Kilder ‘Dusk Till Dawn’

If your weekday self needs a musical slap into weekend mode, Kilder’s “Dusk Till Dawn” delivers — a shimmering slice of club escapism that’s equal parts cathartic and cool. It kicks off like a slow burner but builds into a euphoric swirl of rave nostalgia, garage swagger, and techno polish. The video follows an office drone turned nightlife superhero, and honestly? Same. File this under: tracks that make you want to dance on a Tuesday and quit your job by Friday.

Charlie McDonald ‘Time’

If you’ve ever stumbled across an old photo and suddenly felt like time punched you in the gut — congratulations, you’re exactly the kind of human Charlie McDonald wrote “Time” for. Equal parts cinematic slow-burn and soul-baring diary entry, this song wraps you in lush piano swells and gentle R&B grooves while gently breaking your heart (in the best way). It’s the kind of track you’ll want to play on a rainy night, during a solo walk, or anytime you need to feel all your feelings at once. Think James Blake meets Labrinth, with a side of tearful nostalgia and just enough hope to keep you pressing replay.

Dailla ‘Garden’

Dailla’s “Garden” is the kind of song you play when you’re lying in a field of wildflowers, daydreaming about your crush texting back. With fluttering strings, soft piano, and lyrics that hit like a love letter soaked in poetry, it’s a gorgeous slow burn that feels like springtime wrapped in a song. Warning: may cause sudden emotional introspection and spontaneous sighing.

The fin. ‘Nebula’

“Nebula” is less of a song and more of a slow-motion lift-off into an emotional galaxy. The fin. mix retro soul with dreamy indie vibes, toss in some flute and sax magic, and voila—you’ve got the soundtrack to your next main-character moment. It’s breezy, it’s beautiful, and it might just make you believe in new beginnings (or at least update your playlist).

Jack Child ‘On The Road’

Jack Child’s latest single “On The Road” is the sonic version of driving with the windows down and a heavy heart. It’s deeply personal, hauntingly catchy, and laced with just enough bedroom-made weirdness to make it feel like your own private soundtrack. Sad banger? Emotional indie bop? Whatever it is—it works, and you’ll want it on repeat.

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.
