Parx joins forces with breakout star Aya Anne on new single
Chart-topping indie label, Perfect Havoc is thrilled to have label alumni and house music producer, Parx and PH management artist and breaking vocalist, Aya Anne come together on the brand new single ‘Touch’. A pop-tinged late-night club track, ‘Touch’ has Parx’s signature piano and deep kick production that makes for a massive sonic exhibition, especially when highlighted with the chocolate-like vocals from Aya Anne. It’s out now and can be streamed here.
2017 was the year Alex Cramp aka Parx burst on to the scene with the release of Waiting on You on The Magician’s Potion imprint which was also debuted by Danny Howard on BBC Radio 1. The follow up, Sunrise, was a collaboration with Kattison and has since reached over 4.1 million streams on Spotify alone. Parx had arrived.
Over the next few years, Parx went on to release a slew of heavily supported singles. These included Fantasy on TMTR, featuring the vocal talents of close friend and co-conspirator Adam Engle from Blonde. Then Bang, a collaboration with TCTS on Ministry of Sound which gained radio support from Danny Howard and Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1.
Parx joined the Perfect Havoc family in 2019 with his cover of the well-known CeCe Peniston classic Finally. This was also a hit, generating over 2 million streams on Spotify and saw support from Charlie Hedges on BBC Radio 1 Dance Anthems along with daytime playlist support on KISS FM and KISS Dance. Then to original material, the emotive Oh My showcased a more sensitive side to his sound, showing just how versatile this young artist is.
The multi-million streaming tracks have continued to evolve from the Parx studio with the Parlophone/FFRR released Feel Right Now (feat. Nono), Self Certified by Mistajam on BBC Radio 1 Dance Anthems and racked up 12 million streams.
Remix wise, Parx is in demand, with his remixes for Alan Walker, Mason and Tobtok & Oliver Nelson amongst others building him up to be one of the go-to remixers of the UK House Scene.
An extraordinarily varied singer, Aya Anne is providing herself an in-demand singer-songwriter, working with such talented producers as Pink Panda, Simon Field, James Hurr, Kokiri and more. As glamourous as she is hardworking, Aya has achieved more than 2 million streams on her tracks and has more up her sleeve with new solo releases and revealing her skills as a talented DJ. Watch his space.
Together on ‘Touch’, Parx and Aya Anne deliver a commercially tinged dancefloor-ready track. The off-key piano stabs give the track a pounding energy juxtaposed with an ethereal breakdown as Aya’s soothing lyrics about craving human connection are entwined, drawing the listener in even further.
‘Touch’ is another solid release for Perfect Havoc. Shortlisted for Best Independent Record Label at the 2022 Music Week Awards, Perfect Havoc’s niche of commercial dance with a smattering of the more club-focused sounds has given rise to six UK Top 20 singles including the No.1 single ‘Head & Heart’ by Joel Corry & MNEK.
Now having generated over 5 billion streams, Perfect Havoc is one of the most consistently successful indies in recent years. Keep an ear out for more releases for the rest of 2022 with cuts from Freejak, PS1, Movada and more.
