Bru-C - Twice
The Afterdark Movement rapper and Don’t Flop star turns up the introspection with this laid-back number that features jazzy old-school production from Aokid.
Lost Pets - Diamonds and Cobblestones
Formed in May 2014 following an advert for untalented girls who can’t play their instruments, they’ve put a handful of demos online with this wistful slice of melancholic pop being the pick of the bunch.
Garton - February 27th (For Chloe)
Ahead of the release of his Class of 2010 album, the rapper has released this heartfelt tribute to a friend who sadly took her own life.
Kagoule - Gush
If they’re planning on leaving songs this good off their debut album, it’s frightening to think what they’ll actually unleash when it finally drops. In the meantime, this chugging slice of alt-rock is enough to whet appetites.
Prysm - Made In Germany
This electronic three-piece have clearly been pigging out on New Order and Underworld if this retro-sounding dance stomper is anything to go by.
ONE$oul - Life
The producer-slash-singer wanders around town in the video for this soulful electro number, exchanging money for something, but what exactly? Only one way to find out…
Liam Bailey - Villain ft. A$AP Ferg
He’s been making waves in the States with the US release of his album Definitely Now, and this scuzzed-up retro soul stomper shows exactly why. It’s good to have him back and sounding defiant.
Philip George - Wish You Were Mine
Originally gaining prominence through word of mouth after being uploaded to SoundCloud, this nineties house throwback featuring a Stevie Wonder sample couldn’t topple the might of Kanye and Macca, but getting to number two in the charts is no mean feat.
