A fusion of RnB and dark, electronic essences which make for quite a unique sound.

New Music: Divest
A Norwegian indie-rock quartet with a meaningful message.
“It’s about life being like a karmic wheel that just keeps going and going. One event after another, but if you find yourself on the outside of the wheel for some reason (like these Corona times) you can get a sense of what am I really doing?“

New Music: Milwin
Keep an eye on Milwin (if you manage to keep your head steady from all the bopping you’ll likely do when you play this track)…
With over 5 million combined streams and 300K+ monthly listeners on Spotify, this is one Swede on a serious trajectory.
“’Kill The Lights’ is one of my favourite songs that I have produced, it has that funky/ groovy vibe combined with a nice melody. I always love working with Philip, he has such an amazing voice and has the rhythm in his soul. Turn up the volume and kill the lights!”
New Music: Coleton Rubin
LA based 20-year old COLETON RUBIN has created a style of indie that’s so simple and minimal that it’s near impossible not to feel some connection with.
This release comes ahead of the self-produced debut project ‘Grèn’ which is out later in the summer through R&R Digital.
The Shadowboxers – Ego
Having Justin Timberlake as a mentor has some very positive effects. Take this new cut from The Shadowboxers for instance. There’s the song’s subject, which is about one’s internal struggles within a relationship:
“It’s hard to admit when you’re not the right person for someone. And that’s what ‘Ego’ is about — that side of ourselves that we’re not always proud of, that would rather stick it out in a bad relationship than ‘give up’.”
But there’s also a certain swag to the sound; it’s self-assured and confident, something that only comes as a result of a band that truly understands what they stand for. It’s taken them a decade to get there, but it was well worth the wait.
Taken from the debut LP ‘The Slow March of Time Flies By’ which is out today (and is so damn good- trust me).
New Music: Anna Graceman
Self-assured and powerful ballad-pop from an American talent who first rose to prominence at a young age performing on Ellen and America’s Got Talent.
You can catch Graceman on the 1st June when she’ll be pitching an original song to Bebe Rexha on NBC’s Songland.
Taken from the album ‘The Way the Night Behaves’ which is out now.
Frida Sundemo – Backbone
It’s hard to believe that I have featured Frida Sundemo as early as 2011 and yet I am still so in love with pretty much every release since.
Today we are treated to another synth-pop gem from the Swede, and it’s exactly as you would expect; a beautifully composed melody with fragile vocals that somehow still creates an elevated sense of emotion.
Taken from the new EP ‘Sounds In My Head’ which is out today. No surprises in guessing that I’ll tell you it’s absolutely sublime.
New Music: Peach Luffe
Probably the sweetest piece of dream pop you’re likely to hear today, crafted by a gifted Toronto talent. This is the kind of sound that just takes you to another space.
“’Rollercoaster’ is about temporary emotions taking a toll on a relationship. Every relationship has its ups and downs and I tried to portray that in song.”
New Music: Modern Adventures
A Southwest Michigan group who craft a charming blend of surf indie and pop-rock. The track simply exudes joy and happiness, and it your feel-good anthem for the day.
New Music: Mae Krell
A beautifully subtle and emotive indie pop sound from this 21-year old New Yorker. You can hear and experience the vulnerabilities of a young person growing up through her music, and I think that’s a marvellous gift to have.
“I wrote the song when I first moved back home to NYC after being away for a while to work on myself. For the first time, I really valued my life, and suddenly I was scared of everything around me. There was a fear that formed because I actually cared about myself and my safety; “home” is about coming to terms with that.”
New Music: Aman Sheriff
At just 21-years old, this Dubai-based singer songwriter has already opened up for international artists such as Tove Lo, Stereophonics and Mike Posner. The sound itself is mellow and understated, but so easy to connect with.
New Music: Pacific
It’s impossible to ignore this single from British indie newcomers Pacific. The band carries a style of rock that’s bold, epic, and unashamedly present; a refreshingly confident sound.
Impressively, they ended last year selling out three shows, and their previous singles have collectively clocked up more 200,000 streams on Spotify to date.
New Music: Jack Hawitt
You may recognise the voice once you press play on this track; that’s because Jack Hawitt was responsible for performing that gorgeous cover of Ariana Grande’s ‘Into You’ which went viral last year.
But the real excitement for this London-based artist, songwriter and producer has only just begun. He started 2020 with a cut on Megan Thee Stallion’s album, followed by the release of his solo single ‘Almost Lost You’ as well as a feature on DJ Licious’ ‘We Don’t Know’. It really feels like Jack Hawitt is a British talent who is destined to some pretty amazing things. On his new release, Jack explains,
“Imagine you’ve just got home after spending time with someone who really lights you up, ‘Higher Love’ is that feeling when you sit there and think about them. It’s next-level love. For me personally it’s a romantic love but I think you can feel this deep connection with a lot of people. Friends, family, lovers. It’s basically a celebration of love.”
New Music: AJA
New Music: Ramzes II
An exciting British talent with a skill for effortlessly delivering a polished blend of hip hop and RnB. The message behind ‘Supreme Excellence’ is quite a simple one:
“To attack without fighting.“
