Apple Music is excited to announce Stefflon Don as the new ‘Up Next’ artist for January 2018. The dancehall/rap artist joins the Apple Music ‘Up Next’ class of artists on the heels of her UK Top 10 single “Hurtin’ Me feat. French Montana,” latest single “Ding-A-Ling feat. Skepta” and a feature on Jax Jones & Demi Lovato’s worldwide smash “Instruction.” On January 17th, Apple Music will premiere a new documentary short film, as well as an exclusive sit-down interview with Beats 1 anchor Julie Adenuga. Later tonight, Stefflon Don will also make her U.S. national television debut on The Late Late Show with James Corden.

“Conversations with Steff are always exciting and hilarious. She doesn’t do a lot of interviews, and I learn more about her every time we talk,” said Beats 1 anchor Julie Adenuga. “She’s extremely talented, and has the ability to make any style of music she likes without losing the magic of who she is.”

Stefflon Don adds, “I am really excited to be the new ‘Up Next’ Artist. Julie, Zane, Ebro and everyone at Beats 1 have been there with me from the start, and it’s great to be the first British artist to get this support from Apple Music. Can’t wait for you all to hear what I have coming this year! Its gonna be a mad Ting!”

After closing an already incredible 2017 with an appearance alongside Future and J. Balvin on the remix of MC Fioti’s “Bum Bum Tam Tam” as well as news that her top 10 single “Hurtin’ Me” went gold, Stefflon Don closed out an already exceptional year that saw the breakout star announce her debut headline tour, perform live on Alan Carr’s ‘New Year Spectacular’, BBC’s new ‘Sounds Like Friday Night’, Capital FM’s Jingle Bell Ball and live from the red carpet at the MTV EMA’s. In addition, the East London artist picked up a BRITs Critic’s Choice nomination, a win for Best Female Artist at the 2017 MOBOs and released new single ‘Ding-A-Ling’, which sees her spit her fierce trademark flow alongside grime legend Skepta. Already a fan favourite, the track is quickly adding considerable numbers to her 100m streams-and-counting.

Kilder Unveils Stunning New Music Video for Single “Dusk Till Dawn”

Published

on

There’s something hypnotic about the way Kilder captures motion in his music. With “Dusk Till Dawn,” the Amsterdam-based producer leans into his genre-fluid sensibilities to deliver a track that’s as emotional as it is danceable. It’s the kind of single that transports you instantly — from fluorescent office lighting to the glow of a neon-lit street, from the mundane to the magical.

Sonically, “Dusk Till Dawn” is a lush blend of house, techno, and UK garage – but Kilder doesn’t just mix genres, he moulds them into something uniquely his. Every kick feels purposeful, every synth line like it has its own emotional arc. There’s a warmth to the track that wraps around you, even as the beat pushes forward with that late-night urgency.

The music video adds a deeply human layer to the experience. Following the journey of a man shedding his daytime persona, it’s a powerful metaphor for reclaiming selfhood in a world that often asks us to suppress it. The visuals move seamlessly from drab routines to liberating nightlife, echoing the sonic transformation that happens across the track’s runtime.

Kilder is no stranger to acclaim, and “Dusk Till Dawn” feels like another chapter in what’s becoming a very exciting story. His previous collaborators and co-signs – from Issey Cross to BBC Radio 1 – suggest an artist with both underground credibility and mainstream reach. The Spotify playlist placements and syncs with Apple only reinforce that he’s being heard in all the right places.

What’s most exciting is the promise of what’s to come. With an EP due in July and a growing catalogue of boundary-pushing tracks, Kilder is shaping a space where emotion, rhythm, and storytelling collide. “Dusk Till Dawn” isn’t just a single – it’s a statement of intent, and one that positions Kilder as one of the most compelling names in electronic music right now.
