Joey Valence & Brae return with ‘WASSUP,’ a wild new collab with JPEGMAFIA that mixes 90s rap, breakbeats and pure mayhem. It’s their first release since NO HANDS and sets the tone for their next era.

Oculate UK's round-up of all the highlights in new music releases from the past week. Featuring: Little Simz, Wunderhorse, LULU., Niko B & more.

Niko B’s back, and he’s in love. Kind of. Hairclips is a synthy, sunlit track that swaps the ends for infatuation. It’s light on its feet, heavy on feeling, and lands with the charm only he can pull off.

Candy hits you with attitude. Claudia Valentina repurposes that iconic “Milkshake” line into a moody, bass‑heavy anthem about power and self‑assurance.

Jess Young has dropped Lost In You at exactly the right moment; not by chance, but by design. The London artist, producer and astrologer chose to release the track during May’s full flower moon in Scorpio, a time linked to endings and emotional release. The timing lines up with the song’s message: letting go, digging deep, and trying to balance risk with reality.

Currently moving in his own lane, driving forwards to the sound of ‘KT.FM’, the Battersea-based artist has channelled his musical vision...

Nia Archives launches her own label, Up Ya Archives, with a punchy debut single “Get Loose” featuring Bristol’s rising jungle artist Cheetah. Combining soca energy with bass-heavy jungle rhythms, it marks the start of a new chapter in her mission to spotlight new-gen junglism.

JD Cliffe’s debut EP ‘Misfit’ opens with intention. This isn’t a project trying to win over everyone or play it safe. It’s a body of work that swings between grime, punk, R&B, and indie without asking for permission. JD Cliffe is done playing nice.

Ava Joe doesn’t play the victim, even when she’s singing about heartbreak. Her debut EP 'Try Me' is five tracks of slow-burn intensity; dusty guitars, jazz-leaning melodies, and lyrics that cut deeper the more you sit with them.

Claudia Valentina opens “Cry Them Dry” with no gloss, no filter, just raw heartbreak. If you’ve been following her, you’ll know that brutal honesty is kind of her thing.

There’s no filler on Bigroom Sensual II. Just two heavyweight club tracks - Bailarina and Gigolo - that manage to carry DJ Gigola’s high-gloss production style without giving in to EDM excess.

Anna Lunoe teams up with South London’s Yiigaa to rework Pearl, the title track from her 2024 debut album. ‘Pearl (Find My Way)’ strips the original to its emotional core, letting space, softness, and vulnerability guide the dancefloor.

London duo MRCY return with ‘Wandering Attention’, a punchy, emotionally-charged track that sets the tone for VOLUME 2. It’s confident, heavy with meaning, and builds on their rising status as one of the UK’s most exciting new live acts.

Julia Wolf teams up with UK producer Badger for a garage-fuelled rework of her viral hit ‘In My Room’. It’s a shift in tone but not in impact, this remix turns internal tension into dancefloor catharsis.

‘Candy stores’ is unfiltered, messy, loud - and that’s the point. Charlotte Plank cuts through the noise with a track built on jungle-leaning production and a hook that doesn’t let go.

Jim Legxacy doesn’t waste a second on ‘stick' as the track lands fast, with compressed vocals, a sliding melody, and no filler.

Kidwild has stripped things back but still hits hard. It's not dressed up or dressed down, it just is how it is.
