I love this a lot. It’s subdued and dark synth pop that pulls on your heart strings. Check out here.

I’m a bit speechless with this- it’s uplifting, unique and very special. The whole sound balances between the delicate and the epic. Check out here.
First Watch: Daniela Brooker ‘Chasing The Waves’
Well well well… Daniela Brooker’s making quite the name for herself. This video’s racked up over 350k hits since November 22nd. Sugary pop is as alive as ever.
New Music: Sin Cos Tan
High grade, sleek Finnish electro pop. Check out here.
Remember Artful Dodger?
If you’re a twenty-something UK reader you’ll recognise this track by Artful Dodger and Craig David:
Ironically, I wasn’t a fan of garage back then, but when I heard this new work from the Artful it set my mind back to that time, which is nice. A new EP is out next month.
New Music: Zara Larsson
Not much is out from this lady. She won Sweden’s Got Talent when she was ten, and now she’s a bit older it seems certain she’ll get a contract sooner or later. Check out here.
New Music: Liam Back
German minimal dreampop. Check out here.
New Music: Nord & Syd
I wish this had English lyrics because it’s a beautiful sound. Alas we’ll have to live with the Swedish version, which is stunningly dark and atmospheric. Check out here.
My favourite twins have a new track
Dani Deahl & The Dirty Tees – Paralyzed
A great bit of disco from The Dirty Tees to kick start your day.
New Music: Kilter
Something warm and vintage-inspired for what is, frankly, a horribly cold London evening. Check out here.
New Music: Only Real
Hazy, feel-good and very current pop from London. Check out here.
New Music: Bo Keeney
This is a really weird (but great) act. It’s as though there’s three different songs welded to one another to play one large piece with this track, and that takes some courage to pull off. Anyway, it’s pretty cool. It’s the sort of quirk that you’d expect someone like Prince to come out with. Check out here.
New Music: TjH87
Finnish electro. Check out here.
Daze
More French disco. Why not? This is a stomper of a track from Daze.
New Music: The Amplifetes
One of my tracks of the week. Swedish electro that goes along the lines of early Miike Snow stuff. Check out here.
New Music: Ditt Inre
Mellow Swedish pop. Check out here.
New Music: Amplify Dot
New Music: Owlle
I don’t really know what’s going on here but this track is as catchy as it gets with French disco. Check out here.
