‘no messiah’ by cityboymoe

There’s a lot of hype around cityboymoe and tracks like ‘no messiah’ remind us why. The north west Londoner and his sliding autotune vocals have found a pocket in the UK rap landscape that nobody else sits in. The @sebxx shot visuals are well worth watching too.

‘Naughty Or Nice’ by fakemink

Has there been an artist as prolific and consistent as fakemink this year? In the last 30 days, he’s released a respectable six singles, all with the digital flare and scuzzy flow patterns that we’ve come to expect from him. 'Naughty Or Nice' follows in a similar vein.

‘Doll’ by CHIG

South coast five-piece CHIG are bringing back nu-metal with vengeance, drawing on a spectrum of guitar music that sits in the middle of shoegaze, alt-rock, noise and emo. ‘Doll’ is two minutes of rip-roaring riffs and sharp drumming that simmer in a pool of screechy melancholia.

‘ABUSO SONORO’ by Data Assault (Tra Fo Remix)

São Paulo via New York record label Tijolo Records are bringing Brazillian underground electronic music to the masses. On their latest release, Data Assault steps up for a six track EP, filled with swirling acidic basslines, sharp breaks and everything in between. Our pick of the bunch is this edit from Tra Fo.

‘Pearls Bleed Too’ by Aja Ireland

On her new single, Aja Ireland wants you to know that ‘Pearls Bleed Too’. Unsettling and provocative, the single deconstructs traditional techno formulas and makes something far more restless. Not your traditional Christmas listening, but the track will have you pining for the club while you tuck into your turkey and stuffing.

‘falling out the sky’ by Jadasea

Dumping 19 singles on us as part of his folder series, JADASEA is ringing in the new year with a selection of laidback and soulful jams. ‘falling out the sky’ is one of many selections we could have chosen from the project, so we recommend taking it all in.

‘as I left the room’ by UCHE YARA

Always theatrical, UCHE YARA returns for one last hurrah with ‘as I left the room’. Stripped back to little more than a piano and her shrilled vocals, the single feels grandiose and anthemic, like a beacon of light and hope in a dark and clouded room.

‘River’ by Jeweler’s Son

Jeweler’s Son’s rendition of ‘River’ transforms Joni Mitchell’s classic into an experimental soundscape that resonates with the digital age’s sense of isolation. This haunting interpretation departs from their EDM roots, offering a timeless reminder of music’s power to heal and connect with raw human emotion.

‘Stay With Me’ by JAHKOY

JAHKOY's ‘Stay With Me’ is a heartfelt exploration of love and vulnerability, carried by his velvety vocals and a seamless fusion of R&B and Afrobeat influences. The track's intimate lyricism and polished production create a soulful atmosphere that lingers long after the final note.

‘Life of a Star’ by ABZRODEO

‘Life of a Star’ flows with the melodic warmth of ABZRODEO's Afrobeat roots, blending rhythmic grooves with introspective lyrics that delve into the trials of ambition and fame. The track's vibrant production and soulful vocals make it both a compelling listen and a testament to his evolving artistry.
