NineTiss – Take Me Home feat. Annabelle
Songwriter and performer NineTiss oscillates between different musical styles including Rap, R&B and Soul to best transmit his music and texts in all its forms. In an era sometimes noisy, where listening is rare, his music is like a walk with a sweet tempo..
He returns on June 18, with his new single Take Me Home from his next EP Juste après l’orage. This title represents for him a new breath, He goes out of his comfort zone and experiences Afrobeat sounds, a style of music that he listened to throughout his childhood and that he loves enormously.
It is a lovely, sunny piece accompanied by the sweet voice of Annabelle. A feminine signature that is often found in NineTiss music.
After a harsh winter in which melancholy, boredom and weariness were very present in his daily life, his passion for music reminded him that the light he needed was already in him. It inspired him to prepare his EP Juste après l’orage that breathes the sun, freedom and joy of life.
A 4 tracks accompanied by singers Annabelle, Cuanto and Cornic.
A project that will accompany us all this summer to take full advantage of the reopening of the bars, of a life a little brighter that we were all looking forward to..

Electrik Ants – Place To Be
Electrik Ants Defy Classification With Genre-Bending First Album
Dallas-based Electrik Ants are releasing their six-track live studio album Stories Untoldon May 6, 2021 to all platforms.
Recorded on January 6, 2020, no one in Electrik Ants knew what the year or COVID-19 would have in store. Encapsulating the energy of a group described by local media as the “next must-see band” and “busting at the seams with talent,” the Best New Act Award winners recorded live to embody their notoriously vibrant shows–honed playing the likes of the Backwoods Music Festival and opening for Grammy-winner Shaun Martin.
Writing music together since their instruments were pots and pans, Electrik Ants was formed by two brothers who listen to as much Tchaikovsky as Skrillex, as much Thelonious Monk as UGK, and debate Frank Zappa or Gorillaz with regularity. In doing so, Electrik Ants are pioneering the “Hip-Hop Fusion” genre they’ve helped create.

Youthstar [Feature Story]
“OUT PAST CURFEW” is the outcome of the exclusive collaboration of the two MCs and performers Youthstar & Miscellaneous (Chill Bump) in a unique opus. Taking advantage of unexpected free time, they turned 2020 into the perfect year to develop the project and make it happen. It’s hard to overlook the eclecticism, the richness of the subjects covered, the completely crazy flows and the head banging loops of this album whose creation process was the fastest of their respective careers.
Last straight line before the release of the album “OUT PAST CURFEW” from the combo Youthstar & Miscellaneous (Chill Bump) on October 29th with the edgy single KITSUNEGARI between Grime, Bass Music and UK HipHop produced by Mr Frenchwax from the group Supachill. The track drops with a musicvideo in the image of this crazy song and prepares the ground for the title DROPPING LIKE FLIES which will accompany the release of the album at the end of October.
CLASSIC is a true tribute to the 90’s boombap and to all the great MCs who made Hip-Hop. Youthstar & Miscellaneous, surrounded by Cheeko (french rapper from the band Phases Cachées), Skillz & Vex, 2 hyped DJs & scratchers, on a super efficient and sampled production by the beatmaker Degiheugi. One by one, the 3 Mcs express all their consideration for their elders, from Rakim to Jay-Z, from The Roots to the Wu Tang, and even from Doc Gyneco to Mc Solar… they admit frankly that they wouldn’t be here today without them ! “If it weren’t for all of y’all there wouldn’t be none of us… The magic 90’s brought us all to this rap shit!”
“2 shots no chaser” is the first single from the joint album “Out Past Curfew” by Youthstar & Miscellaneous (Chill Bump).
No different from these two entertainers, the track diffuses the same vibrant energy that the MCs deliver on stage. Between two shots of vodka, this colorful music video, shot in the streets of Barcelona, perfectly reflects the different shades they intentionally painted in this opus. It’s the first taste of their explosive upcoming album!

Ghostown – Breadstick Bowtie (Official Music Video)
Late 90s hip hop vibe with a heavy dose of turntablism.
Blurring the lines between cinema and music,
A Greek guitar riff plays out over a summer evening Sicilian patio, Luciano and Gyp are playing cards when suddenly a bass drum can be heard and the record starts skipping, “Got got got got the shotgun” the stuttered phrase startles them, they look round and see Omar with his gun pointed at them, shiiiiiiiiit!
Lyrics and dialogue are integrated together to present a gangster-esque scenario of kill or be killed, it’s all in the game yo.
Musically centred around a 1920s greek guitar riff and hip hop beats,
Structurally the first part of the song is made up of a constant back and forth between the rap and scratched dialogue until it reaches it’s climax, then the song drops us into a subterranean underwater universe more akin to trip hop, before sliding us back into the main riff where the DJ takes over on the cuts.
Marcus Gad meets Tamal – Brave New World (Official Music Video)
Marcus Gad is a reggae and hip hop singer from New Caledonia (South Pacific Ocean Island) who released 2 albums and 3 Eps since 2015. This new single “Brave New World” released on 04.02.21, is the first from his upcoming new album “Brave New World” . The song has been written during the 1st French Lockdown, the music video has been shot in Paris during the second lockdown, and it just has been released during the third lockdown in France.
Back then, we had spent weeks speculating about what was going on behind the curtains, but somehow had the feeling that something we had fore-sensed for years was unraveling.
Marcus Gad
After two months in the peace of our countryside dwelling in the south of France, going up to Paris to record songs with my beatmaker Tamal
was quite an interesting experience. As I was walking out into what seemed to be yet another dystopia, I couldn’t help but thinking about Huxley’s Brave New World.
Going up to the studio, I had to sing about it, in the same satirical fashion, and this song was born.
Overall, I believe the way we face the challenges that await us today, as a humanity, are of utmost importance.
We cannot run away from the factual reality of what is going down.
However, the way we decide face it is entirely our choice.
I chose love and trust.
YNG Nine – FORGETABOUTIT [Lyric Video]
I was inspired to write this song after I finished watching Mike Newel’s movie “Donnie Brasco. I do worry a lot and I guess that’s what this song is about, I suffered a tough loss and I’ve caught myself to be slightly paranoid at times so I wanted to put it in the song too.
YNG Nine
This song is another one of those blunt impulses so I wanted to drop it right away, for no particular reason. I’d like it to make a bit of noise since.
