Erm… wow. I don’t really know what to say about Hi Fashion- I think you need to watch the clip. After a few seconds of thinking WTF I realised that this is genius. I love it. I have a feeling they’re going to garner a bit of a gay following and possibly take over the world with fierceness. Check out here. Follow Alfitude on Twitter and Facebook to be kept up to date!
You don’t need to understand Swedish to like this: this kid has something very special in him. Since June this year the clip you’re watching’s been viewed nearly 400,00 times. Check out here.
I love everything about this guy. Dirty, nasty gritty rock sound with a bit of doo wap thrown in. Makes you want to throw something like a vase across a room. Check out here.
I really have no idea about this band. They seem to be Canadian and sing in French, and have been nominated for the country’s Polaris Prize which is a big deal. It sounds like dirty 70’s glam rock. Check out here.
Summery disco pop. Sort of reminds me of some of Kylie’s stuff around the ‘Spinning Around’ years. Check out here.
Loving this track- very catchy. ‘L-Vis 1990 (real name James Connolly) is a London-based DJ and producer and, along with Bok Bok, is a co-founder and head of the Night Slugs imprint, which arose from their monthly club night at London’s East Village club.’ Check out here.
I love this. It makes you smile and want to shake a bit. Fresh, summery, sexy disco. Check out here.
‘NERVO are Mim and Liv Nervo. Twin sisters; soulmates and soon to be superstars. They emerged as hit songwriters; Kesha to Kylie; Guetta & Rowland; Pussycat Dolls and more. They’ve remixed Katy Perry, 30 Seconds to Mars, Cobra Starship, topping club charts worldwide.’ Check out here.
This is very American, acoustic rock that's pretty easy to listen to. Beyond that I really don't know much about this project. Check out here.
Electropop boyband who are singing a song originally written by the amazing Erik Hassle, who happens to be one of my absolute favourite artists.
I don’t know how I feel about them taking this song for themselves to be honest. It doesn’t sound anywhere near as good as the original but anything to raise Erik’s profile is good with me. Check out here.
Based in Sweden but hailing from Norway, Katharina Nuttall has been around for a few years but I only found out about her this last week. It’s not the usual Scandi music I feature on here; it’s a lot darker but is good to listen to! Check out here.
Summery pop from an 18 year old British/ Venezuelan teen. Daniela is also performing at Derbyshire Pride on 20th August, Cardiff Mardi Gras on 3rd September, Showcase Live @ Under the Bridge on 12th September and Palm Springs Pride on 5th November. Check out here.
This is really, really new stuff but I like it a lot. It’s so good to see that UK hip hop is keeping up with talent like this. Download the “Back To Basics” EP exclusively from his Facebook and get ready to start hearing about him a lot more often. Check out here.
Jermaine Riley was once part of underground r’n’b UK group Fun*dmental. Now he’s at it alone and his talent blows you away from the start. Check out the video above and watch this boy move. If Ne-Yo was British (he did briefly have a deal with Fun*dmental) he would be Jermaine Riley. Check out here.
This is perfect music to listen to when you’re feeling a bit down for no reason. Featuring Sam Sparro on vocals, it’s a smooth piece of Italian disco. Check out here.
