We hope we aren’t getting ahead of ourselves by saying this, but we think it’s safe to say that zotti is back for good. The Nashville-based beat-maker made his highly-anticipated return to releasing original content in late January with the bouncy ‘rosa‘ on Good Society, and today looks to build on that momentum with ‘zodiac.’ While Sundays aren’t usually peak…

METAHESH is a name that has been on my radar for well over a year now due to his innovative take on future bass. In a scene where the genre is often a knock-off of Flume, the Russian artist has continued to deliver creative pieces which have earned him releases on labels such as Dim Mak and collaborations alongside PURGE…

Even if my role as a writer should mean that I know things, many things, Electric Hawk remained hidden from my eyes and ears until their debut compilation showed up in our team’s chat and Colin took over an episode of their radio show. Let me say, what a surprise they have been since then! Interviews, spotlights, write-ups: their passion…

Despite the fact that I have got to know a lot of producers and artists during these years and their respective creative processes, sometimes, when I bump into some incredibly powerful pieces of art, I wonder how humans can create such beautiful things. Since I pretty much have zero creative skills (musically speaking) within me, at certain levels music really…

I don’t think there’s a better production duo setting SoundCloud ablaze right now than olswel & inimicvs. From ‘ridin round,’ to ‘phillmaster’ and ‘krunch,’ anytime they connect it’s guaranteed flames. Coming through with yet another flamethrower of a track is ‘woomp’. The song is everything we love about the two: addictive melodies, rap samples sprinkled in with a swagged out…

Drake loves surprising fans with late night drops. Keeping the streak alive last night, the 6 God dropped off two new tracks ‘When To Say When’ & ‘Chicago Freestyle.’ The first sees Drake going in over a beat that leverages the same sample as Jay-Z’s classic ‘Song Cry.’ Drake is in his pocket dropping bars over the soulful yet knocking…

Chip Diddy Chip is one of Grime’s true OGs, despite only being 29 years of age. The Tottenham lyricist first started rapping as a child, when he heard the likes of Dizzee Rascal and Wiley popping off on Private Radio, right when Grime was first taking shape. At 13, he was paying £20 a session to write with his friends…

In 2013, UK producer and recluse King Krule famously responded that “he wasn’t surprised” that Beyonce liked an early single of his. He was 18. This punk eschewing of public opinion resonates deep in the heart of youth, and almost a decade later, this same spirit is captured in the lyricism of Aitch, a grime figure now contending with his…

Known for cultivating Future House through the creation of his record label CONFESSION, Tchami has been cruising the edge of funky house grooves and crests of EDM vibes for some time. He just released not one, but two new singles, ‘Proud’ and ‘Ghosts,’ from his upcoming yet-to-be-named, solo debut album which is followed up by the start of his Elevation…

Happy Leap Day! We got an extra day this February so Focus Five is dropping on the 29th. This month we’ve got a wide variety as usual. Looking for some UK Garage? We got you. Vibey future beats? Of course. Heavy or mesmerizing bass? It’s all here. Just dive in below. Gemi Now, I’m technically killing two birds with one…
