Emerging electronic music sensation niina has dropped her latest single, 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun,' offering fans a third preview of her forthcoming debut album, 'Honestly, Does This Smell Off to You?' set to release on August 8th. This new track follows the same energetic and carefree vibe as her previous single 'Summer High,' celebrating the joys of spontaneous fun with friends. Reflecting on the inspiration behind 'girls just wanna have fun,' niina shares,

“This song came from a period of my life where I was living in London with my close friends, and we'd just chat random shit to each other all day long. It was a time in my life where quite literally nothing made sense but everything just felt fun and right. It’s about going out with the girls and just having a good time and not really caring about anything. The future will sort itself out so we might as well just have a good time in the here and now.”

niina's debut album promises to be a vibrant mix of lighthearted and profound themes, portraying the journey of a twenty-something navigating life's ups and downs. Her music, characterised by unfiltered creativity and raw ambition, blends alt-pop origins with a strong dance music influence. 'Honestly, Does This Smell Off to You?' is a confessional and empowering album, created entirely by niina in her bedroom, inviting listeners to sing, dance, cry, and embrace life's imperfections. Delving into her personal struggles, niina reveals,

“For the last four years I’ve been on a real journey of real bad lows at times, but those moments taught me a lot about myself,” referring to the depression she experienced in her mid-twenties. The album’s visuals and videos feature a recurring furry figure named ‘Patrick,’ described by Niina as a “harrowing yet curious monster” symbolizing the challenges everyone faces. Despite these dark moments, Niina found empowerment and a new perspective on life, aiming to inspire others to live in the moment and accept that “everything will be fine in the end.”

To celebrate the release of 'Honestly, Does This Smell Off to You?' niina will play her debut headline show at Rae’s on August 8th.

With her distinctive style, combining pop sensibilities with dancefloor euphoria, niina has been making waves in the underground music scene and with the release of 'Honestly, Does This Smell Off to You?' she will push herself to new heights.

WORDS BY BEN BROYD

PHOTOGRAPHY BY HARRY MCCULLOCH

One of the most exciting forces in the new wave of British electronic music, west-London born-and-bred p-rallel has been tearing it up for years. With his unique approach to production, and live sets that are fire from start to finish, he has been channeling London’s spirit in everything he does. Recently bringing this spirit to a global scale, there is a magic to p-rallel. Dance music runs through his blood, and everything else that runs through him is a passion to keep driving the scene forward.

WE F*CK WITH: SAIMING

Having first arrived on the scene in 2022, South-London native Saiming has been romancing with the genres that raised him amongst a community of like minded individuals looking to reimagine the sounds of grime. Splicing and fusing the genre’s dextrous flows with soulful neo-jazz production, Saiming is the poster-child for how community and collaboration are driving the UK underground scene, which he showcases through his sophomore project, ‘what’s the alternative?’

When I first got off my call with Saiming, a warm and gentle presence at the other end of the zoom, there was one phrase that had begun running laps around my mind; it was that Saiming has made ‘a house a home’ with his music and most recent project what’s the alternative?. While this phrase is more likely to muster images of a wooden pyrocraft sign from TK Maxx or kitschy ‘Gin O’Clock’ memorabilia, than it is a rapper who’s creating music inspired by the sounds of grime, drill and neo-jazz; it fits. Through music, community, and collaboration Saiming is an artist reshaping the architecture of his corner of the scene. Not just building a name for himself, but building something others can step into. He tells me candidly, “there's so much more that you can make when people are putting their minds together”.

GET TO KNOW: JERUB

It’s been hard to miss the passion and depth of rising star JERUB, with his effortlessly soulful vocals paired with poetically powerful lyricism, he has cemented himself as an artist to watch over the last few years.

Amassing over 65 million streams across two EP’s, JERUB has gained major support and recognition from BBC Radio 1’s Greg James, Madonna, Tom Grennan and a plethora of magazines and radio stations across the globe. Beyond his social presence, JERUB has proved his musical craft and experience through jaw-dropping performances, supporting respected artists including JP Cooper, Gavin James, and Victory Ray whilst also selling out countless headline shows.

His new single Deeper gives us an authentic and raw insight into JERUB’s emotional world, an undeniably powerful song about “Showing up for someone, not just when things are good, but when they’re at their lowest. Loving without conditions—through the mess, the doubt, the days when they don’t even feel worthy of it”. Produced by the industry-renowned Edd Holloway (Tom Grennan, Lewis Capaldi) the two found a spark of passion and interest from a voice note on JERUB’s phone, leading to the song’s creation.

We recently caught up with JERUB to hear more about his journey to get here, his new single Deeper, Nottingham, his upcoming headline tour & more…

GET TO KNOW: KOJ

When we think of the UK rap scene, we might assume that our attention is best left exclusively to the genre’s nucleus, London. But, we would argue that only having eyes for this portion of the scene is like watching just the first five minutes of your favorite film on its 50th rewatch; you know it's great, but can you really say you've experienced the whole thing?
While there’s been a steady stream of names rising from the North over the last few years, notably Nemzzz, Aitch, Meekz, and Aystar, it’s been left to a few legacy names - think Bugzy Malone - to switch the full beams on their cities rather than on their output alone.
While rap fans are gradually evolving, and their priorities with them, it doesn’t change the fact that, at its core, rap has always been about rebellion and highlighting the gritty realities of UK cities. Now enter Liverpool-hailing rapper KOJ, an artist wearing his city like the proudest of sportsmen and on a mission to tell both his own story and that of his hometown. On his ascent, KOJ has brandished a stark and slick pen, one that allows him to blend deep emotional storytelling with a level of lyrical dexterity fit for the UK’s main stage.
Now, releasing his debut EP, Villain With A Conscience, we caught up with KOJ to discuss the story behind the project, the importance of emotional vulnerability in LY, and the rising Liverpool rap scene he’s hoping to spearhead.

DIGITAL COVER 003: LEGZDINA

On a crisp morning in Shoreditch, Legzdina brought the bold energy that defines her music and style. She discussed her debut EP, Celestial Girl and Her Milky Way, a fearless mix of drum’n’bass, sung-rap, and poetic storytelling. The project captures her journey as an artist forging her own path. In conversation, she reflected on the personal stories shaping her music, her community-focused open-mic series Say It Back, and her drive to inspire through art. With ethereal vocals and experimental production, she’s pushing boundaries while eyeing her next milestone - representing Latvia at Eurovision -all while staying true to her belief in individuality and connection.

GET TO KNOW: HUMANE THE MOON

Rising East London artist Humane The Moon returned with Debris Joice, his eagerly awaited second EP, showcasing the new singles “The Curb” and “Humane Error.” This project marked a milestone in Humane The Moon's journey, pushing his genre-blurring sound into fresh sonic landscapes while retaining the intense, alternative energy that fans love.
