If that blend of sounds doesn’t pique your interest, I’m…

There’s nothing better than a song that defies genre barriers and offers something truly different. ‘Keep It Going’ embodies this to the fullest extent. The track combines twerked out vocal loops, dubbed out basslines, hard rock influenced drum builds and airy soundscapes. The smattering of styles may seem awkward when described, but the talented producer weaves the track together perfectly.…

Sam Gellaitry never ceases to impress, with ‘Paper’ serving as further proof.

Built around a “get em up” sample, the aptly titled track is guaranteed to have hands waving high and booties dropping low. Stream the tune below and grab…
