Tradge records his shadow bars with 'Respect The Studio' over an iconic throwback grime instrumental. Tradge states "many of you know on my singles I tend not to swear, but the nostalgia I got from the beat on this one. I naturally stand at the microphone and old school 'Tradge' bars just fall out of me". 

Growing up on UK garage then writing as the scene transitioned to grime Tradge feels this way the perfect beat to vocal his shadow bars over. Due to the catchy sample, the BPM and drop, the instrumental still gets played on many DJ sets today. It also has many remixes including dubstep causing excitement over various different audiences. 

He also states "for me and the type of music I've been releasing this year it only made sense for me to do a shadow bars on something from my era, that still bangs today"

If I wait for you 
Watch the horizon blue 
Let the rays turn icy 
All the colours I’ll see

You’re on my mind like Sunday scaries 
Rolling through my brain like thunder 
You know I’m still holding 

Fell through clouds just to 
See you now 
I know 
Water flows back to you 

Flashbacks crystal clear 
Can’t find that atmosphere 
Watch the tape back rewind 
Let the glitches unfold

You’re on my mind like Sunday scaries 
Rolling through my brain like thunder 
You know I’m still holding 

Fell through clouds just to 
See you now 
I know 
Water flows back to you 

I fell through clouds to see you now 

Fell through clouds just to 
See you now 
I know 
Water flows back to you

He Said/She Said (Lack of Afro Remix)

"Who doesn't love a haunting vocal on a deep house beat" - JSKY - BBC Introducing Manchester

Stray Twin's new track 'Divine Energy’ is released on 29th March and showcases driving basslines with bright analog plucks, all combined with the ethereal vocals of Ambiere. Formed in October 2022, Stray Twin are childhood friends with a passion for producing and performing. 

Taking influence from artists like Bicep, Tibasko and Jacana People, recent releases have seen the duo reach 100,000 streams on Spotify, receive 10 plays on BBC Introducing Lancashire and over 50 plays on Amazing Radio. Off the back of this early success, a placement on a Cupra advert reached 3.5 million people on social media. 

Stray Twin perform live, using drum machines, synths, bass and guitar to bring their tracks to life. Selling out their headline show at Salford’s Eagle Inn in February 2024, the duo translated nights spent watching artists like Bicep, Mall Grab and Fred Again into a live set to remember.

Divine Energy

Sssp pathet

Written whilst impatiently awaiting the arrival of our first child, Rosalie, this song is a reflection on the mystical and mind-boggling growth of an infant in the womb. The belief that we are all intentionally created, and our lives known and held by something / someone greater than us

So What

back to the roots
back to original Kinshasa

Mapeka - is about Politique ya mabe - Bad politics
The word mapeka can be interpreted all kinds of ways
Like all Kinshasa slang
It’s the stance of someone showing off
The strut of a big ego

In this song it’s the arrogance of evil politicians
Mocking their audacity
With a raucous kind of chorus calling out ‘mapeka ya politicians’

And in typical Kinshasa style, band leader Matondo shouts out the instrumentalists as they begin playing pure fire start to finish.

Mulele Matondo - band leader, bass guitar, vocals
Jethro Massamba - guitar

Yves Bampelenga - drums
Serge Kadima - congas, percussion
