Message from the Pokémon Masters EX Team (Vol. 24)

Greetings, Trainers. We’re the producers of Pokémon Masters EX, Yu Sasaki and Tetsuya Iguchi, here with a new message for you. Today, we’ll focus on details about the two-year anniversary update and share info about the new Main Story arc.

App Update for Late August

Rewards from the Regular Log-In Bonus Get Even Better
To mark the game’s two-year anniversary and show our appreciation for your support, we’ve made the rewards that you can get from the regular log-in bonus even better. The change will take effect on September 1, 2021. We hope you’ll find these rewards useful on your adventures.

Zero Stamina Consumption for the Evolution Material Area and Sync Orb Area
After taking into consideration your feedback and the current state of the game, we have made changes so that playing the Evolution Material Area and Sync Orb Area consumes no Stamina.

We hope that this allows even more players to have an easier time playing the game while evolving Pokémon and powering up Sync Grids.

Level Cap Increased to Lv. 140
A new battle has been added to the Cap-Unlock Area, and Sync Pairs’ level caps have increased to Lv. 140. Once you power up your Sync Pairs even more, try taking on battles that you weren’t able to complete before.

The Two-Year Anniversary of Pokémon Masters EX Is Almost Here!

Pokémon Masters EX is about to welcome its two-year anniversary! We’re incredibly grateful for your support.

We’re going to keep working hard to provide you with even more exciting experiences, so we hope you look forward to what’s to come.

Next, we’d like to share specific details about the two-year anniversary and the new main story arc that will unfold after the anniversary.

10-Pair Ticket Scout Under Way! Max 100 Pairs!

First, here are details about the 10-Pair Ticket Scout, which is currently under way.

You can get one Ticket for this scout each day by logging in while the scout is available, for a total of up to 10 Tickets. One Ticket lets you scout 10 sync pairs from the 10-Pair Ticket Scout.

By getting all 10 Tickets, you can scout up to 100 sync pairs at no cost, so be sure to log in every day!

You Can Get Over 10000 Gems Total!

To celebrate the two-year anniversary, we’re going to hold multiple Rallies from which you can get over 10000 Gems! Have a look below for details about the Rallies that we have planned.


Gem Present
We’re going to send a present of 3000 Gems to all players on August 27, 2021, so don’t forget to check your Present Box on that day.

Special Log-In Bonus
A special two-year anniversary log-in bonus is coming on August 27, 2021. You can get over 3000 Gems from this bonus, so be sure to log in every day.

Daily Battle Present Event
The Daily Battle Present Event will begin on August 27, 2021.

By completing daily battles, you can get Gems, 5★-Guaranteed Scout Tickets, Battle Points, and other rewards. Each battle can only be challenged once per day.

Plus, on the first, fifth, tenth, and fifteenth days of the event, special battles will be added, from which you can get even more incredible rewards. If you complete every battle during the event, you’ll get 5000 or more gems. These battles will be easy to complete, so we hope you try taking them on every day.

Three Master Sync Pairs to Celebrate the Two-Year Anniversary!

Starting August 27, 2021, Lillie, N, and Steven will appear in Sync Pair Scouts on separate days, each wearing a special outfit to commemorate the two-year anniversary. Also beginning August 27, 2021, they’ll star in the Story Event: Hearts United. As Sync Pairs, they’ll be very powerful, so let’s take a look at some of their capabilities.

Lillie (Anniversary 2021) & Lunala

Lillie (Anniversary 2021) & Lunala are a Ghost-type Master Sync Pair from the Alola region.

Their Shining Moonlight! move raises their Sp. Atk by six stat ranks and their critical-hit rate by three stat ranks, making them capable of using moves like Moongeist Beam to deal major damage right from the outset of battle.

They can also use Potion, and they have Passive Skills that reduce damage under certain conditions, making them an easy-to-use strike sync pair that excels at both offense and defense.

N (Anniversary 2021) & Reshiram

N (Anniversary 2021) & Reshiram are a tech Master Sync Pair from the Unova region.

They have a Passive Skill called Extend Range that can cause Reshiram’s Blue Flare and Noble Roar moves to hit all opponents without sacrificing those moves’ power.

Also, they have a Passive Skill that will always lower the opponent’s Sp. Def when successfully attacking with a move, so they can weaken opponents with Noble Roar and then follow up with Blue Flare.

Steven (Anniversary 2021) & Rayquaza

Steven (Anniversary 2021) & Rayquaza are a Master Sync Pair from the Hoenn region.

Normally their stats would get lowered when attacking with their Dragon Ascent or Draco Meteor moves, but thanks to their Downside Up Passive Skill, those stats will get raised instead.

On top of that, they have a Passive Skill that powers up moves based on how much their stats have been raised, making them a strike sync pair that gets stronger the more they attack with moves.

After the sync pair uses their Sync Move, Rayquaza will become Mega Rayquaza, increasing its stats even more. Also, Steven’s Rayquaza is a Shiny Rayquaza, so we hope you look forward to seeing it.

Plus, starting August 31, 2021, these three Sync Pair will be featured in an Extreme Battle Event.

Team Up with Misty (Swimsuit) & Psyduck!

A Special Sync Pair Event starring Misty & Psyduck will begin on August 27, 2021. In this event, you can team up with Misty in a special outfit.

You can add Misty (Swimsuit) & Psyduck to your team just by watching the event’s story. They’re a versatile Sync Pair that can use Potion and Full Heal, making them a great choice for beginners.


Plus, by advancing in the event and collecting rewards, you can exchange for items that increase Misty (Swimsuit) & Psyduck’s move level and potential, so we hope you give them a try.

A Special Sync Pair Scout to Commemorate the Two-Year Anniversary

On August 27, 2021, the special 5★-Select Poké Fair Scout ×11 will begin. This one-time-only scout has multiple Fair-Exclusive Sync Pairs and allows you to make a selection of one Sync Pair from those included in the scout.


Also, on September 2, 2021 and September 9, 2021, respectively, two Super Spotlight Scouts will begin, featuring various seasonal Sync Pairs. The lineups for the scouts will be different, so we hope you look forward to seeing which Sync Pairs will appear.

Two-Year Anniversary Rerun Event

Beginning September 2, 2021, various story events will start returning. These events will return in a special format, which includes adjustments to the battles and other aspects of each event so that you can enjoy their stories without using Stamina.

We think that those of you who have been playing since the game’s launch will find the lineup of returning events quite nostalgic, so we hope you enjoy them.

The Villain Arc of the Main Story Begins!

Finally, we’ll share some info about the new Main Story arc that will begin after the PML story arc concludes.

The new Main Story arc is titled the “Villain Arc.” It’s a more serious story that focuses on the different Villains that have appeared throughout the Pokémon series, and now their trouble is coming to Pasio.


It takes place after the PML arc is finished, but you can begin the Villain Arc even if you haven’t finished the PML arc—and enjoy both stories regardless which one you start with.

In case you’re wondering about the future of a certain character after the PML arc, we’re planning to show you what happened with that character as well, so stay tuned.

The Villain Arc is scheduled to begin with a prelude in mid-September and an update in late September, so please wait just a little longer.

In addition, the development team is working hard on planning and developing various improvements and new features for after the two-year anniversary, so we hope you continue to enjoy Pokémon Masters EX!

What to Expect in the Next Message

Our next message is scheduled for late September. In it, we plan to share more detailed information about the Villain Arc and discuss new story events.

We’re always working hard to deliver updates and improvements that make the world of Pokémon Masters EX as fun as possible.

We prioritize Trainers’ feedback throughout the development process, so don’t hesitate to let us know what you think.

Until next time, thank you for playing Pokémon Masters EX.

The Pokémon Company International announced that French artist Louane's song Game Girl drops on Friday, August 27th, 2021 and that it was recorded exclusively for the upcoming P25 Music compilation album.

LOUANE DEBUTS NEW SONG AND VIDEO – “GAME GIRL” – IN COLLABORATION WITH POKÉMON TO BE RELEASED ON AUGUST 27

Track Is Featured on ‘Pokémon 25: The Album’ Compilation, Set For Autumn 2021 Release on Capitol Records

Louane Joins P25 Music Lineup Alongside Katy Perry, Post Malone, J Balvin, Mabel, and More To Be Announced

Pokémon’s 25th anniversary celebration continues with the upcoming release of “Game Girl,” a new song from Island Def Jam recording artist Louane, who recorded it exclusively for the upcoming P25 Music compilation album. With its fun and infectious melody, the bilingual song describes the journey we all take through life with a friend or a partner as we figure out what’s right for us and how to be the best version of ourselves. It was written by Louane for the occasion, composed and produced by P3gase and mixed by Josh Gudwin.

The vibrant official video for “Game Girl” shows Louane surrounded by larger-than-life colors and backdrops meant to transport the viewer into her over-the-top imagination influenced by the ever-evolving world of Pokémon.

“Louane is an exciting addition to the growing roster of talented artists from around the world helping us celebrate 25 years of Pokémon,” said Colin Palmer, vice president of marketing, The Pokémon Company International. “‘Game Girl,’ with its French and English lyrics, is not only an amazing pop anthem for Pokémon Trainers, but also represents the global resonance of Pokémon with international fans.”

“Pokémon was one of my earliest childhood memories! I fell in love with Ash at first sight!” said Louane. “I didn’t hesitate at all when asked to join the P25 Music Program. It was really inspiring to have the opportunity to write a story based on what I experienced as a kid.”

Louane is the most recent artist to join the P25 Music Program alongside UK singer, Mabel, and American artists Vince Staples and Cyn—all of whom released original tracks earlier this month for Pokémon 25: The Red EP. EDM artist ZHU remixed those tracks for Pokémon 25: The Blue EP. The program also includes, Katy Perry, who contributed her original song, “Electric,” Post Malone, who put his own stamp on the Hootie & the Blowfish hit “Only Wanna Be With You” and J Balvin.

POKÉMON REVEALS MORE DETAILS FOR POKÉMON BRILLIANT DIAMOND, POKÉMON SHINING PEARL, AND POKÉMON LEGENDS: ARCEUS ​​​​​​

Mobile Launch Date for Pokémon UNITE and In-Game Events for Apps Also Unveiled

Today, during a Pokémon Presents video presentation, new details were revealed for Pokémon Brilliant Diamond, Pokémon Shining Pearl, and Pokémon Legends: Arceus—new video games coming exclusively to the Nintendo Switch™ system. Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearl will launch November 19, 2021, and Pokémon Legends: Arceus will launch January 28, 2022.

The revamp of the Pokémon Café Mix game into Pokémon Café ReMix, complete with new gameplay elements, more Pokémon, and new customization options, was also revealed.

Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearl

The Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearl games enable fans to experience the original story and game features from Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl in a fresh way. First released in 2006, the original games have been faithfully reproduced and colorfully revitalized for Nintendo Switch. High resolution artwork and screenshots from the press release have been added to the Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearls Imageboard thread.


Defeat Gym Leaders to receive Gym Badges as proof of your victories. Collect all eight Gym Badges to compete in the Pokémon League, where the highest-level Trainers—the Elite Four and the Champion—await. Win your way through the Pokémon League to earn the title given to only the strongest Pokémon Trainer: Champion!

Characters

Professor Rowan: A famous professor in the field of Pokémon Evolution. He entrusts you with a Pokémon and asks you to help complete the Pokédex.
Your Rival: Your childhood friend. He sets off on his journey at the same time as you and hones his skills as a Pokémon Trainer through your friendly rivalry.
Cynthia: A mysterious person who shows up at many points along your journey. She’s investigating myths about Pokémon.
Team Galactic: Team Galactic is a group active all over the Sinnoh region. Dressed in their uniforms, they make trouble for you at every turn, attempting to interfere with your adventure.
Dawn/Lucas: Professor Rowan’s assistant. A reliable friend who’ll help you out at every stage of your journey to complete your Pokédex. Whether Dawn or Lucas appears as Professor Rowan’s assistant depends on the appearance of the protagonist that you choose at the beginning of the game.

New details revealed:
Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearl will bring Trainers back to the Sinnoh region, where they will meet Professor Rowan, battle against Team Galactic, and explore the Grand Underground. The Sinnoh region’s popular Pokémon Super Contests return as Super Contest Shows, and players can socialize with other Trainers from around the world in the Union Room. Trainers will also be able to personalize their gameplay experience by using Capsule Decoration. Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearl will be compatible with Pokémon HOME in 2022.

Have a blast in the Grand Underground

The Underground from Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl has been powered up for these games, and is now called the Grand Underground. The Grand Underground is a vast subterranean world that spreads out like a maze beneath the entire Sinnoh region.

Use the Explorer Kit you’ll receive during your adventure to visit the Grand Underground, where you can participate in activities such as digging up valuable treasures and Pokémon Fossils, or creating your own Secret Base. You can also visit places called Pokémon Hideaways, where you can find Pokémon that live in a variety of different environments.

Pokémon Hideaways come with a variety of different terrains ranging from still-water caverns to volcanic landscapes, with different Pokémon living in each type of environment. Among the Pokémon that inhabit the Sinnoh region, there are some Pokémon that can only be found in these Pokémon Hideaways.


Some of the walls in the Grand Underground can be dug into, using a sledgehammer and a pickax. By digging into them, you can find things like useful items for your adventure and valuable Pokémon Fossils, as well as new Pokémon statues that have been added to these games.

Build your very own Secret Base and decorate it with Pokémon statues!

You can use an item called the Digger Drill in the Grand Underground to build yourself a Secret Base within the walls. Pokémon statues that you can find while Fossil digging can be placed wherever you like inside your Secret Base, so you can customize your own space!

Adventure together with Trainers all over the world in the Grand Underground!

You can interact with Trainers all over the world through your Nintendo Switch system’s local communication or online communication. As well as adventuring together in the Grand Underground, you can also dig for Fossils together with other Trainers.

Work up the crowd to put on a successful Super Contest Show!

Super Contest Shows are popular performances in Sinnoh, each put on by four performers and their Pokémon, who work together to show off their performance skills. During the show, you can dress up in your favorite outfit, and your Pokémon will dance, making for an altogether different experience from their usual battles of strength.

Up to four people can participate together, so you can show off your best performance with your friends to really wow the crowd!

Super Contest Show Categories
Super Contest Shows are divided into five categories—Coolness, Cuteness, Beauty, Toughness, and Cleverness. Within each category, there are several ranks: Normal, Great, Ultra, and Master Rank.


Super Contest Shows Evaluations
Super Contest Shows are judged based on a Visual Evaluation, a Dance Evaluation, and a Move Evaluation. You can receive Hype Points based on your evaluations, and if the combined total of all four performers’ Hype Points reaches a target score, the show will be declared a success.


Visual Evaluation
This evaluation is based on Pokémon’s conditions, such as Coolness or Beauty, as well as the effects of their Capsule Decoration.

Use Capsule Decoration to create effects according to your taste!

Using Capsule Decoration, you can place Stickers to customize the effects that appear when your Pokémon comes out of its Poké Ball for battles or Super Contest Shows. With over 90 different Stickers, you can customize your Ball Capsules with effects like fluttering flower petals or raging flames.

You can buy Stickers in shops, but you can also get them in other ways, such as by defeating Gym Leaders or completing successful Super Contest Shows.


You can place up to 20 Stickers on a Ball Capsule, so it’s possible to customize the Ball Capsule with some really varied combinations. Ball Capsules can be edited in the casual 2D style of Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl, or in 3D if you’d rather get really detailed with your customizations.

Walk around with your favorite Pokémon!

Once you’ve progressed in the game to a certain point, you can choose just one Pokémon that you’ve befriended at a time to walk along behind you. Any Pokémon that appears in these games can walk with you, so choose your favorite to travel with you through the Sinnoh region as you visit lots of places and make memories together.

Interact with Trainers all over the world in the Union Room!

The Union Room is a facility where you can enjoy battling and trading Pokémon with other Trainers through your Nintendo Switch system’s local communication or online communication.


Local Room
In the Local Room, nearby Trainers can gather using local communication to enjoy trades, battles, and other activities.

Global Room
Trainers around the world can use online communication to gather in a single room for Pokémon trades, battles, and other activities.

Adventure in style, wearing your favorite outfits!

You’ll be able to buy and change outfits at Metronome Style Shop in Veilstone City.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus

Pokémon Legends: Arceus takes Trainers on an adventure through the Sinnoh region of the past—before it was even called Sinnoh. Many years ago, the land was called the Hisui region, and it was rare for humans and Pokémon to live in close harmony. High resolution artwork and screenshots from the press release have been added to the Pokémon Legends: Arceus Imageboard thread.

New gameplay details and Pokémon revealed:
As a member of the Galaxy Expedition Team, players will visit Jubilife Village, a bustling settlement that serves as a base of operations. After receiving an assignment or a request, Trainers will set out from the village to study one of the various areas of the Hisui region. After they finish their survey work, Trainers return to Jubilife Village to prepare for their next task. Whenever Trainers leave Jubilife Village to set out on an excursion, their first stop will be one of the base camps that will serve as an outpost for their work. These base camps are more than just starting points—Trainers can stop for a rest during an excursion, letting their team of Pokémon recover their health, or use a base camp’s workbench to craft items.


As Trainers progress toward completing the Pokédex and increase in rank as a member of the Galaxy Team, they will meet interesting characters and encounter unique Pokémon living in the Hisui region.


Wyrdeer
Category: Big Horn Pokémon
Height: 5′11″
Weight: 209.7 lbs.
Type: Normal/Psychic

In the Hisui region, Stantler can evolve into Wyrdeer. Using the black orbs at the bases of its antlers, this Pokémon generates and unleashes psychic energy powerful enough to distort space.

Weight: 242.5 lbs.
Type: Water/Ghost

Basculin in the Hisui region evolve into Basculegion when they are possessed by the souls of other Basculin from their school that could not withstand the harsh journey upstream. Their propulsive power is bolstered by the souls possessing them, letting them swim without tiring.

Category: Battle Cry Pokémon
Height: 5′7″
Weight: 95.7 lbs.
Type: Psychic/Flying

When Rufflet in the Hisui region evolve, they become Hisuian Braviary. Hisuian Braviary can imbue its eerie screeches with psychic power to generate powerful shock waves. It can also use its psychic power to sharpen its sixth sense, entering a trance that boosts its physical abilities.


Hisuian Growlithe
Category: Scout Pokémon
Height: 2′7″
Weight: 50 lbs.
Type: Fire/Rock

This is Growlithe as it appears in the Hisui region. Hisuian Growlithe has longer, more voluminous fur than the previously discovered form of Growlithe. Highly vigilant, they tend to be seen watching over their territory in pairs.

Niantic has announced they have commissioned a Lyrical Version for Pokémon GO’s Night Theme which was produced by English dub musician Ed Goldfarb with vocals featuring Haven Paschall and Ben Dixon.

Celebrate adventuring by starlight with the lyrical version of Pokémon GO’s Night Theme!

Trainers, Have you had a chance to listen to the lyrical version of Pokémon GO’s Night Theme? This song has been playing in the game every night since Pokémon GO Fest 2021 ended!

The original song was created by Junichi Masuda, composer of many of Pokémon’s iconic video game songs, and the lyrical version was produced by Ed Goldfarb, composer of some music recently featured in the Pokémon anime series. The lyrical version features the vocals of Haven Paschall and Ben Dixon, who’ve previously lent their voices to the Pokémon anime series.

The song will play in the game during the night until Wednesday, September 1, 2021, at 10:00 a.m. local time, so make sure to turn up the game’s volume to experience it firsthand. After the song leaves the game, you can listen to it via the YouTube video here.

Lyrics

We can share the beauty of the world tonight
Stars up in the sky will light the way
Every place we wander
Wonders will amaze us
See the mountains shimmer in the moonlit sky
Maybe they will show us where to GO

Rhythms of the ocean waves tell me my dream is real
You and I tonight will see our worlds align
The stars alight and with their light to guide me I know I will find you
So we can GO and make a brighter world
We can GO and make a brighter world

Credits

Composed by Junichi Masuda English lyrics by Ed Goldfarb
Vocals by Haven Paschall and Ben Dixon Produced by Ed Goldfarb
Production assistance by Alvin Maningding and Andrew Crilly
Mixed by Jeff Stuart Saltzman

We hope that this song’s lyrics will inspire you to keep GOing just as much as the past five years have inspired us. Be sure to turn up the volume in Pokémon GO when playing after the sun has set so you don’t miss out on hearing this tune before Wednesday, September 1, 2021, at 10:00 a.m. local time.

Please be aware of your surroundings and follow guidelines from local health authorities when playing Pokémon GO. Upcoming events are subject to change.

Universal Music Group and The Pokémon Company have announced three new artists have joined Pokémon’s 25th album: Vince Staples, Cyn and ZHU. Details of the Pokémon 25: The Red EP have been added to our Audio Database and details of the Pokémon 25: The Blue EP will be updated on August 20th, 2021. High resolution images from the press release have been added to an Imageboard thread.

Pokémon 25: The Red EP – FEATURING SONGS BY VINCE STAPLES, CYN and MABEL – OUT TODAY

ZHU Remixes All Three Tracks For Pokémon 25: The Blue EP, Out Later This Month
The Dual Releases Honor a Pokémon Tradition As 25th Anniversary Celebration Continues

Three new artists have joined Pokémon’s 25th anniversary celebration: Vince Staples, Cyn and ZHU. Staples and Cyn contribute exclusive new songs to Pokémon 25: The Red EP, which was released today. Available HERE, the EP also features Mabel’s song “Take It Home,” which was unveiled last month. View Pokémon 25: The Red EP visualizers on YouTube HERE.

Reflecting the longstanding tradition of dual releases for the core Pokémon video game series, with each featuring nuanced differences from the other, and paying homage to the original Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue video games, Pokémon 25: The Blue EP will follow later this month. It will feature remixes of The Red EP songs by GRAMMY-nominated recording artist ZHU, who is fresh off the release of his third album, DREAMLAND 2021, and a sold-out, six-night stand at Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre.

The songs from The Red EP will appear on the upcoming P25 Music compilation album, which will be released this autumn by Capitol Records as part of a massive, yearlong music campaign from The Pokémon Company International in partnership with Universal Music Group. ZHU’s remixes will be included on the digital edition of the album. Vince Staples, Cyn and ZHU take their places alongside fellow P25 artists Katy Perry, Post Malone, J Balvin, and Mabel.

On the atmospheric, melodic “Got ‘Em,” Vince Staples faces life’s challenges head-on, drawing inspiration from iconic Pokémon characters Mew and Raichu. Staples recently released his self-titled, fourth album out now via Blacksmith Recordings/Motown Records. Garnering positive reviews from Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, NPR Music and NME among others, the LP debuted as the No. 1 Current Rap Album and landed at No. 21 on the Billboard 200 Chart week of release. Staples is also currently working on bringing his dramedy, The Vince Staples Show, to Netflix.

“I’ve always been a fan of Pokémon, so it was particularly special to be asked to take part in this 25th anniversary celebration," said Vince Staples. “I’m excited for people to hear ‘Got 'Em,’ and hope the song resonates with fans, especially those who grew up with Pokémon like I did.”

Cyn – who is signed to Katy Perry’s Unsub Records and recently contributed two songs to the soundtrack for the Oscar-winning film Promising Young Woman – offers up “Wonderful,” a shimmering song that celebrates friendship and the joy of being alive.

Cyn shares, “I am so excited to release one of my favorite songs I’ve ever written, ‘Wonderful,’ in celebration of 25 years of Pokémon! This song is special to me because I feel it comments on growing pains while also emphasizing a destination of grace and a beautiful journey to it— eggs hatch when they want to or in other words, when they are ready. When I wrote this song, my newborn baby son was in the room— I can hear the influence of becoming a new mother in the music, it will always ring special for me.”

“The Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue video games introduced the world to Pokémon 25 years ago and we wanted to recognize that important part of the franchise in our 25th anniversary celebrations within the P25 Music campaign,” said Colin Palmer, vice president of marketing, The Pokémon Company International. “Pokémon fans will appreciate the nod to the first Pokémon video games with these EPs, while music fans will enjoy new songs and remixes from exciting artists on these dual collections.”

The Red EP kicks off with “Take It Home,” an original song from BRIT Award recipient Mabel. PAPER Magazine noted, “to say it’s a bop would be a complete understatement…‘Take It Home’ is packed with bright and buoyant beats.” The official video, People Magazine observed, “finds the star chasing Jigglypuff into a Wonderland-style dreamworld full of colorful ensembles and pop star choreography.”

About Mabel

In the last year or so alone, Mabel has won the BRIT Award for Best Female Solo Artist, surpassed four billion streams and 2.2 million adjusted album sales for first album, High Expectations – the biggest-selling debut by a British woman in 2019 – and added to her formidable catalogue of smash hits like “Don’t Call Me Up” with three more top 10s under lockdown. Futuristic, fearless and feel-good, her first single of 2021, “Let Them Know,” marked the unmistakable arrival of a new era and mindset for Mabel. If High Expectations documented a coming-of-age (and the fact you may actually spend a lifetime figuring it all out), her new material finds Mabel emboldened with experience. Her girl-next-door candor remains, but in embracing dance music’s generational ethos of expression, liberation and inclusion, you witness a woman moving firmly to her own beat. The Guardian hailed Mabel as a “warrior queen” and Vogue praised her as “unflinchingly honest, earnestly positive, and resolutely single-minded.”

About Cyn

It's not every day that the girl next door winds up being signed by one of the world's biggest pop stars, but that once-in-a-lifetime scenario is exactly what happened when Cyn, who was born and raised in Detroit, met Katy Perry during a chance encounter. Katy fell head over heels for her voice, and quickly signed her to Unsub Records and publishing. Cyn now lives in Los Angeles, where she has devoted herself to writing over 400 songs, released a 7-song EP titled Mood Swing and has had original songs featured on award winning major motion picture soundtracks, including her songs “Uh Oh” and “Drinks” for the Oscar-winning film, Promising Young Woman. “Drinks” broke at Top 40 radio this past summer and has amassed over 20 million global streams to date. Billie Eilish added it to her Apple Music radio show, “me & dad radio,” and Rolling Stone hailed it as a “Song You Need To Know.” “Drinks” is also featured on the soundtrack for the new HBO Max series “Gossip Girl.” Cyn is the recipient of the 2020 ASCAP Songwriters Hall Of Fame scholarship and has big plans for 2021.

About Vince Staples

Ever since Vince Staples introduced himself to the hip-hop world in 2014, he’s been known as a documentarian, filing first-person accounts of his teenage and 20-something days in Long Beach, California over booming beats that seesaw from edgy to spirited. Generally a private person, friends would often tell Vince that they learn new information about him through his music, encouraging him to reveal even more about himself. When he began to dig in and create his forthcoming album, the follow-up to his critically acclaimed 2018 album FM!, the award-winning rhymer took that into consideration. The result is Vince Staples, a tight project entirely produced by Kenny Beats. The self-titled 10-track album delves not only into his upbringing in Long Beach, but his psyche as he learns to cope with his yesterdays and strides toward new tomorrows, picking others up along the way. This album is intentional and melodic - an expression of a Vince Staples who knows what he wants and what he has. Vince Staples is just the beginning of Vince’s busy 2021. He’s currently working on bringing his dramedy, “The Vince Staples Show,” to Netflix, two new podcasts and a graphic novel with Z2 comics.

About ZHU

ZHU is ready to move again. Most of his third album, DREAMLAND 2021, was made at home during quarantine, but as the GRAMMY-nominated musician and producer crafted the new set’s grimy techno and sweaty house tracks, he imagined the record as the score to a world starting to spin back into motion. He celebrated its release with an unprecedented sold-out, six-night run at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, CO. ZHU was honored with a Best Dance Recording nomination at the 2014 GRAMMYs for his breakout hit “Faded.” His debut album GENERATIONWHY topped Billboard's Dance/Electronic albums chart and landed on the Billboard 200, and he’s had dozens of tracks hit the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart. These accolades have earned him partnerships with like-minded brands including Luminosity and Leica. He continued his productive streak in 2020 with a series of singles—including “Only” with Tinashe, “Desire” with Bob Moses, and the Kito and Jeremih collab “Follow”—and a string of live-streams for Digital Mirage, Insomniac, and Lollapalooza. But all of this success has never been the point—ZHU just wanted to head to the dancefloor and dream up better worlds. DREAMLAND 2021 basks in that impulse. He imagines everyone united under one roof raving—a party with enough energy to take over the whole world.
