Mark July 7-9 in your calendars, people, because Wireless Festival has just announced the first round of headliners for this year’s edition.

Unlike the barely-contained rowdiness of the “Waze” video that launched the album, […]
It goes without saying: it’s been a stressful and depressing year for the UK, with the country more divided than ever. But thankfully, UK music has had an incredible one. In 2019, we have seen the likes of Mahalia, Fredo and D-Block Europe hit the big time, dominating and even topping the charts. It was also a […]
Rapman directed the video for “Playing For Keeps”, which also features Dave. How did those collaborations come about? LB: Dave’s been in the cut, back and forth. He came to the studio, laid the verse and then from there, we all agreed that we should make it into a movie. We felt the vibe of […]
The rise of D-Block Europe — aka Young Adz and Dirtbike LB — has been fast and relentless, and they’re not slowing down yet.
