Prolific Thrives In A Wasteland Of Grit And Dirt
Turntablist/emcee/self-made businessman and producer Prolific proudly presents the brand new album ‘Anthems Of A Desolate Wasteland‘. An ambitious project and the result of two years of hard work and dedication. With a vision to merge underground Hip Hop flavors with Dubstep and Trap, Prolific makes a unique and powerful statement. All vocals were recorded in “Foul Play’s” studio. Production, features, and remixes were done in collaboration with numerous talents from the Hip Hop and bass scenes. Each track was crafted to truly have its individual concept and feel.
When we were piecing the project together, I chose some of the finest talent around the world to work with. Tim Ismag, one of Russia’s top guys did a great job with ‘HYPE THE ROOM’. The track was made a while back and we saved it for the right project, Tony Anthem of Future Prophecies and Axl Ender did a tremendous job with ‘ROCKING IT’ mixing up heavy dub with a trap feel. The ‘PARTY ALL DAY’ track by 6blocc aka RAW carries that West Coast bass at its finest. You know, he’s a legend in LA and all over the world as far as I’m concerned. From Uk Killahurtz whom is involved with many successful projects and labels produced “Magic Carpet”. Mr. Ronins is an up and comer who killed it with ‘DANGEROUS’. Of course Cojaxx, a6, Kice of Course, and Ricky Raw of Mighty High Coup did great with their vocal features. I want to give a particular shout out to A6 whom has been a great friend and artist who did a lot of work on production and vocals and has always motivated me to make good music. Other big talents on the album include Partyson and Dekadence from Russia, Kirkus from UK, Ampr from Finland, Rask:l from Denmark, and D-Star, Philly’s finest.”ANTHEMS OF A DESOLATE WASTELAND

After releasing their first single “Thinking Of You” on Flamingo Recordings, the Austrian duo, HEART FX consisting of Markus Schulz & Mario Staniek, mesmerize us with their newly-born release with its tongue-in-cheek title, “King Without a Throne“. As the leading voice softly goes “I’m looking for a place to settle down, yes it’s hard to find the shelter in this town“, it transfers us to the cavernous space created somewhere above our heads, reminding us that everybody gets lonely and nostalgic at times. And so do HEART FX, bewitching us with their music sensibility and mysterious aura. You might be a bit surprised that the following label is responsible for the release. It’s the Dutch Big & Dirty brand, previously standing for edgy club sounds, are now redefining themselves. As they say about their new direction “We aspire to travel the world, only to worry about deadlines. We encourage freedom of speech, still rather stay quiet than cause a scene. We aim for real friendships, but spend valuable time on our phones. Yet we find balance in music. (…)‘Cause music works like a drug.” However, if we are to believe that the most glorious form of art is, indeed, music, then – Big & Dirty and HEART FX get along perfectly.

Both, the mysterious yet symbolic title and seemingly fairytale artwork for the cover of the single, “King Without A Throne” touch us with their enigmatic and sensitive aura. Still, the production, with all its halo does not bring any naive or shallow atmosphere to the track, but it perfectly suits what we would love to hear in cold, autumn evenings or what we would like to dance to on vivid dancefloors being surrounded by electronic music lovers. Just like HEART FX like listening to sad music when they’re down and dance in their rooms when they’re excited. That magical set of contradictions is smoothened by music which keeps them in balance, and “King Without A Throne” makes an excellent example to believe that our fresh duo, HEART FX cannot imagine life without their queen – music, herself and they will surely surprise us with their next, forthcoming singles.

Out now through Ultra Music comes a wicked pair of remixes inspired by Chelsea Cutler’s ‘Wake Up.’ The East Coast hailing singer and songwriter has just signed with the prestigious label, and this month sees both Sondr and Cuebrick take on her enigmatic single.

Sondr is up first with a delicately lilting remake, providing well-placed percussion and an easy sense of groove – layering Cutler’s vocals in waves over the top. The Cuebrick edit opens fluidly and with an air of serenity, before adding dynamic drum patterns, expressive chords and gathering tension with its progressive energy.
This remix package is a great introduction to the sounds of Chelsea Cutler, and both featured artists have put forward high caliber versions of the powerful ‘Wake Up.’
