Key Loch have both seen impressive levels of success with their work in the streaming sphere. Fans of their music will be pleased to hear that Key Loch now has over 1M streams on Spotify, and over 2M on across YouTube, Deezer, Amazon, and Apple Music! One thing is clear, people across the globe are loving Key Loch to bits. See for yourself!

Take note that the majority of streams are coming from playlists that aren’t owned by us. That means that people have discovered Key Loch through natural browsing and have added it to their personal playlists, or perhaps to playlists that aim to expose budding artists within a genre. It may even be some influence from radio station playlists! Either way, Key Loch is turning heads and it’s looking like it’ll be smooth sailing here on out for the band. Whether they’re bringing original compositions or covers, their usual swanky style or a different aesthetic all together, Key Loch have their foot in the door of stardom, and they’re breaking into the big leagues the more that life goes on. Combining music experience with passion, and collaborating with multiple different artists and mixers, Key Loch is a fluid and dynamic operation that is sure to have something to satisfy you, no matter what your discerning taste requires.

Key Loch are Damien Reilly and Justin Gross. They are the founders of the 90’s power Aussie Rock Band Southpaw. They bring together a production history between them of 50 years of song writing and playing live music in Australia. They collaborate with mixers such as Gabe Rizza, Tom Polce, and Chris Garcia, and vocalists such as Avery May Parker and Sahra, and the melting pot of talents and life journeys is clear to hear in their wonderful music across the many genres in which they dabble. The future is bright and Key Loch are wearing shades as they unlock the musical doors of your mind and fill it full of awesome music. This is the beginning of something amazing and the world can never have enough of GREAT tunes. Just listen to that mo-town talent and get ready to sway.

Kay L and Stephen Voyce are a duo that are becoming ever-more well-known as time marches on. They’ve teamed up for plenty of awesome bangers in the recent past, and this one is no different: Dirt On My Name is a deep-cutting slapper that tells it like it is, and shows fierce independence in the face of a rigged system. You can listen to it in the media players below.

The higher you stand above the rest, the easier it is for jealous people to put a target on your back. That sentiment can apply to petty drama and haters, but it can also apply to systemic oppression. That’s what this track is all about. If they think they can get away with it, people will drag your name through the mud if you have what they want. Dirt On My Name goes hard and spits based truths while keeping the instrumental and flow smooth. There’s some anger in here, but also some genuine sadness over having to deal with prejudice, something that is sure to be relatable to anyone who has experienced the social issues that this song is commenting on. The trap beat pairs well with the swaying melody and dejected lyrics, leading to a track that will have you nodding your head while you’re thinking about why the world is so wrong. Pensive tracks that have a lot to say are remembered for years to come for a reason. Let’s hope that in this case, it’s remembered as a time capsule, because all these social movements fighting for the rights of minorities are making a difference every day. Kay L and Stephen Voyce know this, and they’re here to speak out on what really matters, supporting your fellow human beings and not defaming based on prejudiced notions. “I see how they want it, lay down on your stomach, hands up or we’ll shoot, that’s just the way that they do”… the names of Kay L and Stephen Voyce can be dragged through the mud as many times as possible and they’ll still rise above it. That’s what we foresee.

After being acclaimed as the #1 opening act in Canada, Juno nominated artist Kay L has shown absolutely no signs of slowing down. He’s probably most known for his work with the group District 5, and his clever lyricism and intoxicating choruses. He has toured with the likes of: NAS, SNOOP DOGG, AKON, RIHANNA, FLO-RIDA, THE GAME, REDMAN & METHODMAN, ASHANTI, GINUWINE, SEAN KINGSTON, OBIE TRICE, MARIO, FABOLOUS, PITBULL, BOYZ II MEN, EVE, D12, JOE BUDDEN and many more! Kay L has also been able to extend his talents far beyond his stomping grounds to countries such as Jamaica, where he toured with “Drum n DJ”, a group whom he has experienced much radio success with. He’s established a sound that is nothing short of unique… So add him to your playlist and get ready to feel every high and low that his array of emotional tracks have in store for you, just like the anger and passion behind Dirt On My Name! You won’t regret the many different journeys ahead, as long as he’s with ya.

So if you love Kay L just as much as us, and wanna keep your ear to the ground on any new releases from him, we have just the social media accounts and Spotify lists for you to turn to. Watch this space, because with how much he loves doing what he does, this definitely won’t be the last we hear of him!

Yesterday we hinted at it, and today we’re bringing you the sweet details! May 7th, the Latin Bash, Yakima with DL Down3r! Check it out!

The details are all in the poster. DL Down3r will be showing up with several other stars for the 3PM show, smoking out the Smoke It’s Smoke shop with their fire tunes like it was nothing. Bring the whole family and snag those tickets on eventbrite and we’ll see you in WA when the doors open at 2! Get in early, grab some show snacks, and get ready to bring the house down. We’ve seen many a time that Down3r can work a crowd, and this is bound to be no exception! After all, just think back to the Arena Wars show and how lit that was! If you aren’t familiar, then perhaps you’ve seen this little vid on our Youtube and on the DL Down3r Fan Page Facebook…

We talked all about that yesterday, and the hype was unreal! And the Arena Wars organisers seem to agree, based on this comment we found here!

Super nice. And you can tell the people in the crowd and the Arena Wars fighters would have loved it just as much. DL is a natural fit for the stage like that. After all, when you look at DL’s career, it’s clear why they chose him and his crew to hype up the crowd.

As DL himself says:

“I am ready to take my music to the world and make a positive impact on everyone who comes into contact with it. One day I recorded my song Suga Boom Boom using a beat I did off of the refrigerator and uploaded it on Facebook, and overnight it went viral. It now has over 170 million views and counting. The song has taken on its own life and continues to grow everyday.”

It has more than 170 million views now, when you count all the platforms it’s on together! WAY more! Now that’s a success story that we won’t get tired of hearing.

Through fierce and funky west coast rap, Down3r shares his prolific work with the rest of the world, and the stage with west coast rap legends such as Coolio, Brown Boy, Jay Tablet, Lil Young, Snoopyblue, LadyDice, Baby Bash, Steel City Hustlers, King Z and DJ Kane to name a few.

From powerful messages, lyrical poetry and sharp comments on society, to G-funk and Trap/EDM hype songs, he proves that age and experience is the opposite of a liability in today’s rap game. Blast it loud, get ready to feel something, and rest assured knowing that hip hop never died! And if you wanna witness that for yourself, there’s only one place to be this May… SEE YOU AT THE LATIN BASH, FAM!

Not even two months ago we were saying that Key Loch’s signature song is just shy of 300K on Spotify, and now, they’ve surpassed that! The rapid growth is to be expected now with Where Is The Love, but it’s still a pleasant surprise whenever it leaps ahead like this!

Just look at that. From the last time we checked it was at 285,455 plays, now it’s at 304,372 at the time of writing! The streams on this track are going wild! Since the music video for Key Loch’s “Where Is The Love” dropped, the song has been seeing a whole new brand of success. So let’s take a look back at that, shall we?

Whether you prefer the spicy and sizzling music video or just jamming out to the song itself, Key Loch has you covered! Especially considering the widespread availability of this song. 300K isn’t the total number of streams overall… it’s just the number of streams on Spotify alone! Across all platforms this song is booming!

It’s certainly fair to say that Key Loch have seen lightning strike with this track. To see it come so far in so many different ways, as well as the band’s overall success, must make them all proud. Avery’s lyric work along with Damien and Justin’s sound work and Gabe’s mix/master support have made this whole operation into a dynamic machine that deserved to take home these awards! Congrats to the whole crew. Enjoy your success as we enjoy your tunes.

Key Loch are Damien Reilly and Justin Gross. They are the founders of the 90’s power Aussie Rock Band Southpaw www.southpawmuzik.com.

The future is bright and Key Loch are wearing shades as they unlock the musical doors of your mind and fill it full of killer tunes.

Key Loch are a Blue Pie Records USA artist published by Blue Pie Publishing USA (ASCAP) for the world. For more information on Key Loch you can visit their website at www.keyloch.com or check out where it all began for Damien and Justin at Southpaw | www.southpawmuzik.com

The Key Loch releases have really been coming out hot, haven’t they? They’ve all been really solid tracks, whether they be original compositions or remixes. Last time we had a look at I Belong To You, the latest outing of Sahra and Key Loch. When you put those two elements together, you get fantastic hits like this, and personally, we can’t get enough!

But that’s not all for Key Loch or Sahra! This track hasn’t been out for very long but already it has over 3K plays on Spotify! We have several mixes to choose from in this EP, so without further ado, let in The Lightness Of Day and watch Key Loch and Sahra shine!

The duo of Key Loch and their main mixing man Gabe Rizza went to town on this one, and Sahra’s vocals brought down the house. But that’s not all! Also featured in the mixing roster are the legendary Chris Garcia and Tom Polce! You can tell which tracks they worked on from the letters in the song titles. But also joining the ranks is an old Southpaw favourite, Phil Munro! Looking good team! No wonder this track is seeing so much attention with all this industry experience and expertise on display. And with all these different styles of music lending themselves to the introspective melancholy song, the flavours of music reflect the creative minds of the creators behind it. It’s wonderful to see the colourful ideas on display here, and Sahra’s performance is the glue holding it all together – which explains why she’s been a Blue Pie artist for many years before Key Loch ever formed!

When you know Sahra’s story, her musical quality and persistence all start to make sense. From a small country town north of Sydney, Australia, Sahra was introduced to the world of entertainment at an early age. Even as a child, Sahra was convinced that performing would be her life. Since then she has journeyed far.

Singing alongside Australian acts such as Vanessa Amorossi and Richard Clapton, touring with bands throughout Australia, and performing both as a singer and actress on television, Sahra is no stranger to the entertainment industry. Sahra and Blue Pie Director, Damien Reilly, first met in 1996 and they have remained friends ever since. The duo began writing in 1997, and put together their first song “One Sweet Day” with Producer Phil Munro. Since that time, Sahra Damien and Phil all set out to write a solid body of songs. These would all aim to be timeless and true to Sahra’s vocal ability. To see things come full circle for them once again like this (with Damien’s work on these remixes as part of the Key Loch duo) is incredibly satisfying.

Sahra’s angelic voice, coupled with her ability to take you away to the true essence of the songs that she sings, makes her work very unique. She has that special magic that stars possess and she truly shines on her own. That’s why it’s so exciting that her music is going to get its time in the limelight like this! Let’s all tune in and wish Sahra the best! And once she does, with tracks like Lightness Of Day playing, we’ll have to be prepared to really feel something deep and emotional!

We hope that you enjoy your time listening to this incredible music. Sahra is available at all leading digital streaming services including Spotify, Amazon, iTunes, Beatport and Deezer. If you would like to know more about Sahra of if you would like to license any of Sahra’s music then please email pr@bluepie.com.au.

Sahra is a DJ Central Records and Blue Pie Records USA artist. Sahra is published by Blue Pie Publishing USA (ASCAP) for the world.

Gabe Rizza is a mixmaster for Key Loch and has spun his unique musical aesthetic with plenty of tracks, both original and remix! His magic touch is distinct, and his love of percussion and bass really shows in the work he does. You can hear his considerations for every little adjustment to his mixes when you listen to them, especially in these three new mixes of varying tone and feeling, and that level of craftsmanship is definitely refreshing in a mainly automated industry!

This is the beginning of something amazing and the world can never have enough of GREAT music.

You remember the last time we chatted about the collaborations between Sahra and Key Loch, right? If you don’t, you’re missing out on Let’s Dance, a remaster that absolutely nails its inspiration and is one of the best retro hits from Sahra since Boogie Oogie Oogie graced our ears!

The duo of Key Loch and their main mixing man Gabe Rizza went to town on this one, and Sahra’s vocals brought down the house. Tom Polce also pitched in for the stellar TP mix, rounding it out to an EP that won’t be forgotten any time soon. It was truly an awesome way to end 2021 for Sahra.

So what have Sahra and Key Loch been up to in the new year? This is a new standout hit coming your way, so be ready – they’re blowing some Kisses straight at you!

Almost reminiscent of future funk, this new hit is growing rapidly online and is bound to get your head nodding to the tempo. The brass section is jazzy, the vocals are snazzy, and Sahra and Key Loch have shown the world that they haven’t missed a beat even as two years have gone by since the early days of Where Is The Love! But unlike Let’s Dance, Kisses wasn’t a remix. It’s a brand new, bona fide original composition! It’s a musical meeting of the minds up in here, brainstorming tomorrow’s biggest hits, and as you may have noticed, Kisses is such a creatively abundant track that it has multiple mixes published! Gabe Rizza contributed to both of them, as you might have clued in from the GR in the title, and Tom Polce pitched in for another TP mix! The gang is all here, and the rock solid foundation of Sahra’s vocals brings it all together in a big way.

To see things come full circle for them once again like this (with Damien’s work on these remixes as part of the Key Loch duo) is incredibly satisfying. Especially as this is an all new composition and really hearkens back to the good old days in that way!

This is the beginning of something amazing and the world can never have enough of GREAT music.

Are you ready for some Tender Love and Care, some good old TLC? Key Loch have you covered with their two latest releases. Both Shake and Friends feature the legendary Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, and the talent of the 4 time Grammy winner is really shining through, even posthumously!

The cheerful flow and funky bounce of 90s pop will have you shakin’ that ass to the beat! And the added Funk Version for Shake by Key Loch’s main mixing man Gabe Rizza has brought a whole new spin to the track, making it a difficult decision whether the original or the Funk mix is preferred! No matter what you prefer, it’s good beats all around. And as for Friends, this will have you nodding your head more than dancing like crazy, busting a move with style and rhythm rather than getting spellbound in a frenzy. Both kinds of parties are our kinds of parties, no matter what the spice is! And that’s just what you’d expect from musical visionaries like TLC.

If you were living under a rock back in their heyday, TLC were America’s hottest girl group back in the 90s. Lisa Lopes was one of the trio that put them on the map. Unfortunately she passed away in 2002, but her music still lives on to this day, as you can clearly see! We owe a special debt of thanks to our wonderful artist Suzanna Lubrano for helping us get our hands on the rights for this! After all, she and Lopes collaborated in the past, and it shows with how dazzling their styles can be!

But how did Suzanna do it? Via her label, TransCity Netherlands. We’ve talked about them before, and their head honcho René Romer is absolutely the man for helping us get this underway! The TransCity catalogue is truly a treasure trove of terrific tunes, and that’s evident even from a moment of browsing. For more info on Mr Romer and TransCity, check out his links below!

These remasters are truly a kickass edition to both Key Loch and Lisa Lopes’ overall arsenals. The remastered versions that Key Loch put out truly pop, and if you’re familiar with their work, it’ll all make sense why, once you learn Gabe Rizza was behind the mixing. Gabe Rizza is a mixmaster for Key Loch and has spun his unique musical aesthetic with plenty of tracks, both original and remix! His magic touch is distinct, and his love of percussion and bass really shows in the work he does. You can hear his considerations for every little adjustment to his mixes when you listen to them, and that level of craftsmanship is definitely refreshing in a mainly automated industry!

When you get special musical powerhouses like these versions of Friends and Shake, if you follow the trail of production you’ll see why they sound so good. With talented mixers and musicians like Key Loch making banger after banger, followed by Lubrano and Romer organising and collaborating to make everything run smoothly, then at the very top we have an icon like Lisa Lopes of TLC. It’s a mountain of talent, and the result is that these tracks will be stuck in our heads for even more years to come, far beyond the 90s golden age! Thanks TLC for leaving us something to blossom from – your music will never ever die, it’s pretty clear to see!

Sexy, sensual, and stimulating. With those adjectives, this latest track from Kay L featuring Stephen Voyce is definitely a Triple S project! The swaying beat entices you, lures you deeper into the song, and hypnotises you all the way through.

Kay L has often been known for being an artist who will meld catchy beats with deep, introspective lyrics, and create songs charged with emotion. But sometimes it can be good to take a break from that and just listen to something alluring like this. It’s dirty, it’s attractive, and it’s oh so raw. It’s sure to get you in the mood to do the business, or to just sway seductively on the dance floor! We need a bit of levity every now and again in our lives, especially in today’s depressing world. And a bit of sexual tension like this is just what the doctor ordered to help us chill out a bit! Or perhaps it’ll do the opposite… either way, can’t complain. Primal fun is definitely on the horizon. Especially when you read some of these spicy lyrics!

So if you love Kay L too, and wanna keep your ear to the ground on any new releases from him, we have just the social media accounts and Spotify lists for you to turn to. Watch this space, because with how much he loves doing what he does, this definitely won’t be the last we hear of him!

We said they were on their way, and they made sure that this was a tour to remember! The Suga Boom Boom crew took Arizona by storm and saw to it that they were the hottest party in town! TEN THOUSAND people showed up! Now that’s a hell of a night.

The night was dope as hell, and there’s no underselling that. Obviously we can look to the talent of all the artists involved when we think about how lit it was, but you should always remember the crew behind the scenes making it all happen. The Suga Boom Boom gang have given them their shoutouts too, along with giving the ups to each other and the brotherly bonds they share!

G’s 1st Studios has done a hell of a job putting all this together, and their social media hype surrounding the event before it went off is sure to be a large contributing factor to why it went down so good! We already KNOW you’ve seen these around before the event, a couple weeks back. Well we reckon it did the trick!

Avondale got rocked to its core, and seeing Down3r on stage with all of his crew is gonna be a sight to remember for the rest of our lives! Did we see you there?! DL Down3r and Lokust Luciano tore up the stage across these events, but don’t think for a second that they were alone! Just like the pre-event posters say, joining them were Bigg Cixx, Cordell Drake, Uno Tha Prodigy, Solja Sick, Moscato, NHL Gang, Yostailingo, Mia Banc33, A.N.R., Stee3y Cash, Backwood Biddy, Immin3nt Thr3at, Native Kyng, and G’s 1st Studios! That’s an all-star roster if we’ve ever seen one, and no matter your preferences for hip hop, there’s sure to be someone you like in the lineup. Perhaps you had a chance to see them at the limited meet and greet? Even if you didn’t, it would have been so lit to see this WILD show in person!

We’ve talked a big game about a few of these artists in particular in the past, and a refresher course might be just the thing you need if you attended the events and wanted to follow up on some fresh faces you wanted to hear more music from. Down3r and Uno Tha Prodigy have rocked many awesome and emotional singles together before, and the recent UNDEFEATED with Cordell Drake is absolutely killer. Bigg Cixx and DL showed the world that they take No L’s, Solja Sick impressed us with his awesome “Alright” that made New Years 2019 a blast, and of course Lokust Luciano has been turning heads his way with his latest releases. In fact, Lokust and DL are on our radars in a big way lately!

Lokust Luciano was born William Arciszewski on June 21st, 1988 as a premature baby, and diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy. He grew up in North Fort Myers and began writing poetry at the tender age of 9 years old. He is the first rapper with Cerebral Palsy, and has been active in multiple facets of the Hip-Hop scene since 1998. He moved to Florida for leg surgery when he was very young, as the medical world at the time (1988) didn’t have a solid understanding of Cerebral Palsy yet, so he had to seek out an expert specialist. Orlando was the only place he could go for it, and he came out on the other side grinning. He is well known in the underground music scene for his production talent and lyrical delivery. He is also sometimes known by the handle “Crippled Kingpin”.

The adversities he has overcome are now a part of his personal aesthetic, showing his strength and sturdy sense of humour. His creative drive is unstoppable, and we’re sure you’ll agree when you see some of the hits from his catalogue that have been turning heads his way! We’ll see you there, and until next time, do what we’re planning to do… keep your ear to the ground for some spicy new releases from the Kingpin himself!

For more, check out Lokust’s bio here!

And of course there’s DL Down3r, the namesake behind the “Suga Boom Boom” part of the tour. Through fierce and funky west coast rap, DL Down3r shares his prolific work with the rest of the world, and the stage with west coast rap legends such as Coolio, Brown Boy, Jay Tablet, Lil Young, Snoopyblue, LadyDice, Baby Bash, Steel City Hustlers, King Z and DJ Kane to name a few.

From powerful messages, lyrical poetry and sharp comments on society, to G-funk and Trap/EDM hype songs, he proves that age and experience is the opposite of a liability in today’s rap game. Blast it loud, get ready to feel something, and rest assured knowing that hip hop never died! For evidence of that, we’re pretty sure all attendees for these recent Arizona shows will attest to the experience they’ve had… Suga Boom Boom baby!

Three Sixty was a true revolution for J. Young AKA JAY. Young. For the first time, all of his hits were conveniently gathered in one place, ready to jam to, ready for appreciation of fans new and old! Sexy Dress, Oxygen, She’s A Thrilla, and other amazing classics are all ready to get stuck in your head… and some new tracks were also on the table! The buildups and drops are just the kind we like in tracks like these- none of them within this collection overstay their welcome. Three Sixty is perfect for letting yourself go, getting into it, and just dancing everything away! A runaway success no matter how you look at it.

But just what is it that’s on offer here? With every artist, there’s one track that put them on the map forever, and for J. Young, “Oxygen” was that landmark! It’s lucky then that this album features “Oxygen” of course, but also has some extra remixes to help spice up the original! Featuring J. Young’s other iconic hits such as “Sexy Dress” and “She’s A Thrilla”, as well as remixes of these excellent songs, this EP has something for all tastes and is sure to offer you the tropical experience you’ve been craving… but there’s ONE PARTICULAR STANDOUT TRACK that really gets our motors running. That track, of course, is Cadillac.

This is an easygoing synth poppy track with the funky guitars we’ve all come to expect from J. Young. This track stood out so much that it’s now a standalone single, not just a track among many on Three Sixty!

The sexy and sunny lyrics are perfect for playing while you cruise around in your ride, whether it be a Cadillac or not… although having a convertible roof would definitely help, as this is a “wind in your hair” kind of vibe. It’s a classy song, well worthy of being made into a single, and is as chill as an air con on a summer day. So blast that AC and blast those speakers, because Cadillac is the latest demonstration of J. Young’s incredible talent that we’ll be remembering for years to come! Be sure to add it to your dance and club playlists for a fresh musical take by J Young whenever you need it. What are you waiting for?! We know you feel that rhythm pulling you to dance. Why deny it?!
