XTIE is an independent singer-songwriter / EDM producer from Hong Kong.

Weaving pounding pop rhythms into her rich soundscapes, her latest release “Virgo” is a stark indication of her ability to curate deeply personal narratives.

“Virgo” fizzes with vibrant melodies and pulsing synth patterns as XTIE’s vocals soar across the rich musical landscape. Connecting with her audience through personal narratives and intricate lyricism, the track is a reminder that “Perfection only exists when you learn to accept your flaws, it’s about letting go”, she explains. “People have stereotypes on the Virgo star sign (perfectionist, picky) which causes them to be one of the least favorite Zodiacs. I’m a Virgo, and proud of being one. Self-care and the ability to heal yourself is super important in this crazy age. Get to know yourself first, understand it and embrace it.”

Releasing her debut single ‘Flower Town’ in June 2020, the track generated over 42K streams on Spotify and caught the attention of SCMP Young Post and LOCK Magazine. The young artist has also performed at Clockenflap 2018, and collaborated with luxury brands such as FENDI and Swire Properties.

Effortlessly creating bubblegum-pop beats and sweeping melodies, her music will transport you to the euphoria of the dancefloor.

“Virgo” is out now.

Canadian dark-pop / alt prodigy Mikalyn Hay and co-write partner EDM and pop artist Xtro (Chris Graham) — has dusted off an earlier fave for a fresh remix with a global vibe in “Close”.

Discovered by International label and management outpost Reven, “Close feat. Mikalyn & Xtro” was reimagined by Brazilian bass / future / tech house artist RQntz (Requintes) and Russian EDM duo 39 Kingdom for the Spring 2020 release.

The original video from Mikalyn and Xtro’s initial imagining can be streamed above this post.

“‘Close’ was a very fun song to write,” Mikalyn recalls of the track’s creative process some two+ years ago. Hay and Graham — who were 16 at the time — collaborated for a six-track EP, Love Again where the original version of “Close” was featured. “Chris and I have written many songs and this one started out the same way all of them do: alternating between our makeshift home basement studios, mine in Guelph and his in Toronto.

“For ‘Close,’ we had been freestyling around the line ‘close to me’ and, once we had the song fully written, I knew it was my favourite,” she continues. “It’s been so cool seeing where the song started, and comparing it to what it’s become. It’s crazy.”

RQntz and 39 Kingdom’s take on “Close feat. Mikalyn & Xtro” is available now.

His first three releases – Underpants, Blame Game and Shoot Me Up – helped lay the foundations for Happy Cat Jay, an artist whose genre-blending groove is quickly making him one of the most exciting names on the scene.

Following his recent appearance on Eton Messy’s ADE sampler with Nautilus, the multi-instrumentalist producer is preparing to take things to the next level with a string of releases on the iconic Fat.

Channelling the power of the underground, Era Of A Niche Hero is the perfect blend of electronic and analogue influences – the funky guitar licks flow effortlessly alongside dreamy vocals and clever synth work that delivers a cool, laid-back cut that somehow brims with infectious energy. Showcasing his song-writing talent here, Happy Cat Jay not only plays every instrumental element of the production himself, but also provides the lush vocals which ensure this standout offering keeps you hooked and doesn’t just fade into the background.

“Simply put – this is my reflection on the world’s relationship with celebrity culture. Lyrically, it began as a sort of lamenting poetry about disappointment that I wrote years ago. Recently it took on a new meaning and it landed in this deep, funk-garagey context.” – Happy Cat Jay

With a follow-up single already lined up and a full EP scheduled to drop on Fat! Records at the end of February 2020, accompanied by his debut live show at the launch party, Happy Cat Jay has been biding his time to make sure that his sound is one which fully encompasses his abilities as a musician, producer and songwriter. Crossing genres with a mixture of electronic, funk, hip-hop and pop influences, expect plenty of surprises to come from Happy Cat Jay over the coming months, beginning 13^th December with Era Of A Niche Hero.
