Microbes are Jacob Connor and Allister Ainsworth, an Auckland duo who dropped the single “City of Sails” on March 14, 2026. Built as an ode to Tāmaki Makaurau, the track threads Allister’s synth and keyboard obsessions (think Visage, Gary Numan) with Jacob’s husky, later-90s-tinged vocal style, producing a sound that…

“Reminder” is an instrumental duet by Joel ‘Veena’ Eisenkramer and Jasdeep Singh that marries the rare 20-stringed Indian slide guitar with the thunderous jori drum. Rooted in the late-morning raga Jaunpuri and retooled for Joel Veena’s 2025 album CARDINAL, this five-minute jugalbandi reads as a musical conversation and a compact…

Delta Fire is a four-piece alt-rock outfit from Glasgow, Kieron McManus (vocals/lead guitar), Liam McLaughlin (vocals/rhythm guitar), Aidan Spencer (bass), and Andrew Knox-Watson (drums), and “Eyes Burn Gold” is their thunderous second single, recorded at the legendary Chem19. Drawing from widescreen post-rock and 60s psych (think Caspian’s airiness colliding with…

British singer-songwriter Lana Crow returns with her third record, In Spirit, out since April 5, 2026, that maps out a compact seven-track map of modern life swinging between inward hush and full-throttle motion. “I Do” eases you in with soft thumping beats and a sparkling pulse, while Crow, with her…

Harry P, a Hastings DJ, drops “Hey Mr DJ” from TEJAS on April 3, 2026. Drawing from trance forebears Armin van Buuren, Sash, and Faithless, Harry builds euphoric, crowd-calibrated anthems from his home studio. Produced with Dan Radcliffe, the single reads like a love letter to the people who bring…

Effusion 35’s Eviction is a bruised, theatrical concept album born from a real-life landlord horror story, as Joe Napoleon turned trauma into a thirteen-track exorcism that landed in 2025 and now readies for a full-album blowout at Bonk’s Bar on May 30, 2026. It’s Philly-made, ragged and cinematic, bringing grim…

Ajoshd, a Texas-born spitfire, leans into cinematic swagger with “Ballin’ Outta Control” from the album TEJAS. Self-directed and visually bold, the new video builds a whole faux-sports media universe around his THC brand, with neon title cards, post-game locker-room scrums, a mock TXAN broadcast and courtside interviews, and it’s as…

Ron Zama, an Odense-born electronic upstart, dropped his latest single, “No Tomorrow,” on March 20, 2026. DIY to the core, Ron builds from the couch up in a humble home studio, making drums his north star and layering synths and bass until the track clicks. Influenced by high-energy acts like…

Tokyo-based producers KHROTO and U250 team up with Kiyo a.k.a. Nakid on “AGAKI,” an emotional, atmospheric hip-hop single that trades in mood over mayhem. Led by KHROTO’s tactile, lo-fi-leaning production, the track folds introspective lyricism into immersive, cinematic soundscapes. It carves a private room for reflection, showcasing the inner struggle,…

London-based Luc Rushmere stakes a claim with “Bonfire,” a widescreen indie-electronic single built for big rooms and late-night epiphanies. He swaps the gloss of his past EDM alias (which once pulled in 900,000 monthly listeners) for raw, unprocessed vocals over synth leviathans, and despite having no label, agent, or outside…

Boey, an Ipoh-born singer-songwriter now based in the UK, unveils The False Prince, an album built to showcase a wispy falsetto and a songwriter stepping into darker territory. Packed with intimate confessionals and indictments of inequality, the record folds last year’s moodier experiments like “Sinners” into a broader arc that…

Marcus Christ returns with “Get The Haters Back”, the second single from his album The American Pharaoh. Following the momentum of lead cut “Don’t Wait,” this Hollywood-recorded track (engineered by Georgii at The Room Studios on Melrose) tightens Marcus’s identity into a defiant, cinematic hip-hop statement. The American Pharaoh frames…
