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.

Campana ‘ROPE’
Need something that hits the soul and the speakers? Campana’s “ROPE” is exactly that. Using love as a lifeline, the track wraps emotional vulnerability in lush production and a hook that begs for a slow head nod. It’s therapy disguised as a jam, with Dave Shanaé serving heavenly vocals and Dave B. dropping the kind of verse that deserves a rewind. This isn’t just a song—it’s your new late-night soundtrack.
Stephan Folkes ‘Somebody Out There’
With “Somebody Out There,” Stephan Folkes channels a thrilling blend of alternative rock, R&B, and soul into a spine-tingling tale of youthful curiosity gone awry. The track feels like a short film in audio form—rich in atmosphere, with vocals that carry both tension and tenderness. It’s a standout release from an artist who’s turning his unique life journey into a powerful, genre-defying musical identity.
Jake Exavier – ‘Just What U Like’
Jake Exavier’s ‘Just What U Like’ is a slow-burning R&B track that succeeds through its emotional clarity and polished production. Self-penned and subtly nostalgic, the song sees Exavier tapping into his influences — Chris Brown, PartyNextDoor, even shades of Donell Jones — while maintaining a personal, grounded tone. His vocals are restrained yet expressive, delivering a message of romantic certainty with both warmth and swagger. What elevates the single is its sonic craftsmanship: producers Rochad Holiday and Curtis “Sauce” Wilson lend a classic ’90s texture that feels fresh when filtered through Exavier’s contemporary lens. It’s not flashy, but that’s exactly the point — ‘Just What U Like’ makes its mark with nuance, sincerity, and an artist in full control of his sound.
Mimi’s Revenge ‘Dire’
‘Dire’ is like diving into a neon-lit dream where everything feels dangerously close to falling apart — and you love it. Mimi’s Revenge takes you on a ride with their sultry vocals, sharp beats, and a vibe that’s equal parts mysterious and magnetic. It’s the perfect anthem for those who thrive in the shadows, daring to feel it all with a slick, addictive soundtrack to match.
The Straights ‘Remedy’
If you ever wondered what happens when you combine garage rock grit with indie swagger, “Remedy” by The Straights has the answer. From the first crunch of the guitar to the final bang of the drums, this track is pure, unfiltered rock ‘n’ roll magic. The song’s lyrics are unapologetically raw, capturing the messy pursuit of healing through sound and sweat. It’s loud, it’s messy, and it’s everything you need when life gets chaotic — a perfect, rebellious anthem for anyone who just needs to let loose and rock out.
