Cheshire’s genre-blurring four-piece The Zangwills return with 'Drawing From Memory', an electrifying new cut born from a flash of inspiration and fuelled by instinct. Originally not even meant to be recorded, the track was written just a week before a scheduled studio session, but quickly stole the spotlight. The band made a last-minute call to scrap a previously planned song and capture this one instead. That decision pays off. 'Drawing From Memory' is urgent, anthemic, and

With “Mamacita,” Scottish producer AKIRAH reasserts his command over the heavier end of bass music, delivering a bruising riddim anthem that manages to feel both combustible and deliberately sculpted. The opening motif—an intriguing blend of Latino flair and UK drill sensibility—sets a taut atmosphere, as though the track is holding its breath before plunging into a maelstrom of sub-shaking bass and razor-edged synth work. Subtlety is not the point here; AKIRAH intends for ev

Multi-hyphenate artist, producer, and engineer James Laurent charges straight into the turbulence of desire with his explosive new single, “Dangerous Love.” Equal parts pop-punk adrenaline and pop precision, the track is a tight, high-voltage burst of emotion that showcases Laurent’s rare ability to marry grit with gloss and make it feel effortless.

Ten years after her debut EP 'Twenty Fifteen' and the viral success of 'Salt', she picks at the threads of a love that was never really hers to hold.

Dublin’s Big Sleep continue building momentum for their debut album 'Holy Show' with the release of their latest single 'Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo', a lively detour from the band’s usual introspective sound.
