Our writer Ryan Sewell celebrated his birthday and cowriting on the brand new Purple Disco Machine track in the month of January. 'In The Dark' is the hottest new disco-pop collaboration between the German star and Sophie & The Giants.

It was a big month for Richie Blacker - fresh off the blocks for 2022 and back on our in-house record label Limbo Records with 'Space Cadet EP'.
