Ayah Marar – Lethal Dose

ayah marar - lethal dose

To go along with the release of “Queen Of Bass” Ayah Marar’s newest music video, Radikal is proud to present the single for “Lethal Dose.” The track serves as yet another small appetizer to the main course that will be the North American release of Ayah’s debut album “The Real” on July 9th.

The release of “The Real” in the UK last year has propelled Ayah to the forefront of the bass music scene. Championed by the likes of Q Magazine (four stars), Dazed Digital, Vibe, Mixmag, Timeout and The Sun who have labelled her the “Queen Of Bass,” it’s clear that Ayah’s army of supporters is ever growing. Ayah was also recently named Best female Artist in the 2013 Drum And Bass Awards.

“Lethal Dose” dives deep into the darkness of desire and obsession and addresses the effects of emotional and physical addiction. The video for “Lethal Dose” displays a stripped back version of Ayah, and we’re invited in to a more sensitive and vulnerable side of the songstress that we haven’t seen before. Filmed within the warehouses where Ayah is now living, Ayah says, “The making of the video really brought us together as a creative family and community, and touched on the phenomenon that is warehouse life.”

marco v

Marco V has long established himself as one of the most inventive, diverse and creative electronic music minds working today. To reflect this, he’s made it inside DJ Magazine’s Top 50 list for 7 consecutive years.

Now for the first time on Radikal Records, Marco V teams up with Doctors In Florence and Jade Ross to revitalize “Lotus” one of Marco’s fiercest releases in 2012.

With the technical sorcery of the Italian progressive house heroes Doctors In Florence also behind the production of “Lotus (Limitless),” this collaborative combination is destined to result in an explosive hit record. The Doctors have shaped a fearsome collective of house music professionals that together have proven their expertise with a string of devastating releases. Now combined with the experience and vast talents of Marco V, it’s a recipe for success that will have any EDM enthusiast licking their lips.

Packed full of typically stadium-scale melodies and thunderous bass lines, “Lotus (Limitless)” has all of the characteristics we’ve come to expect from one of the world’s leading producers.

In typical Marco V style, the release is an action crammed EDM masterwork that has now been super-sized with the addition of Jade Ross’s beautiful vocal work. The production is pristine and Jade adds a striking layer of euphoria to the already rapturous instrumental. There’s no shortage of big-room vocal tracks in 2013, but you would be hard pressed to find many that pack the combination of stunning vocal lines and rip-roaring bass hits with such dexterity. With a Darwin & Backwall remix reinforcing the package, you can be sure that this EP is an essential acquisition for the EDM enthusiast

Every time Marco V returns with new music, his reputation grows ever more. Only a handful of acts have managed to hold strong at the pinnacle of Dance music for so long.

We are proud to announce that Radikal was able to participate on the A2iM led global trade missions. For the first time, the American government funded a trips around Asia and Brazil to help further the exportation of US music. $300,000 was granted to A2iM, and dozens of labels were chosen to participate in these trade missions. Radikal Records and other EDM labels such as Ultra were fortunate enough to be able to travel across the world, and communicate with very optimistic local distributors, mobile-phone carriers, booking agents and ad agencies.

Labels who participated are already seeing licensing and distrubtion deals from visiting parts of Asia and Latin America, which could generate hundreds of thousands of dollars per year. Rich Bengloff says these deals can “represent as much as a quarter of a small independent label’s revenue.” According to a Bloomberg TV report, A2iM estimates these projects will generate $45M a year. You can watch the Bloomberg TV report here.

With EDM becoming a dominating force in the music industry, it’s pleasing to see efforts made to further expand the awareness and exportation of American music all over the world.
