Crossroads
Lakrwaze

Crossroads
Physical or decisional
At that point theres’ only one way
We can’t divide ourselves physically to be at places at the same

time
We can’t do things at the same time resulting in lost in

efficiency, time and energy
We are there, stuck in a moment
Stressed with this never ending decision-taking and possible
scenarios raging through our minds
At crossroads, while keeping eye on the decision to take, we
are at times too centered on ourselves; we don’t want to let go,
to delegate as we need to get hold of everything

Help is around
Willingly friends or even strangers might help

We only have to ask
They can help us and ease us through our plights
At crossroads, we must not only look at decisions to take but

look around as well
As help is coming...

PRIDE 2016

As the paths and roads fill with every type of
person you can imagine,
all in rainbow make up
and fancy dress, you
soon come to realise
what day it is.

The one day a
year every Lesbian,
Bisexual, Gay and
Transgender person
can be themselves
without judgement.

It’s Pride 2016 and as I walk
down the road on a sunny Saturday
afternoon, cold beer in hand, I look around
and count myself so lucky to be sharing this
day with my best ones.

The crowd stops and all eyes are on the road
as we remember the Orlando Shooting Victims
and all tribute is paid to them, in that
moment you feel so blessed.

Rainbows decorate the shop windows and
stall holders sell whistles and lanyards to
passers by.

Children look around in amazement at all the different colours in the air.

The walk to the park is a fun one to be greeted at the gates by happy workers,
music playing and happy screams from the fun fair rides. It’s a glorious day.

It’s so important for people to have this day to celebrate who they really are.

24 www.AudiationMagazine.com

To be yourself in a world that wants you to be
someone else is so hard,
but to those who do it
are brave.

Laying on the fresh
cut green grass
with my best

friends around me,
I realise how happy
I am within myself.

Be proud,
be you always.

With the music playing
around me, I relish in the

talent from Alisha Dixon
dancing across the stage
to Sister Sledge playing an oldie

but goodie.

It’s amazing how music and sunshine brings
people together.

Music is the glue that holds society together.

Until next year Brighton, it was a pleasure.

The LGBT community should be proud they put together a fantasic day and, I
for one, am proud to be Gay.

NEW MUSIC

Albert Bevia - You

Introducing the debut EP 'You'
from Spanish artist Albert Bevia.
His Indie Rock music is a modern
take of the David Bowie vocal
style and 80's sounds. This is a
lovely meld of tracks to appeal
to many ears.

To be released on 15th October
2016.

the sensational vocals, the
rhythmic beats. Then the bass

'No Problems' is the new track from London producer/songwriter
Hannah V new single featuring Max Marshall and Ama Schreyer.
Reminiscent of Beyonce, oozing headstrong female spirit.

We have seen a steady stream of material being released from her in the
last year – the 2015 critically acclaimed ‘Version 2.0’ EP, her single ‘It
Ain’t Right” that ended up being the soundtrack for a global Rimmel
Campaign and her last single ‘I Ain’t The One’ featuring the husky vocals
of London favorite Andreya Triana.

'No Problems' premiered by BBC Asian Network is a sparse, heavy hitting,
808 driven beast, with sashaying hi-hats and the usual Hannah V pianos
and unusual harmonies we have now gotten used to. This track is much
harder than Hannah’s previous releases and she says: ‘Music is meant to
be a full representation of the human experience - and sometimes I feel
hella confident! I wanted this track to reflect that unapologetic, decisive
and strong element that is in all of us!”

Hannah V is joined by Baltimore born, London based R&B singer Max
Marshall who we know from her previous hit ‘Control’ with Joining Matrix
& Futurebound, who adds her typical vocal Ama Schreyerthem is her
previous collaborator ’No Problems‘ of 8sass to the mid.

The song talks about this girl gang not wanting any drama - but gives any
potential ‘haters’ this message:

"Promise if you touch me, resolve quickly."

We progress through the intro of Transcode's 'Kingpin' with a
inquisitive state of mind, the rate quickens, heightened pitched
then throws us into the drop. A heady rhythm follows. We are
taken to a daring new place where the limits are endless.

To kick-start the Shadow Series, where we aim to introduce our
listeners to some harder and darker sounds, emerges Transcode.
The young Manchurian specialises in dark and melodic techno,
already touted as an upcoming star by techno giants Stil Vor
Talent.

His single see's two weighty remixes, the first of which is from
German duo Kaiser Souzai, whom are popular among the European
techno circuit and whom we are big fans of here in the Throne
Room office. Kaiser Souzai's remix adds a main room element to
the track, evolving the melody into what we can only describe as
spectacular.

The second remix is one we are extremely honoured to line up
under our label, a simply brilliant take from multi-platinum
producer Glenn Morrison. Most will know Glenn Morrison from his
work with industry leaders like Sony Records and Universal Music
Group as a writer, producer and recording artist.

Rather than simply dipping our toes in the techno pool, Kingpin
see's Throne Room dive in head first.

We are excited to present this meld of Hip Hop and Trap from Keiron
Raven, entitled 'Fly'. The name representing a feeling of freedom, of
which Keiron explains to have used uplifting melodies to express this.
The crossover track progresses in with a subdued rhythm, the high
synths change the tone whilst the beats increase in pace. An illusion

of something more is created, inspiring possibilities of change.

The summer anthem of StoneBridge's 'Put 'Em High' is given a
refresh from Lizzie Curious with a dark bass along with funky
beats.

The infectious Put 'Em High vocals are combined with a driving
bassline and Lizzie's trademark energetic house grooves. Add to
this a killer piano riff and a spine-tingling breakdown and you
have all the ingredients for a euphoric remix of this classic
house track.

StoneBridge said 'I hand picked Lizzie Curious because I needed
a UK twist for this remix pack and done by someone that
understands the song and how big it was in the UK. The result
totally blew me away - and many other DJs judging from the
insane reactions!'

The Lizzie Curious remix of Put 'Em High has hit #1 on
Trackitdown.net, #8 on the prestigious DMC Buzz Chart and is
being supported by the likes of Robbie Rivera, Dirty Vegas,
eSquire, Federico Scavo and many more.

We begin Coco featuring Protoje's 'Ova Here' by looking out across
and through the streets of a rough rural city. The theme is gritty

and strong, you don't want to mess with the flow.

Filmed in Kingston, Jamaica, Protoje’s hometown, and produced
by Toddla T & The Drum Keys, Coco releases his thoughts on his
music journey and the system as he get’s lyrical in a mindful state

for the video.

Track: WNDR – Meant To Be

A choppy, syncopated deep/future House style draws you in. The male and female
vocal contrasting well, the beat drops into a flavourful tone. Upon first hearing,
I was not a fan of this, it has quite grown on me. Having been launched into the
public eye in 2015, the track is now gaining an influx of interest from this tv
commercial by the popular online clothing brand. The future sound comes from
Norway based DJ/producer WNDR who has previously had releases on Sony
Music, Crosswalk Records and Epic Tones Records.

In the back of a cab, Rob Richings sets off on his journey, the spotlights of
the city twinkling away. His tender voice enters on top of the lovely indie/

country melody of 'Ten Seconds'.

Rob Richings is a man making good on a promise to himself. The singer-
songwriter’s debut album ‘Parkas and Boots’ is a collection of observant
and personal folk songs - the tales of a troubadour who knows too well

how fragile life can be.

It was a brush with death that gave Rob a new sense of perspective and
renewed lease of life. In 2009 he was diagnosed with a rare and severe

form of colitis, which after years of misdiagnosis, metastasised into
cancer. Now, following three life-saving and life-changing operations Rob

is thriving and can expect to live a relatively normal life. While on the
road to recovery Rob decided enough was enough and it was time to get

serious about his music.

“I don’t want my illness to define what I do,” Rob says, “but at the same
time, that illness and the way I look at life now has made me a better
songwriter.”

Rob’s songs are, understandably, incredibly poignant. After all, nothing
quite focuses the mind on the past like the possibility of not having a
future. “The album is quite nostalgic. The songs are about growing up and
how I had a sense of openness and freedom. But then as I got older, life
became more complicated and I realised how free and easy my childhood
was." The songs on his debut solo album ‘Parkas and Boots’ carry gently
positive messages that mark Rob out in a genre so often spent exploring

life’s darker corners.

DRAKE

By this, I mean all things Drake. From
“Too Good”, to “Controlla”, to “One

that can’t be narrowed down to one.
Maybe a street mix of his music would
do the trick? Find that at the nearest
