Lexy Panterra is back once again, following her recent singles “Simple Life” and “Bad Bitch,” with a catchy, feel good track titled “UNDER ME;” now available on all digital streaming platforms. This track takes a smooth pop approach as Panterra showcases her versatility in full, with an EDM and pop influenced beat and a hyper pop hook. This latest single is guaranteed to be in everyone’s “hot girl getting ready” playlist for 2023.

Her recent releases “Simple Life” and “Bad Bitch” both received high praise and garnered over 700,000 streams since their release. Showcasing her diverse sound, Lexy dips her feet into the multi-genre artist conversation by highlighting pop, hip-hop and EDM throughout all her singles. With lyrics like “I can do what I want, Bitch I’ll get it” in “Bad Bitch,” and “Cause I don’t want that simple life, It’s the fine things I like” from “Simple Life,” Lexy proves that she makes music for self-proclaimed “Hot Girls”/”Baddies” and “Under Me” continues to build that message. 

Lexy is no stranger to being bold and unapologetically herself through her music and social media presence. This track carries that same carefree vibe fans have come to expect from her and have listeners ready to flex on their ex. Explaining how she wanted to experiment more with her sound after the release of “Simple life,” “UNDER ME” is the most experimental song from the singer at the moment. The track features Lexy’s sultry vocals paired with a deep bass that pivots into R&B and pop intermittently to deliver a unique listening experience. Opening the track with Lexy’s vocals on top of a low keyboard, the song quickly transitions into a vocaloid-esque pre chorus. The beat then switches for the main chorus where the EDM influences in the track really shine through. Revealing a catchy hook, repeating “Why you under me? If you over me?” the track ends out with an epic bass drop that features drop ins of the hook and seamless vocals before closing out with the echo of the track.

With lyrics assured to make any listener feel like a boss, Lexy once again delivers a new anthem perfect for the gyms, clubs and everywhere else.

GRAMMY-nominated dance music icon Audien, popularly known for songs like the Billboard Top 40 hit “Something Better” with Lady Antebellum and his GRAMMY-nominated remix of Bastille’s “Pompeii,” has teamed up with London-based classically trained musician turned electronic producerCodeko  to release his first song of 2023, “Antidote.” The uplifting progressive house anthem features Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter-producer JT Roach and is available now on all DSPs and streaming services.

The positive tone of this progressive house record “speaks of being a source of peace in a world of chaos and toxicity” according to JT Roach. The collaboration between Audien, Codeko and JT Roach brings encouraging lyrics and an uplifting beat that is sure to lift listeners spirits and deter any negative energy. JT Roach’s unique voice fills the room with joy and thirst for life as he swings on the captivated melody.

“Antidote is my first record with Ed, [Codeko]. During the PHND tour, we played a lot of shows together and I truly realized how alike we were. We truly have the same ear for things and I think our heart is in the music similarly. JT was the absolute perfect singer for this as well. The song is about staying centered around commitment, being that person for someone you love. In many ways the music I’m making today is that commitment to myself. Staying true to what speaks to me.” – Audien

Known for his production prowess and uplifting melodies, Grammy-nominated producer and songwriter Audien has established himself as an icon in the dance community. A staple in the progressive house genre, he garnered the support of industry veterans such as Tiësto, Above & Beyond and Armin van Buuren through an extensive discography that includes collaborations with the likes of ARTY, MAX and Echosmith, and official remixes of songs by Coldplay, Halsey, Nile Rodgers, Jess Glynne and Calvin Harris. Following three releases in 2022 as part of his Progressive House Never Died movement, concertgoers can look forward to seeing him perform this year at EDC Mexico, Beyond Wonderland, Miami Music Week, Sunset Music Festival, and more.

“Antidote was written when Audien and I were on his tour together towards the end of last year. Our music taste has always been pretty similar and so when he suggested we write something together, it couldn’t have gone much more smoothly. We worked on it traveling between shows in hotels & airports, and within a few days we were already playing it out live. A few weeks later JT tracked the vocals and it was finished!” – Codeko

UK Native Codeko is a classically trained musician turned electronic producer from London. With over 100 million streams to date, Codeko has delivered timeless music through releases on some of the biggest record labels in dance music and has achieved unique accolades such as SiriusXM’s BPM Breaker of The Year and has even delivered an official Electric Zoo Anthem. Codeko has toured with Gryffin, Audien, Matoma, Two Friends and performed on the stages of Tomorrowland, Electric Zoo, Lost In Dreams, Beyond Wonderland, EDC Orlando, and more.

“The theme of “Antidote” resonates with me as it speaks of being a source of peace in a world of chaos and toxicity, which many of us definitely can relate to. As many people find their peace alongside sports or hobbies, I found mine across my friends & colleagues who always were there when I needed them the most. Having a strong & supportive community in Los Angeles has helped me make it through the hard times and has become my “Antidote” in my life.” –JT Roach

With a Tarantino-esque flair, HADEE. portrays the desire to risk everything going up in flames for what he wants, and he does so with a signature cool in his new single “KEROSENE.” The 80s synthpop-inspired track explores the reckless themes of romance and its evanescent nature. It expands on this theme through its chosen soundscape, each detail adding to the overall cinematic atmosphere. 

Straight from the start, we’re met with an almost haunting instrumentation that paints the visual of desert-glaring heat raining down. “KEROSENE” cements HADEE. as an upcoming artist with a versatility that leaves his listeners longing to explore.

It started out as an instrumental idea I had made a couple years back. It was a bassline that I had then developed, but I couldn’t seem to think of the right words for this one idea. I had almost accepted that it would never become a full song. Fast-forward to this past summer, I had found the original recording of the instrumental, and that’s when the chorus melody we hear in the song came to mind. This allowed me to further get into the storyline and arrangement, so I could create a decent demo.

he loud, naive sound of 90’s garage rock, beneath earnest vocals from the days of third wave emo, tell the story of da nang. “To be born in paradise,” the band takes its name after Đà Nẵng, a picturesque coastal beach town in Vietnam. Fronted by queer Viet lead singer John Thai —a first-generation Canadian, born to refugees in small-town Ontario—da nang is an intentional revisit to 90’s adolescence; a time when queer voices were never heard, or at least never this loudly. 

Thai prefaces their new single, “don’t hate me,” explaining that “social anxieties and fear of being my authentic self made it near impossible for me to feel comfortable making music. There were no out and open musicians at the time who I could relate to, certainly not Asian ones. ‘don’t hate me’ is a retrospective anthem for that queer adolescent kid who so desperately wanted out.”

Distorted guitars, a driving bass and drum beat and aggressive vocals come together to create a feeling of anxiety and excitement, the kind that comes from getting bullied, or giving the bully the middle finger.
