CMU Selects - last week’s standout releases

OFFIE RADIO’s launch pop up week

Brighton’s OFFIE MAG has always thrived on community, and its new radio offshoot, OFFIE RADIO, extended that ethos with a week-long pop-up celebrating its inaugural broadcast. True to their word, the station brought together local legends, emerging artists and compelling voices under one roof at Brighton’s Manchester Street Arts Club. You can listen back to each set on their Mixcloud here.

Logic1000’s DJ-Kicks mix

Logic1000’s entry into the DJ-Kicks series feels less like a club set and more like the haze of a Sunday morning. Weaving trip-hop, downtempo and ambient textures, it’s a mix that lingers in the space between wakefulness and dreaming - patient, deliberate and beautifully ephemeral.

Little Simz’s new single ‘Free’

A song that began as a poem and transformed in the studio. The result is a meditation on independence and love’s power to transcend.

Eartheater and Shygirl’s two new singles ‘Shark Brain’ and ‘Dolphin’

Eartheater and Shygirl collide in all the best ways on their first collaboration. ‘Shark Brain’ is kinetic and restless; ‘Dolphin’ is smooth and elastic. Both tracks feel like future club standards, powered by Eartheater’s avant-pop ingenuity and Shygirl’s effortless sensuality.

Lenderman and Nate Amos re-record of ‘Dancing In The Club’

MJ Lenderman reimagines Nate Amos’s ‘Dancing In The Club’, trading its auto-tuned detachment for something raw and exposed. Where the original kept desperation at arm’s length, Lenderman’s deadpan delivery lets it sink in deeper, bruising in new, more painful shades.
