With this track released, we are expecting to see Puth’s name rise through the ranks in the world of music in the months to come.
Talking about the song Puth says “It’s about that moment when you see someone across the room, and how you feel before anything even happens. It’s about the build-up and seeing where it goes. When I’m writing, I’m interested in how something started, how it ended, and everything in between.”

New Year’s Even often has a lot of potential, yet it sometimes feels us feeling a little let down. Parties can be a little bland or perhaps blase – so this year, why not make it a themed one? There are an array of themes which have a touch of both class and elegance, so you don’t have to worry about coming off tacky or crass. Here are a few ideas, and crucially, some tips of what to wear to each event.
All White Clothing
There’s nothing more classic than a party with all-white attire and decor. There’s something beautiful about it, and there are so many incredible choices when it comes to attire. White clothing is often somewhat unforgiving, and so tight styles may not be the best choice unless you are entirely confident. White clothing carries plenty of symbolism and it’s representative of the hopes for a fresh start in the New Year, so make the right fashion choices, and start as you mean to go on.
Whatever the activities are that you plan for this party, remember to be careful with your choices of food and drink. The last thing anyone needs is a red wine stain all over their new dress…
Games of Chance
Is there anything better than a classic casino style party? Black tie compulsory, of course! Ladies, your evening gowns need to come out at this point. While many of the Vegas casinos these days have a much more relaxed attitude to dress codes, because most people there are on vacation, we love the old style of years gone by. People really made an effort, and it was all about glitz and glam. You really can’t go wrong with a maxi dress in black, complete with delicate jewelry. Timeless!
If you want to get your guests really into the casino mood, then you can access a multitude of casino games such as baccarat, blackjack and roulette online. Alternatively, you could set up a casino table at the party space, depending on your budget. Card games are easy to do, but you’ll have to
Through The Decades
As a new year storms full speed ahead, it can be a fun time to look at decades past. There’s plenty of inspiration out there, so whether your party is focused on one decade in particular or a broad range across the board, there are plenty of ways you can “wow” the crowds. If you’re really searching for elegance, a roaring 20s style party a la The Great Gatsby. Here, you can really have some fun. Vintage dresses from this era are just incredible – think fringes and sequins, alongside lavish accessories and necklaces.
When it comes to the atmosphere for this one, it’s all about making sure the music is on-point. Can’t afford a DJ? Thank goodness for Spotify! There’s some really fun music from every period of the last Century, you just have to find the right playlists.
No matter what kind of event you plan to host or attend this New Year’s Eve, just be sure it’s a night to remember – and one you’ll want to remember when you look back on it.
The joint exhibition called ‘Woven’ took place in Paul Bovée Gallery in Delémont, Switzerland in May 2018. Both artists created seven woven blankets each and a limited series of t-shirts and sweaters. The exhibition perfectly depicts how modern illustration can be applied to different objects and how cool art makes something as traditional as woven blankets be viewed through a cool fresh lens.
Elderbrook, the music producer known for tracks such as ‘Cola’ and ‘Talking,’ joined us for an interview to talk about his latest release ‘Old Friend’ and culture.
Hi, How are you?
I’m great thanks! Just came back from a huge European tour supporting Jungle.
So, how did you get into music and when did you realise you wanted to become a musician?
I got into music when I was around 13 or 14. I was watching something stupid on Nickelodeon and there was a guy on there playing guitar. I thought he looked really cool, so I got myself a guitar and turned out I was alright at it. It kind of went from there. I started a band then left. I eventually started doing stuff by myself and began using computers which shaped my music into what it is today.
How did ‘Old Friend’ come about and what were the challenges of making it?
‘Old Friend’ came about when I was in a session with two other musicians that I work really well with. It was at a Shoreditch coffee shop called The Grind which has a studio upstairs. It came together super quickly. It starts off with that nostalgic-sounding bass at the beginning which I absolutely love. It reminds me of the early 2000s era which is a period in music not often greatly explored.
Do you plan to create EPs or do they just come about?
I guess they just come about naturally. It was only a month or two ago that I saw a pattern forming with the music I was writing over the last year. I thought it was best to release these 4 songs together until next year when we’re planning to release the debut album which will be a little bit different.
If you could collaborate with any artist, dead or alive, who would it be and why?
Muddy Waters because I absolutely love his voice and I think I could sample it well.
What are your plans for 2019?
2019 will be album time.
Our final question we ask everyone, what is your definition of culture?
Culture is whatever is going on right now. That’s the only way I could answer that without sounding pretentious!

The Rocket, a Belgian pop-punk band, has presented us with a music video for their latest single ‘Lost At Sea,’ which comes from their upcoming album ‘Another Reason Not To Fear The Sky,’ which is scheduled to be out on the 30th November.
Talking about the single ‘Lost At Sea’ the band said “Lost at Sea might be one of the most personal songs our singer Tom has ever written. Although he’s this great charismatic dude who fills every room with joy, he’s not always great with expressing his feelings and thoughts. When he does so in lyrics like these, it’s always so poignant. He went through a bad breakup when we were writing the album, and Lost at Sea is about coming to terms with his own feelings.
We’re really proud of the clip we did for this one too; we fully directed and edited it ourselves, which was a painstaking process with lots of post-production and effects. For not being a high budget production, we really feel like we were able to stay true to our original concept and idea and the images just complete the song so well. The video shows a kid astronaut getting stuck on a planet without people, which to us seemed like a great metaphor for the loneliness depicted by the lyrics.”

Pete Banning was Clanton’s favourite son, a returning war hero, the patriarch of a prominent family, a farmer, father, neighbour, and a faithful member of the Methodist Church. Then one cool October morning in 1946. he rose early, drove into town, walked into the church, and calmly shot and killed the Reverend Dexter Bell.
As if the murder wasn’t shocking enough, it was even more baffling that Pete’s only statement about it – to the sheriff, to his defense attorney, to the judge, to his family and friends, and to the people of Clanton – was ‘I have nothing to say’.
And so the murder of the esteemed Reverend Bell became the most mysterious and unforgettable crime Ford County had ever known.
