SupaEarth Records gets 'Extra High' with Ruff Diamond, TAZ, and Wanja Janeva

Manchester, UK, 7th December 2018

Manchester, UK based record label SupaEarth Records let off their latest release today – SUPA003 - ‘Extra High’. ‘Extra High’ is a collaboration between UK based DJ / Producer Ruff Diamond, Glitterbox Recordings signed artist TAZ, and the aspiring, and much-loved Berlin artist- Wanja Janeva.
A seriously funk heavy 120 BPM Disco track, the story behind this record is an interesting one. Earlier this year, TAZ was perched at the top of the Traxsource Chart feat alongside Inaya Day on the legendary Mousse T’s outstanding record ‘Rock The Mic’ (Glitterbox Recordings / Defected Records), a track that you now hear constantly played out literally everywhere. Having both been prominent figures in the UK urban scene of the 2000s, TAZ (who has previously won a coveted Ivor Novello Award, for his work with Dizzee Rascal) notices the support Ruff Diamond (SupaEarth label boss, and multi-million selling producer) is showing for ‘Rock The Mic’ and re-connects -‘bro you’re making Disco records, let’s get in the studio..’ and ‘Extra High’ was born. Combining with the talents of Wanja Janeva, the three came together and smashed out the track during an overnight session in a South London studio.

Ruff Diamond’s production talents shine through here, delivering a modern Disco record on full Funk overload. The groove will have you hooked instantly, lavishly laced with Quincy Jones-esque percussion and Larry Levan-esque cosmics, making you feel ohh soo good. Topped off with punchy horns, funk rhythm guitars and Moog monosynth solo, this jam will have the party people squelching with delight.
Described by Ruff Diamond as having ‘the Janis Joplins’ and ‘the Teena Maries’, Wanja Janeva blesses ‘Extra High’ with her undeniably moving and soulful vocal abilities. Her energy and delivery is sheer beauty on the ear, sitting perfectly in tandem with a stellar performance from TAZ, who is super on point with a fun filled rap of typical TAZ party rocking qualities.

With heavy DJ support already from the likes of Horsemeat Disco, Andi Durrant (Kiss FM), Alkalino, Fingerman, Rayko, Disco Daze, 80s Child, Edit Presents, Lost In Music MCR, and many more, this one is sure to shake up dancefloors worldwide.
‘Extra High’ is now available exclusively on Traxsource, Spotify, and Apple Music, followed by worldwide release on all major digital stores and streaming platforms from December 21st 2018.
