UK producer ODXC has dropped his latest single, “Late Night”, alongside Lumarie. The single is the latest to be lifted from his recently released EP, In the Dungeon: Chapter Two. The six-track project spans various genres from drill and hip-hop to grime and R&B and sees the talented producer collaborate with a host of rising artists and vocalists from around the UK. Previous single “R T R Freestyle” with Ben DSP received a great response earlier this year, and “Late Night” will surely be another success for the rising producer from Tottenham, north London.

Whereas “R T R Freestyle” was an outright grime banger, “Late Night” is a mellow R&B groove, a testament to ODXC’s versatility as a producer. Over a smooth, hypnotic beat, Lumarie adds her silky vocals and gorgeous melodies as she sings about the end of a difficult breakup. The production and vocals work in perfect synergy, and it’s clear ODXC and Lumarie are onto something special with this track. It’s elevated further by accompanying visuals (directed by ODXC) that complement and capture the mood of the song brilliantly.

Speaking further on the release, ODXC says: “During lockdown, I held a rap/singing competition called Chef Up Challenge – this is how I met Lumarie. Her competition entry was such a vibe that we wanted to develop it into a full song and feature it on the EP.” Lumarie added: “‘Late Night’ was inspired by a difficult breakup and the mixed emotions that you go through when someone you’ve been trying to end things with finally stops calling. I felt like it was important for me to write a breakup song that was fun and empowering and reflected the fact that heartbreak is not always bad – sometimes it’s needed. Writing this helped me to get through my situation, and I hope it can do the same for people listening.” “Late Night” and the rest of In the Dungeon: Chapter Two are available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://lnk.to/IntheDungeonChapterTwo.

Plain Mister Smith Pieces Together a World of Sound on Bric-À-Brac Attack

Plain Mister Smith returns with Bric-À-Brac Attack, a beautifully offbeat collection of indie-folk, pop and atmospheric songwriting. Released via Amelia Records, the album finds the Vancouver and London-based multi-hyphenate turning fragments of memory, relationships and everyday absurdity into something quietly cinematic.

At its centre is “Grindavik”, a shimmering, reflective track inspired by the Icelandic town shaped by recent volcanic activity. Bright acoustic guitars and steady drums carry a constantly shifting chord progression, mirroring the song’s central metaphor of a relationship under pressure and the hope that its fissures can eventually heal. Featuring Jordan Klassen and Kitt, the track captures the emotional tension that runs throughout the album.

Elsewhere, Bric-À-Brac Attack moves effortlessly between playful guitar-driven moments, lush arrangements and more introspective passages. “Miss Sunshine” brings infectious energy, while collaborations with Findlay Brown, Leeroy Stagger, Krystle Dos Santos and Tyson Mostenbocher add colour to an already eclectic record.

Former guitarist of Canadian darkwave band Moev and a cellist with the Vancouver Philharmonic Orchestra, Plain Mister Smith brings an unusually broad musical perspective to his songwriting. Yet Bric-a-Brac attack never feels overly calculated. Instead, it has the charm of something discovered rather than constructed.

Warm, strange, melodic and emotionally searching, Bric-À-Brac Attack is a record that rewards getting lost in its details. Plain Mister Smith may remain deliberately mysterious, but the music itself speaks with remarkable clarity.
