MUM Music - BBC Asian Network Live Set and Interview with Yasser Ranjha

‘Answer Me’ blends D'Stil's original song-writing style with a contemporary feel that is influenced by artists from UK Garage’s golden age, such as Mark Hill (Artful Dodger), Craig David and MJ Cole. With smooth R&B vocals and co-production by multi-instrumentalist Little King, ‘Answer Me’ is a 21st century re-telling of the pursuit of love, over a playful UKG sound from yesteryear. 

“The single is a taste of what’s to come from my debut EP,” comments D’Stil. “I’ve been living the UK Urban scene of my childhood and I’m proud to be releasing a single that is inspired by my idols.”  

Birmingham born D’Stil is part of a growing collective of urban artists such as Jorja Smith, Jaykae and Mist, all hailing from the West Midlands. D’Stil envisions a resurgent scene for British Urban music which celebrates culture and the love for pure music, with the aim to bring back the infamous noughties Garage raves.

The release of ‘Answer Me’ is D’Stil’s highly anticipated first single which follows the release of cover ballad ‘Thinking Bout The Time’. Set to release his first EP in Summer 2018, D’Stil aims to showcase his passion for emotive music on the live music scene, adding to his performing accolades of world famous venues which include Maida Vale Studios and the BBC Live Lounge.

’Cosmic Lion EP’ is a brand new four tracker from Eastern Pressure that showcases the talents of the Midlands based duo Move Until Motionless aka M.U.M. Music

Fusing experimental forward thinking sounds with a dancefloor vibration is something that M.U.M do so well, and this debut EP is something to get really excited about. From the EP’s first cut ‘St. Mandolinas’ you know this is special. Entering with a reggae styled piano riff it’s not long before the bass drops and the drums kick in to maximum effect. This is the perfect soundscape to begin proceedings on the EP. ‘Revelations’ drops next and is a percussive rolling groove that fuses a superb synth line with swirling pads to create a monster of a track. The third track on the EP is ‘Darbouka Bass’ which is as a deeper more mystical track that is already getting the thumbs up from DJ’s worldwide. This sets us up perfectly for the EP’s last track and the title track from the EP ‘Cosmic Lion’ which wraps up this release perfectly. From the intro you just know it’s an anthem as it mixes up mystical atmospherics with a subtle piano line while executing some excellent percussive drum patterns and a deep modulating bass.
