Italian-born, Miami-raised urban pop star Dici shares his newest single ‘Champagne Showers’ today — the first release of the year after a pentalogy of singles in 2022 is scheduled for February 17th via his own record label DICI Records. Making it the latest addition to an arsenal of melodic hip-hop anthems that have accumulated over 2 Million Spotify streams in 100 countries and more than 4 Million views on his professionally directed and produced videos on YouTube.

‘Champagne Showers’ is an infectious pop-rap caviar — elegant drum rhythms and vibrant, glossy synths roll through the entire single creating a graceful foundation for Dici to let his unbound melodic flow build upon this musical delicacy. Hip-hop flourishes and lo-fi elements create the essence of this latest single. We see Dici continue showing off his refined rap verses but also focus on bolder, more melodic pop production. Dici is an artist that works diligently on developing his creative aesthetic, ever-maturing an insightful narrative flow, composition and production skills.

Dici has evolved from a quarantined 17-year-old, free-styling rhymes and mastering the Pro Tools rig in his bedroom to an emerging rap star with thousands of worldwide followers, a popular critically acclaimed indie EP on his own label. Dici’s influences can be heard so clearly as he matches his quality with the likes of Denzel Curry, Action Bronson, Mayhem Lauren, and Kenny Beats.

On previous releases, such as ‘305-INTERLUDE’, ‘Bar for Bar’, and ‘Vector’, Dici has worked with Associated Press and Emmy-winning director and cinematographer Brian Bayerl of Greendoor East Productions. Proficient at blending powerhouse beats and a soulful, melodic, sometimes hypnotic synth-generated flow, Dici is a name to watch out for before he blows up.

Waz-u drops ambient gem ‘Vermillion’ ft. Lilyg

London-based multi-instrumentalist and producer Waz-u returns with his second album, Preludes: Dusk Psalms, set for release on 16 May 2025 via independent label Biodiversity. The 15-track record further refines the artistic depth of his debut, blending electronic textures and classical compositional techniques in an intricate, immersive listening experience.

Ahead of the album release, Waz-u is dropping an exclusive vocal version of ‘Vermillion: G Major’ from the album, accompanied by its original instrumental version. ‘Vermillion’ with Lilyg will be released on 18 April 2025, evoking intimate indie-folk and pop and follows the release of a vocal version of ‘Lament’ with Tom Norrington. ‘The singles are a way to give a voice to the atmosphere of the record and to lyrically encapsulate some of the themes explored,’ explains Waz-u. ‘Lily and Tom are good friends of mine and have both been listening to early iterations of these preludes – it felt right to involve them directly on this record.’

‘Preludes: Dusk Psalms’ marks a new branch of Waz-u’s emerging sound, guided by the duality of tradition and innovation. Combining his musical roots in early ‘90s dub techno and classical music, the album weaves carefully layered synthesizers and electronics to evoke the ambience of sacred music — from the gentle timbres of a choir or an organ to the quiet, open, and reverberating spaces of a church. Also featured throughout the album is experimental musician G9 LUV, who creates textures and drones by bowing his bass guitar, resulting in cello-like sounds. The release follows Waz-u’s 2024 debut LP, Prayer For Dawn, which merged dub, techno, and electronica in an exploration of the ritualistic traditions associated with both organized religion and dance.

Bringing the album’s themes to life, Waz-u will celebrate the release of Preludes: Dusk Psalms with a special performance at Our Holy Redeemer in Clerkenwell, London on 14 May 2025. Set against the church’s resonant acoustics, the event will feature live performance arrangements, including a choir, with further details to be announced soon.
