MOTSA releases ‘Rolling Back’ featuring Madeline Kenney

The Iconic Duo Reunite For Their Reimagined Version Of Classic Party Anthem “Get Low.” 2x-GRAMMY-nominated artist and producer Steve Aoki joins forces with GRAMMY-award-winning rapper and producer Lil Jon on their new collaboration “Get Lower.” The single pays homage to Lil Jon’s 2003 dominating chart-topping club record “Get Low,” which charted at #1 on Billboard Hot Rap Songs and #1 on Billboard Rap Airplay, featuring Aoki’s brand new electro-driven production and with new original recorded vocals by Lil Jon. “Get Lower” marks the fourth official collaboration between Steve Aoki and Lil Jon, dating back to their first record together “Turbulence,” which became a nightclub smash and a sports event staple. The two artists share a decades-long friendship and have performed all over the world together, including stages in Japan, at SXSW, Ultra Music Festival, and most recently, the mainstage at Tomorrowland 2023. Their adventures together in the studio and rocking global stages are captured in the brand new music video for “Get Lower,” out today. “Jon and I have been friends for years, and whenever we get together on a track, it’s a party. When we performed at Tomorrowland last year, the energy was off the charts, and we knew we had to create another festival anthem. ‘Get Low’ is one of the most hype tracks of all time, and it’s an honor to work with Jon to bring it back for the next generation.” – Steve Aoki “It’s crazy that Steve reached out to me about this song, especially considering it’s the 20th anniversary of the track this year! I’m grateful for our friendship over the years, and there’s no better way to honor this milestone for ‘Get Low.’” – Lil Jon “Get Lower” is Steve Aoki’s first single of 2024. The new release follows Aoki’s 8th studio LP HiROQUEST 2: Double Helix, which includes collaborations “Locked Up” with Akon, “Invitame A Un Cafe” with Ángela Aguilar, and “Us” featuring ERNEST. Steve Aoki has also remixed the NFL on CBS Theme song, which fans can hear throughout the Super Bowl this weekend. “Get Lower” follows Lil Jon’s recent singles “Bombón” with Daddy Yankee and El Alfa, “Let’s Get Crazy” with Don Omar “JUMPIN” with Pitbull, and “Till The Club Close” with Tiffany Haddish, and Fivio Foreign. The new track arrives nearly twenty years after Lil Jon changed the face of hip-hop and global music culture by releasing “Get Low.” “Get Low” peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and is recognized as a pivotal track for propelling crunk music into the mainstream. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwfU8p6NFfE

In Hardwell’s own words, “Although my new sound is much harder-edged and techier, I still love the beauty of vocal-based electronic music. Every genre, from house music and trance to electro and techno, has given the dancefloor magical moments through big vocal tracks. That feeling a big vocal song has on a festival crowd is hard to describe, but when that moment comes, it’s intoxicating.” The collaboration with AZTECK was a natural choice for Hardwell, given their previous work together. Recognized for his exceptional production skills and keen ear for captivating toplines, AZTECK’s recent successful releases attest to his talent. Hardwell shares his excitement about the collaboration, stating, “Azteck and I have known each other for a while, having previously worked together on music. As his recent run of form proves, he’s a great producer with a fantastic ear for a topline. So, I knew a big vocal collab with Azteck would be a fire release for the summer. But the track needed a specific type of voice to make it work, and the unique raspy quality of Alex’s voice made her the perfect fit for the distorted topline on ‘Anybody Out There’.” ‘Anybody Out There’ holds a special significance for Hardwell as it represents his desire to infuse his new style into a vocal-driven anthem that combines various elements of his sound to create a captivating hybrid track. Reflecting on the process, he explains, “This track is special to me because I’d been longing to repurpose my new style into a vocal-driven anthem that blended other elements of my sound to create a sort of hybrid track. It needed the right emotion in the track, the right chords, and perfect balance in arrangement to fit the current sound.” With its fusion of cutting-edge electronic music and infectious vocals, ‘Anybody Out There’ promises an unparalleled audio experience that pushes the boundaries of live performance. Hardwell’s creative vision, combined with the talents of AZTECK and Alex Hepburn, guarantees an unforgettable musical journey for listeners. ‘Anybody Out There’ signifies Hardwell’s evolution as an artist, showcasing his willingness to experiment and explore new sonic territories while staying true to his core essence. Prepare to be captivated by this edgy vocal anthem that seamlessly blends hard-hitting production and melodic hooks.

Secret Sounds are delighted to announce that American synthwave band The Midnight will make their return to Australia in February/March 2024, setting stages on fire with headline performances in Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne. From their synth-heavy beginnings to arena rock chords and infectious pop hooks, The Midnight’s musical journey is one fuelled by insatiable curiosity. The duo lives at the intersection of varying paths, driven by the friction that fires when Southern-born singer-songwriter Tyler Lyle’s all-American dreamer tales meld with Danish-bred drummer and producer Tim McEwan’s cinematic soundscapes. Together, they form something deeper than house, vibier than pop, and altogether more exciting than the sum of its parts. The fan favourite track “WeMoveForward” from their 2014 debut EP Days of Thunder, was created during their very first encounter. The single’s euphoric rhythms, bittersweet synths and Lyle’s romantic lyricism lay the foundation for The Midnight’s signature style, a theme that continued all the way into their latest album Heroes. Infused with dramatic nostalgic streaks, The Midnight’s catalogue weaves its way from their debut LP Endless Summer, with its retro-futuristic feel, to the introspective reflections found in their follow-up record Kids. As they delved deeper into their emotions with the release of their fourth album, Monsters in 2020, their sound expanded and became more vibrant, reaching the Top 30 on the Australian pop charts and No. 3 on Billboard’s Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart. Created during the isolation of the COVID quarantine, their most recent release Heroes tackled the issue of loneliness by inviting the whole world to dance under one roof, celebrating shared human connection. Infused with slivers of Springsteen, The Police, AC/DC and an electrifying arena rock spirit, Heroes weaves together a fusion of sexy-but-sensitive sing-alongs made to be belted by a room full of music lovers. With the new album, the duo has hit new heights on stage, moving on from club rooms to selling out iconic venues such as London’s Brixton Academy. They have also expanded their live performance by welcoming Lelia Broussard on bass, Royce Whittaker on guitar, and Justin Klunk on saxophone and synth. The Midnight are ready to unleash their live set for fans around Australia next February/March! Presale is available from 9am local time Thursday 21 September. Tickets go on sale to the general public from 9am local time Friday 22 September.
