Danxgerous

Ireland-based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Danxgerous draws on her Italian and Czech heritage to create music that sits somewhere between indie rock, dreamy pop and contemporary indie-folk. Her debut album Old Soul arrives later this year, exploring themes of fear, responsibility, nature and the search for meaning through richly textured, cinematic songwriting.

Latest single ‘Clairvoyant’ offers a haunting preview of the record, venturing into the liminal space between certainty and the unknown. Blending experimental rock, psychedelic flourishes and poetic lyricism, the track reflects on life’s contradictions with hypnotic rhythms and ethereal melodies, inviting listeners into a world where introspection and mystery exist side by side.

MAY.AH

Originally from West Yorkshire and now based in London, vocalist MAY.AH combines her background in jazz with a love of rave culture and soundsystem music to create an immersive electronic sound. Drawing on both worlds, she balances soulful vocal performances with atmospheric production.

Her debut solo single ‘FEEEL’ is a dreamy drum and bass track inspired by the sense of freedom, connection and community found on the dancefloor. Built around shimmering textures and driving rhythms, the song encourages listeners to lose themselves in the music and embrace the joy of the moment.

Beverly Hell

Singer-songwriter, producer and visual artist Beverly Hell continues to expand her cinematic musical world with her latest two-track release Chess. Based between Los Angeles and London, she combines immersive synth textures with emotionally charged songwriting inspired by alternative pop and contemporary R&B.

Lead single ‘Queen In Your Castle’ explores the strategies and compromises people make in pursuit of affection. Layering pulsing electronics, soaring vocal samples and intimate lyricism, the track examines relationships as a game of shifting power, serving as a thematic companion to her recent EP Alice In Underland.

June Holland

Northwich singer-songwriter June Holland blends alt-pop, soul, blues and Americana into music rooted in emotional honesty and timeless songwriting. Her self-produced debut EP Out of the Darkness and Into the Light chronicles a journey through one of the most challenging periods of her life, ultimately emerging with hope and self-acceptance.

Opening track ‘Mouldy Orange’ reflects on June’s experience of receiving an ADHD diagnosis as an adult and grieving the misunderstood child she once was. Combining delicate strings, layered harmonies and cinematic production, the song builds from quiet introspection towards a cathartic celebration of embracing every part of yourself.

Gay Animal

Queer non-binary artist Gay Animal uses music and performance art to explore the relationship between queerness, ecology and the natural world. Originally from Austria, their work invites audiences to reconsider ideas around gender and identity through creative, participatory storytelling.

Latest single ‘I’m a Gay Animal’ challenges the harmful misconception that queerness is somehow “unnatural” by celebrating its existence throughout the animal kingdom. Produced by Stergin, the track is both joyful and thought-provoking, encouraging listeners to view queerness as something deeply rooted within nature itself.

Fifi Tal

North London singer-songwriter Fifi Tal creates empowering pop-rock inspired by artists including P!nk and Paramore. Combining powerful vocals with honest, relatable songwriting, her music explores resilience, confidence and embracing individuality.

Latest single ‘Wanna Be Me’ is an uplifting anthem about staying true to yourself rather than seeking approval from others. Built around infectious hooks and an empowering message, the track celebrates authenticity and the freedom that comes from embracing exactly who you are.

Anna May

Award-winning folk artist Anna May returns with ‘Crying at Erewhon’, a sharp-witted new single inspired by the aftermath of a breakup. Known for pairing heartfelt storytelling with memorable melodies, her latest release showcases another side of her songwriting.

Contrasting bittersweet subject matter with bright, hook-filled production, ‘Crying at Erewhon’ blends biting humour and self-awareness into an irresistibly catchy breakup anthem. While inspired by the golden sounds of classic California pop, the finished track embraces a fresh contemporary feel that perfectly complements Anna’s signature lyrical wit.

Beck Pocket

Manchester duo Beck Pocket continue to blur the lines between electronic pop and nostalgic internet culture with new single ‘Ephemeral’. Formed by Viv and Jasper, the pair create playful, glitch-infused soundscapes inspired by shared digital memories, obsolete technology and the joyful chaos of online life.

Written as a reflection on the strange comfort of revisiting forgotten corners of the internet, ‘Ephemeral’ combines airy verses with infectious dance-pop choruses and shimmering synth grooves. The track marks the beginning of a new creative chapter while continuing the duo’s fascination with nostalgia, memory and digital ephemera.

Stephanie Seymour

New York musician Stephanie Seymour has enjoyed a career spanning several acclaimed bands before embarking on her solo journey. Her latest EP Grand Isle combines soaring melodies, lush harmonies and contributions from an impressive collection of collaborators, creating a rich and reflective listening experience.

Lead single ‘Harvest Time’ was inspired by Stephanie’s maternal family history in northern Maine, honouring the resilience of previous generations who built new lives under difficult conditions. Blending heartfelt storytelling with warm, organic instrumentation, the track offers a moving reflection on heritage, gratitude and perseverance.

abigail alma

London-based singer-songwriter Abigail Alma describes her evolving sound as “post-folk”, combining traditional folk songwriting with ambient textures and alternative pop experimentation. Influenced by artists including Leonard Cohen and Wilco, she continues to push the boundaries of her musical identity.

Her latest release ‘PRAY/PREY/PRAY’ explores the tension between beauty and darkness, inspired by the artist’s desire to move beyond the delicate, ethereal image often projected onto her. Embracing unsettling imagery alongside adventurous production, the track celebrates the freedom found in rejecting expectations and embracing every side of yourself.
