Tonight we’re releasing the first single from Jubilee’s forthcoming sophomore album on Mixpak.
Today we’re sharing a brand new music video for Popcaan’s “Body So Good”, coinciding with the one year anniversary of his acclaimed album Forever. Since then, he’s sold out London’s Wembley Stadium, started his own successful Jamaican festival Unruly Fest and continued to headline shows across the world.
The “Body So Good” video was shot in London and stars model Leomie Anderson in a kaleidoscopic nightlife fantasy.
WILDLIFE! BALLADS
A multi-channel sound and light installation
at NITEMIND-SYNC
26 Fulton Street, Manhattan
Presented by @Wallplaynetwork
Open July 11-21
For the first in a series of collaborations at newly launched exhibition space Nitemind-Sync, Brooklyn-based artist collective Nitemind invite Swiss producer and sound artist WILDLIFE!.
For this show, the two collaborators translate WILDLIFE!’s newest record Ballads (Mixpak Records; July 12), into an immersive, multi-channel sound and light installation at an abandoned Financial District department store.
As with previous collaborations, Nitemind and WILDLIFE! borrow and deconstruct archetypical elements from traditional club settings and reassemble them in a multi-room gallery environment. By expanding the record’s original compositions both temporally and spatially, the artists add a physical dimension to the sonic building blocks, extending an invitation to experience the compositions as quasi-sculptural sound and light objects in a physical space.

Today we’re releasing the video for Afro B, Vybz Kartel, and Dre Skull’s hit collab “Shape Nice”.
Bringing together the sounds & vocal styles of London, New York, Jamaica and Africa, the song is an encapsulation of the ever-present dialogue between afro-pop & dancehall.
Afro B is one of London’s rising stars, with his hit song “Drogba (Joanna)” now playlisted on NY radio. Meanwhile, Jamaican artist Vybz Kartel continues to dominate dancehall, with more hit songs than you can count. They’re united by NY producer Dre Skull, known for his work with Popcaan, Wizkid, Davido, and more.
“Shape Nice” has quickly risen to hit status, been playlisted on Rinse FM and Capital Xtra, and spawned the viral #shapenicechallenge on social media.
