Adam Davenport released his debut single "My Return Address is You" in January featuring vocals by Shanica Knowles. His follow-up EP, "My Return Address is You: The Remixes," was released today on iTunes/Apple Music, Spotify and all digital platforms from Independent Ear/ILS Group/Universal Music Group, featuring remix work from Grammy-nominated StoneBridge & Axel Hall, ALIUS, Division 4, Marat Leon, Roberto Ferrari and Serbsican.

Sten and Axel Hallström (StoneBridge & Axel Hall) are based in Stockholm, Sweden. StoneBridge, who first became a household name in the dance world with his remix of Robin S.'s "Show Me Love," garnered a Grammy Award nomination for his remix of Ne-Yo's "Closer" and a BMI Songwriter of the Year award for his contribution to Jason Derulo's "Don't Wanna Go Home." StoneBridge, who had two singles reach #1 on the Billboard Dance Club Charts last year, is also a resident at Sirius XM/BPM with his radio show which is broadcast every Saturday 10pm (PST) over North America; he premiered his club mix of "My Return Address is You" on the station last weekend.

Originally from Odessa, Ukraine, Marat Leon garnered notice last year when he dropped his single "Swing" which broke the top 100 on the indie dance and nudisco charts and has received support from such artists as Avicii, The Chainsmokers, Cedric Gervais, Starkillers and Tommy Trash.

American duo Serbsican attracted attention from the likes of Zedd, Porter Robinson, and most notably, Nicky Romero on their debut track "Passport." Their official remix to StoneBridge's single, "If You Like It," recently hit #1 on the Billboard Dance Club Charts and their upcoming single "Somebody" will be released next month on Tommy Boy Records.

ALIUS is the brainchild of Sebastian Ivanov, a writer-producer from Melbourne, Australia who has toured alongside the likes of Megan Trainor, Lil' Kim and Clean Bandit. Combining elements of R&B, pop and electronica, ALIUS is currently seeing success with his new single "Nobody Can Hear You," which in just six days of release managed to get into the Top 50 Viral Charts in Taiwan, Malaysia and the Philippines.

Also hailing from Australia, Division 4 (Robert Ladi?, formerly known as Red Tape) is a #1 Billboard charting producer who has remixed the likes of Gwen Stefani and Tony Moran. He is renowned for his ability to blend genres into his own signature sound (described as "Electro Fusion") and is carving himself a niche somewhere between the world of pop and underground house, amassing an evoking body of work that includes releases on Jungle Funk Recordings, Swishcraft Records, Miniatures Records and Toolroom Records.

Italian progressive house producer Roberto Ferrari, currently based in Barcelona, is deeply influenced by the music of legendary Offer Nissim. "I love the scope and imagination that went into this release," says Davenport. "It was an international collaboration with remixers hailing from three continents! Each artist invested their heart and soul into the work and put their own unique stamp onto their respective track. We're all inspired to bring the world together through dance music."

Davenport recently became one of the first African-American actors to play Hercules in the musical feature Project Olympus, which was produced by music veterans David Kenneth Eng, Alex Ewen and Michael Epstein of Road Warrior Entertainment and is currently in post-production. A graduate of Yale University, he has performed at Carnegie Hall and can be seen in the upcoming season of High Maintenance on HBO.

Watch Davenport and Stephen Dexter, recently seen on the last season of Billions on Showtime, bust a move in this video for "My Return Address is You: The Remixes," which was filmed in the Spring Street subway station. The video was co-directed by Davenport and Mike Dote.
