🎧 Approved: Choses Sauvages
Montreal’s Choses Sauvages toe multiple lines within the realm of modern post-punk, new wave, disco and Krautrock. Their new track ‘Cours Toujours’ is no exception, it’s disorienting, a little paranoid and weirdly danceable…

🎧 Approved: Ryder
From viral sensation to Skepta collaborator, Ryder brings a fresh perspective to production - one that thrives on reinvention and unpredictability. His new single ‘WTF’ with BXKS pulses with the bass-heavy bounce of Brazilian funk, built for movement and mayhem…
