It was their EP "Dances" that I heard initially, and I was completely mesmerized by the twirling synth sounds, only to be distracted from these by quilted vocals in [...]

This sounds pretty good, a lil snippet from the latest release by Queen Size Records, a small Polish label but I quite like them.

The JA RULE is trying another another another comeback, this time sampling the QUEEN and roping in the HYPE WILLIAMS to help with the video for REAL LIFE FANTASY .

A solid mix to give tribute to The Queen of Pop, Freddie Mercury, whose been gone for just over 20 years now.
