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

SL’s latest single, Paranoia, continues the shift he started with Robbery. This isn’t just another track, it’s the next piece in an ongoing narrative. One that’s getting darker, tighter, and more personal.

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.

Versatile, Personal and Exuding Confidence. A Belting Debut Album from Finn Foxell.

Oculate UK's round-up of all the highlights in new music from the past week. Featuring: Sasha Keable, Cheetah & Nia Archives, Finn Foxell & more.

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.

Grime veteran Manga Saint Hilare drops surprise single ‘140 World Problems’, his first solo release of the year, blending sharp flows and social commentary over Freeza Chin production. Fresh off the deluxe release of ‘Everything Is Under Control’, he reminds you why he’s still one of the sharpest voices in the scene.

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.

I’m sure many saw Sam Fender’s recent comments. The three-time Brit winner has had an incredibly impressive career so far; his debut album soared to the top of UK charts, with his most recent also enjoying similar success. 

‘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.

Loyle Carner is back with his just dropped a double single, 'all i need / in my mind’ and it hits different.

Whether you love them, hate them or never even heard of them: Sleigh Bells are something else. They return with new album, Bunky Becky Boy.

Little Simz has stepped up a level - with her first ever arena shows at London's O2 Arena and Manchester's Co-Op Live later this year.

Skrillex doesn’t do things by the book. Instead of a carefully planned rollout, he leaked his own album, sending a Dropbox link to fans
