With 3 million monthly listeners, MKJ continues to prove himself at the highest of calibers. After successful singles like the cover of ‘Pumped Up Kicks’ that’s just broken 70 million streams, the Kurdish dreamer teams up with Joel Coopa and Jay Mason for a deep stunner. These two artists mustn’t be overshadowed, for Jay Mason sees his works attract over a million monthly listeners, while Joel Coopa has performed in clubs all over Europe. ‘Wait A Minute’ takes that nightclub feel and makes it accessible for the wide audience these artists garner. Be sure to check it out, as you’ll find yourself waiting to replay it!

MKJ is a dreamer. He had to be in order to survive.  At the tender age of six years old, he found himself living in a tent as a war refugee with his family. The young Kurdish boy dreamed that he would one day move far away, to the world he saw in Hollywood movies and TV shows. Surrounded by war and turmoil, the dream seemed impossible, but after years of practice and producing beats on his computer, he relocated to the United States at the age of 22 and began pursuing his music career in earnest. In 2017, an unofficially released track by the DJ/producer called Time made its way from MKJ’s SoundCloud page to the greater China region, where it became a meme and viral sensation.  With its signature saxophone dance break, the song has spawned around 4 million TikTok videos, over 500 million streams, 210,000 NetEase comments and held the #1 on Shazam China charts for three weeks. All this led to worldwide touring opportunities and an exclusive distribution agreement with the China music tech giant, NetEase Cloud. A new vocal version of the track from the eclectic artist’s follow up EP Time After Time topped at #2 on NetEase’s viral chart, while follow up singles brought him into the top 100 of most streamed western artists on NetEase Cloud. From 2020 on, MKJ is signed with Soave Records with ‘Pumped Up Kicks’ as his biggest hit so far.

German based DJ and Producer Joel Coopa started his musical career by using his real name Christian Prieß as a DJ and his interest in deejaying, clubs and festivals in Europe (Ibiza, Poland, Netherland, Italy and Belgium) grew steadily. Further on he was also touring as Chame and as a member of StereoVision. After eighteen years of Techno and Tech-House he has been looking for a new direction as a producer and as a DJ equally and since then he has been focused on Pop-Music and House. So he adopted a new name „Joel Coopa“ and teamed up with Yann Muller and Chacel who released their first single „The Girl From Ipanema in July 2021 on Soave Records. „Well, it’s the most beautiful thing just to speak in one tongue that everybody understands – and that’s music … only music …“ (Joel Coopa). The latest single „WHERE ARE YOU NOW“ was released in March 2022 on Soave Records produced by Joel Coopa and Navagio. Be sure that more music will follow in the nearer future.

Jay Mason is a singer and songwriter from The Netherlands. Infected by his father he started playing Nirvana songs at the age of 10. His passion for music really came into bloom when he began writing his first tunes at the age of 17, playing in his metal band with his younger brother and 2 cousins. After his graduation at the Academy of Popular Culture in Leeuwarden Jay wanted to dive even deeper into the world of songwriting. He started doing co-writing sessions all over the country which led to his introduction to writing vocals for dance music in 2019. Working his butt off every day in his studio has resulted in numerous releases gaining over 150 million streams on Spotify already, including songs with Dynoro, KSHMR, Fedde Le Grand, Tungevaag, Blasterjaxx and Ferry Corsten to name a few. Being the chameleon he is, Jay has been growing his audience through his diverse songwriting and is known for his incredible vocal range, his characteristic rasp and powerful head voice.

BETH Turns Up the Energy With New Single ‘Wait’

Scottish producer BETH returns on The Cross Records with new single Wait, following a breakout 2026 of festival slots, Ibiza dates and Radio 1 support.

In the space of a year, BETH has gone from respected up and comer to a genuine festival act. Her debut on The Cross Records, “Keep It Movin’,” is closing in on 1 million streams, and she’s kept up a steady run of releases on labels like TSHA’s Jackfruit, Eats Everything’s Edible, and Melon Bomb Records, along with a well received remix of Karen Harding’s “Island.” That output has earned her support on BBC Radio 1, with plays from Sarah Story and Arielle Free.

Her live schedule has kept pace too. This year she’s played TRNSMT Festival, Sub Club, Cabaret Voltaire, and SWG3 in Scotland, Mas Que Nada in London, and Lakota in Bristol, plus Ibiza dates at Hï, Cova Santa, and Pikes.

“Wait” marks a step forward in her production. Where “Keep It Movin'” leaned into sultry, harmonic melodies, “Wait” goes bigger and brighter, built around euphoric piano chords, a driving 90s inspired break, and deep reese bass. It’s a feel good summer record from an artist whose rise shows no signs of slowing down.

The ever-evolving Deadlynoiz is back with another new single ‘Rock The House’ adding to his stacked 2026 repertoire.

Stepping into the world of bass house for this track, Deadlynoiz has produced a hugely impactful hit brimmed with his hallmark strengths. ‘Rock The House’ is a fantastic showcase of his ability to design and blend together a myriad of creative synths to deliver powerful soundscapes. The track keeps pumping from start to finish but is dynamic in its energy shifting from the more melodic verses to the aggressive, bass face inducing choruses. Deadlynoiz is consistently looking to evolve his productions and has leaned into more experimental territories here with emphatic results.

His development as an artist is evident from both his productions and his accolades as he’s attracted the attention of LVLD Music. He’s dropped a slew of hits with them and is continuing to develop their relationship with the release of ‘Rock The House’ on their label. Since it’s release the track has already raked in thousands of streams and he’s pushed onto releasing even more music in ‘Magic’ and ‘Block.’ Now bringing in over 20,000 streams a month on Spotify it’s clear that Deadlynoiz’s hard work is paying off as his fanbase continues to grow.

‘Rock The House’ is another step forward in Deadlynoiz’s evolution in sound and development as an artist. With every release he’s proving his abilities in the studio and with the rate he’s working at, there’s plenty more to come.

Scarper Drops ‘Off-Cuts (2014-2021)’ Compilation

Scarper releases ‘Off-Cuts (2014-2021)’, a collection of eight unreleased tracks from the era behind his debut album ‘Warmer Squares’ and ‘E-Funk’.

UK artist Scarper has released ‘Off-Cuts (2014-2021)’, a hand-picked collection of eight previously unreleased tracks pulled from the same period that produced his critically acclaimed debut album ‘Warmer Squares’ and his 2020 dancefloor tune ‘E-Funk’, which has been experiencing a resurgence thanks to a recent physical release on a new imprint.

The project is exactly what it sounds like, Scarper going back through his studio archives and finding the demos, jams, and ideas from that era that were good enough to polish up and put out. “I realised I had quite a few demos, jams and ideas on my laptop from that period, some of which were decent enough to polish up and get out into the world,” he said. “It’s a snapshot of where I was musically at the time, so I thought I’d package them together as a retrospective rather than a proper release, giving people something to enjoy while I crack on with the next project.”

The eight tracks cover a lot of ground, from the epic opening chords of ‘Skynet’ to the acid squelches of ‘Steppe’ and the string arrangements of ‘Halocline’. It is the kind of release that rewards the people who have been paying attention, and sits comfortably alongside some of his best work.

Scarper has built his career almost entirely on his own terms, releasing through his own imprint Plexus Records and picking up support from Orbital, Laurent Garnier, Carl Craig, Rinse FM, BBC 6 Music, Mixmag, and DJ Mag along the way.

‘Off-Cuts (2014–2021)’ is out now on Plexus Records.
