LIIA and Changing Faces officially released their latest collaboration, ‘Naughty Girl’, a hard-hitting Drum and Bass track out now on the NUFORM label.

The latest release featuring the vocals of Slovakian talent LIIA, ‘Naughty Girl’ by Changing Faces, is out now on NUFORM.  A hard-hitting Drum and Bass track, the production blends a high-impact instrumental arrangement with layers of LIIA’s expressive vocals, resulting in a track that feels dark and driving yet soft and fluid.

For LIIA, this latest release has come as an opportunity for her to refocus; returning to her roots in Drum and Bass, she realigns herself with the style that feels most authentic to her vision. Despite lending her creativity to work across multiple genres, Drum and Bass remains her primary focus. Having debuted with ‘Airplane Mode,’ which reached the top position on the Hypeddit Charts, she continues to hone her approach, remaining committed to crafting music that goes beyond the beats and above the sound. For LIIA, music is a tool for personal expression: a way to communicate without hindrance – offering listeners a space for compassion, empathy, and unity.

In ‘Naughty Girl,’ propulsive beats, intense leads, and a powerful low-end construct the framework, striking a balance between precise sound design and pumping energy. Woven throughout the sonic fabric, LIIA adds her signature vocal lines, elevating the track into fresh heights where bright, crisp motifs blend with gritty synths and high-voltage dynamics. From the track’s sharp, snappy rhythms to the atmospheric breakdown that feels laced with cross-cultural nuance and eastern-inflected melodies, ‘Naughty Girl’ constructs an immersive sound world for listeners to discover.

In mirroring the high-energy sound that has come to define Changing Faces – both through his studio output and dynamic DJ sets, which have seen him perform on iconic stages such as Tomorrowland and Rampage – and in preserving LIIA’s lyrical storytelling, ‘Naughty Girl’ arrives as a bold statement of creative alignment. Where impactful, high-octane production meets expressive vocal nuance, the track underscores how this duality can coexist within Electronic Music, delivering a powerful and emotionally charged experience for genre enthusiasts to connect with.

‘Naughty Girl’ is out now via NUFORM – available to stream and download across platforms. So, tune in now and stay connected with where LIIA heads next by following her journey across social media.

After previously collaborating on the smash hit ‘Collateral Damage’, Reigns and Waives are back with another treat for the ears, ‘Closer Than Your Shadow.’

Many artists will have countless songs that never leave the cutting room floor and ‘Closer Than Your Shadow’ was a track that fell into that space for years. However, when Waives asked if Reigns would like to collaborate again suddenly this long-forgotten idea came back into the light. Originally written as a soul ballad, in the hands of Waives it has been transformed into an anthemic drum and bass track that still keeps the heart and soul of the original idea.

Releasing on She Wears The Crown Records, a label dedicated to developing, and elevating female artists, ‘Closer Than Your Shadow’ is an instant hit. The chemistry between the pair is undeniable with Reigns’ vocals blending beautifully with Waives’ production style. ‘Closer Than Your Shadow’ has an entrancing soundscape with the grandeur of a film score and the elegance of a ballad. The track has an uplifting energy that matches the message of the song. Told through the incredibly delivered vocals from Reigns, the message of the song is about being there for someone who’s lost their way. ‘Closer Than Your Shadow’ has a wonderfully balanced mix of energies with moments of calm that launch into sections that make you want to get jumping. These shifts in energy keep the track fresh and help deliver the emotions of the tracks story.

This perfect gelling of artists is no surprise after their last collaboration ‘Collateral Damage’ which has cracked the 500,000-stream marker on Spotify. It stands as one of Reigns’ many crown jewel achievements in her storied career. She’s coming off the back of a barnstormer of a year with huge festival performances at Pride, BBC Introducing, The Camden Weekender, and Pub in the Park. Her work has garnered considerable radio support from the likes of BBC Radio, Capital Dance, KISS FM and SiriusXM. With all this success and momentum, she’s looking to kick on this year with the huge step of dropping her debut album ‘Love Languages.’

‘Closer Than Your Shadow’ is another great display of Reigns’ diversity as an artist and a wonderful addition to her catalogue of amazing music. With plenty of skill and an album on the horizon it’s looking like it’ll be another big year for Reigns.

Following up on a strong run of singles, Softboy7 has stepped it up with the release of a deeply personal album ‘dreamData.’

From the first track, ‘my little angel’, the scene is set for the world of ‘dreamData’. Packed with layered synths and atmospheric textures, it gives the album an energetic opening that draws the listener in. ‘dreamData’ is easy to get lost in as every track flows smoothly into the next, allowing the listener to immerse themselves in Softboy7’s world.

There is a very clear vision throughout, as each track maintains the core elements that define ‘dreamData’. Atmospheric soundscapes, precise beats, and dreamy synths. While every track is built around these elements, each one feels like a refreshing take on the scene. On ‘above the layers’ and the title track ‘dreamData’, there are beats influenced by digicore and trap with a more laid-back feel, while ‘ethereal’ pairs dreamy atmospheres with fast breakcore-style drums. The whole album production features balanced mixing and careful use of dynamics. It varies between intense and gentle passages, switching between high energy and softer sections.

Softboy7 developed the story and emotive background of ‘dreamData’ through his struggle with mental health and the journey of finding his way back to enjoying and loving life. Much of that recovery came from online connections, such as gaming sessions and calls, which fostered genuine positive emotions. One particularly defining moment for the album, he told us, was trusting a stranger enough to take a flight to Brazil, which ended up as a formative and unexpectedly wholesome experience. That sense of vulnerability and safety is reflected in ‘take my hand’, a track built around trust and emotional openness. This theme of connection extends throughout the album, with each song telling its own story, from ‘last promise’, about embracing your uniqueness, to ‘dead pc’, which reflects the sadness of losing personal data.

Inspired visually and emotionally by Y2K design, Frutiger Aero, Solarpunk, Kawaii, and Hopecore, ‘dreamData’ exists as both a collection of songs and a carefully imagined world built from real life experiences, digital intimacy outlining the reasons Softboy7 fell in love with being alive again.
