NOTION ANNOUNCES ‘FORWARDS’ MIXTAPE WITH NEW SINGLE ‘TEMPORARY FRIENDS’ FT. CHARLOTTE PLANK

The mixtape will drop on 30th August, and this heavy hitting collaboration will give a taste of the evolved genre bending sounds of NOTION 

Fresh off his US debut tour and dropping a variety of dancefloor cuts over the past few months, established UK dance music DJ-producer NOTION announces his forthcoming mixtape ‘FORWARDS’ with new single ‘TEMPORARY FRIENDS’ featuring Charlotte Plank.

Finally ready to announce the news, 'FORWARDS' out 30th August is a mixtape that demonstrates NOTION moving 'forwards' with a fresh and evolved sound that was originally rooted in bass and bassline cuts to a matured and versatile sound of garage, house, breaks, jungle and electronica. Announcing the mixtape, ‘TEMPORARY FRIENDS’ is a prime time dance anthem that effortlessly combines Charlotte Planks’s soulful vocals and fiery lyrics with racing drum patterns and club ready drops that will vibrate the deepest corners of the dancefloor.

The Bristol born and bred producer has already been teasing towards this renewed sound with singles across the past few month including ‘BACKBONE’ which saw NOTION experiment with jungle as well as ‘TV DREAMS’, ‘GRAVITY’ and ‘THINK ABOUT U’ that have all pulled elements across house, breaks and garage and have received support and praise so far from Sammy Virji, Conducta, salute, Disclosure and Ewan McVicar.

Constantly shaping his sound, NOTION has continued to rack up millions of streams to his name. Recently, his viral hit ‘Found Love’ reached Silver Certification amassing over 43M streams whilst his first single this year, ‘Was It Enough’ with Eljé, has achieved over 200K plays and support from Jaguar, Charlie Tee, Jeremiah Asiamah and BBC Introducing across BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra plus more.

Having road tested his new music on his debut US tour where he also played on the same lineup as US staple Hamdi, NOTION’s in demand sound will see him return for another exciting run of shows this summer including HARD Summer in Los Angeles. Back on home turf, NOTION’s show schedule continues to grow with fresh dates for Love Saves The Day, Glastonbury, Leeds Festival plus more. The end of last year also saw NOTION take on his AU and NZ tour including Beyond the Valley with over 10K people attending his set, Wildlands, Field Day, and Hidden Lakes.

Meanwhile, his own Dance Dubs project consists of exclusive unreleased tracks across Soundcloud and Bandcamp primed for the dance floor, an eight date sold out UK tour and boat party, with a radio show in the pipeline. His Skepta dub on Soundcloud is causing a stir amongst fans and DJs with over 500K plays, and has allowed NOTION to build a loyal fanbase with over 2K fans signing up to his broadcast community.

Nailing multiple genres effortlessly as he gears up for ‘FORWARDS’, his biggest release to date, NOTION is on track for his most successful year yet.
