Electronic tones which feel future-forward yet still really easy to enjoy. It’s the kind of vibe you need to pick you up on a slow day.

Track of the week. I literally can’t stop listening to this… A bold mix of vintage soundbites, old-school string samples and the smoothest vocal delivery this side of London.
New Music: KUNZITE
There’s so much happening on this song but it all works seamlessly. It’s funky, cosmic, dreamy, indie, psychedelic… Totally bonkers. And great!
New Music: Emily Vu
New Music: Luuvis
A mellow and smooth RnB vibe that’s so easy to listen to.
“This is a song I’ve been working on for a while and I’ve channeled all my favourite music, from Jhene Aiko to Noah Slee. Working with Mayila and Martin Nessi has definitely made this song really special.”
New Music: Em Rossi
Pop music doesn’t get more uplifting than this right now…
“The song was written about the night my parents fell in love while attending California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, California.”
New Music: Faride
A charming and fun mix of RnB and pop.
“Comfort Food is a play on what was expected of women and how food was something that women used to please men. It’s normalising not having to be that comfort for a guy. Its about prioritising yourself and self-love.”
New Music: Brooks Barry
Heartfelt lyrics and a melodic, mellow pop sound from this Nashville talent.
“Play Pretend is about love lost and the desire to hold onto something that’s no longer there. People change and sometimes it’s easier to hold on and pretend rather than face the truth and let go.”
New Music: Cannon
A perfected blend of hip hop and RnB, fused together with an acoustic vibe from a 21-year-old South Carolina talent.
New Music: Stevie Ray
Feel-good hip hop from the Bay Area.
‘Nothing But Love is a celebration of love and a rejection of capitalist programming. It’s about loving people now, and letting go of the idea that you have to become someone to be someone. Some folks got everything in the world, but the only thing that anyone needs is love.”
New Music: Andreas Vey
Beautifully simple yet emotional pop with a sense of melancholy.
“I had a breakdown and moved to Berlin to begin again. Somehow it started with a clutch of failures and setbacks. I couldn’t find a place to stay and worked in twenty or more different daily jobs and finally my girlfriend broke up with me. I was pretty lost and disillusioned and I wandered through the city a lot at that time. I remember being pretty overwhelmed by the hectic of the city and all the different impressions while I was seeking refuge and solace.”
New Music: ZELAH
Powerfully atmospheric alt-pop from London.
“It’s full of conflicting emotions and is pretty reflective on the modern dating culture and the level of uncertainty everyone feels with a new relationship and where it’s going… But it also has a lot of those amazing, positive feelings in the early stages of something when you just can’t stop thinking about someone.”
New Music: Kitty Coen
A fresh blend of psych rock and electropop.
“Kitty was an official SXSW this year, however the festival was cancelled due to CO-VID 19. Kitty plans to release a music video for this track in mid May.”
New Music: Ross Quinn
A beautifully textured and emotive piece of British left-pop.
“You’, is inspired by the early & exciting stages of a relationship. Forming a connection with someone, trying to gain a better understanding of them and their somewhat, elusive feelings. I wanted that energy to match in production with a driving beat, yet keeping the warm tones and textures throughout, taking you back to that place of the relationship.”
New Music: Melissa Weinstein
It’s hard not to be won over with this mix of feel-good indie and alt-pop. Self-written, and recorded with three best friends from college.
The EP, ‘Decent Days’ will be released on all platforms April 23rd.

I live for this kind of work. An Immediately captivating and boundary-pushing blend of rap and jungle.
New Music: Krysten Simone
Few up-and-coming talents manage to get the balance right between replicating their idol’s styles while still sounding unique. This track is pretty finessed though – you can hear elements of Mariah and Ariana, while still connecting with Krysten’s vibe.
New Music: William Segerdahl
New Music: fijitrip
They say Norway is one of the happiest places on earth, and this sound sums up that sensibility quite nicely. Playful and easy to enjoy, all the while maintaining a minimal indie feel.
New Music: Crash
“I wrote this song in the thick of my feelings right after me an my girl broke up, and it’s just real. It’s funny because the whole world is Long Distance right now with all of our relationships.”
