Our writer Elliot Chapman has demonstrated his exceptional level of songwriter and musicianship since joining our publishing roster last year. His most recent track - a collaboration with Texas' Devon Rea, is a soothing emotive ride. Slow & tender in it's instrumentation 'Belly' really captures a feeling of over-combing troubles. Check it out here.
Our writer Alix Robson has had a busy month. Preparing for the re-opening of her studio - Charthouse Studios in Portsmouth along with an avalanche of songwriting sessions and collaborations. This month saw the release of the official video for 'Want You' - her 2020 smash with Dutch producer Voost.

JD McLellan also known as TeKlo was back at it this month with his synonymous banging electronica. 'NGL' is an aggressive, confrontational track which blends trap, hip-hop and dubstep. What more could you ask for.

Firstly his track with Brett Gould - 'Lay Your Hands' check out this vocal house with tech influence out now on Saved Records.
