“This track was originally an idea of Simon’s conceived in our home studio. We sent it back and forth to each other over a period of a week, until it became what you hear today. We had a lot of fun with this song. We tend to always produce our favourite works when we’re evenly…

Van Boom – Neoprene
“I had started production around late 2015. The main concept about Neoprene was to make the listeners get really confused in a way of making them feel very isolated, and that was my current goal before releasing the track.” Follow Van Boom: Instagram Twitter
Quote Club: Fabian Secon
“5ive and I met online around January 2016”, Fabian explains. “Having a mutual appreciation for each other’s talent, we started working instantly.

Launchpad: Madeleine Rosenthal
Fire debut alert! I love being introduced to an artist with seemingly boundless potential.

Her new single ‘Golden’ is a gorgeous piece of alt-R&B; well written melodies glide on a dynamic tide, with a stark beat providing rhythmic interest. “Golden is…

Tony Black – Get Back
“On “Get Back” I wanted to blend a summer time pop sound with a rap twist while still having a message and making it radio friendly. I think we’ve all been in a similar situation where what we have or what we are doing isn’t necessarily fulfilling that need we sometimes have a yearning for. So this song,…
