Los Angeles

California

The mad thing is I wasn’t originally the biggest fan of LA but I’ve fallen in love with it more and more over the years. The restaurants are incredible and if you’re lucky & get an offer to party at someone’s house in the hills, then take it!! 

Ibiza

Spain

It’s always a No.1 go to place for me to party with my friends during the summer. Not only is the nightlife amazing but Old Town is a real mix of old & new with a chilled atmosphere and beautiful restaurants. 

Barbados

Carribbean

Barbados has a special place in my heart: I went there as a kid and love the beaches & crystal clear water. Waking up in the morning and finding yourself surrounded by red crabs and swiminning with the turtles is a memory I’ll never forget.

Ferry Corsten Releases The Latest UNITY Collaboration with BT on ‘1997’

Ferry Corsten is back with his latest ‘Unity’ collaboration, after releasing the last one with Ilan Bluestone back in December – Ferry has teamed up with BT for a special collaboration in ‘1997‘.

Ferry Corsten has been busy with solo music in the first half of 2019, releasing ‘Freefall‘ – which feels like a more commercially viable release. He also returned to his Gouryella alias with ‘Surga‘.

Ferry Corsten has brought in another big name into the Unity project, with the legend that is BT. After remixing BT’s track ‘Suddenly’ in 2010, the pair are familiar with each other’s prowess in the studio, and that united vision is showcased in abundance. The team-up sees both artists strengths utilised to their best potential to create a track that is greater than the sum of its parts. As it should, the production leans heavily on the killer uplifting melody – which is a prominent throughout the entire track. The mix of each artist’s styles is present and concludes in an epic collaboration.

Ferry launched the UNITY project in 2018 with his collaboration alongside Paul Oakenfold titled ‘A Slice Of Heaven’, and continued working with artists within the Trance community throughout the year, such as DIM3NSION, Jordan Suckley, Saad Ayub and Ilan Bluestone, and after the success of 2018 has more releases in store after making his first donation to project partner, VH1’s Save The Music Foundation, an organisation launched to reinstate music programs in public schools, which to date has raised over $53 million and helped over 2,100 public schools.

Kina Shatters Records: First Italian to Hit 1 Billion Spotify Streams with ‘Get You The Moon’

Kina, a trailblazer from Naples, Italy, has shattered streaming records by becoming the first Italian artist to garner over 1 billion streams on Spotify with an original song. His track “Get You The Moon” not only captivated listeners globally but also solidified his position in the music world.

This 24-year-old’s rise to fame began with the self-release of his song on platforms like SoundCloud, eventually catching fire on TikTok and resonating widely across social media. The lo-fi, mood-driven pop anthem features the lyrical talent of vocalist Snøw, contributing to its mass appeal and success. Kina’s distinct sound brought a fresh take on the lo-fi genre, previously uncharted to this scale, propelling him to international stardom. The track’s re-release through Columbia Records amplified its reach and further embedded it into the hearts of a global audience.

The single has enjoyed over 450 days on Spotify’s Global Daily Charts and boasts platinum certifications in seven countries, including the US, Australia, and France, with gold status in five others such as Germany and Spain.

Originating from the vibrant city of Naples, Kina attributes his creative inspiration to his early experiences in the province. His musical journey started at the age of eleven with experiments in progressive house and evolved over time to the defining lo-fi pop sound he’s known for today. His dedication to authentic self-expression was highlighted in his 2020 documentary series “Asleep In A Dream,” where he expressed a desire to create music that was true to himself, rather than seeking fame.

Now residing in Lisbon, Kina continues to innovate and inspire with his music, evidenced by his recent album “kinamood” and ongoing global influence. With a track record of 20+ platinum discs and billions of streams, many eagerly anticipated to release new works later this year.

Freekbass Shares an Exclusive Look Behind His Latest Track ‘Change My Mind’

Freekbass appears as a unique presence within Electronic Music, striking out with productions that take influence from genres across music to present a distinctly original signature style. Having just released his track, ‘Change My Mind’, a fusion of Funk and Disco, Freekbass joins us today for this exclusive interview, taking us behind the scenes of the production to allow us insight into his creative processes and production techniques. 

Hi, Freekbass! Congrats on your release of ‘Change My Mind’! How are you doing? 

Thank you! I’m doing great!  

What was the vision and story behind this groovy Funk track, ‘Change My Mind’?  

“Change My Mind” is a track that began on my TikTokLive. I livestream every night on TikTok (@freekbass). Each night is a unique show, with new beats & grooves. What begins as mostly improv, building layers with a loop station, begins to take shape into a song. My community there (The Freek Squad) participates in the creation of the new songs with their feedback. This song was actually named by one of our staple members of that community (Cindy). 

Could you share with us the musical influences that have shaped the vibe of this track?  

As with almost all of my tracks, it all starts with a beat and a bassline. Once I get that groove foundation, I start building off of it with harmony, including keys, vocals, and synths. I’m always deeply influenced by Funk, Disco, and Dance music from all eras. I like blending sounds from the 70s like a clavinet, with a synth and bass tones from 2024. 

What instruments, plugins, and VSTs were used in this eclectic piece?  

I played multiple bass guitar tracks with different tones from my pedal board (as I do on all my tracks), some live guitar and keys, and used some vocal samples that I altered and then thickened up a bit with additional vocals. The majority of the drums on this, and a lot of my productions, are created on my AKAI MPC One. I’ve been using an MPC for almost as long as I’ve been playing bass. Some of the synth and string sounds are from my Roland GAIA synth, and my Novation Bass Station 2. Some additional samples are sprinkled in from different sound libraries I’ve collected over the years. 

What is it about this track would you say highlights your signature sound?  

I think the sound of my bass and my bass playing style is what makes it unique to me. I’ve kind of developed this sound of being both a “foundational/groove” bassist, while also being a “lead/melodic” bassist. That’s one of the reasons I’ve always been drawn to Electronic Music since the sound of the bass is limitless. 

The track starts off with a groovy bass melody, followed by vocal hooks layered throughout the soundscape. What was your creative process in structuring this track to ensure that the vocals came out at the right moments?  

Great question. The song is always the most important thing, so as dominant as the groove or the bass is, it’s best when it is supporting a good hook and melody. In a lot of Dance music, the vocal hooks are what drive the song, so I try to record and mix in a way to elevate those vocal hooks, while still having them lay in the groove in a comfortable way. 

Is there a message you are trying to communicate to the audience, with the lyrics in this track? If so, what would that be?  

I think it speaks to a feeling almost all of us have felt, that time in a relationship where you’ve taken your stand and perhaps drawn a line. Yet in your heart, you secretly want that person to come back to you. So, there is the power and spirit of feeling great about staying true to yourself, while also hoping that person embraces that and comes back to you. This song is the anthem for that time in limbo. 

Were there obstacles you faced and lessons you learned from creating this release you’d like to share with us? 

Every new song and mix is a learning opportunity. On a purely technical point, it was a process of getting my dry bass sound and my “TalkBox” bass sound to lay in the mix together in a unifying way, with one tone not dominating the other. An amazing pedal company called Origin Effects sent me over an amp modelling pedal (Super Vintage BassRig) for my bass right before I started recording this one, which was huge in getting the bass sound I was going for. Also, with this and any mix, there is always a big decision on how layered you want it to be, so it enhances the track and doesn’t detract from the groove and sound. I hope I found a good balance on this one. 

Do you have plans to perform this track at a future show? 

For sure! I do always try to give the tracks a bit of a “remix” when performing live, but this will definitely be on the setlist! 

Anything exciting in the works for Freekbass?  

I’m releasing one song a month for the next year, while gearing up for more live dates. The bass company I work with, Ernie Ball, is making me a custom MusicMan StingRay bass, which I’m excited to show the world. TikTok recently hosted a music-creator contest called “StreamStar”, which I won. As a result, I got the opportunity to take over their official TikTokLive page, which just happened and was a such wild adrenaline ride! And TikTok is also creating a marketing package around me, so I’m looking forward to seeing how all of that unfolds this year. 

With an exciting journey still ahead of him, we’re looking forward to continuing following Freekbass along as he keeps adding to his release catalogue and bringing his magnetising energy to audiences around the globe. So, we close out this interview by thanking Freekbass for his time and encourage you to keep up-to-date with him by following him across social media.

Baden Bower Threads the Needle Between Fashion Brands and Global Headlines

Amid economic shifts and changing consumer demands, Baden Bower is a key connector of fashion brands to worldwide trends. The agency’s prowess in developing engaging stories has captured broad interest and positioned brands at the forefront of industry innovation.

Elevating Brand Visibility

“Through strategic storytelling and precise media placements, we raise brands to new heights of visibility and esteem,” declares CEO AJ Ignacio. In a context of resilience and prudence, the fashion industry’s global worth reached $718.6 billion in 2023, showing modest growth despite economic hurdles. Baden Bower thrives by steering through these complexities, guiding brands in a crowded market.

Ignacio’s approach extends past simple exposure, aiming for deep engagement and enduring brand development. This method is built on a detailed understanding of consumer habits and market trends, ensuring campaigns connect deeply with their target audiences.

Transforming Industry Standards

However, some critics remain skeptical. “Visibility does not guarantee market success,” argues an anonymous source, highlighting the need for an all-encompassing strategy that surpasses conventional PR measurements. This viewpoint reflects the shifting dynamics of fashion PR, with an increasing emphasis on digital interaction and direct consumer outreach.

Yet, Baden Bower’s track record highlights the success of its methodology. Whether supporting rising designers or rejuvenating well-established labels, the agency has made significant impacts, showcasing the lasting importance of adept PR in today’s digital era.

Forecasting the Future of Fashion PR

With cautious optimism, the fashion sector anticipates moderate growth, expecting the luxury market to expand by 3-5% in 2024—a slowdown from prior years.
