“War Within (Radio Edit)” - HZPROD

Every once in a while, a hip-hop track comes along that doesn’t just slap through the speakers — it feels like a statement. War Within (Radio Edit), the latest cut from Bosnian-born, New York-raised producer Hadzilla (HZPROD), is one of those. Packing the raw lyrical fire of Flatbush Zombies’ Zombie Juice and the razor-sharp delivery of West Coast heavyweights ShoeGang, this track doesn’t just hit hard — it cuts deep.

“Smash Hits” - Stephanie Happening  

Stephanie Happening is not here to play small. With their latest single Smash Hits, the London-based alt-pop disruptor has unleashed a track that feels like both a battle cry and a victory lap — a song that dares you to stand taller, move louder, and take up space unapologetically.

“Underwater City” - Florent C.

Every now and then, an album comes along that feels less like a collection of songs and more like an environment — a place you can step into and get lost in. Belgian artist Florent C.’s new record Underwater City is exactly that kind of project. It’s not just music, it’s an ecosystem.

“The Good Road” - Audren  

Some songs arrive like letters from the soul — intimate, vulnerable, yet universal enough to belong to everyone who listens. The Good Road, the latest single from French-born songwriter, novelist, and self-proclaimed “good witch” Audren, is exactly that kind of track. It’s tender and nostalgic, but also powerful in its call to rediscover beauty, solidarity, and trust in a world that feels increasingly fractured.

“Look Me In the Eye” - Edie Yvonne

There’s something kind of poetic about dropping your boldest track yet on your 17th birthday. Most teenagers are still figuring out who they are, but Edie Yvonne? She’s turning self-doubt and growing pains into anthems, and her latest single Look Me in the Eye is the clearest sign yet that she’s stepping into a whole new lane.

“Flat Circle” - HMRC

There’s nothing polite about HMRC — and that’s exactly what makes them essential. The Newcastle four-piece have been building a reputation as one of the sharpest, most politically biting bands to rise out of the UK’s current chaos, and their latest single, Flat Circle, shows a new side of that rage: the existential one.

“Lost & Found 1981-1985” - Personal Column

There’s a certain kind of magic when music you thought was lost to the passage of time suddenly resurfaces decades later — not as a nostalgia trip, but as a reminder that great songs never really age. That’s exactly the case with Lost & Found 1981–1985, the long-overdue collection from Liverpool’s Personal Column, a band that once seemed on the brink of making it big but ended up slipping through the cracks of the industry machine.

“Who I Am” - Big Rome

One thing you can always expect from Big Rome, is raw honesty — the kind that doesn’t just touch the surface but digs down into the bones. His latest EP, Mentally Disturbed / Scarred 4 Life (out September 11, 2025), is exactly that: a heavy, unflinching look at the scars we carry, the demons we fight, and the resilience it takes to keep standing.

“Forget Me (You Won't)” - Eclectic Whiz

Some tracks exist to be streamed in the background. Others demand your full attention. Eclectic Whiz’s Forget Me (You Won’t) belongs to the latter camp — a sprawling, unorthodox, cinematic beast of a single that feels less like a pop song and more like a coded transmission from another realm.

“Morning Coffee” - Elly Darrall

There’s something magical about the songs that weren’t supposed to exist — the ones written at the last possible moment, almost by accident. Elly Darrall’s Morning Coffee is exactly that kind of song, and maybe that’s why it feels so raw, unfiltered, and utterly human. Written the night before a studio session and recorded in just two takes, the track carries a kind of fragile urgency — as if the feeling was too heavy to be bottled up for long.

“Eyes” - SickRichard

London’s SickRichard aren’t messing around with their sixth single. Eyes doesn’t creep in quietly — it smacks you in the face from the first bar, a storm front of urgency and atmosphere that feels like being pulled into a black hole of alt-rock intensity. It’s heavy, it’s haunted, but at its core, it’s also deeply human — a song about fear, rejection, vulnerability, and the bruised process of learning to trust yourself again.
