Emir Taha
Bridging Eastern and Western sounds, Emir’s debut EP was Co-produced by Detonate (Diplo, Labrinth) and Jay Moon (Col3trane, Joy Crookes) and strikes a balance between R&B and an LA-influenced trap landscape,
Hoppa pt 1 has already notched up over 2 million streams and recognition from international peers including Wale and Benny Blanco. Also co-writing mega hits for the likes of Jackson Wang (100 Ways) and Why Don’t We (Unbelievable), Emir built his loyal online following in 2016 after his re-edit of Kanye’s ‘Ultralight Beam’ which dominated the Spotify Viral Chart.
Joy Club
Debut single ‘In the Night’ out now.
Matt Maltese
Matt’s debut album ‘Bad Contestant’ (2018) was the birth of a deeply charismatic singer-songwriter - an introduction to an earnest romantic who harboured a self-effacing inner-voice and loved throwing in sardonic one-liners wherever he could.
More recently ‘Krystal‘ (2019) has received admiration from the likes of The Guardian and Frank Ocean (who featured Rom-Com Gone Wrong on Blonded). New music to follow in 2020.
PREP
In 2015 the four members of PREP came together to cut deep grooves that mine contemporary R&B and electronica while hearkening back to the soft, sheer sound of the late ’70s and early ‘80s—what some listeners have retroactively dubbed yacht rock.
The unique pleasure of a brief wallow in melancholy—what you hear on new stand-out tracks like “Over” and “Love Breaks Down”—that’s PREP. The full-length debut album will follow in late 2020.
