ICYMI: AMMO Releases New House Single “I LIKE IT A LOT” ft Sir Bloke
Pop producer savant–AMMO–delivers his highly-anticipated novelty house track, “I Like It Alot” on Thrive Music. From being one of the most in-demand producers in pop music, AMMO branches out into the global DJ scene with a debut song that has all the ingredients to become a breakout global hit.
“I Like It Alot” blasts off with a catchy thumping bass line and ringing cowbells, all layered over an addictive beat that leads into the instantly recognizable vocals of Sir Bloke. While the lyrics themselves propel listeners into the glamorous experience of nightlife, the true novelty of the track is that the featured vocals come from one of the biggest pop stars in the world (under his alter-ego, Sir Bloke).
New single here from Norwegian Grammy-winning sophisti-pop septet The Switch – ‘Spring in the Forest of Time’ – which, at times, incorporates the genre of Muzak (that’s ‘elevator music’ in layman’s terms), through the off-kilter time signature and syncopated instrumental and percussion parts.
From budding seeds to the overarching themes of this viridescent volume, the outfit hones something stylistically varied, surrealistically inclined and tactile, like a brightly plumaged exotic bird lost in the upper stretches of the northern hemisphere.

Welcome To Mirrorland — EarthGang Debut Album Out Now!
Dreamville/Interscope Records duo, EarthGang, comprised of Olu and WowGr8, have released their highly anticipated debut album, Mirrorland. The long awaited project from the Atlanta natives packs a punch with 14 meticulously curated tracks, including previously released “Proud of U” featuring Young Thug, with 10 million Spotify streams, and “Up,” which first premiered on COLORS Berlin almost a year ago to this day. Mirrorland is a reimagination of “The Wiz,” a love letter to EarthGang’s hometown of Atlanta; the pair have spent two years creating a fluid project that ebbs and flows in multiple directions, held together by its homage to the various eras of hip hop. With the release of Mirrorland, combined with their multiple contributions to Dreamville’s Revenge of the Dreamers III album, EarthGang prove that they are artists with technicolor vision and a mission to succeed.
Written at 5am on a cold Winterís night, ëWild Youthí is the product of JRLís signature Summer sound coupled with Kid Spiritís songwriting and co-prod.
