Today marks the release of the catchy dance-pop single ‘Lookin’.

‍

Created by fresh names DJ Danny and B Rizzy Ryce and featuring Aotearoa expat Stella Mayn, ‘Lookin’ is the perfect track to jam to, both day and night. Listen HERE.

The impetus? What else than a holiday in Thailand to get the creative juices flowing. DJ Danny and B Rizzy Ryce were enjoying the party-like atmosphere of Phuket when it became clear to them both that they needed to encapsulate the feeling by getting on the decks. While sipping a fair few pina coladas and after a couple of walks down Bangala road, mingling with the locals, it dawned on the pair that everyone had their phones at the ready, both to see and be seen, looking for their chance of fame and fortune. It was the perfect topic for a party tune about looking - looking around, being seen, and trying to be seen.

‘Lookin' took shape over a few sessions, produced by Fraser Browne of Little Cranes Productions, along with Sam Kelsen and Keegan Meiring of Good Boy. Enlisting the help of the New Zealand Aotearoa artist Stella Mayn (now living in Perth, Australia), with shiny vocals and an upbeat, fun track, the DJs recorded what they hope morphs into a summer anthem.

Stella Mayn is a 25-year-old singer-songwriter from Tauranga, New Zealand, currently based in Perth, Western Australia. With a natural talent for singing and songwriting that she honed since childhood, Stella's music is a testament to her passion and joy for making art. Born into a musical family, immersed into gigs every weekend and being the family roadie fuelled her true love for music. 

With her 2023 debut single ‘YOU’, Stella embarked on a musical exploration that showcases her heartfelt lyrics, catchy melodies, and authentic voice. Her follow up singles helped her land opening slots for artists such as NZ’s own YAHYAH and Aussie boys The VANNS on their 2024 kiwi tour.

Speaking on the projects, the DJs share: “We can't wait for listeners to immerse themselves in this summer anthem - complete with Stella’s incredible vocals. What better place to write a track like this than in Thailand… complete with a Pina Colada or a Tiger Hop!”

The release of ‘Lookin’ hopes to be the start of great things for DJ Danny and B Rizzy Ryce. Feeling as inspired as ever, they will definitely be a pair to watch in 2025 onwards.
