DISCLOSURE TO RELEASE DEBUT ALBUM 'SETTTLE' - JUNE 3RD/LIVE DATES

Image
Having steadily built a name for themselves as purveyors of a standard of music production way beyond their tender years, Disclosure have spent a solid couple of years honing their prolific output, which includes two Top 10 singles so far in 2013. Now they are delighted to announce that their debut album, ‘Settle’, will be released on June 3rd through PMR Records (home to, among others, Jessie Ware and Julio Bashmore). For a while it seemed like the chain-of-command in Britain’s dance establishment was forever set in stone. The Chemical Brothers, Basement Jaxx and Fatboy Slim would headline festivals from now until the end of days. The only way a new UK dance act could reach millions of people was to get a song on Masterchef . But in less than a year, Disclosure have turned all that on its head. The most successful British dance act in a generation, they’ve not only soared to the top of the charts and sold out venues across the world – they’ve also changed the nature of British

JAMIE CULLUM announces new studio album ‘Momentum’ available on iTunes this weekend

Image
Since the fantastic response to his special release last month (Love for $ale Feat Roots Manuva), Jamie Cullum is pleased to announce the full details of his sixth studio album, ‘Momentum’, released on 20th May 2013 via his new record label Island Records . Having sold over ten million records worldwide, performing to sold out tours across the globe, working on a variety of unique projects that have seen him collaborate with a range of artists from Stevie Wonder, Pharrell, Sander Kleinenberg, Rizzle Kicks to The Roots, Jamie continues to enjoy an incredible creative roll. The album, titled ‘Momentum’ for good reason, is bursting with ideas and inspirations which almost have a life of their own. Indeed, Jamie approached this record in a completely different way to his previous LPs, for the first time using DIY home demos as a blueprint for the majority of its tracks… and for a while, using everything from iPhone apps, charity shop keyboards and cassette recorders as his ‘go-to’ instr

Disclosure new single ‘You & Me’/debut album "Settle"/Live Dates

Off the back of storming the UK charts once again with latest single ‘White Noise feat AlunaGeorge’, Disclosure are extremely excited to announce their debut album, ‘Settle’, out June 3rd on PMR Records. It will be preceded by new single ‘You & Me’, which is available to buy from iTunes and physically from June 3rd.

'Love Cards' is the brand new single by Devlin, featuring rising newcomer Etta Bond. It is released on the 20th May through Island Records. This single is taken from Devlin's acclaimed second album ‘ A Moving Picture ’. Produced by Raf Riley, it follows Devlin's previous two top 10 hits off the album - (All Along The) Watchtower feat Ed Sheeran and ‘Rewind’.
