For some people, music isn’t a career choice: it’s a way to experience the world, to find your place and communicate with the rest of mankind. For Gregory Hoepffner, writing and producing music is as vital as water and air. His G.H. Francis project bloomed from a life journey of releasing records and touring all over the world, with multifaceted projects like Almeeva, Sure, Ghoster, Kid North, Time To Burn, Kabbel, and performing with Bernard Szajner, the laser-harp inventor.

Fully pop, urgent, G.H. Francis relies on the vitality and shape-shifting ability of an artist who intentionally places light and catchy music on top of deeply personal thoughts, somewhere between catharsis and auto biography. His new EP “Why Does Anyone?” is a collection of synthetic pop songs, showcasing a robust production that never overpowers the emotional content, where the hedonism and frivolity call out for a celebration of our fragile existence.

With the new record, G.H. Francis successfully revives the spontaneity of meaningful pop music, both accessible and profound. And eventually essential. His new single from the EP, ‘Without You’ is an upbeat indie-rock gem with a haunting hook, interlacing vocals and synthesizer layers and follows the acclaimed recent single ‘The Only Queer In The Van’. The track was co-produced with Christoffer Berg, who’s known for his work with Depeche Mode, Fever Ray, The Knife, and more recently Amen Dunes. The video for ‘Without You’ sees G.H. Francis perform the track in amongst vivid colours, combined with nostalgic DIY visuals.

“Without You”, is out now!

New EP “Why Does Anyone?” out 14^th June.

Reece Rosé Bottles the Feeling on “Misbehaving”

Reece Rosé is not trying to reinvent the wheel. He is here to remind you why it worked in the first place. With “Misbehaving”, the rising electronic artist taps into something instantly familiar, then flips it into a feel-good house cut that lands right where nostalgia meets the dancefloor.

Teaming up with Capri Everitt, Reece Rosé leans into warm textures and groove-driven production that echo the roots of early ’90s house and UK garage. The result is effortless but intentional. Smooth chords, playful rhythms, and just enough bounce to keep things moving without overcomplicating the mood.

“Misbehaving” plays like a memory you did not realize you still had. Late nights, no responsibilities, music loud enough to blur everything else. It pulls from that space where time felt slower but nights somehow lasted longer. “It’s a reminder of those carefree high school days, when life felt simple, the nights felt endless, and the only thing that mattered was the music and the memories we were making,” Rosé explains. And that feeling runs through every second of the track.

What makes it click is that it never gets stuck in the past. The influences are clear, but the execution stays sharp and current. This is not revival for the sake of it. It is a continuation. Rosé understands the DNA of dance music and builds on it, keeping the energy light, summery, and forward-facing.

That balance is quickly becoming his signature. With international airplay on Kiss FM UK and Insomniac Radio, plus support from names like AC Slater, Zeds Dead, Boombox Cartel, DJ Q, REH4B, and DJ Craze, his momentum is building in all the right places. On Beatport, his releases are already making noise, proving that his sound connects both in clubs and beyond.

“Misbehaving” does not try too hard. It does not need to. It is light, nostalgic, and built to move. The kind of track that makes you look back for a second, then pulls you straight into the moment.
