Rosie Lee
Do you take sugar? Cos here's a sweet one. Rosie Lee is both a former lover, and cockney rhyming slang for 'Cup of Tea'.

Someone New
This is an original song inspired by artist Nate Burris's personal heartbreak story in the spring of 2020. Its emotive and warming and rich in clarity. We really like this track.
Falling For You
Neil Frances new single ‘Falling For You’ is synth paradise fuelled on glitter and gold…an awesome listen. He said “Lyrically, this track is about sleepless nights lying awake thinking about that special someone. It’s about falling so hard for someone that you find yourself stunned and stupefied simply by the way they move.”
Livin' In A Dream
Wintry feels embedded within crisp guitar plucking and authentic backing vocal riffs, which introduce a defining lead vocal performance by Will Lazenby, who combines contemporary electronic r&b elements, with some more traditional folk influences, to produce a unique and warming sound in this track. Called Livin' In A Dream.
Upside Down (feat. Trenton)
Dance Yourself Clean started in Seattle (2013) as an indie dance party that grew into the first touring dance party in North America. After moving to Los Angeles to expand the party and create their own record label (Lights & Music Collective) and producing for other artists for years, "DYC" decided to turn their party into a music project. Releasing original music and remixes using the party's moniker "Dance Yourself Clean".
Elephant
Following on from the enormous success of their recently released singles ‘Every Day Special’ and ‘Golden Mine’ in recent months, the former of which gathered airplay on BBC Radio Wales, Kerrang Radio, Soho Radio and Amazing Radio UK, as well as being added to the ‘Just Discovered’ section of MTV New Generation Italy, Italian outfit Piqued Jacks have now returned to continue the support for their upcoming new album ‘Synchronizer’ with the soaring new offering ‘Elephant’, out on the 20th January via INRI.
Medusa
Andreww brings a refreshing new outlook to music creation and composition, his focus is centred purely on the song and not on a pre-existing obligation to any particular genre, resulting in a wholly unique soundscape that’s entirely original and authentically his. Embracing his vulnerability and sharing it with the world, Andreww bares his soul in ‘Medusa’ via intimate and introspective lyricism that is both deeply personal and widely relatable. Paired with complex and intricate production, ‘Medusa’ sounds like an epic, nostalgic journey from one peak of pop music history to the next and stands as a testament to Andreww's declaration of love for music as an art form.
Don't Rush To Get Old
“Don’t Rush To Get Old” is the second single from Munroe’s collaboration with producer Benjamin Schwab, of the bands Drugdealer and Golden Daze. She wrote this song at the end of something that meant a lot. Sitting down to write what she thought would be a song with some edge or some regret or bargaining, all that came out of Munroewas this well-wishing. Just love.
Yellow Lines
Born in Manchester, England, Tommy Newport relocated to the United States with his family at six years old where he bounced around from Dallas to Seattle before settling down in Wichita, Kansas. After picking up the guitar as a teenager to ease the boredom that comes with the idyllic, but monotonous life in the Midwest, Newport submerged himself into music and hasn’t looked back since.
There Again
A sensory-driven guitar track detailing the bittersweet memories of night drives with an old lover, "There Again" captures the bittersweet nostalgia of the memories of happiness in a past relationship, and the hopefulness that you'll be able to feel that happiness again in your future.
Dead Boys
FLØRE writes songs “to give this weird existence a meaning”. Feeling like an alien for most of her life, she spent her childhood playing guitar, singing and dreaming of the universe. She’s inspired by the darkness of growing up, the beautifully broken and the feeling of what it must be like when life begins
All in Blue
A love song inspired by the bowerbird, who spends years constructing strange and elaborate nests out of stones and discarded spoons, and straws - often all in blue.
Feelin
Lu’Ginnae is a singer/songwriter from Canyon Lake, CA who uses her smoky and seductive vocal tone to intertwine lush harmonies into her songs that is reminiscent of some of the great R&B vocalists that have come before her. Inland Empire based singer/songwriter Lu’ginnae plans on making an impact in the music industry with the reveal of her first-ever single “Feelin”. Lu’ginnae uses her smoky and seductive vocal tone to intertwine lush harmonies over pulsing synth pads and 808 drums.
Sunburnt
Ornate new single Sunburnt is summery and feel-good classic in the making, with crashing cymbals and big chorus hooks and melodies. This track transports us to the hazy summer months while we are stuck in a more glum wintery January.
Cruel Intentions
Cruel Intentions, the brand new single by Elio Deejay and EMIAH is an up tempo future house club track about emotional manipulation and being led on by a romantic partner. The dark subject and storyline of the song gives reference to the 1998 film of the same title and has echoes of late 90’s eurodance as well as nods to current dance titans such as Jax Jones and Meduza. The new release comes straight off EMIAH’s latest single, ‘Future Self’ which debuted to No.1 on Submithub’s Worldwide Charts.
All I Never Wanted
Hunter’s evolution into Modern-R&B, Soul, and Pop-music allowed him to introduce another element to this union and extend the range of his talent even further. His use of his multi-cultural approach to music enables Hunter to challenge the boundaries of existing genres - utilizing vivid memories to tell stories, which explore the depths of his mind and heart.
Colors In My Dreams
Qwiet Type is a solo artist, songwriter and producer of his own music. While his genre has been tough to nail down with his music as a whole, his songs display a fusion of indie, alternative, pop, funk, synth pop, experimental, electronica, new wave and even a touch of hip hop.
gregory
The recording of gregory seeks to capture the raw emotion of the music, including only a close-micd classical guitar for most of the song that rises into an emotional build along with a vintage miniature pump organ and a small choir of voices in the second chorus, only to die back out into a somber guitar once again. The track was recorded in a bedroom in Nashville TN and we hope that the intimacy of the space translates in the recording.
Animal
Ro Bergman is an Austrian singer songwriter whose indie spirit transcends musical borders, showcasing his ability to marry modern, alt-indie rock to a pop sensibility. With the release of his début EP comes sharp lyrical depth, and euphoric hymnal musings. New Horizon is a full blooded release for each season, packed with wonderment and longing, fragile moments and veritable pulls that are delivered boldly throughout the record.
