Welcome back to our Artist to Watch Roundup Series! We’ve got quite the selection of tracks this week – from an experimental debut album, to a massive remix by a Grammy-winning producer, to an artist lighting up our record label on their first release with us. Let’s dive in!
NEEB
The forward-thinking band NEEB are finally here with their debut album “Take To The Sky“. With renowned producer Martin Ditcham (known for his work with artists like Talk Talk and Sade) lending his percussive finesse on select tracks, the record captures the band’s dynamic blend of groove, soul, and rhythm.
The founding trio – Mark Hand, Mark Lloyd, and Tony Waite – have built their name on fearless experimentation, moving fluidly through dub, drum & bass, funky house, and jazzy breaks. They’ve shared stages with Zion Train, Pee-Wee Ellis, The Egg, Gong, and Alabama 3, lighting up festivals like Glastonbury (Avalon Stage), Solfest, and Free Rotation.
Now joined by powerhouse vocalist Jasmine Weatherill, NEEB are charting their next chapter and delivering their most confident and creatively charged music yet. It’s a great listen.
SHAB
Global pop powerhouse SHAB recently made a return to the dance floor with a turbo-charged remix of her empowering single “Say It With Your Chest”, reimagined by Grammy-winning DJ and producer Dave Audé. HeAudé injects his signature high-octane energy into SHAB’s anthem, effortlessly layering euphoric drops, pulsing house beats, and festival-ready flair beneath her commanding vocals.
The remix follows the success of SHAB’s 21-track sophomore album “ONE SUITCASE”, a deeply personal project reflecting her journey from refugee to international pop star. A passionate advocate for refugee rights, SHAB has pledged all album profits to Choose Love, a UK-based charity supporting displaced people worldwide.
Fresh off chart-topping hits like “VOODOO” (with Fat Joe), “Lipstick”, and “Dance ’Til You’re Free” SHAB continues her meteoric rise with over 29 million YouTube views, 16 million Spotify streams, and major media acclaim. She’s certainly one to watch in the pop space.
Eileen Carey
Award-winning country-pop star Eileen Carey is back with her uplifting new single, “Carry Me Away”, a shimmering anthem about escaping the ordinary and embracing life’s magic in the moment. Blending lush guitars, layered rhythms, and Carey’s soul-drenched vocals, the track channels a radiant sense of renewal.
A radio chart-topper, Carey has held multiple #1 spots on New Music Weekly’s Indie Top 40 and shared stages with legends like Don McLean, Rita Coolidge, Jefferson Starship, and The Motels. Known for her signature “West Coast Pop-Country” sound and infectious optimism, Carey’s work bridges empowerment and dance-floor energy.
With over 25 career awards, a thriving fanbase, and her new single lighting up playlists, Eileen Carey continues to prove that reinvention can be as joyful as it is unstoppable.
Dove City
The newest addition to the Magnetic Magazine Recordings family is a really good one.
Dove City, consisting of Josh and Danielle Dupont, debut on our label today with their remix of LAURE’s “Moon Whispers“, and it’s about as good of a debut as you could imagine. Hand drums, hypnotic basslines, and stuttery, eerie synths blend together into one mind-blowing package that you need to hear to believe. It’s exactly what we love to showcase on our label.
Before joining us, they were known for their output on labels like IAMHER, Sum Over Histories, and Golden Wings Music. They state that they have a “deep melodic desire for moody sounds that start an emotive fire”, and you can really feel that description in anything they touch. We’re thrilled to have them on our roster, and cannot wait to see what else they’ve got on the horizon.
Did we miss anyone? Let us know.
