Raleigh Ritchie, everyone’s favourite pop-R&B crooner/actor from Bristol, is back with his brand new single, “Aristocrats”, which is his first new release since 2018’s “Time In A Tree“. Produced by Chris Loco, who provides an earworm concoction of cantering percussion, orchestral strings, and head-bopping bass, Raleigh flips the script on what some might deem to be ‘true’ Britishness.

‘Sprinkle Cake’ is a term you have probably seen floating around the internet over the past week or so. You’ve probably even seen some of your favourite artists and social media personalities with square baking trays layered with white frosting, clad with rainbow sprinkles. The man responsible for all of that is Tiane Stewart, a […]
When Croydon DJ, producer and multi-instrumentalist Joe Turner self-released his debut single “Atmosphere” last year the results were immediate and huge, quickly finding fans in high places and ultimately landing him a deal first with Jamz Supernova’s Future Bounce label and then a global deal with Caroline International’s LG105 imprint. Now he’s ready to unveil “Malibak” […]
Mean Streets Records boss and radio regular Trends has been plotting the next release on his label, the Trilogy Vol. 1 EP, as well as a vinyl sampler that includes a track from rising producer Silas and a collaboration between himself and P Jam. To kick things off he’s today revealed the P Jam collab, “Truth Or […]
South London has created yet another masterpiece. What Kinda Music is the latest collaborative effort from singer/guitarist Tom Misch and drummer Yussef Dayes, the record’s ambiguity and freedom reigning heavy throughout. Taking a very loose interpretation of their respective jazz backgrounds, the two musicians partner on an album that heralds no genre—it is just simply art—and […]
At the risk of yet again bringing up coronavirus when talking about music, we do owe a huge debt to all the artists and DJs that have stepped up to keep our spirits lifted during quarantine season. Whether it’s clashes, freestyles or live mixes, they’ve all helped keep our sanity (relatively) in tact through the power […]
Using art and creativity as therapy is a tried and tested elixir — and certainly one to be encouraged — and for Bristol rapper Taurri it was literally a life-saver. His new album XIII was written in the wake of severe mental health issues that culminated in a night of excess that almost took his life. Thankfully, […]
Break-ups are never pleasant, often traumatic, but with time comes healing and, most importantly, perspective. That’s the theme of Miller Blue‘s emotionally-charged new single “Sunflower” (taken from his impending EP of the same name). Over a smooth, almost acid jazz-styled instrumentation (taking much inspiration from heart-melters like Frank Ocean and Chet Faker), the London-based crooner’s […]
Although Coronavirus has warped all concept of time, it was only a couple of months ago that radio regular Boardgame James and his Handsome Boys compatriot Moleskin dropped off their collaborative debut project And The Award Goes To (and an emotional mix for Complex Sessions to boot). Now he’s back with a solo offering, also dropping via […]
A couple of months ago, London-based rapper and singer Bexey dropped his fourth EP Blood, Magic & Diamonds — a six-track showcase of his fluid delivery style that smudges the lines between singing and rapping. Today, he’s revisiting the project to give some dramatic visual treatment to key track “Flatline”. Bathed in heavy rain and backed by a […]
