London-based, DJ, producer and songwriter, Movada returns to Perfect Havoc with ‘Level Up’, a fun, bouncy house tune in the unique style that made his last single ‘Bananza (Belly Dancer)’ a TikTok viral hit. The breakout talent, who has just signed to Perfect Havoc management, is on a role with all ears pricked in wait of what will come out of the Movada studio next.
AKA Noel Wayne / Ekko City, Movada is a bona fide one to watch following his thumping tech house re-imagination of Akon’s 2005 hit ‘Bananza (Belly Dancer)’. With current views of around 27M on TikTok, its success is testament to Movada’s ingenious composition skills.
The young artist only arrived in 2020 with his debut single ‘Stay’ on TYM Recordings and having clocked approximately 5M streams since, it’s fair to say Movada has made quite an impression since the get-go.
Movada went onto to lend his skills co-writing and producing for the likes of Matoma and The Vamps. While his debut track on Perfect Havoc in 2021, ‘High Off Me’ with California-based electronic producer, Mahalo, streamed over 5million times and received strong support from Apple Music across such popular playlists as Dance Pop Hits, DanceXL and Future Dance Hits.
An astute remixer too, Movada has re-rubbed for the likes of MØ and Martin Solveig and The Him and Kodaline.
On ‘Level Up’, Movada is on fine form. A contemporary 4×4 beat with hip house vibes drives the track home alongside an on-point vocal with quirky percussion throughout.
It’s another solid release for Perfect Havoc, shortlisted for Best Independent Record Label at the 2022 Music Week Awards. The label’s output 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 over the coming months with cuts from Freejak, PS1, Kokiri and more.
