Toronto-based production duo Keys N Krates cast their net across the Atlantic Ocean for their latest track, “Original Classic”. The new vibrant, feel-good single features British rap titan Chip, electro-R&B newcomer Marbl, and Three 6 Mafia hip-hop legend Juicy J. The electro-tinged reggaeton riddim is bursting at the seams with worldwide flavour. Juicy J’s seasoned and perfected flow shines as he spits […]

For a little under a year now, mononymed producer NICOLAS has been putting out a series of singles that could loosely be described as lo-fi house. Often compared to the likes of DJ Seinfeld or Ross From Friends, NICOLAS’ creations are often steeped in nostalgia, wistfully looking back to the generation that came before. For […]

Following on from last year’s loosies “Imaginary Friends”, “Ghostin’” and “Martys”, Walsall-born rapper, singer and producer Wesley Joseph’s debut project, Ultramarine, has arrived with eight tracks that showcase his star potential.  Supported by lead single “Patience”, featuring fellow Walsall native Jorja Smith, its accompanying video, directed by Joseph, is a cinematic piece which sees the pair ride down a lonely road in a vintage car before ultimutely […]

Italian producer No Label is part of a burgeoning scene in Italy, blending rap, trap and glitch influences into something futuristic, but so mercurial that it’s difficult to pin down. His latest creation is “TORAZINE”, a full-bodied combination of lurching bass, experimental tweaks and vocal snippets that threaten to tip over into the uncanny valley. The […]

The phrase “these trying times” has been so over-used it’s passed right through meaninglessness and into self-parody—a stock phrase that now feels too crass to even to slap onto the bottom of a low-effort marketing campaign. The sad and frustrating truth, however, is that it remains true, which is of course something you can say about most […]

For the past few years, Paris-born producer Onelight has been exploring the connections between hip-hop, R&B and dance music, working with everyone from electro funk legend Egyptian Lover to Stones Throw signee Benny Sings. And if new single “Sugilite” is anything to go by, his upcoming Emporium album looks like it’ll take those experiments even further. Smudging together […]

A few years ago Nick Murphy took a break from the Chet Faker moniker, opting to release music under his birth name for the years that followed. Last year, however, he returned to the name and we’ve since had three singles as Chet Faker, including his most recent endeavour, “Whatever Tomorrow”. Since reviving the Chet […]

South London sonic auteur Cleto Maréz has been crafting beats and soundscapes for a little while now. His Sonic Dissertation on Black Reality for Black Discourse—which stirred together City Girls and Slick Rick with soundbites from the likes of Toni Morrison and Darcus Howe, should give you a pretty good primer of what Marez is about—but before you do that, […]

Just last month, Brazilian duo Deekapz (fka DKVPZ) released their Jewel Gems EP, a collection of off-cuts from the archives that deserved to see the light of day, but never quite fit on a release before. It proved a sage move and brought them acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic, bolstering the respect and support they’d built up […]

This Friday, March 5, Vancouver-based musician and producer wzrdryAV will release his expansive double album, Midnight Visions, via Brighton-based imprint, party and podcast called Accidental Meetings. The new project will feature 20 tracks split over two sides, with one side filled with fuzzy, dub techno-influenced cuts and the other with beatless, more ambient creations. Ahead of the release, he’s been teasing out […]
