    UK DJ V-12 Unleashes Explosive Jungle Anthem “Murda Style”

    Fresh from the underground, British DJ V-12 drops “Murda Style,” a fierce new jungle track that delivers raw energy straight to the dance floor.

    Mixing heavy-hitting breakbeats, rolling basslines, and sharp ragga samples, Murda Style is a bold homage to the classic jungle sound while pushing it into darker, modern territory. 

    True to its name, the track cuts through with unapologetic attitude — built to ignite raves, underground sessions, and festival stages alike.

    Speaking about the release, DJ V-12 said:

    With ‘Murda Style,’ I wanted to capture the essence of what made me fall in love with jungle: relentless drums, heavy bass, and that raw edge that gets your heart racing. This one’s for the heads who keep the scene alive.

  • Jack Horton and Vesper Stockwell Collaborate on New Single “Never Know Why”

    Jack Horton and Vesper Stockwell Collaborate on New Single “Never Know Why”

    American artist Jack Horton is back with his second EP in a year: Imperfections, a five-song collection that blends storytelling with polished musicianship.

     The pianist’s and songwriter’s release features four original songs and a reimagined version of Jim Croce’s 1972 classic. 

    “As a songwriter, I never thought I’d cover someone else,” Horton says, “but I wanted to bring something new to this song.”

    Horton is releasing one song a month from the EP, starting in April, with the last song being released in August. 

    The most recent is “Never Know Why” a passionate and  duet with singer Vesper Stockwell that starts off bare and ends up with a full symphony. 

    Leading the EP is “Set Me Free,”a song born from personal transformation and letting go. “I’m grateful for my divorce,” Horton says. “Without it, I’d never have written “Set Me Free,” which is about loving someone enough to let them go.”

     Next comes the upbeat, pop-country anthem “String Around My Finger,” the tale of a songwriter choosing love over Nashville. Horton nods to his musical heroes in the lyrics: “I’m playin’ covers at ol’ Joe’s every Wednesday night / Elton John, Johnny Cash, and a little John Prine.”
