Ace Rose ‘Strong’
With “Strong,” Ace Rose brings a fresh sound to the hip-hop scene, blending rap with rock influences in a track that champions self-confidence and perseverance.

Sæfari – ‘Wolfheart’
Sæfari’s debut album, Wolfheart, is an eloquent fusion of alternative, folk, and indie rock, brought to life with emotional sincerity and a keen sense of musicality. The production, helmed by Sigurður Guðmundsson, perfectly balances raw, heartfelt expression with lush, layered arrangements featuring strings, Hammond organ, and shimmering synthesizers. Sæfari’s voice—both tender and powerful—carries the listener through songs steeped in heartbreak and yearning, each track revealing a new layer of vulnerability. The influences of Nick Cave and PJ Harvey are present but never overwhelming, as Sæfari’s sound feels uniquely his own. This is a debut that establishes Sæfari as a deeply compelling artist with stories that linger long after the final note.
Porcelain ‘The Opportunist’
Porcelain’s ‘The Opportunist’ is a high-energy exploration of transformation, brimming with dramatic intensity. From its gripping chord progression to its explosive guitar riffs, the single expertly blends raw alt-rock grit with the sophistication of progressive time signatures. The track feels like a journey, reflecting its theme of shedding one’s old self and embracing change. Frontman Curtis Longstaff’s emotive delivery captures both vulnerability and determination, while the band’s tight-knit chemistry ensures every dynamic shift hits with precision. Fans of Muse and Radiohead will find much to love in this ambitious and compelling release.
X REVOLUTION – ‘DICTATORS PRAYER’
X Revolution’s ‘Dictators Prayer’ is a gripping and unapologetic exploration of manipulation and control, brought to life through brooding production and razor-sharp lyricism. The track’s raw guitar riffs and stripped-back synths create a tense, haunting soundscape that mirrors its themes of psychological warfare. With commanding vocals and provocative lyrics, X Revolution critiques the seductive yet destructive nature of power, inviting listeners to reflect on their own susceptibility to influence. Comparable to the industrial grit of HEALTH and the introspection of Kendrick Lamar, ‘Dictators Prayer’ cements X Revolution as a fearless artist willing to confront humanity’s darker truths.
miso808 ‘misirlou’
miso808’s, bedtime stories mp3, is a genre-bending debut that transforms childhood nostalgia into an introspective, cinematic experience. Rooted in modern alternative music, the EP fuses indie, alt-pop, and R&B with bilingual storytelling and cultural duality. The highlight, “misirlou,” reimagines the iconic 60s surf-rock hit into a sultry, empowering anthem, with Eastern musical influences and bold bilingual verses that radiate ambition and originality. It’s a fresh, immersive project that blurs the boundaries of music, literature, and art.
