Pumping Rave Tune & A Creepy Estonian

This week I bring you...

Song Of The Week:
J Majik. + Wickaman- Crazy World
www.myspace.com/jmajikinfrared
Drum + Bass/Jungle

Following in the footsteps of recent drum and bass success' Pendulum and Basshunter, J. Majik & Wickaman team up to make this energetic attack on the chart. Made to be pumped up loud this song has anthemic long notes to sing high to the roof. Just added to the Radio1 playlist and fast gaining popularity, this track is sure to pack the dancefloor with happy ravers! I predict top 10 at least, Number 4. Released 11th August.



New Artist:

From first impressions, creepy is the word that springs to mind when watching the first video (Walking On Air- see below) of this new female songstress. The song is currently featured as the US iTunes Single Of The Week. The bleach blonde Estonian combines haunting piano scales and dramatic violins with a clunking beat to make a haunting debut single. Slight comparisons can be made to her singing style with that of Bjork, and a gothic image similar to Amy-Lee of Evanescence and the films produced by Tim Burton. Backing from a big label like Island Def Jam means a lot of faith has been put into Kerli's future. Big things could follow...
