Eighties inspired tune that calls back to those old school house parties of yesteryear. Fans of Miike Snow & Miami Horror should give this one a spin.

Ritza – Shuk
Ladytron beware this track from Ritza is gonna snag a few of your followers as well. It’s a slippery synthpop track that infuses a bit of a punk esthetic into the mix.

Press Release:
Originally formed by Maii Waleed (vocals/keys), Ismail Seleit (keys/synths), Mohamed Mallawany (bass), and Marwan Wahid (drums) in August 2015, Ritza played a number of gigs around Cairo and garnered extensive local attention with their electro/surfpop approach – infused with robotic vocals in Arabic, electronic beats, synth-based disco grooves and driving bass lines.
Waleed brings diverse influences to the table. Having worked with leading Lebanese producer Zeid Hamdan for six years and played numerous gigs in Beirut, Amman, and Cairo, she spent enough time figuring out what sound she wants to produce for herself. Came back to Egypt in 2014, and got together with Seleit and Mallawany to end up with Ritza’s own signature sound of electropop.
Few months later they were joined by guitarist Youssef Abouzeid, who was also part of Waleed’s previous band with Seleit and Mallawany back in 2013, adding melodic guitar lines and noisy ambient textures to realize a fuller sound as a band. Soon enough Hassan Seleit replaced Marwan on drums, and with previous experience with Abouzeid and his brother Ismail in El Manzouma, things added up together pretty naturally with his punchy and teasing drum lines.
Ritza has now written almost an hour of music that ranges from mellow, ambient sounds that demonstrate somber styles; to faster, tighter and more synth-dominated dance tunes.

About this song
track info:
The Los Angeles based Canadian bred Tep No proved himself as an artist to watch, with record like his remix of Ella Eyre sitting around one and a half million streams on SoundCloud alone. His newest offering is a genre-bending electro-pop hit, fusing melodic elements with radio-friendly pop vocals, winding synths, vocal chops and a vibe that is absolutely perfect for summertime.
“The Best Crew is about a lover who gets dumped over something they did, and now they’re trying to get the person back. They realize that this person was the love of their life, and wants them back and in their circle of friends. Everything feels a lot different without them.”
– Tep No
Tep No info:
Tep No is an artist based out of Toronto, ON. In 2014, Tep No decided to quit his acting career; he was living temporarily in LA at the time. He wanted to focus on music and make a successful career out of it, especially since his fellow actor friend Drake had launched in the Hip-Hop world years prior. Since the release of “Promises”, his fanbase has skyrocketed in the underground scene. After a lot of label considerations, Tep No decided to remain independent for the time being in order to focus on his craft. The Last Ones Standing was produced in the summer of 2014 and self-released in January of 2015. Pete Tong premiered the song on BBC1, and it launched Tep No’s career to even higher levels. The song was licensed for an online campaign for Michael Kors, and the song has amassed over 7.5 million streams on Spotify.

Lyrics:
The Best Crew (Written by Tep No)
I remember the day when,
I first laid my eyes on you,
(Nananana, yeah)
And girl, you, took me away, like
Like a beautiful afternoon,

So many things
I can’t undo, oh baby
I wanna go, back in
Your arms,
And unsay the things I said to you
You wanna know why?
I wanna be in love, again, Uh Uh

Smoke weed in the afternoon, yeah

And never feel the weight at all
Keep drinking til the last call
