Friday 1st October 2021

Release date: Out now Label: Perfect Havoc

Perfect Havoc are delighted to have the music extraordinaries Moss Kena, Tobtok, Adam Griffin & James Hurr get together to craft the immense sounding ‘Can You Feel It’, out the 24th September on Perfect Havoc. A cool but feelgood piano house tune in essence, Moss Kena comes along to lift the track higher with his top-class vocal lines. The ‘Fireworks’ star singer provides a soulful approach but still lending to the high production quality of season studio veterans Tobtok, Adam Griffin and James Hurr. This is a collaboration that you do not want to miss. 

Moss Kena is a rare talent. He made his breakthrough after capturing the attention of Kendrick Lamar with a soulful-funk rendition of Lemar’s ‘These Walls’. Inspired by singers such as Amy Winehouse and Al Green, but also growing up on a diet of dance music, Kena released a slew of critically acclaimed R&B tracks throughout 2018 and 2019 on Ministry of Sound, earning him a BBC Radio 1 Introducing playlist addition for his single ‘Square One’ and an Apple Music ‘New Artist Of The Week’ accolade. 34 million streams later, Kena has been championed across Radio 1, 1XTRA and Beats 1 by Zane Lowe, Mistajam, DJ Target and Annie Mac, and toured with pop favourites, Rita Ora, Jess Glynne and Bastille. 

Kena’s proven songwriting ability along with his distinct vocal tone make him a breath of fresh air. Much of 2020 was spent penning new music and the release of ‘Let’s Get Naked’ with producers KORRES marked the start of another exciting year for Kena. The track was instantly a favorite on BBC Radio 1’s Party Anthems and also proved a hit on Tiktok, racking up 20m total views.

Moss is currently riding high with two tracks: one is Ben Pearce’s ‘Snakes and Ladders’, which saw it feature on Love Island, the other is Purple Disco Machine’s ‘Fireworks’, which is proving to be the track of the summer. 30m streams, 1.8m Shazams, support in all the biggest Spotify and Apple Music playlists…This is really proving to be the year of Moss Kena.

Joining Moss is breaking talent, Tobtok aka Tobias Karlsson, one of the most talented artists leading the new wave of Swedish electronic music DJ / producers. He has generated over 450 million streams globally across his original work, remixes and productions for Joel Corry, Robin Schulz and Karen Harding to name few, on such illustrious labels as Ministry of Sound, Kitsuné and of course, his home at Perfect Havoc.

Tobtok’s highlight outings include the Australian double platinum record, ‘Fast Car’; flexing his DJ skills on Toolroom Records’ ‘Miami Poolside’ compilation; and the 2020 release ‘New Levels’ which achieved over 15 million streams globally and was championed as a ‘Tune of the Week’ by Scott Mills on BBC Radio 1, and picked up key DJ support along the way from Sam Feldt, Sigala and Tiësto and many more.

Also on the track is Perfect Havoc co-founder, Adam Griffin. Alongside Robert Davies, Griffin has steered Perfect Havoc into one of the most in-demand independent labels around. Its rising status is underlined by platinum certified releases, generating over one billion global streams, and breaking the three-time Brit Award-nominated producer, Joel Corry on multiple singles including the Number 1 single with MNEK, ‘Head & Heart’.

From DJing at pivotal London clubs in the 90s such as The Cross and Hanover Grand and holding senior marketing roles at Sony / RCA, to then A&R’ing at Perfect Havoc, Griffin’s first studio outing came in 2019. His contagious house cuts prove this label boss can produce with the very best of them. Debut single ‘The Sting’ alongside Tobtok received key support from Annie Nightingale; ‘The Stand Off’ was a hit with Mistajam and made Future Anthem on BBC Radio 1, while ‘Don’t Over Think It’ - produced with house icon Todd Terry – was again a hit on Radio 1’s dance shows. Over 10 million streams have been generated so far by this versatile label head and he’s only just getting started.

Completing the lineup on ‘Feel It’ is rising superstar James Hurr. His credits as a production and mixing engineer are an impressive ‘who’s who’ of the UK’s best-known dance talents. Hurr is behind Mark Knight’s ‘Yebisah’ and Prok & Fitch’s ‘Wow’, plus dozens of tracks, collabs and remixes with Michael Gray, Hoxton Whores, Moto Blanco, Armitage, Frederick & Kusse, Tony Moran and Dominique Young. As a channel for his commercial side, Hurr debuted as ‘Hrrtz’ with the Atlantic Records signed, ‘Miracle ft. Light Army’ achieving over 4.4 million streams. Toolroom Record’s Mark Knight said recently that was Hurr “was on fire”. The man wasn’t wrong. Most recently James produced ‘Jump In’ with legendary DJ Michael Gray. The track was so well received that it was played for 8 straight weeks on BBC Radio 1’s Party Anthems.
