘allnight’ will be available in digital stores on the 3rd of September
Miloviti Quote
‘When I first started writing allnight I always knew it was a vibe but it started off with a very different beat behind it. It wasn’t until I got really inspired by The Weeknd one day and came up with a more syncopated R&B beat for the verses that it really started to take on a life of its own. Ben, our guitarist, then came up with the flourishing explosion of guitar for the chorus and we knew this song was going to be something really special.’ — Luke, Lead Vocals

After releasing under different monikers and even initially being afraid to sing, Jye‘s first single under his own name ‘Beachy Girl‘ emerged in 2017 as a Youtube discovery sensation, and his bedroom productions were quickly amassing over 25+ million plays online. Although best known for widely-streamed singles including the Spotify hit ‘A Shitty Love Song‘ (made on a whim in just 20 minutes), it’s clear that ‘Sleeping In‘, the first single from Jye’s debut album, due out in 2022, is an awakening for the musician, featuring an easy confluence of soul-baring honesty and sunbaked production. ‘Sleeping In’ is an apt introduction into the world of Jye, whose genre-hopping sound is propelled by the momentum of his previous releases and personal life.
‘Sleeping In’ is out now, buy/stream it here.

Where are you currently based?
I currently live in Miami, Florida. I find Miami to be a very multicultural city with both Latin / Central American and European influences that you can easily find in the people, places, and food! We have an excellent music nightlife and art scene, which provide lots of influence and inspiration for me musically.
I first started playing music at a very young age as a drummer in local punk rock and industrial bands in the Chicago, Illinois area where I was raised. When I discovered electronic dance music, the beats immediately caught my attention and I started learning to DJ at 16, and I started producing original music pressed to vinyl at 18. I started performing internationally shortly thereafter.
Well after a long hiatus from music I decided to start re-dedicating more of my free time to getting back into electronic music and catching up with today’s new artists and sounds. I released my first EP in over a decade on Tim Xavier’s Face To Face label in the Summer of 2020 which really motivated me to start getting serious about making music again.
Over the last year I was able to create a sizable collection of new original material and I just didn’t feel like trying to send it all out to multiple labels and wait months to hear of any interest or feedback from them. I didn’t like the idea of just being another demo submission in their email inbox, so I felt the best way for me to get my music out there and have more control over the exposure and direction was to start my own label. Having my own label also gives me the ability to start working with other artists I respect and admire so creating CMND CTRL was almost a forgone conclusion for me. I have run multiple labels in years past and it was simply a matter of learning today’s digital landscape and deciding on a suitable musical direction for the label itself. CMND CTRL focuses on my interpretation of Techno music in today’s landscape and I hope to pair the majority of releases with both established and upcoming producers who can put their own touches to my music.
So far it has been a fairly organic process. I have stayed in touch over the years with artists I admire and who have been kind enough to lend their talents to my label such as Alexi Delano. My upcoming roster of releases has also helped to give me a little bit of street credit when I reach out to other artists who I do not know personally. I think when they see some of the people remixing for me and also hear my original material they know I am serious about pushing forward the music, which motivates them to want to work with me. I’m very excited to see what other artists I will have a chance to collaborate with as the label grows.
Currently, I am promoting my label’s 2nd release, CTRL002, which features 2 original tracks from myself and an excellent remix by Berlin’s Techno wizard Ray Kajioka. I was introduced to Ray by Tim Xavier and really liked the type of sound Ray has been creating recently. Thankfully, he agreed to help out with this project. Ray is a super talented producer and DJ and I hope to bring him back on another release in the future.
I grew up learning on outboard analogue equipment, which I really enjoyed, but fast forward to the present and I am about 90% creating digitally on the computer. I used to be a Pro Tools guy, but made the switch to Ableton Live and really enjoy it’s functionality and ease of use to sketch ideas quickly. I am also a big fan of Native Instruments Komplete series of VST and plugins as well as the VST clones of classic synths being made by Arturia. If I am lucky and find some success back in music I hope to be able to start getting back into collecting some outboard equipment again, but time will tell.
Great question and one that is really hard to pin down. We are such a connected global society that I think that helps some people draw on influences they might not normally have in their day-to-day local environment. I do enjoy the fact that musical equipment, whether physical or digital, is more easily affordable and accessible than ever before, which gives more artists the power to create. It’s an exciting time for music in my opinion.
These days I am a family man with a beautiful wife and 2 wonderful children so I like to spend lots of time with them. Living in a coastal region I enjoy boating, fishing, and I also fancy myself as a pretty good cook so those are the things I spend most of my free time on.
So many good artists are out in the scene today! It’s almost overwhelming haha! If I had to narrow it down I would say Dustin Zahn, Micheal Klein, Rene Wise, and Rodhad.
I love all food too much! If I had to pick it would be Japanese cuisine. For a good hangout I just can’t beat relaxing poolside on my backyard patio with family and friends.
A short, sharp joyride of a record, ‘I Love You…’ represents a tribute to DMA’S’ long-term hardcore fans as well as to the love of rock music that still powers the band’s beating heart. It’s a reminder of where they came from and how far they’ve come. Regardless of how big they get; they’ll always be the same band that used to throw a mattress against the wall to record demos in Johnny Took’s flat.
Focus single ‘We Are Midnight’ is a classic freeway song, its distorted layers of shoegaze guitar and immediate, anthemic hook take you right back to the euphoria of their 2016 debut Hills End.

Title: Summer Solstice EP
Label: Stabby Records
After consistently releasing her tracks “Too Late,” “No More,” “Body” and “Paradise” earlier this year, the dynamic LA-based artist Sam Blacky drops her debut “Summer Solstice” EP. In addition to previously released singles, it also features Sam‘s brand new production “La Noche” with singer/songwriter Elisa Gold, a deep and groovy vocal house gem that will transport you to a crowded, sweaty tropical paradise where revelers from around the globe dance the night away. Always one to create a vibe through her music, Sam Blacky‘s first EP on her label Stabby Records is clearly inspired by her love of travel and musical experiences in the most beautiful of places. Driving basslines, booty-shaking rhythms, and sultry vocals are the main theme of “Summer Solstice,” making for a sonic journey that you’ll want to never end.
“‘La Noche’ is the final focus track of my EP ‘Summer Solstice’ and it’s the perfect finale. I was so excited I got to work with a friend of mine who I actually met a few years ago in Ibiza, Elisa Gold, on the vocals. Thanks to her, the song is entirely in Spanish, adding even more to the global vibes of the EP as a whole. This song has the most tribal, uptempo beat of the whole ep so obviously, it’s my favorite. As I’ve said before, tying in my travels and different cultures is a huge part of my goal with these songs, as well as female empowerment and support of one another. Working with another globe-trotting, foreign, female artist on this one was so special. The vocals are all about freedom, dancing, letting go, and pure enjoyment. I hope it makes everyone feel like summer every day.” – Sam Blacky

Title: Runaway
Label: CYBERPVNK
R3HAB teams up with UK sensations Sigala and JP Cooper for their collaboration “Runaway,” a stunning coming-of-age saga that fuses the best of dance and pop. The song reflects each artist’s signature sound, from R3HAB‘s dynamic and high-energy style and Sigala‘s radio-friendly beats to JP Cooper‘s soulful vocals. Opening with undulating, upbeat melodies, “Runaway” rides on a combination of muted basslines and heartfelt vocals; its powerful lyrics about taking a risk to realize a dream or happiness is something many listeners will be able to relate to. The track is the first confirmed as part of R3HAB‘s new studio album, which will be released this fall, and offers a sneak peek into what fans can expect from his newest body of work. “Runaway” was years in the making between these three talented artists, so read on below for more about the story behind the track:
R3HAB:
“Sigala and JP are pioneers in the UK‘s dance-pop scene, and I’ve been following their work for years. Being able to create a song together that reflects each of our signature sounds makes me extremely proud. We were in the same headspace when working on this song. There’s always something in your life that requires boldness to unlock its full potential. ‘Runaway‘ is about daring to try; I hope our fans are inspired to find that boldness within themselves.”
Sigala:
“I am so happy we are releasing ‘Runaway‘ for the world to hear. One of my favourite parts of what I do is collaborating with other writers and producers – and I was blown away by the talents of both R3HAB and JP Cooper. We had so much fun making the record, and I hope everyone enjoys it!“
JP Cooper:
“‘Runaway‘ has been in the making for a good couple of years now, and I’m so happy it’s finally off the hard drive and into the world. It’s been amazing watching R3HAB and Sigala develop the track to where it’s at now. ‘Runaway‘ is a youthful, wide-eyed, coming-of-age story… it definitely brought back a few memories. I’m sure you’ll be able to relate.”
Dutch–Moroccan Multi-Platinum 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 remixes for Rihanna, Drake, Taylor Swift, Calvin Harris, The Chainsmokers, Lady Gaga, to anthems such as Gold– and Platinum-certified “All Around The World (La La La)” and “Lullaby,” to his collaborations with the likes of Luis Fonsi, Sean Paul, ZAYN, Andy Grammer, Sofia Carson, Smokepurpp, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Astrid S, Olivia Holt and more, R3HAB has proven to be one of the most talented and forward-thinking artists in the game, whose work collected over 5B streams to date. In 2016 R3HAB founded his label CYB3RPVNK, which has passed 2B streams across all platforms since its inception. R3HAB himself continues to evolve and diversify his sound by working with a variety of artists around the globe, pushing the boundaries of dance music as he collaborates across genres and languages. In 2020 alone R3HAB celebrated over 900M Spotify streams. He is currently the most discovered artist on Spotify, one of Spotify’s top 150 most streamed artists across all genres worldwide, and ranked #13 on prestigious DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs chart. With his combination of innate artistry and innovative attitude, in 2021 R3HAB is continuing his journey among electronic music’s elite.
Sigala is the musical nom de plume of Bruce Fielder, a London-based house DJ, producer, and remixer. Launching his career with “Easy Love,” a sampling track that topped the charts in the UK in 2015, he continued releasing bright, sunny dance-pop tunes featuring a variety of guest vocalists and producers. His 2018 full-length album “Brighter Days” included collaborations with Kylie Minogue, Craig David, Sean Paul, and Nile Rodgers, among many others. Subsequent tracks featuring Becky Hill (“Wish You Well“) and James Arthur (“Lasting Lover“) continued his run of UK Top Ten hits. In 2019 Sigala released the single “We Got Love” featuring Ella Henderson. Another song with Becky Hill – “Heaven on My Mind,” appeared in 2020, and “Lasting Lover” with James Arthur became Sigala‘s 8th single to chart in the UK Top Ten. His latest single “You For Me” with Rita Ora, proved to be yet another Summer smash of 2021.
JP Cooper has done the legwork. Ten years in bands in and around his Manchester hometown. Multiple songs written on his own and with a variety of collaborators, a couple of which became global hits-that-will-not-die: “Perfect Strangers” with Jonas Blue and his own “September Song,” which is now sitting at some 600M streams. An international solo career built on pure songcraft. And he’s done the business. The singer/songwriter’s 2017 debut album “Raised Under Grey Skies” has sold in old-fashioned numbers: 1M copies at time of writing. His 11M monthly Spotify listeners have contributed to a grand total of 4B total streams. And, over the past 18 months, Cooper has done the hardest thing: built on all that to create a second album, a collection of 13 songs that work as together and work apart, that out-paces, out-sings and, by his exacting standards, out-classes his debut.
