Shortly after his first release, ‘Breach/Stellar,’ released on Matrix and Futurebounds’ Viper Recordings, RAM Records’ boss Andy C signed ‘Iodine/Open Ground’ to his new imprint Program Recordings. The track was featured on the legendary DJ’s Mixmag mix CD, which led to Kove being invited to play at RAM’s residency at London’s infamous club Fabric.
Only a month after the release of ‘Iodine’ and Kove’s track ‘Searching’ found it’s way into the hands of chart topping producers Chase & Status, who included it in their own Mixmag mix CD. It became Kove’s second track to feature on the magazine in just six short months. A record deal with Chase & Status’ label MTA (also home to Nero), followed. Soon Kove was supporting them at club nights across Europe as the track became one of the biggest releases of the summer, receiving major support from Radio 1 and reaching the #1 spot on Beatport’s D&B chart.
With remixes for Chase & Status’ top 10 hit ‘Lost and Not Found’ and John Newman’s massive no.1 single, ‘Love Me Again,’ now nearing 3 million views on YouTube, Kove has become increasingly in demand as a re-mixer. This summer has also seen his stock rise as a DJ, with a regular slot for Together at Ibiza’s famous Amnesia and playing the main stage for UKF at SW4 in London - not to mention support slots for the likes of Sub Focus.
With so much achieved in such a short space of time, 2014 will undoubtedly propel Kove further into the limelight.

You never try to find the time
I don't know where we went so wrong but
I think it's best we read the signs
I don't know how it's come to this
We're somewhere between heartache and bliss
Do you remember?
We said forever, I can't forget it
I don't know any other way to make it work
'Cause baby it still hurts
'Cause baby it still hurts
'Cause baby it still hurts
'Cause baby it still hurts
It's funny how things start to change us
The little things that pulls a smile
I don't know how we got to this place
Maybe it's best we read the signs
I don't know how it's come to this
We're somewhere between heartache and bliss
Do you remember?
The words that we said
We said forever, I can't forget it
I don't know any other way to make it work
'Cause baby it still hurts
'Cause baby it still hurts
'Cause baby it still hurts
'Cause baby it still hurts
We said forever, I can't forget it
I don't know any other way to make it work
'Cause baby it still hurts
'Cause baby it still hurts
'Cause baby it still hurts
'Cause baby it still hurts
'Cause baby it still hurts
(Baby it still hurts)
('Cause baby it still hurts)
The song "Hurts" by Kove is about the pain and heartbreak that comes with a relationship that is no longer working. The lyrics suggest that the singer and their partner have grown apart and that they are unsure of how it happened. The line "I don't know where we went so wrong but I think it's best we read the signs" implies that they are willing to accept that the relationship is over and move on.
Despite this acceptance, the singer seems to be struggling to come to terms with the end of the relationship, as evidenced by the repetition of the line "Cause baby it still hurts." The lyrics suggest that the pain of the breakup is still very real and present for the singer, even though they know it is time to let go.
Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on the end of a relationship and the complicated emotions that come with it, including pain, regret, and uncertainty.

One of the best Drum & Bass tracks ever! Why is this so underrated? It was number 1 in my personal charts and it should have been #1 on the UK charts as well... Beautiful vocals by Moko, great lyrics and such a powerful production by Kove. More people need to hear this!

themusikguySPECIAL I was expecting her to singlehandedly bring back that 90s soul house, trip-hop sound, but she disappeared off the face of the planet after her EP. I love her voice.
