Yorkshire’s Kier takes country pop to reflective new heights, with the uplifting groove, passionate vocals, catchy hook, and deeply poignant contemplations of 20 Something.
Not just music but something of its own entirely. An audio experience that consumes you in its artistry and fearlessly expressive emotional honesty. Sonic worldbuilder and spiritual alchemist LATASHÁ captures attention in seconds, with the opening raw passion and exceedingly sharp, smart lyrical poetry of Out Here.
Crafted from the chaos and heartbreak of a broken friendship, songwriter and performer Strascha delivers an energising, awakening dose of volume and personal struggle, with the heavy layers and fearless vocal conviction of Hack.
Norwegian composer Solveig Sørbø brings together modernity and tradition in a powerful and rather ground-breaking fashion. Creatively exploring the impact of addiction, self-destruction, sexuality and death.

Representing the old-school unity between slick beats and sharp bars, in collaboration with World Wide Recordings – 500 BC and DJ Flipcyide capture a series of hard-hitting moments, for the anthemic original hip hop album On The Come Up.
Conceptually exploring a love story from Ambleside Beach in Vancouver, Ambleside moves into the song Concussion for something a little more evocative and gentle – a drawn-out arrangement, less rhythmically bouncy but perfectly placed for impact in its caring declarations and the higher nuance of David Jane’s versatile yet distinct and genuine voice.
Senescence is an echoing trip hop dream, in a way – a small wave of nostalgia from the haunting comfort of simpler eras. The sound is atmospheric and distinct, but the voice clean and soulful, almost like RnB re-imaged amidst an underwater storyboard that’s both cute and unsettling.
