Named after two of the three syllables their first names share, Rebekah Pennington and Rebecca Wilson are Ekkah, a Nu-Disco / Funk duo of multi-instrumentalists from the U.K. Creating relaxed dance floor bangers inspired by early 80s pop and R&B, Ekkah have reignited the need for a live disco sound which weaves soul, disco and funk into energetic pop tunes. Boasting features in editorial playlists, supporting Clean Bandit and millions of streams already, Ekkah are one to watch.
Loverground is the project of multi-instrumentalist Kevin Erlicher. Former leader of the indie band Smooth Ends, the Franco-Argentinian, now based in London, draws his influences in pop, house, and r&b.
Loverground’s influence hits you in the first 10 seconds as the recognisable Ekkah Melody is joined by huge saws, teasing a drop until everything cuts out. An energetic remix of an already bouncing song which sends you straight into a trance like rave when it drops. The bass stabs give Ekkah’s track a whole new dynamic in this dark and absorbing remix. With nods to the 90s coupled with modern breaks and house melodies, this track is a fantastic blend of eras.
