There’s a certain richness in ‘southside thrill ride’. The album itself is rather eclectic and varied, exploring anything from conventional hip-hop to punchy R&B and gritty electro-pop anthems. The only constant is their author, Houston-based American creative Joho. Perfectly at home in emotional pieces, as he is in more uplifting territories, the young artist collects […]

The time has come. ‘Dear Infrastructure’ is among us, unveiling Marble Raft’s expansive, imaginative and buoyant artistic vision.

Enriched by the Swedish pair’s collective vocals, well […]

I’ll confess, the first time I heard ‘Salt’ I wasn’t sure what to make of it. That’s usually the first sign that something exciting is going on. When the brain cannot pinpoint a specific reference, it means the artist has managed to create a uniquely specific piece, a completely new aural formula that’s familiar and […]

There’s a new electropop queen in town, and her name is VIAVE. Packing a bold, striking outlook, the Estonian songstress has developed an impressive brand of synth-powered goodness, blending relatable lyricism with intricate, leftfield-flavoured sonic energy. ‘Blush’ is the perfect evidence of that: ever-changing and intense, the track also delivers a certain amount of dreamy […]

Growing up […]
