Shane Codd

Blurring the lines of no-nonsense house music and winding R&B grooves, Irish DJ producer Shane Codd drops sound-of-the-summer contender ‘Good To Me’ on TYM Recordings.

‘Good To Me’ immediately infatuates with the instantly recognisable lyrics of the 80s original ‘Just Be Good To Me,’ a certified R&B classic known to get the dancefloor grooving. Shane Codd quickly turns sultry into swagger, laying down an irresistible keys melody and upping the feel-good energy on the driving house beat, which calls to be played out on a mainstage festival sound system. Reaching the final break, pure sonic ecstasy takes over in a melodic outburst that is as effortlessly cool, clean-cut and contemporary as it is true to timeless dance hits of the early 00s – a sure-fire flex of this breakthrough producer’s limitless skillset in the studio.

Josh Hicks

Newly rising star Josh Hicks launches his highly anticipated fourth single, Honest. Following up from his first release ‘Self Seeking’ (The Highest Order Of Selfishness), which earned a coveted spot on BBC Radio Wales A-LIST, coupled with his second release ‘Everything About You’.

‘Honest’ represents everyone who’s lost their voice trying to please people, acknowledging that it doesn’t hurt to communicate how you really feel. In simpler terms, not conforming into other people’s visions of you. Sonically, this track is a fusion of pop, jazz, soul and R&B. Josh Hicks brings a real sense of chilled, old soul vocals to a passionate subject, to relay the idea of acceptance and tranquility within himself. Underpinned is this hip-hop drum rhythm and funky bass line, moulded in serenity which only echoes the track’s message of being true and speaking up for yourself.

A!MS

UK rap innovator A!MS is back with his genre-hopping, time-skipping new summer banger ‘House On The Beach’, out 24th of May.

‘House On The Beach’ is A!MS’ biggest anthem yet, harking back to the sun-kissed nostalgia of the early 2000s with UKG vibes, drill-inspired drum patterns and a hard-hitting grime bass-line to accompany UK Rap favourite ZieZie’s fire verse. From the Mediterranean guitar backdrop to the uptempo chorus switch up, this is a record that carries a piece of each decade from the 2000s to the 2010s, up to today and beyond.

They’ve been compared to the likes of Haley Williams (Paramore), London Grammar and Oh Wonder.
