    After teasing listeners with distinctively melody-driven releases earlier this summer, SLANDER returns to their hard-hitting, party-starting bass sound with their remix of Kill the Noise‘s “Jump Ya Body,” featuring vocals by Mercedes.

    The duo teamed up with up-and-coming Canadian producer Tucker Kreway for the remix, which opens with electro-inspired melodies-almost fooling listeners into believing this will be a tame track-before building to a drop that intermingles stabbing, machine gun-eque synths with grinding basslines. “Kill The Noise has always been a huge influence of ours over the years! After doing our remix for his album back in 2016 we knew we had to do another one sometime in the future and we felt ‘Jump Ya Body‘ was the perfect song to update and put our spin on!,” says SLANDER about the remix, which they are releasing as a free download. “Also, it was a privilege to work together with Tucker Kreway on this one! He’s an incredible upcoming talent from Canada and everyone should check out his music!” With rumors of a SLANDER tour in North & South America on the horizon, make sure to stay tuned for more details!

    SLANDER first made waves in the scene when they debuted their remix of Showtek‘s “We Like to Party” in 2014, coining their unique sound. However, SLANDER has proven they are capable of so much more than remixes and a singular genre. The duo caught the attention of the industry and fans alike with their original productions and an evolved sound, as recently evidenced on “Welcome To The Fire” with Sullivan King, “I Can’t Escape” with SAYMYNAME featuring Feli Ferraro and “Happy Now.” SLANDER teamed up with American Idol finalist Juliana Chahayed on their latest release “So Long,” a catchy future bass anthem with a summertime vibe. Their ability to produce both bass-heavy headbangers and emotionally stirring melodies distinguishes them as talented, multifaceted producers, not to mention their charismatic stage presence. Together with NGHTMRESLANDER has made their “Gud Vibrations” event concept into a bonafide lifestyle. In 2018 they sold out their Miami Music Week’s Gud Vibrations Boat Party in less than 3 minutes, and continue to branch out and grow their brand. This is only the beginning for SLANDER, so stay tuned to see what they have up their sleeve next.

    Cores releases R&B tinged single ‘Depend On Me’ featuring Maz

    0

    Bringing smooth summer vibes and classic R&B flavours, Cores joins forces with Maz for latest joint ‘Depend On Me’.

    Produced by Cores, ‘Depend On Me’ puts a 2018 spin on the Teedra Moses’ 2009 hit single ‘Be Your Girl’. Combining vibrant drum patterns with the mellow tones of Cores and Maz’ silky vocals  on the hook, the lyrics detail the peaks and troughs of a relationship and wanting to ‘have your cake and eat it too’. This tongue-in-cheek track does have a deeper layer to it though, exploring the idea of fear in love and relationships.

    Having spent the early 2000’s in the influential pirate radio crew ‘Haunted House Production’s’ the producer and emcee is verified in his authenticity. Flash back to Professor Green’s 2006 standout record ‘Upper Clapton Dance’, which featured the man himself, not only on production but laying down the final verse too. Although Cores honed in on his production craft, which awarded him with a string of ground-breaking records including Adamhood from the film Adulthood, Keep Moving by Paloma Faith, Bashy and Adam Deacon (from the 4, 3, 2, 1 movie soundtrack), and most notably as Executive Producer across all of Professor Green’s albums to date, his love and talent for emceeing has always remained burning bright.

    After returning to the mic last year with two new tracks as an artist and showcasing his abilities across the board as rapper, producer and mixer, ‘Depend On Me’ showcases his maturity and talent alongside intricately woven beats, high-end sonics and sharp-tongued bars,
