Jungle act and Bradford artist Nia Archives has announced via social media that she’s launching her own record label.
Known for her bold beats and outgoing persona, the Bradfordian has lots of hits under her belt including ‘Forbidden Feelingz’ and ‘Baianá’.
Archives has worked with many different artists including Walsall champ Jorja Smith, remixing her unreal dancefloor filler ‘Little Things’ just last summer.
The Self-procclaimed ‘New Gen Junglist’ has been catching the attention of the public and music critics alike, winning the BBC Music Introducing ‘Artist of the Year’ back in 2022.

The proud Bradford artist even found herself bagging a Brit nomination for ‘Best Dance Act’ this year, how special.
Now she’s putting her music expertise to good use opening her very own record label with a very fitting and snappy name.
Titled ‘Up Ya’ or its full name ‘Up Ya Archives Records’, this label is wasting no time in firing out some absolute tunes with the first track dropping next week.
The single which is called ‘Get Loose’ is a collaboration between Archives, a.k.a the founder of the record label, and a Bristol based DJ with a very wild name, Cheetah.
If that wasn’t enough for you, Nia is also bringing her ‘Up Ya Archives’ stage to All Points East at Victoria Park in London for the first time ever this year.
She will be bringing lots of special guests with her to put on some impressive back to back sets from Coco Bryce and Dwarde, Sully and Tim Reaper.
There’s even a slot that features the previously mentioned collaborator Cheetah too, who will be partnering with Samurai Breaks alongside plenty more huge dance acts.
The songs that come out under this label will definitely be certified bangers no matter what and fans don’t have long to wait til ‘Get Loose’ drops next week.
Boyband and radio hitmakers The Script are coming to Leeds and are playing out alongside an equally big support act.
'For the First Time' in almost a year, The Script are playing a run of live shows across the UK including Leeds' First Direct Arena.
This Irish-based band have soundtracked generations with their hits spanning two decades including 'Hall of Fame', 'Breakeven', 'Superheroes' and more.
Consisting of lead vocalist Danny O'Donoghue with Benjamin Seargent on bass, guitarist Ben Weaver and drummer Adam Marcello, their music fuses pop and rock.
The Script has released three albums that have topped both UK and Ireland charts as well as four Top 10 singles and they're hoping to reign supreme on the charts once more with upcoming LP The User's Guide to Being Human.
Although the full album doesn't drop until August, Danny and the rest of the lads have dropped a single titled 'Man In The Arena'.
There's even a nod to the Northern music scene on the tracklist as one of the upcoming releases is labelled 'The Crowd Was Singing Wonderwall'.
Other tracks on this LP include 'Living Our Life Without Me', 'I'm 100 Different People' and a song that's sure to get a few tears out of all of us - 'Grow Old with Grace'.

A daytime rave where you can be in bed by 8pm is coming to Sheffield
Clementine Hall
The famous Day Fever is back and this time it’s set to be bigger and better than ever before.
If you haven’t heard of Day Fever before, then we are about to blow your mind.
Launched in early 2024 by actress Vicky McClure and frontman of Reverend & The Makers Jon McClure, Day Fever has become somewhat of a cultural sensation.
From its debut her in Sheffield to a tour that sees thousands of ravers hitting the dance floor each month, the message is clear: people want to dance and let loose, but still be in bed before 9pm. And to be honest, we don’t blame them.

Running from 3pm to 8pm, Day Fever provides a proper night out that doesn’t completely write you off for the entire weekend.
Heading to Sheffield City Hall on Saturday 6th June, this edition of Day Fever will be filled with nothing but wall-to-wall hits courtesy of DJs Stars & Stace, Olly Hayes and Christian Carlisle.
"If you look back at the first Sheffield one to what we are now, the evolution of it is amazing," says Vicky McClure. "It was still the same people that wanted the same thing; they just wanted to go out in the day… and just have a dance!"
Think less nightclub, more joyful chaos. “It feels like a massive house party at your nan’s,” Vicky laughs. “No drama, no egos, just people acting daft, getting dressed up, and having the best time."

"It’s stories that we hear that really sum up what it's about," says Vicky McClure. "We’ve had people going through chemotherapy… people grieving… and all of a sudden you just feel this room filled with love."
