DOJA CAT
Not much is known about young wonder, Doja Cat. The mysterious Los Angeles-based singer/rapper sets Soundcloud and Tumblr in a frenzy each time she unleashes another creation. The newly turned 18-year-old began buzzing with her biggest tune to date, “So High,” a rendition of Evil Needles "Falling Leaves" track. Now mastered and re-released, the track was originally recorded on Garage Band and went viral on SoundCloud with over 800k plays. Doja Cat then parked heavy label interest as an industry hot topic, managing to build a natural following with very minimal blog support.
Doja Cat's upbringing has helped her be at ease with her emotions, art, and sound. As a youth, her father danced in Lion King on Broadway and her mother would play tunes from acts like Earth, Wind & Fire, Aaliyah, The Fugees, Erykah Badu and more. Love for soul music has made its influence in her choice of production as well, which made her a trailblazer in Los Angeles’ mostly male-dominated beat head and boom bap scene. In regards to personal style, Doja Cat's bold aesthetic is a reflection of her diverse environment -- the endless world of the internet, 8 bit, anime, instagram, and the artworks of her many talented peers.
With the recent release of her debut 'Purrr!' EP, Doja Cat is set to release her full length next year.
LAPALUX
In a world in which upstart DiY talent is flooding the gates of electronic music, a few recent voices have been so strong as to be startling. Lapalux – AKA 25-year-old Stuart Howard – is certainly one such. As singular as a brilliant artist always should be, his instinctive understanding of the atmospheric power of texture grips the ear immediately on listening.
Lapalux was raised in rural Essex, midway between countryside and town; the classic, isolated hinterland that’s produced many a distinctive British voice. There’s a yearning sense to the record that it’s tempting to relate to the young Howard’s dreams about what his eventual escape into larger life might be. He certainly had a dream start when a shot-in-the-dark email to electronic hothouse Brainfeeder was immediately answered by label head Flying Lotus himself, who quickly moved on to sign him. To this day, Lapalux remains the only British artist on the Los Angeles based label.
Having made fans out of Diplo and SBTRKT, remixed everyone from Lianne La Havas via Crystal Fighters to Bonobo, Tawiah, AlunaGeorge and Speech Debelle, as well as supporting FlyLo and playing the main stage at Sonar and in Japan with Clark, it’s prime time for Lapalux.
