It’s impossible not to become infatuated with Gavin Turek. A disco queen for the modern era, Gavin Turek makes dance music that trades escapism for alchemy, transforming heartbreak and hurt into moments of absolute glory. Since first breaking through with her 2017 EP Good Look For You (hailed by Stereogum as “Studio 54-core for the 21st century”), the L.A.-born artist has matched her magnetic presence and mesmerizing vocals with songwriting that speaks an unguarded truth about her inner life—all while dazzling audiences across the globe with her deeply communal and party-like live show. For the latest chapter in a vibrant career that’s included collaborating with such eclectic artists as TOKiMONSTA and Mayer Hawthorne, touring with the likes of Hayley Kiyoko, and earning lavish acclaim from leading outlets like Rolling Stone, Vogue, NPR, and Spin, Gavin is now gearing up for the release of Diva of the People, her highly anticipated sophomore album and most visionary work to date. 
Raised on a melting pot of genres that still informs her sound today (classic soul and R&B, disco, ’70s funk, ’80s pop), Gavin grew up in a musical household and first started creating her own songs at age six. An accomplished dancer who incorporates plenty of free-flowing choreography into her live show (and who also DJs disco and house), Gavin lived abroad in India and Africa as part of her extensive dance training, but eventually returned to her lifelong passion for music. As she immersed herself in refining her vision, she put out Good Look For You via her own label Madame Gold Records, shared a series of one-off singles (including 2019’s “2AM” and its Lena Waithe-produced video), then made her full-length debut with the high-concept and boldly experimental Madame Gold (a critically lauded album produced by Childish Gambino collaborator Chris Hartz). With its title taken from a nickname bestowed on Gavin by a friend, Diva of the People wholly reflects the force-of-nature personality and intense sensitivity of an artist who identifies as “sonically nostalgic but emotionally available.” All throughout the album, Gavin brings the pure simplicity of timeless pop and groove-driven sound of disco to songs examining everything from the madness of technology addiction to the frustrations of dating in a culture bent on perfectibility. The result: an emotionally raw but wildly radiant body of work that leans into disco’s legacy as a conduit for empowerment, ultimately delivering all the joyful catharsis we need right now.

Embedded within LaCore’s alt-rock output are influences that traverse the last three decades. It’s difficult to pinpoint specific sources, although most prominent are the sounds that emerged from New York in the early aughts, an imprint that Jeff Thompson, producer, songwriter and vocalist for LaCore, wears on his sleeve in bold colors.

Touring the world as a front of house engineer before the pandemic, Thompson is now submitting his years of collaborative efforts that trail the American West Coast, transitioning to front man and garnering his friends along the way.

In return, we get one sonic bust after another, deconstructed, reconfigured and dressed up for the occasion on a hard-hitting debut EP. "I'm confined from 9 to 5, I think of fireflies." Thompson ponders across a guitar heavy soundscape in a declaration against the responsibilities of adultness. “In your superstition, you drown inside the well that granted you your only wish. Come on get out of my head!” repeated over clangs and shreds, unveiling the egotistical battles that can drive two people apart.

Rounding out the lineup in this California based four-piece are Mihailo Lukic (guitar), Dan Kashuck (drums), and Michael Carlito (guitar). The bands debut EP, Popularity Wins, is available on the major streaming platforms May 13, 2021.

Music producer from Norway.

Let’s face it; there is no denying that two minds are better than one. 

Especially when those two minds individually hold an instinctive-artistic-force 

and natural musicality. Case in point: Yasumo. 

Yanni Nair and Simon Salerno – a Melbourne DJ/Production collision course 

with undeniable far-reaching appeal. 

Their secret? Integrating elements of their preferred music style and stamping 

it with the Yasumo signature flair. 

Self-proclaimed as falling under the disco/funk/French-house barrier, the lads 

are causing dance-floor antics by simply, “Putting our own spin on the music we 

love…”

With releases on Vicious, Onelove, Ministry of Sound and Sweat It Out!, remixes for 

Detroit-vinyl-extraordinaire Arthur Baker, and accolades via Nick Catchdubs & A-Trak 

(Fools Gold) – their stylistically diverse selection of sounds each bring a realm 

of sonic brilliance to the fore. 

In short, listen up!
