Antix x “When It Falls”

Leave a reply

“A radical voice” – Clash Music

“Poignant messages over soulful beats” – Red Bull Music

“His talent is genre crossing, in a very honest sense” – Huffington Post

SOUNDCLOUD

Antix is an unconventional rapper, part of a generation of more conscious hip hop artists alá Logic or Khalid. His music has always proudly stood outside the norms of his genre, and shuns the bravado and materialism of many of his contemporaries. He has delivered his signature flow on topics ranging from mental illness (“Come Home”) to religious oppression (“Afshin’s Song”). His work is heavily informed by his own experiences, and aims to help end stigmas around certain topics. 

To date, Antix has dropped two mixtapes, 2010’s ‘Inflammable Grammar’ and 2014’s ‘Question Everything;’ which saw support from the likes of Red Bull Music, BBC Introducing and MTV Brand New. Though he initially struggled to fit into the London hip hop scene, so different was what he was doing, and he used social media instead to foster intimate fan interactions. As a result, his openness and energy has gained him a multitude of followers across the world (his current streaming figures are 3 million). 

“I was always trying to be ‘accepted’ by some scene, until I realized that the fans are all that matter. People message me now and tell me my music saved their life, helped them with depression, things like that. When you realized how important that is, the ‘scene’ can go fuck itself.”

Antix returns with his new track “When It Falls,” and his re-location to the US is evident in the shift in tone. The song shifts between the quiet, resolute core of Antix’s verses and the emotional gusts of Greg Delson’s choruses. This is a mission statement on determination in the face of adversity, a significant subject for Antix. He is an artist with great success behind him, and continues to claw his way forward. While also involved with ‘secret concert’ collective Flights of Voices and socially conscious movements such as Occupy Wall Street, he is nothing if not ambitious. With “When It Falls,’ Antix continues to display that ambition and his potential for universal appeal. This is an artist who knows exactly what he wants to do, who he is, and who he is going to be.

BIG SEAN & METRO BOOMIN RELEASE DOUBLE OR NOTHING

CATCH THEIR LIVE PERFORMANCE ON THE TONIGHT SHOW STARRING JIMMY FALLON ON MONDAY, DECEMBER 11TH

Today, BIG SEAN and METRO BOOMIN release their highly anticipated joint album, Double Or Nothing [Boominati Worldwide/Republic Records /GOOD Music/Def Jam], in stores and at all digital retailers.

Get it HERE.

Double Or Nothing unites game-changing producer METRO BOOMIN with one of rap’s hottest multiplatinum superstars BIG SEAN for a powerhouse body of work. Last month, they introduced the album with “Pull Up N Wreck” [feat. 21 Savage], igniting excitement for its impending arrival.

METRO BOOMIN upholds the hottest hot streak of 2017 with Double Or Nothing. On Halloween, he teamed up with 21 Savage and Offset for the surprise mixtape, Without Warning, which bowed at #4 on the Billboard Top 200. Earlier this year, he unleashed his 2017 debut solo single “No Complaints” [feat. Offset & Drake]. To date, the track has impressively amassed over 65 million Spotify streams and counting and been a mainstay at the top of Urban Radio. Right now, he’s in the midst of working on his forthcoming full-length debut—out soon.

Earlier this year, 7-time BET Award-winning and GRAMMY® Award-nominated superstar BIG SEAN landed his second consecutive #1 debut on the Billboard Top 200 with the platinum-certified I Decided powered by the triple-platinum smash “Bounce Back” and platinum “Moves.” It follows up his now-classic 2015 opus Dark Sky Paradise, which marked his first #1 debut on the Top 200 and featured the triple-platinum “IDFWU” [feat. E-40], double-platinum “Blessings” [feat. Drake & Kanye West], and gold “One Man Can Change The World” [feat. Kanye West & John Legend]. Since 2011, he has remained one of hip-hop’s most consistent, omnipresent, and overpowering forces.

Jaira Burns Releases Visual For “High Rollin”

Vevo: http://vevo.ly/Io2LmV

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jf8m9INK2n4

Upscale Music Group/Interscope Records newcomer Jaira Burns releases a visual for her latest track “High Rollin.” The video, directed by Matthew Dillon Cohen, is a compilation of slice-of-life visuals that follow Burns and her friends as they kick back and smoke up. The singer-songwriter has created a genre of her own that she describes as “dark pop, gypsy urban.” She has cultivated sounds that are magically reminiscent of her upbringing, which blended rural atmospheres with urban textures and tones. Her breakout single “Ugly” was handpicked by Olivier Rousteing as the musical backdrop for the Beats/Balmain ad campaign which featured Kylie Jenner.

“High Rollin” is now available at all digital retailers. Jaira will be supporting Australian-born musician Wafia on tour which kicks off January 22, 2018. Tickets for the tour can be purchased at www.jairaburns.com.

Attendees invited to meet the world-renowned abstract artist from Guatemala, as part of a full day of interactive programming, starting at 1:00 p.m.

Miami, FL – Saturday, December 9th, 2017: Thousands of art enthusiasts attended the second full day of Spectrum Miami and Red Dot Miami to discover more than 75 modern and contemporary galleries from the Florida region and around the globe, representing over 500 leading contemporary artists from primary and secondary markets, within the walls of the only three shows under one roof.

On Friday evening, local Miami producer and fashion curator, Celia Evans of Planet Fashion TV, put on a stunning presentation at Red Dot Miami entitled ‘Art After Dark’ that showcased art-inspired fashion through the ages. The invitation-only VIP event featured models on top of especially created boxes, transformed with designs from various labels from the seventies, eighties, nineties and today. DJ entertainment and live music were enjoyed by a crowd of hundreds who gathered around the main entertainment area to catch a glimpse of models wearing retro designs and t-shirts with bold fashion statements.

Today’s third complete day of programming invites attendees to meet the acclaimed abstract artist from Guatemala, Sergio “Valenz” Valenzuela – a contemporary artist who tells stories with everyday objects, primarily expressing them with graphite and acrylic on canvas. His medium to large abstract artworks prominently feature elements such as chairs, ladders, and beds. These recognizable structures serve as a way for the artist to signify the opportunities, growth and dreams we all carry as individuals. Valenz’ wall art has been featured in over eighty group shows and thirty solo exhibitions in South America and around the world. Among numerous recognitions and awards he was selected as the winner of the “Young Artist” award in 2005, and granted a scholarship to study at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts, Valen.

Programming highlights for Saturday, December 9th at Spectrum Miami and Red Dot Miami, include the following.

SPECTRUM MIAMI2:00 p.m. ART TALK / LIVE DEMONSTRATION: ARTIST TRISTINA DIETZ ELMESArt Talk Stage, Booth 918, sponsored by Artblend Growing up in Asia, Tristina Dietz Elmes soaked up the oriental culture, developed an appreciation for the arts, and formed an innate sense of balance and color.

3:00 p.m. MEET THE ARTISTS: i+CONNECTi+CONNECT, Booth 704 Witness a live demonstration of the i+CONNECT Interactive Art Gallery.

We’ll also be his muse while he shows us his talent and paints for us.

RED DOT MIAMI 3:00 p.m. MEET THE ARTIST: VALENZArte Collective, Booth R205, R305 By using elements such as chairs, ladders, beds, monocycles, trapeze artists, swings, and machines, Valenz tells stories about life. The chairs signify, according to the context, opportunities and the patience required for them to step into our lives. The ladders represent our desire to climb, to continue our personal growth. Beds represent periods when we sleep and dream, things we cannot share with anyone else. Playful characters are representative of the uniqueness and singularity of each of the moments that we experience throughout our lifetimes and the game that life is. Come meet Valenz, and share some of the game with him.

6:00 p.m. MEET THE ARTISTS: ARIEL ORTEGA & NASRIN SHEYKHIABRA Gallery, Booth R203 Influenced by his native Colombia, Ariel Ortega is unable to detach from the history of his native land and uses it as a driving force to work harder and bring his inspiration to others. In this way, he feels his art accomplishes its mission. For Nasrin Sheykhi, her works do not fall into just one category. Painting, caricature, illustration—each work beckons the viewer to come closer to catch the references to architecture, music, cinema, literature, calligraphy, physics, psychology. The pieces are alive with movement and hidden meanings. Come meet these innovative artists and see what influence their art makes upon you.

7:00 p.m. MEET THE ARTIST: MARIELLE PLAISIRContemporary Art Projects USA, Booth R215Upon first glance, you see the depth of the narrative in each of Marielle Plaisir’s exquisite tapestries and unique paintings. Meet Plaisir and hear her story, her influences, and inspirations. The essence of her artworks is theatrical—and we are drawn into the story and drama of each one. As a French-Caribbean artist, she blends life and fiction into her use of textiles, fibers, and fabrics and brings social commentary to each piece. Her surrealist approach allows her to move from the reality of life to the capacity of imagination.
