Kx5

NEW SINGLE: Sacrifice (feat. Sofi Tukker)
 Energetic   House 

"It's a rush to be blessed with a full musical project from Kaskade and deadmau5" -Billboard

Hot off the heels of "Escape"'s nomination for iHeart Radio Music Awards' Best Dance Song of the Year, powerhouse EDM duo Kx5 are back with another phenomenal track, this time featuring Sofi Tukker. 2023 is lined up to be a banner year for the pair, which is hard to believe after they took the latter half of 2022 by storm -- putting on the biggest show house music has ever seen, they earned looks from legendary publications like Billboard, Rolling Stone, and more. Gearing up for an album release in the coming months, as well as marquee performances at Miami's Ultra Music Festival and Printworks in London, Kx5 has made it clear that they can and will not be ignored, both in the EDM community and by the greater music community at large.

Laufey & The
Iceland Symphon..

New Single: Valentine
 Romantic   CLASSICAL 

"Recorded last year during her sold out show with the Iceland Symphony Orchestra - you can pretty much hear Laufey’s dreams coming true on the orchestral version of ‘Valentine’." -Gigwise

Laufey rings in another Valentine's Day by sharing a live, symphonic version of her most loved record, "Valentine" -- this time featuring the renowned Iceland Symphony Orchestra. The collaboration is a product of two magical (and sold out) nights at Reykjavik's Harpa Concert Hall last October, where Laufey played alongside the Iceland Symphony Orchestra -- a dream come true for the hometown Icelandic-Chinese singer-songwriter. The original recording of “Valentine” currently sits over 35 million streams; with buzz from sources like Clash and Gigwise about an extension of her live symphony concert coming soon, Laufey continues to carve out a space for herself as an indie pop icon who embraces musical tradition.

Representing the more tender and soulful side of Freya's forthcoming album, Blood Orange, the UK pop icon is setting up for her most impactful and diverse body of work to date. With early murmurings from publications like Women in Pop and commercial support from the likes of Virgin Radio, all eyes will be on Freya as her career soars to new heights.

Eloise

NEW SINGLE: Giant Feelings
 Indie Pop 

"What Eloise has created is a view into what she has to offer, all while leaving room for so much more to come." -Line of Best Fit

"Giant Feelings" sees 23-year-old singer-songwriter Eloise broadening her horizons, applying her pop prowess to a much wider palette of sounds and taking bigger and braver leaps. A coming of age record about embracing the moment, it is a heartbreak anthem that empowers listeners to luxuriate in their feelings – however messy or complicated they may be. As the Billie Eilish, Sam Smith, and Burt Bacharach-approved star puts it, “this is the sound of me putting my flag in the ground as an artist." Having already seen shoutouts from artist to watch publications like Earmilk, Ones to Watch, Pop Matters, and Line of Best Fit, Eloise's flag is poised to wave proudly in 2023.

Release date 17 February 2023
