Showtek ready the launch of Skint Records

artist showtekShowtek have had an amazing 2013. Their latest single “Booyah” with We Are Loud and Sonny Wilson, has been a worldwide success climbing up the charts in the UK and South Africa; and the boys followed up with an Essential Mix back in November. But the Dutch duo are not the ones to rest on their laurels.

Closing out the year with a bang, the brothers have announced the launch of their next project Skink Records. Drawing its name from a species of lizard, the imprint will be just like its reptilian inspiration. With its elusive and hard-to-pin-down nature, the skink is a survivor, making it the perfect mascot for Showtek’s continuing musical evolution. The Dutch producers will officially launch the label to the world with their forthcoming single “We Like To Party” out on December 30th.

You can expect plenty more music from Showtek and a selection of other artists in the new year.

Nom De Strip releases ‘I Can’t Believe’

artist nom de stripWith the dust not even settled from his latest collaboration with Congorock in “Minerals,” the ever eclectic Nom De Strip returns to Chris Lake’s Rising Music for the first time since summer anthem “Devil’s BBQ” alongside Nezza.

First premiered back in September when Chris Lake and TJR took over Diplo and Friends on BBC 1Xtra, “I Can’t Believe” is another stellar track to add to Nom’s discography. Packing in the energy, “I Can’t Believe” is a dance floor ready electro house tune. Equipped with intense high pitched synths, the gritty, ominous vocals guide you throughout track. With a bass line that just won’t quit, “I Cant Believe” just solidifies Nom’s reputation as a genre-blending artist and will fit into any high-energy set.

Grab the release today – we’re sure you’ll hear this track when Nom De Strip heads to Hidalgo for Winter Fantasy.
