Growing up in a multi-cultural home with a Syrian mother and British father, Sydney based, singer songwriter Nick de la Hoyde was exposed to many global influences that he now weaves into his music. Melding his love of hip hop, pop and R&B with introspective lyrics that chronicles a young musician’s journey to adulthood, overcoming life and artistic challenges along the path, Nick and his long-time producer/collaborator/older brother Joseph (ZUZU) de la Hoyde, have together crafted a sound that is simultaneously intimate, expansive and engaging. Having penned confessional, real life anthems, such as Ghost,Animals, California,Mirror Mirror, Hold Me Close, and Love Takes Time, that oscillate between moody, textured R&B, anthemic synth laden future-pop and hip hop moments, combined with a lyrical earnestness that speaks directly to today’s younger generation.  Nick has quickly made a name for himself, cultivating a large and dedicated on-line following and becoming a powerful voice for youth empowerment and positivity.

DJ CYRE, a well known artist from Stuttgart in Southern Germany sky-rocketed up on his career path since the year 1999. Either as resident and host of Trance. Mission in Ludwigsburg – or as guest-dj at the recent in-events all over Germany – he totally convinced the partycrowd and pushed the people on the dancefloor to sheer ecstasy.

This and last year the guy from Stuttgart had several major bookings in his agenda: for example Talla 2XLC’s legendary TechnoClub in Frankfurt, Germany’s biggest technoparade called Beat Parade in Empfingen or a guest gig at Ocean.971 in Ibiza. And now even the famous Nature One Festival 2012 is history, where he filled up the Tunnel Trance Force Floor with massive trance-anthems and rocked more than 1.000 partypeople with his sound. DJ Cyre has set out to give the Germans a better understanding of Progressive Trance and to duly represent his home Europe-wide…

Nigerian singer Yemi Alade, who recently featured on Beyoncé’s ‘The Lion King: The Gift’ album, as one of nine prominent African artists; as a means to add that extra level of authenticity to the African tale. It’s been a long journey, for opportunities like this present itself to the native Nigerian pop-afrobeat star who is currently in the process of releasing her fourth studio album. To-date the singer has amassed an impressive catalogue of songs, that have created a frenzy in nightclubs across the globe. One such recent release in ‘Bounce’. Which was released only two months ago.

Yet Alade’s fans have been somewhat restless awaiting the release of her fourth studio project – Woman of Steel, which was scheduled for release a month ago. As a means to appease her fans the afrobeat star dropped a couple more single releases – ‘Home’ and ‘Give Dem’.

‘Home’ a little slower and more traditional is an emotional piece. Whist ‘Give Dem’ is a more high-energy afrobeat track.  Along with these two single releases Alade also released some artwork teasers, a very regal and impressive image of herself dressed in what seems to be the outfit of an Egyptian Empress such as Nefertiti or MerNeith.

It is now anticipated that the ‘Woman of Steel’ album will finally be released on the 30th August.

Big Al Staggs’ new single / video “Been There Done That” is the first of 10 songs off the brand new “SoLo” album that features 10 freshly cooked original compositions. 

If you aren’t uplifted by the message, energy and positivity, go see a doctor. This isn’t just another song, it’s an uplifting moment, a tangible positive force that this battered society so desperately needs.

His storied career with the Left Wing Fascists and Moaning Lisas has fueled this epic offering of sheer energy, good vibes and terrific storytelling. 

Speaking of storytelling, the lyrical content is one that every man and some ladies can surely relate to. 

The tribal chant accompanying Big Al on lead vocals resets the stage for glimpses and memories of nights he can’t remember with friends that he’ll never forget. Just when you’d thought “you’d been there and done that”, “you ain’t seen the likes of her”; a life altering partner who’ll show you “you ain’t seen nothin’ yet”!

This new single and video is produced and directed by the former lead guitarist for Iggy Pop and David Bowie, Stacy Heydon. Stacy is also known for his production work of the rock band Sheriff’s #1 Billboard Hot 100 single “When I’m with You” (Capitol Records).  

The music video was filmed in San Clemente CA, and includes actual real life events unfolding as the crew moved from location to location (the arrest scene and the girl in the Target parking lot removing her warmed up burrito from the running engine of her parked car)… yes really!

A perfect fit for the “Been There Done That” theme.

Big Al is from Norfolk Virginia, but his writing is from the heart and his vocal delivery is from his soul.

Check out this new single and please contact us for the complete album release set for this January 1, 2020.

This song is definitely hot if you like latin music. Their new Album is entitled “Electro Pachamámico” is a tribute to the diversity and wealth of Latin America and its people, celebrating the continent’s legacy: it is based on indigenous and creole rhythms from the Andes and the Caribbean, featuring the Charango, Quena, ( original instruments from los Andes ) Timbales, Guitar, Moog synthesizer, Güira, the Gaita (indigenous flute from the Colombian Andes) the Tambor Alegre (Afro-Colombian percussion) and more.
