Mikky Ekko is best known for writing and appearing on Rihanna's hit single, " Stay ," but out of view from watchful eyes Mikky is strategically plotting his full-fledged debut on the scene.

A blossoming layer of ambient sounds flourish underneath Mikky's undeniably luscious voice. It all makes for a track worthy of everyone’s ears. Stream it below. [...]

You always take a bands list of influences with a pinch of salt, but when one reads as ' Fleetwood Mac, George Michael, Bruce Hornsby and Spiritualized ' it certainly does a good job of creating intrigue. Said list comes courtesy of Stay Bless, freshly signed to London's 37 Adventures label, who have just released the first track from forthcoming debut EP, Faded . The list of influences makes sense too. Always has lush and vibrant production, very much in-the-now, but at its heart lies a swagger firmly [...]

While he originally gained notoriety for his "downtempo dubstep" remixes to beautiful tracks like "The Funeral" and Sia's "Breathe Me," Clancy went on to release the full-length trap album A Beautiful Mind . Now he's returned to his roots, providing a sentimental dubstep take on Rihanna's "Stay." Abounding with warm piano progression, soft kicks, and slow-rolling bass, Butch [...]

Words by Neil Wood Young Rival are a trio from Canada that create surf-ready songs punctuated with hooks, harmonies and sing-along choruses.

Oxford newbies MMX are blowing us away with their recent single “Stay”. A large soundscape becomes immediately present, and once the delectable harmony-filled chorus hits, you’ll know you have landed on something special. It’s a mountainous achievement in coming up with extremely accessible indie rock. This is taken from their debut EP Child , available now .
It boggles our mind how a band as good as MMX has yet to receive any mention on Hype Machine. The Oxford four-piece's debut Child EP is the kind of music that sends chills through your body upon first listen. Imagine hitting play on Coldplay or Snow Patrol for the first time and you'll begin to get an idea of what MMX is all about. We're particularly infatuated with "Stay," Child 's lead single that honestly gives Chris Martin and co. a run for their money. Stream [...]
