NAO: New 'February 15' EP

Following her arrival last year with the infectious 'So Good', NAO announces her new EP 'February 15', set to be released digitally through her own label Little Tokyo Recordings on May 1st and physically via Dummy Records.

Continuing the theme of her first EP NAO combines cutting edge groove-led production with classic R'n'B / soul melodies but 'February 15' feels like a step up for the native Londoner. The synths and electronic drums remain but guitars and live bass play a bigger role on this record; "I'm a big fan of live instrumentation. It's the same as a voice to me, it captures emotion and an energy totally unique to your song. The likes of Prince & Chaka Khan are amazing for that."

With no record deal and no marketing budget, the success of NAO's debut EP came as quite a shock. Two days after she uploaded the title track to Soundcloud, 'So Good' found its way to Zane Lowe, which started a chain of events that would shape the year for NAO. Following his 'Next Hype' play the track started to gain a momentum and life of its own - leading to a #1 on HypeMachine, #4 on the iTunes electronic chart, a BBC 1XTRA playlist and 1.5 million plays on Soundcloud. She then went on to sell out her first two London shows in a matter of days and was asked to join Little Dragon on their 22-date European tour.

After working tirelessly over the past few months in a small Stoke Newington studio NAO hopes her second EP can have an even bigger impact.
She says "This is a more musical record. It's a proper record. I really hope it resonates with music lovers and musicians all over the world."

Wolf Alice: Biggest UK Tour To Date

Following a breathtaking start to 2015, which has so far taken in sold-out tours across North America, Europe and the UK, North London's Wolf Alice are now set to follow the festival season with their biggest tour to date this September, including a homecoming show at the prestigious Brixton Academy on the 26th.

The announcement follows the band sharing their new single 'Bros' - which fizzes and bubbles right from the off atop a frolicking drum beat and is an infectious ode to the elation that only truly great friendships can bring you; a euphoric moment dedicated to "everyone who's ever had a friend, and for those who haven't" - and comes ahead of the release of their debut album 'My Love Is Cool' on June 22nd.

From the enormous riffs of 'Giant Peach' to the muffled, urgent melodies of 'Lisbon' and hip-hop rhythms of 'Silk', 'My Love Is Cool' is a masterful, explorative statement of Wolf Alice's multiple characters.
Equal parts gigantic guitars and wistful, wilting beauty, 'My Love Is Cool' is a timeless collection of songs that outweighs any preconceived notions of what Wolf Alice are, or can be. The ambitions of Ellie Rowsell (guitar/vocals), Theo Ellis (bass), Joff Oddie (guitars) and Joel Amey (drums/vocals) are now fully realised in stunning widescreen.

Tickets for Wolf Alice's September tour will be on sale from Friday 1st May.

The single, taken from their recent top 10 debut album, 'Young Chasers' which was released in March, is accompanied by a video shot in Austin, Texas following their appearance at this year's SXSW Festival.

Currently in Europe on a headline tour, the band are set for a busy summer playing festivals around the globe, including appearances at Glastonbury, T in the Park and Reading / Leeds in the UK, Splendour In The Grass in Australia and Lollapalooza in the US.

After the success of 'Romance' Darius comes back with the single 'Helios' featuring Wayne Snow to be released onRoche Musique. It's no doubt that Darius has shown his special touch, and 'Helios' is another proof of the producer's talent and singularity.

The single is a deep and lovely ballad that fits perfectly to the voice of Wayne Snow.

Rat Boy: Debut Single 'Sign On'

After building an underground following after uploading his self-released debut EP 'The Mixtape' and touring as guest to Circa Waves, Rat Boy - AKA teenage producer / writer / multi-instrumentalist Jordan Cardy - will release his debut single 'Sign On' which impacts on June 1st, via Hometown Records.

'Sign On' is a state-of-the-nation anthem for those who have also experienced similar tales of lost jobs, empty bank accounts and being "young, dumb and living off mum." Sonically, 'Sign On' is contrastingly uplifting as it mixes an anarchic sense of melody with ramshackle beats and Rat Boy's character-fuelled raps.

'Sign On' is a single which is indicative of Rat Boy's style, in which his home-grown rhymes paint a lyrical dissertation of suburban Britain. It's a place in which stepping onto public transport is akin to entering a battlefield: a land of wannabe gangsters, muggings and sportswear casualties.

Although 'Sign On' is a co-production with James Dring, Rat Boy plans to produce everything else himself; he feels that co-writes would dilute his style; plans to continue to create all artwork himself (inspirations include skateboarding artist Mark Gonzales and Snoop Dogg associate Darryl 'Joe Cool' Daniels) as well as the accompanying music videos; and he has formed a band in which he's joined by three friends.
