Hozho ‘ID’
The newest track ‘ID’, by Portuguese electronic music producer and DJ Hozho, is a wild outburst of energy that explores primitive instincts. The pulsating beats beckon listeners to go on a crazy musical adventure by vividly reflecting the raw core of human wants. Excerpted from his recently released EP, “PSYCHE,” he presents a fully immersive experience that challenges listeners to face the intricacy of their ideas, transcending the typical bounds of his style.
The Maverick Band ‘A Lonely Homeless Christmas’
The Maverick Band recorded ‘A Lonely Homeless Christmas’ in support of HRH Prince William’s initiative to end homelessness, with all proceeds going to homeless organizations. John Cristal conducted extensive research to understand the various facets of homelessness; this was incredibly disturbing and eye-opening. He is really hopeful that after hearing it, people would be inspired to support the many homeless charities, which carry out amazing work. All proceeds from the song’s sales will be donated to various big and small charities.
Attic‘O’Matic ‘Thoughtless’
‘Thoughtless’, the most recent song from Brighton’s five-piece Attic’O’Matic, is an engrossing offering. A distinctive combination of jazz, post-punk, and electronica creates a new and thrilling track. The song’s rhythmic shift occurs at the halfway point when the band’s post-punk edge is further explored with choppy guitar rhythms and live percussion that propel the song forward with a sense of driving urgency before the wonderfully atmospheric and floating finale brings the song to a close. It features the band’s most masterfully composed song to date.
Silas Funk ‘Backwards’
The new song by visionary musician Silas Funk, ‘Backwards’, is a powerful one. He displays his cutting-edge method of producing music, creating a sound that defies expectations. This exceptional music was created in the private setting of his home studio and happened by accident. ‘Backwards’ is an audacious statement of this progress, offering a taste of the creative mastery to come on his much-anticipated first album, ‘Sugarfixx.’
Jim Bell ‘22 Years Old’
The lively song ‘22 Years Old’, by London singer-songwriter Jim Bell, captures a distinctive fusion of folk and indie elements. The song demonstrates his talent for creating evocative, honest lyrics and comforting audio environments. His upbeat vocal performance gives the song a naturally catchy topline that contrasts with the thoughtful, melancholy lyrics.

GRAE ‘Hollywood’
On “Hollywood,” GRAE delivers a bittersweet farewell to fame and the facade of perfection, wrapping up 7 Minutes ’Til Heaven with an emotional punch. The track glitters with a soft, cinematic sheen—like the final scene of a film where the lights dim, and the curtain falls. GRAE’s ethereal vocals drift through the track, capturing the fragile balance between desire and disillusionment, as she reflects on the hollow allure of stardom. It’s a haunting, yet beautiful closer that showcases GRAE’s knack for turning melancholy into something utterly magnetic—like a star’s final bow, leaving you mesmerized and wanting more.
Layla Kaylif ‘God’s Keeper’
“God’s Keeper” is the kind of song that wraps around you like velvet and lingers long after it ends. Layla Kaylif delivers vocals that feel both celestial and deeply human, backed by a dreamy, slow-building production that feels tailor-made for your next main-character moment. It’s introspective, spiritual, and surprisingly catchy — like a pop confessional for your soul.
Chechii ‘Mi Paddi’
Chechii delivers the musical equivalent of a cultural potluck with “Mi Paddi”, and every flavor hits. Blending her rich Afrosoul vocals with Afrobeat percussion, pop hooks, and R&B smoothness, she cooks up a celebratory tune that’s impossible not to move to. With Kracktwist and Samza bringing extra heat, the track feels like a cross-continental jam session you wish you were invited to. Spoiler: you are—just press play.
Seb Adams ‘Guitar Hero III’
‘Guitar Hero III’ is Seb Adams at his most nostalgic and relatable, turning childhood memories and pixelated dreams into a bittersweet pop-punk anthem that hits right in the feels. With jangly guitars, a singalong chorus, and just the right amount of emotional chaos, it’s a track that feels like digging through your old bedroom and finding your favorite band tee still fits. Equal parts emo diary entry and rock-out catharsis, it’s a standout moment on Bittersweet Nostalgia that proves growing up doesn’t mean letting go of who you were.
Peter Doran ‘Never Say Goodbye’
“Never Say Goodbye” stands as a masterclass in lyrical depth and sonic atmosphere, revealing Peter Doran at his most contemplative and assured. The song flows like an ocean tide, pulling listeners into its maritime mythology with rich, folky textures and a stirring vocal performance. Anchored by the poignant closing line, “God Bless The Now And Evermore,” Doran captures both the ache of impermanence and the enduring power of presence.
