SPEKREFREKS - Cant stop (Heyson Remix) RagtimeRecords 2023-04-21 | Listen/Stream Here: https://cygnusmusic.link/ejx1ja6SPEKRFREKS (pronounced speaker freaks) come from San Francisco, CA. Musical collaborators since high school, this duo got their jump-start after being signed to remix Deadmau5 and Melleefresh in 2010, and helping to pioneer a popular Electro House sound. In 2013 they combined their love of 1920s Swing Music with hard-hitting Bass House and Glitch Hop using live instruments combined with electronic productions. This musical blend landed them in their first Beatport #1 spot, with several #1 and #2 charting positions to follow. SPEKRFREKS most recent boundary-defying 11 track album titled ‘Roaring 2020s’ is full of catchy riffs and futuristic sounds which of course are going to grab remixers attentions. On remix duties this time is Heyson remixing SPEKRFREKS classic 'Can't Stop'. The Orange County producer is dedicated to exploring and reimagining all corners of the house music universe. The backbone of every Heyson track is the bass; his rare balance of playfulness and raw aggression inevitably results in bangers of unprecedented magnitude. Heyson's remix adds a fresh and modern twist that is sure to appeal to fans of both Electro Swing and Tech House. The driving house beats, electrifying bass and crisp production make this remix a standout.Heysonopen.spotify.com/artist/7ooKNV7aBXuyijq6bYvvQR?si=3PO9ZrFzSB2_CHS23QIOgASPEKRFREKSwww.soundcloud.com/spekrfreksopen.spotify.com/artist/57o1xDLTwTWP1PgZo2GDZ1facebook.com/RagtimeRecords

Extra Medium feat. MARIA - Jazz In You RagtimeRecords 2023-03-08 | Extra Medium & MARIA have put together a high energy Jazz meets Drum & Bass track that puts the listener firmly into the Jazz club. Extra Medium is a Bristol born producer that has been taking on the influences of the city’s underground music scene and fusing it with Jazz music. His love for Jazz and obscure sampling has led him to fuse the rolling sounds of drum and bass and the big shuffling energy of UK Garage, creating a unique and big take on bass driven dance music. MARIA is best known as the front lady from the Dutty Moonshine Big Band and the "Jazz In You" shows off her full range. With choral high notes and few mean sixteens, MARIA shows off how important the jazz in you is. The "Jazz In You" is one to keep your "Jazz hands waggling" whilst pulling a mean bass face. This track is unique in the way it gives a feeling of being in a chilled jazz bar whilst simultaneously being fused with the impact of big energy drum & bass & a powerful front lady MCing with a message of gender equality and how you need to love the Jazz In You.https://cygnusmusic.link/dv02m5pExtra Medium socials:soundcloud.com/extramediumfacebook.com/extramedium1MARIA socials:instagram.com/justmetagirlnamed_maria_facebook.com/justmetagirlnamedMARIARagtime Records socials:soundcloud.com/ragtime-recordsfacebook.com/RagtimeRecords

Emma Lea with Odd Chap - Wicked RagtimeRecords 2022-10-28 | Emma Lea is an accomplished writer and artist, having had many appearances including a release on Hed Kandi, being on the Radio One playlist and being featured as Pete Tong's song of the week, amongst many other labels. In 2017 Emma discovered the world of Electro Swing and has never looked back since. Since then she has written and featured with the top names in the scene including Jamie Berry, Wolfgang Lohr, Odd Chap, and Bart & Baker.On her latest release, she has collabed with Odd Chap. Hailing from New Zealand, Odd Chap has been making huge waves since he rolled onto the Electro Swing scene in 2015, and with releases on Freshley Squeezed and Electro Swing Thing notching up millions of plays on Spotify, he has no plans on slowing down anytime soon.As with Emma's previous releae "Big Bad Wolf", "Wicked" comes with a story, as after all, songs are just stories to music! The story behind "Wicked" is about feeling trapped and totally powerless by the actions of an individual, but finally finding the courage to speak up. However it may seem, this story isn't a negative one, because although they are negative feelings, it possesses some form of empowerment by shouting them out! Telling the person how you feel about them is far better than suffering in silence, and by doing so, it gives you back your voice. With touching lyrics and some equally emotive instrumentation, hopefully "Wicked" gives some inspiration to those who need it!Emma Leafacebook.com/EmmaLeaMusicinstagram.com/emmaleamusicOdd Chapyoutube.com/c/OddChapopen.spotify.com/artist/OddChap

Emma Lea, Atom Smith - Big Bad Wolf (Electro Swing) RagtimeRecords 2022-09-26 | More Streaming/DL links here:https://cygnusmusic.link/wg074erEmma Lea is an accomplished writer and artist, having had many appearances including a release on Hed Kandi, being on the Radio One playlist and being featured as Pete Tong's song of the week, amongst many other labels. In 2017 Emma discovered the world of Electro Swing and has never looked back since. Since then she has written and featured with the top names in the scene including Jamie Berry, Wolfgang Lohr, Odd Chap, and Bart & Baker.This time Emma has teamed up with LA based producer Atom Smith on the track 'Big Bad Wolf'. Atom, who is one half of The Gentlemen Callers of LA, has proved himself to be a key player on the vintage remix scene having had official remixes for the likes of Disney, and platinum-selling artist Caro Emerald.The moral behind the track 'Big Bad Wolf' is about being brave, even when you feel incredibly intimidated. There are some big and powerful players within the music industry who can be cruel, and don't always have your best interests as their primary goal. They can lure you in using your dreams as bate, and then bring you down with their words, as describes the line "he's got a dangerous smile and a dangerous bite".In the 'Big Bad Wolf' Emma is saying she is no longer scared or intimidated of these characters she has met over the years. She knows who she is and feels finally free and confident to be exactly who she wants to be, without needing their admiration or opportunities. The casual tempo of the track gives Emma's lyrics and mesmerising voice a chance to shine through the backing track, which iteself is bursting with nostagic seductiveness provided by piano and sultry vintage brass samples.#ElectroSwing #Electro Swing

The Fritz ) - Long Time. https://cygnusmusic.link/q1p8vrd Aside from his abnormal dance moves, Kurnel MC is the proud owner of a dextrous singing voice and witty rapping. Hailing from the far away lands of New Zealand, Kurnel moved to the UK in 2012, and has since infiltrated many of the UK's scenes, rocking microphones for numerous labels. With over 20 years in the game, Kurnel MC has the edge when it comes to finding the perfect balance between rocking the crowd with maximum energy, and letting the music breathe. As the word on the street has it, Falmouth based Hip Hop producer The Fritz, had been working on something particularly jazzy and soulful since the release of his debut EP 'Schweet'. In steps Kurnel MC, who on hearing the beat knew it was the perfect vessel for telling his story about the troubles of a long distance relationship, and 'Long Time' was born. Joined by Sharleena Ray, the beautifully soulful singer and former frontwoman of The Swinghoppers, the pair soulfully tell the story which many can relate to, a story of separation and heartache, and ultimately reunion. Over a lucious vintage piano lick, the pair tell the story; each verse written like love letters between the couple penned in smokey jazz clubs and sealed with a kiss. #electroswing #swinghop #jazzhop #music #lovesongs #hiphoplife #undergroundmusic #vintage
