Sometimes the best music does indeed come from collaborations. In the case of Paskal and Urban Absolutes, their particular production chemistry is a perfect blend. Whether releasing tracks such as “Gotta Make It Right” featuring legendary Chicago vocalist Byron Stingily or the deep, sultry “Still in Love”, Paskal and Urban Absolutes have been responsible for creating some of the most amazing house records in the past few years.

Dave Seaman has a lot to smile at when looking back on his impeccable list of credentials spanning over two decades. It would be easy to add him to the list of superstar DJs and producers considering that as a member of Brothers In Rhythm, he not only produced the chart topping hit "Such A Good Feeling", but BIR's remix list boasts artists such as Michael Jackson, U2, David Bowie, Pet Shop Boys, Janet Jackson, Kylie Minogue, Sting, Inner City, Seal and so many more, that Seaman's resume reads like lengthy holy scrolls.

In the midst of singers twerking, rappers still boosting about themselves and DJ’s reminding everyone to throw their hands in the air, listening to music often times feel like a bombardment of constant advertising and commercials , with only 15 minutes of an actual show. Yet every now and then, an artist has the courage to push through the filler and deliver true substance. London based singer Lea Lea has taken the ambitious step to do just that.
