Montréal-based synthwave producer Das Mörtal returns with DECVY I, a seven-track mini-album that pushes his dystopian electronic sound into darker, more psychologically demanding territory. Released on 30 October 2026 via Lisbon Lux Records, the project marks the opening chapter of an ambitious trilogy exploring physical and mental deterioration through darkwave, dark techno, witch house and trance. Written during a period of personal health struggles, the record channels ill

Wormogenic has a knack for making difficult feelings sound deceptively euphoric, and ‘16’ is a case in point. Blending shimmering synths with gritty guitars, driving bass and a darker electronic edge, the Florida-raised artist delivers a dream-pop track that feels as good to sing along to as it does to sit with. Beneath its glossy exterior, though, lies a more complicated story about growing up and never quite knowing how long happiness will last. Written after a birthday tha

Robert Hinrichs turns personal upheaval into a burst of synth-driven pop on ‘The Road’, a track that balances reflective songwriting with an increasingly euphoric sense of release. Drawing on funk, new wave and electronic production, it pairs bright synths and propulsive rhythms with the theatrical pop sensibilities of Scissor Sisters and Mika, while retaining a distinctive experimental edge. Written in the aftermath of a difficult relationship and a fresh creative start, the

Malmö duo MAMI UMAMI have never sounded particularly interested in staying within the lines. Across their releases, Jaquelin Elamiri and Leonard Furby have treated hip-hop, pop and club music less as fixed genres than as raw materials, building something distinctly their own from the collision. Their latest single, (Don't) think I like you, continues that approach with a track that is immediately kinetic but considerably more complicated beneath its surface. Co-produced with

Slay Raché brings a distinctly classic pop sensibility into the present on ‘You Make Me Wanna Dance’, an exuberant new single built around infectious rhythms, glossy production and an immediately memorable hook. Drawing inspiration from the golden era of 80s pop and dance, the track carries a clear sense of nostalgia without becoming trapped in retro territory. Produced at Milkboy Studio in Philadelphia, the song combines bouncy instrumentation with Raché’s commanding vocal d

Buckle up, because Revived Echoes is taking us on an emotional rollercoaster with "You Never Felt the Same," and it is one hell of a ride. The London producer has created a track that hits all the right notes, both sonically and emotionally, delivering a package that is as satisfying as it is surprising. This is the kind of song that reminds you why you fell in love with electronic music in the first place, combining infectious melodies with a lyrical depth that is increasing

Some songs demand your attention through sheer volume; others pull you in through atmosphere. On ‘high’, hazy waters manage to do both. The London trio deliver a rush of distortion, shimmering melodies and restless energy that feels as exhilarating as the fleeting connection at the heart of the song. Built around a hypnotic guitar refrain and an infectious rhythmic drive, ‘high’ unfolds with a sense of momentum that's difficult to resist. Layers of fuzzy guitars weave effortl

Prince Kaybee enters a new chapter with 'Heno Babayo', marking his debut release on PLAYY. Records and reminding listeners why he remains one of Afro-house's most influential voices. The South African producer has spent the past decade pushing the genre beyond its borders, and this latest single arrives with the confidence of an artist who knows exactly how to command a dancefloor while staying true to his roots. Built around crisp percussion, rich synth textures and soaring

In “You Got This”, Marcello Cordova navigates the intersection of alternative pop-rock and contemporary Christian music with remarkable clarity. The track, featuring Evie Lizarraga, demonstrates an awareness of pacing, layering, and tonal contrast that elevates it beyond a simple inspirational anthem. The song’s instrumentation—synth textures, dynamic guitars, and driving half-time drums—creates a sense of momentum that mirrors the lyrical themes of resilience and faith. Pro

If you thought The Songs of Butler & Cupples were impressive with ‘Bad Habits’, their new single ‘What Use Is Peace Without Freedom’ proves they’re just getting started. This isn’t a band in the traditional sense - it’s a creative playground where the song itself is the star, and honestly, that focus really shows. Written by two seasoned songwriters, the project thrives on substance over flash. The new track leans into hypnotic electronic-pop, with bouncy synths, catchy melod

Alt-pop newcomer HOLLY keeps the momentum going with ‘FIX’, a dark, sleek pop track that leans into the messy side of desire, that moment when attraction stops feeling fun and starts feeling unavoidable. It’s confident, emotionally charged, and feels like a natural next step in her growing solo catalogue. HOLLY has spent over a decade writing and touring internationally, and it shows. Between collaborations with Synapson, Delta Heavy & Dirty Audio, and Eli & Fur, plus a world

Bad Dreams is the kind of track that quietly lingers long after the final note fades. NMDA and Isabelle Rose have crafted a soundscape where vulnerability becomes a form of art, blending electronic experimentation with a human pulse. The song feels intimate and expansive at once, as if you’re eavesdropping on a private conversation that somehow belongs to everyone. Isabelle Rose’s vocals are mesmerising, full of subtle cracks and emotional resonance. She transforms years of

Rising experimental producer Textbook Maneuver kicks off 2026 with the ethereal release of Murmur 3 Home (Radio Edit), premiering alongside a dreamy, visually striking music video via his Life Science Records imprint. The track and video made their debut on tastemaker outlet Kaltblut Magazine, cementing Michael Keane, the Bronx-born, New Jersey-based composer behind the alias, as one of electronic music’s most intriguing emerging voices. With nearly 150,000 streams across pla

Berlin-based artist Solarrio returns with his sophomore album 'Toxicology', a polished blend of synthpop, funk, and hip-hop, the record explores themes of love, addiction, and emotional accountability, framed by the central concept: “Love is dead — this album is the toxicology report.” The result is a confident, introspective release that balances vulnerability with groove. Following his 2024 debut 'All the Wrong Places', Solarrio pushes his sound into darker, more refined te

Close to Monday return with a retro-futurist shimmer on “Breakdown Simulations,” a track that leans into analog grit while bathing everything in a dreamy, slow-burn glow. The production feels like a lost broadcast from the dawn of electro-pop—warm, grainy, and hypnotic—yet there’s this bold, modern edge cutting through the haze. Their vocalist floats just above the mix, a soft but steady guide through the collision of colours and textures, giving the whole piece a sort of int

From the first note, The Change announces itself as a bold, intimate statement. Neil Friedlander’s latest album blends reflective songwriting with luminous production, creating a sound both timeless and distinctly contemporary. His lyrical candor sets the tone: this is an artist who has confronted his past and crafted a record that mirrors his journey. Musically, the album balances intimacy and scale. Acoustic guitars shimmer alongside subtle synths, while understated percus

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

Oklahoma-based collective TOUCH GROOV makes a striking entrance with their debut EP 'Doorway to Dystopia Vol.1', a genre-blurring exploration of lo-fi funk, jazz-infused synths, neo-soul textures, and indie electronic energy. Comprised of four seasoned DJs and contemporary vocalists, the group creates a sound that is equal parts immersive, cinematic, and dancefloor-ready. The lead single, 'FEELIN GOOD', epitomises the band’s signature style: sharp, electric, and teetering bet
