NYK feat. brb.“OOP! (Dipha Barus Remix)” Out March 11th, 2022 Via Ultra Records

Indonesian phenomenon Dipha Barus brings a special remix of NYK’s track “OOP!” feat brb. to Ultra Records with his unmistakable flair. The originally confident and relaxed track gets a double time kick from this powerhouse right from the start. Tropically zesty and overflowing with classic house style, this track deepens the beat while adding in perfectly layered synths and vocals for a cross genre breakdown. An unforgettable collaboration marked by its hybrid flair that we hope to see more of soon.

With a captive fanbase in the palm of his hand, NYK has set out to do something different with his music moving forward, juxtaposing the hooks that he’d become well-known for with a more mature, experimental approach to production, and pairing the new sounds with inspired, forward-thinking visuals.

“Another Man’s Jeans” cuts right to the chase in conversation with an ex. Wild guitar licks wrap around handclaps as horns pipe up in the background before Ashe declares, “I don’t want to talk about the fights in your mustang, let’s just think about the nights drinking rosé-colored champagne.”

On the inspiration for the track, Ashe proclaimed:

“‘Another Man’s Jeans’ is about unashamed and uninhibited confidence, loosening up and having a good time. It sounds like what carefree feels like. It’s sexy! And loud! And fun! It’s a reminder to not take life too seriously.” 

Benjamin Kheng Savours A Parting Of The Ways In New Track With Singer-Songwriter Bea Lorenzo

Homegrown artist Benjamin Kheng returns on the scene with a brand-new song, Good For A Time — an acoustic pop-R&B number that features Filipino artist Bea Lorenzo on vocals.

The radio-friendly pop ballad is a culmination of collaborations on multiple fronts. For the writing, Kheng teamed up with fellow Singaporean singer-songwriter, Linying, best known for penning and performing the theme song for 2021’s National Day Parade, ‘The Road Ahead’.

"Writing Good For A Time was as much fun as it was bittersweet. Linying was the perfect co-writer for this — breaking down heartbreak and joy is what she does best and it felt like we left little pieces of ourselves in this tune."

Together, they penned lyrics that captured the desire to stretch time for as long as possible to savour the last moments before the unavoidable end of a meaningful relationship.

Good For A Time is more than just a breakup song, it's about a couple presently breaking up and going through the painful process of untethering while looking back fondly and appreciating the love that was."

Kheng leaned on the expertise of Snakeweed Studios' Josh Wei (CL, Gentlebones) to oversee production on the track. 

"Josh was a godsend. Not one stone was left unturned. We experimented with many arrangements on different instruments, and I'm glad we landed on this one."

Unveil new single “Angelica” Announce “Chaise Longue” 7” repress Debut album Wet Leg out April 8th

“They’re one of those new bands whose sound and aesthetic seem to have arrived fully formed, promising exciting if totally unpredictable things to come” The New York Times

“A breath of fresh air” The Independent

“2022 is going to be their year” Clash

“Immensely charming” Stereogum

“One of 2022’s most anticipated debuts” Metro

“Stupidly fun and outrageously addictive” NME

With the release of Wet Leg’s self-titled debut album just over a month away (due April 8th), the Isle of Wight duo (Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers) are pleased to unveil their new single “Angelica”.

Named after Rhian's oldest friend, “Angelica” was recorded in Hester's living room, by bandmate Joshua Mobaraki. A mixture of the absurd (“She brought lasagne to the party”), the sardonic (“I don’t wanna listen to your band”) and social angst (“I look at my feet then I look for the door”), it's a trippy, synth-kissed journey through parties and regrets. "It's laced with disenchantment," Rhian says. "Even though the chorus is 'good times, all the time'. That's just impossible, isn't it?”
