Party Favor & Bipolar Sunshine Team Up For Dancefloor-Friendly Urban Track “Circle Up” & Technicolor Video
Notorious party-starter Party Favor teams up with vocalist Bipolar Sunshine for his latest booty-shaking production “Circle Up”, accompanied by a technicolor music video that will send you straight to a trippy tropical oasis. “Circle Up” delivers tribal-influenced percussion and basslines coupled with some reggaeton instrumentals, making for a dancefloor-friendly track that – per the music video – comes with its own set of ready-made moves. Through combining multiple genres into a forward-thinking sound that doesn’t fall short on the fun factor, Party Favor continues to blaze a bold new path in electronic music. The track rounds out a very successful 2018 for Party Favor, with highlights including a massive performance at Coachella where he brought out Jamie Foxx, Tyga and Rich The Kid, a wild set at Hard summer, and an overflowing tent at Life Is Beautiful. He is preparing to begin his new residencies at some of the world’s most prominent venues – Hakkasan Las Vegas, E11EVEN Miami and Premiere Nightclub in Atlantic City, so look to hear “Circle Up” on heavy rotation as the weather cools down and the clubs heat up.

Party Favor boasts one of the most diverse and accomplished resumes in the industry as an DJ, producer and boundary-pushing artist. His music has helped the festival trap and twerk scenes rise to unforseen popularity in dance music, and frequently blurs the boundaries between electronic, rap, reggae, and many other genres. Party Favor has a heavy rotation of hit originals, such as “Bap U,” “Caskets,” “Give It To Me Twice,” “In My Head” and his recent “MDR,” which have lead to his impressive 135 million plays on Spotify and Soundcloud. Additionally, he’s worked as a producer for some of the biggest names in the industry, such as Lil Jon’s “Alive,” which featured 2 Chainz and Offset from Migos, and ASAP Ferg’s “Eulogy” from the Madden 2018 video game. The collaboration with Bipolar Sunshine marks the coming together of two forces to be reckoned with in electronic crossover music. Bipolar Sunshine is known for his work with DJ Snake on “The Middle,” Gryffin’s “Whole Heart” and recently San Holo’s “brighter days.” Stay tuned for more new music in 2019 from these rising stars.

Bassjackers’ “Wrong Or Right” Based On 80s “The Riddle” Theme
Dutch duo Bassjackers returns with their new release “Wrong Or Right” on Spinnin’ Records, based on the famed melody from Nik Kershaw’s 1984 release “The Riddle.” While the original itself might invoke an enigmatic feeling, Bassjackers put their own festival spin on it with organic instrumental melodies and an energetic, dynamic bassline. The result is unexpectedly upbeat, especially when complemented by the top line and its lyrics that the duo wrote themselves. Bassjackers are still riding the wave of their 6-track “Les Pays Bass” EP on Smash the House from last month, which showcased their diverse sonic range and production prowess. “Wrong or Right.” This one is bound to be lighting up dancefloors during Bassjackers sets as well as radio airwaves. With more releases in the pipeline, including Bassjackers’ forthcoming single “Traffic,” which is currently being heavily supported by Tiësto himself, we can only assume that it will be a productive and successful summer for the legendary Dutch duo.
“‘The Riddle’s melody has always been one of our favorites, and this is our second remake of it. The first one is a festival banger with almost 40 million streams on Spotify alone. This time we upped the ante by writing our own vocals to it and have it revolve more around that epic whistle.” — Bassjackers
Bassjackers exploded onto the scene, and in 2011 their dancefloor bomb “Mush Mush” was picked up by Tiësto and released on his label Musical Freedom. The track dominated the Beatport top 10 charts for over two months and was one of the biggest festival tracks of the year. This was a sign of things to come. Since then, Bassjackers have reached massive new heights in their career with numerous chart-topping bangers and hit collaborations with the likes of Martin Garrix, Afrojack, KSHMR, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, R3HAB, and Showtek, to name a few, as well as remixes for A-list artists including Rihanna, Enrique Iglesias, Moby, and Ne-Yo. At the top of their game, Bassjackers continue to tear up stages worldwide and wow crowds along the way.

3MPTY & KINGDM Debut “IJWLY (I Just Wanna Love You)” Via Destructivo
After spending several years in London and L.A., long-time friends Luca and Lorenzo reunited in the scenery of the Italian Alps, where 3MPTY was born and formed out of the desire to rediscover their musical roots and give birth to an honest, mature musical project. The pair are now officially lifting the lid on a period of studio creativity to reveal their debut single, “IJWLY (I Just Wanna Love You)” with KINGDM.
Released on the newly minted label Destructivo, a sublabel of Tileyard Music group, 3MPTY’s debut single opens with a heavily processed autotuned voice before it pairs with a hazed-out, upbeat groove and pitched-down creeping melody. However, far from seeking to create main room fodder, 3MPTY have taken the path to craft a single that gels their influences of dark UK Garage to meet ambient atmospheric whilst showcasing the duos’ respective pedigrees as producers.
Discussing how the project came together, 3MPTY said, “We have been long-time friends and share similar musical backgrounds. We first reunited in the Tuscany hills, where we wrote IJWLY and decided to embrace a new music project together.”
Lorenzo, previously a founding member of D.J. duo Sondr, has amassed over 100M streams, including earning Gold records with singles “Surviving” and “Live Love Learn.” Lorenzo is also a prolific songwriter, having penned numerous hit dance records, including as a co-writer on the Top 10 record “Heartbreak Anthem” for David Guetta, Galantis, and Little Mix (400m streams, 2 x platinum).
Co-founding member of 3MPTY, Luca, aka KINGDM, has equally crafted his fair share of full-sized hits, most notably his single “Baby” featuring Kevin Garrett, which entered the Top 10 of Spotify’s global and U.S. Viral 50 charts. Throughout his career, Zane Lowe and Annie Mac championed Luca’s music and received support on radio stations such as KCRW, Beats 1, BBC1, and BBC2.
Hitting the ground running with “IJWLY (I Just Wanna Love You),” a towering end-of-the-night track, the duo is eager to have an ear towards the underground club scene and display a wide range of genre influences with their new artist venture, 3MPTY.
