'Move Back' is the brand new banger from lyrical badman, Stylo G and sees the London Don following up the success of 'Badd' and 'Soundbwoy' with another storming dance floor anthem.
The track's thumping bassline combines with a jubilant live horn section which adds a dash of old school reggae style to Stylo's modern dancehall fire.
The sound and lyrics of 'Move Back' pay tribute to some of reggae's finest - the legendary artists and soundsystems who continue to influence Stylo's sound.
It's been a big year for Stylo G. His breakthrough single 'Soundbwoy' peaked at number 18 in the UK chart and Stylo spent the summer performing to enthusiastic crowds at Glastobury, Leeds, Reading and Wireless festivals. He stole the show at Notting Hill Carnival when he joined Toddla T Sound and has toured extensively across mainland Europe and performed with Major Lazer on their recent tour.
Stylo G is a new addition to the Primary Talent roster with booking agent Craig D'Souza.
Wireless Festival will take place at Finsbury Park, London and Perry Park, Birmingham over the weekend of 4th-6th July. The first announcement of participating artists includes:

'Good Feeling' is the brand new single from Mikill Pane, released 18th March on Mercury Records. It's a through-the-looking glass single that opens up the world of Mikill Pane. It's an incredibly accomplished, fresh, vibrant hook-laden single that mixes kitchen sink drama of parties and Facebook with student flats and shady landlords.
With nods to ska, reggae, hip-hop and more this fusion of styles, though
done before, in Mikill Pane's hands feels incredibly new and fresh.
There's a real vibrancy, something that matches the crisp delivery of
the lyrics as he paints vivid images of student life in the city.
Mikill Pane's forthcoming debut album will be the quintessential summer record, one that lights up rooms, clubs, and parties wherever played. He is an enormous new talent, charismatic, forthright and opinionated. It's sharp, witty, at ease with language the whole time, with razor-sharp couplets with universal sentiments.
Mikill Pane's debut album 'Blame Miss Barclay' is released later this year on Mercury Records.
Signed to Mercury at the end of 2012, last single 'Dirty Rider' picked up support at both Radio 1 and 1Xtra. He's already played to a packed field at Reading Festival and regularly sells out 500+ capacity venues.
