A finely polished and irresistible blend of dance and indie pop, with subtle hints of melancholy.

New Music: Simon Sode
Simon Sode is delivering some of Denmark’s most promising dance-pop of late. This track has layers textured with rich beats and a thumping bass which makes the sound perfect for the summer.
New Music: Rook Monroe
A new talent from LA who launches his debut today… and what a song to introduce yourself to the world with! Summery, soulful tones with hints of pop, this is a sound to fall immediately in love with.
“Sometimes songs are simply meant to be enjoyed. This is one of those. Touching more on what’s felt, simply being human, than provoking feelings to place you in an emotion… which much of my music to come will do. Feeling, as natural as it may be, is still as confusing as our limited knowledge of the stars. Jolie is me, feeling.”
New Music: Dylan Dunlap
A universally enjoyable power-pop sound from an LA musician who has quietly amassed over 20 million streams from his back catalogue already.
New Music: WRENN
Alt-rock with a dreamy and subtle twist. WRENN’S relatable style shows that there’s no denying her becoming a star, having already amassed 50k Spotify followers, 40k on Instagram, and almost a million on TikTok alone.
“I wrote this song after I got on TikTok for the first time & saw the resurgence of 90s fashion that’s been completely taking over. I’ve been so inspired by that community lately & wanted to create an anthem that feels the way this new aesthetic feels. A reflection of the old, with a passion for the new. Overall it just makes me happy.”
New Music: Yorxe
Immediately arresting and unnerving, this release from South African pop talent Yorxe experiments between being playful and sinister in equal doses. It’s both bonkers and utterly amazing.
New Music: Adler XCVI
Hailing from Philadelphia, Adler XCVI’s style of easy pop has already built up a solid fan base, with his previous single ‘Tired Eyes’ already surpassing 1.3 million streams.
The sound feels universal and easy to connect with, and this song in particular carries a subject that many of us have had unfortunate experience with!
“‘Back to You’ is about a girl that I have known for the last six years. We had a quick fling when we were very young and then have kept in touch throughout our numerous relationships. We are finally both living in close proximity and are single, so I reached out to her. She essentially said she wants to be alone for a while as she has just gotten out of a long relationship. This song is my response to her.”
New Music: Max Parker
This 18-year old Toronto talent creates polished bubblegum pop with a sentimental, nostalgic and upbeat essence. Look out for the debut EP which is due for release later this year.
New Music: Haley Gold
A song that details the anguish of being ‘friendzoned’, which is a pretty common phenomena in today’s trials of finding love. The song comes from 22-year old New York talent Haley Gold, who has a fun and sweetly universal approach to pop.
New Music: Jaymie Deville
This is the kind of stunning, sublime, and totally immersive RnB that sends shivers to the back of the neck. Australian talent Jaymie Deville has created a truly sensory aesthetic that I have fallen in love with.
“’Lonely’ describes the metaphor between addiction and relationships. The high-highs and the comedowns. Really wanted to link the two desires into one with this track.”
New Music: Maro
Maro is a perfect example of how someone’s talent will always shine through no matter how hard life can get. Born in Beirut, he moved several times throughout his upbringing amidst war-torn Lebanon.
With a natural gift of creating relatable pop that gives you a sense of escapism, he has already built a fandom of 700k subscribers on YouTube and garners over a million views on TikTok alone.
“Moving and traveling around during my early teenage years made me feel lonely. Once I started to write songs and be creative, it became the perfect outlet for my emotions.”
New Music: Pink Matter
A Brisbane-based, all female group who have created a beautifully layered dream pop sound, with accents of synth and Balearic style disco beats.
“‘You’ll Never Know’ takes the perspective of a girl talking to her friend, telling her that, although she exudes beauty, she doesn’t truly see it within herself. This is a feeling I get with so many of my intelligent and beautiful friends that don’t have the inner confidence to see their own beauty.”
New Music: Ladysse
Punchy synth pop with hints of indie-rock. The sound is so easy to connect with and showcases a melody that will stick with you for a really, really long time.
“I’ve had a lot of people in my life turn to drugs or substances of some kind to deal with depression and mental health. It’s so hard to watch the ones you care about go down this road. I’ve definitely had my battles with depression and mental health, honestly who hasn’t? I think the message I want this song to bring is that it’s ok to reach out when you need help. It’s ok to be alone and try to deal with your thoughts if that’s what you need. What’s not ok is to turn to things that will ultimately cause more harm than good.”
New Music: Era
New Music: Geo
An intensely emotive yet stripped-back sound that doesn’t need much in the way of describing, you just need to press play and experience this British talent for yourself.
New Music: Lupin
A sound that is totally encapsulating and refreshing; bold but full of character. The beat demands that you dance, while the lyrics tell a story. The production has elements of Jamie Lidell, Prince, and old-school French disco. It’s just a delight to the ears.
“I had been clinging to the past in my relationship at the time, grappling with the realisation that our young expectations of what our future should look like might not actually work out. Or rather shouldn’t work out. This song focuses on coming to terms with that.”
Taken from the debut self-titled album which is out on the 9th October via Grand Jury/ Transgressive.
New Music: Baseball Game
New Music: Not Famous
A charming track that blends mellow indie vibes and a playful twist on electronic pop. With a universally likeable sound, Not Famous won’t be left that way for long!
