KDYN - AIRPLANE MODE

Dartford teenager Cadyn Page, better known at DJ KDYN, has already wracked up more than a million plays on spotify across his previous tracks ’Thugs’, ‘Houston’ and ‘Papers’. Now with offering ‘Aeroplane Mode’, he is merging bass music with the Alt Pop/ EDM genres.
A brand new, vibey, summer, feel good, mood booster, ‘Aeroplane Mode’ is light and airy and a perfect backdrop to cocktails at the water side bar. This guy has got talent. Beachclub.
DUX & CHARLIE DAX - AGAIN & AGAIN

Kent-based MC and producer Dux has returned alongside Charlie Dax on a track that brings lyrical prowess and dialogue dexterity to the very forefront.
Known as part of duo Coalescent, Dux has been bagging plays on BBC 1Xtra, BBC Radio Kent and Flex FM for a few years now, often displaying his skills in nailing all manner of hip hop, rap and grime, in varying genres and time periods.
With ‘Again & Again’, the two take turns in baring their bars, with a continuous line of subject matter focused on staying true to themselves and not being pigeonholed into a specific style. Steadfast.
TRONIK YOUTH - U R A SLAVE

Canterbury techno pioneer Tronik Youth (AKA Neil Parnell), has been ripping up European dance floors with his mesmerising and enduring tracks for years, and with ‘U R A Slave’, he has continued on his quest to open the eyes and ears of his fans.
There is often a political or social message around his music, and the relentless beat of ‘U R A Slave’ provides the back drop to a vocalised bulletin, that I’m sure you can guess to contents of. It is brilliantly brutal. Direct.

YAS VW - WEAKNESS

Working with Neo Music, Canterbury R&B artist Yas VW has released the accoustic version of hit track ‘Weakness’ as part of the magazine’s ‘Neo-Coustics Sessions’.
As always with Yas VW tracks, honey-covered vocals silkily float across the melody that, this time is formed from chilled piano and soulful guitar. Yes the energetic drums have gone, but that thumping you can hear..? Yeah, that will be your heart beat as you fall in love with a totally brilliant song, in a new way. Version.
