Jay Productions And Mars Unveil Epic Banger “5 to 9” From New EP

Rising UK musicians Jay Productions and Mars have teamed up for their brand-new EP, BIPOLAR, which is led by new single “5 to 9”. The single arrives with accompanying visuals directed by 1Time Productions and hosted on GRM Daily.

British rapper/songwriter Mars and producer/singer/songwriter Jay Productions have already had plenty of early success so far – their previous collaboration “Made It” was supported across UK radio and also featured on US rapper The Game’s mixtape End Games Vol. 3. Having been heavily supported by the likes of BBC Asian Network and BBC Radio 1, Jay Productions is quickly making a name for himself in the UK and international music scene. Another collaborative effort with Mars in 2021 (“We Ain’t The Same”) alongside Sukhraj and Ello S has already racked up hundreds of thousands of streams.

The two London-based talents are set to achieve even greater levels of success with the release of “5 to 9”, the lead single from BIPOLAR. The track speaks about their dedication and work ethic, which will surely be a fuel for inspiration and motivation among listeners. Elaborating further, Jay Productions says, “‘5 to 9’ is about achieving your goals no matter what it takes. It’s a spin off the word 9am-5pm as that’s the normal working hours but being an artist/producer, hours can be 5am-9pm sometimes. It’s a play on the words but at the same time it shows the truth behind constantly striving to work and reach our dreams.”

BIPOLAR features six tracks in total that span UK hip-hop, rap and drill and highlight their huge talents – from their clever punchlines, great penmanship and hard-hitting rap flows to Jay Productions’ versatile and dynamic productions. It’s clear they are both forces to be reckoned with and will be ones to watch out for in the UK scene and beyond over the next year as they continue to build on their growing momentum. “5 to 9” and the rest of BIPOLAR are available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/marsandjayproductions/bipolar.

“Empatia” by Aurien & Jab Vix set the tone for an atmospheric new era

“Empatia,“ the stunning electronic debut of Aurien, in collaboration with Jab Vix, is the start of a new creative universe under Aurien’s newly launched imprint Château Bonheur Musique. The track feels like a doorway into a curated emotional space, built from atmosphere, storytelling, and immersive sound design.

“Empatia” is founded upon a contemporary electronic aesthetics that favors texture. The production is sleek and considered, offering up soft rhythmic pulses within roomy layers that breathe. Working with Jab Vix gives texture and dynamics to Aurien’s perspective and sets the sound for the song. It’s more about feeling the music than looking for peaks of high energy. It builds slowly and invites you to sit in the mood.

A highlight is the “Elegant Mix,” which takes the original and gives it a more subdued, slicker makeover. It allows the heart of the composition to come through more intimately, and this duality reinforces the idea behind Château Bonheur Musique as environment, experience, and feeling. “Empatia” is a debut statement and manifesto for the immersive, emotionally intelligent electronic music that works as effortlessly as it does in shared spaces. It’s a thoughtful direction for Aurien, where sound is not just heard, but lived in.
