Shortly thereafter, he signed tracks “Supreme” and “Turn It Up” to Spinnin’ Records, and released “Drop” through Dim Mak. In less than a year, Mercer has received support from music’s biggest names such as 2014’s #1 DJ in the World Hardwell, Nicky Romero, ZEDD, Avicii, and Steve Angello. In addition to performing for enormous crowds at festivals such as HARD Summer, IleSonique, TomorrowWorld, Inox, and Life is Beautiful, Mercer will also be playing alongside fellow Frenchmen DJ Snake, Tchami, and Malaa at Holy Ship! With such an impressive portfolio already, there is no doubt that 2016 will be an even brighter year for Mercer.

COLBY BRIGHT X YOUNG BUCK
Hip Hop artist Colby Bright announced today the release of his new single, “Dollar & A Dream” featuring Nashville’s very own Young Buck, who is also a member of the East Coast hip hop group G-Unit. Colby released a string of singles featuring several of Hip Hop’s biggest names. The Texas-native has been on a campaign for quite some time and seems to be finally getting his due recognition. Tailing on the success from his latest mixtape, “Victory Lap 2.0: The Resurrection”, Colby proves he is far from an artist with connections, but also a lyricist who can actually “rap”. The hip hop artist plans to release another hit single titled “Jus BonaFide” featuring The Game and produced by his 1 Krown Entertainment label mate.

MAKELOVE “DIVE IN”
Based in the countryside just outside of London, MakeLove blends pop, funk, and soul to create a sound which is instantly pleasing, wonderfully inventive, and consistently enjoyable. Welding together crisp electronics, with funk-laced bass lines, brought together by warm, timeless vocal passages – ‘Dive In’ is another hugely impressive offering.
Here’s a quote from MakeLove himself: “‘Dive in’ is a love song. In all of the music I write there is a plead from one to another. Wanting or needing love and not being able to hide that affection. At the time of writing I was watching a lot of Charlie Chaplin films and listening to a lot of Paul McCartney when he decided to go disco for 20 minutes. Chaplin always played characters that do ridiculous acts to earn the love of others. Unashamed dancing and unashamed love.”

JULIEN BAKER “SPRAINED ANKLE” VIDEO PREMIERE VIA STEREOGUM
Stripped-back and raw with emotion, Sprained Ankle is an intimate and exquisite debut. Baker wrote the album’s nine songs across 2014, following her move from Memphis to Murfreesboro for college. Away from her family and close friends (including her band Forrister), writing proved to be a creative, cathartic outlet for her loneliness. The resultant songs are confessional yet accessible, personally contemplative yet universally relatable, unsparingly honest yet deeply heartening – and filled with tales of staggering experiences and striking imagery.

From here to there – out there, and everywhere.

Franco and the Dreadnought is the pseudonym of Manchester born multi instrumentalist John Blaylock. It’s a winning combination of his heartfelt vocals, superb songwriting skills and his trusty Dreadnought acoustic guitar.
Franco is no stranger to success and as a testament to the power of his musical ability, he was asked personally by Desmond Tutu to write a song celebrating the life of Nelson Mandela. The archbishop gave the song entitled “Inyaniso” (translation – “Truth”) as a gift to Mr Mandela for his birthday.
