Having first hit our radar back in 2020 with his evocative hit just 4 u, Mitchell Zia takes on a whole new persona and style with the supervillain EP, leading with deep and characterful vocals, through a series of theatrical indie arrangements that tell stories and entertain in a boldly distinct way.

MC Shep’s integrity and energy as a producer continue to separate his repertoire and original style from much of the modern scene. His ability to engage, to entertain and uplift, stands tall throughout a consistently versatile catalogue of music, and if you’re new to his sound, these six tracks make for the perfect place to begin.
Norwegian producer and creative Prof. K Flow delivers a catchy anthem of an EDM hit, with the electronically driven uplift and optimism of Unbreakable.
Beautiful vocals and a euphoric production elevate the pop songwriting of UK artist Daisy Peacock. While It Lasted carefully balances the strum of an acoustic guitar, with the synth-loaded ethereal embrace of a dance-ready soundtrack, and all the while promises a heartfelt and memorable ode to the highs and lows of adolescent relationships.
The rising artist delivers a masterfully established sound with her recent singles, and creates a space that aptly draws the listener in as they ponder these reflections on life and love. Rather than seeking out genre tags or comparisons, the songs themselves are quick to work their magic for connection and escapism, and that’s the stand-out quality of all things Bella Masone right now.
Haunting electro-pop production and equally mystifying vocals build up a unique sense of intrigue – singer and songwriter Elizma holds close to a clear creativity identity, for the beautiful and mesmerising What’s in My Head.
An emotive earworm at its core but also impressively poetic, Keep Falling feels like a modern dance or EDM track with a twist of something a little more thoughtful and intentional to its lyrical base.
As we shift into the conceptual mystique of (Cactus), and the subsequent tribal dance flavours and vocal warping of BoysBoysBoys, the playful nature and limitless artistic expression of the project becomes all the more clear.
Chicago dance-pop legend Irene Michaels, standing tall on the back of seven decades of entertainment and connection to the scene, returns this season with an unexpected EDM and House-fusion drop that’s as likable as it is fearlessly confident.
“The world can be so scary, lonely, and almost discouraging, but I think when you show the world you can be yourself and fearless…it creates a bond between strangers.”
Come And Get Some V2 is a brilliant track – not overly performative but kind of confident and satisfying in its own way. Think Will and The People, Sticky Fingers, Sublime, but with a more relevant kind of indie-pop production and versatility to the lyrical and performative spread.
Songwriter and content creator Lisa Orlando delves further into the euphoric depths of heartfelt dance-pop, with this emotionally loaded, synth-kissed and colourful new single Into The Deep End.
