November 11, 2024 Listen to ‘Six Figures Check’, a trippy new track from Mangabey featuring Tora Meishi

Listen to ‘Six Figures Check’, a trippy new track from Mangabey featuring Tora Meishi

Mangabey, the French DJ and producer whose name has become synonymous with some of house music’s most influential labels — Toy Tonics, Nervous, Pont Neuf, and Novaj — is preparing to release his highly anticipated debut album via Cracki Records in 2025. Fresh off the success of his smash hit ‘Time For You & Me’ which has garnered over two million streams, Mangabey is about to take a bold leap into new sonic territory with the debut single from the album, ‘Six Figures Check’.

A striking departure from his usual sound, ‘Six Figures Check’ blends sultry, old-school rap verses from rising French vocalist Tora Meishi with a sleek, alternative R&B style that pulls heavily from the vibrant UK scene (think RUBII, Jorja Smith, Lava La Rue, and DRIIA).

With its hypnotic percussion, smoky atmospherics, reverb-drenched vocals, jazzy instrumental flourishes, and infectious bassline, the track transports the listener into a lush sonic dreamscape. It’s a refreshing reinvention that showcases Mangabey’s boundless production talent and sets the stage for an exciting new chapter in his evolving musical narrative.

Soulful singer-songwriter Dave Curl shares fun-filled video for single ‘Riders’

Dave Curl has unveiled a magnificent video for his surf-rock inspired single ‘Riders’. The video premiered on renowned tastemaker EARMILK and features Dave, among his surfing community getting ready to take on the waves at one of his favourite surfing spots in the world. 

The single, which was released on October 10th, sees Dave take a new direction with his folk-pop-rock sound to something a bit more lighthearted with a touch of whimsy. ‘Riders’ is all about Dave’s passion for surfing and the impact it’s had on his life. 

The music video is a visual feast, impeccably showcasing the shoreline and landscape of the Fuerteventura island, the second largest Canary Island. The video opens with a shot of Dave walking along the shore with his guitar strung around him, while the rest of the “riders” crew arrive in eager anticipation smiling from ear to ear. The crew are then seen donning their wetsuits, waxing their boards and gearing up to hit the waves. Interspersed with shots of the crew and Dave on the water having the time of their lives, are shots of Dave walking along the shoreline singing his heart out while playing guitar. 

Watch the video below:

Dave Curl told us: “Inspired by 20 years of surfing in Fuerteventura, I set out to create a music video capturing the island’s desertlike beauty and the powerful connection with the ocean. Filming alongside the incredible Riders surf crew and lady surfers at the iconic lighthouse, I aimed to show the magic, struggle, and serenity that surfing here brings. With perfect waves and weather on our side, I hope this video captures the spirit of Fuerteventura and the joy of surfing.”

The inspiration behind the track came from a poem they dedicated to a dear loved one. ‘A Love Song’ outlines the grief of losing someone, and the remorse of things that were left unsaid. It’s tinged with classic 80s style instrumentation and influences, with dramatic guitar progressions, a swift drum pattern and Sandra’s majestic vocals at the forefront. 

The band share; A Love Song’ was written during a trip to Palma, shortly after the loss of a dear friend. The best ones are taken early. And so were you, Peder. Your wings touched everyone. Your laughter will live within us”.

The band currently has 15 million streams across platforms, and their first three albums earned them global acclaim. The trio’s lyricist and vocalist Sandra Bjurman channels her inner universe as well as her perspectives on societal and global issues through her emotive performances and profound lyricism. Stefan Örn and Johan Glössner are the producers who lay the groundwork for each track, along with Sandra’s poignant storytelling and vocal ability.
