Stephanie Smit aka Giek_1 is a musician and visual artist based in Amsterdam. The new single “Both Ways” is one of those songs that immediately takes you into a different headspace with its atmospheric production and Giek_1’s layered, ethereal vocals.

After a heavy accident derailed their careers, they are now back with a new album “The Moment,” scheduled for release in June. Dance Loud they call the project and they do “emotional dance music,” which well describes the fusion of dance-floor-ready beats and emotive vocals.
Exit Kid is a London-based duo comprised of Years & Years’ Emre Turkmen and drummer Dylan Bell, who just released a very timely single with “Hell in a Handcart”.
