Brooklyn-based songwriter, musician, and visual artist Eliana Glass announces her debut album, E, set for release on April 25 via Shelter Press (Claire Rousay, Felicia Atkinson, Perila). Alongside the announcement, she shares the lead single, “Shrine,” accompanied by a music video filmed, directed, and edited by Jules Muir. Marking her first officially released solo song, “Shrine” offers a mesmerizing introduction to Glass’s ethereal and timeless sound—disarmingly intimate yet expansive, refracting a myriad of left-field influences and personal experiences into something entirely her own.
“This song is more a series of images than a clear story,” Glass reflects. “It’s about the people you encounter in life and the parts of them that live on in you—unbeknownst to them. It’s also about feelings of isolation, of being secluded or remote.” Much of E embraces this abstract, collage-like approach—fragments of things Glass loves, tied together through references to moments, people, memories, and dreams—assembled to capture life in a song.
fabric Records has enlisted Turkish-Italian DJ and producer Carlita for the next installment of its prestigious mix compilation series, fabric presents. Set for full release on April 11, fabric presents Carlita will showcase her meticulous curation, featuring two new original tracks. The announcement arrives alongside the release of the first single, “Raf,” a collaboration with Toronto producer Andre Zimmer, out now via fabric Records.
“Raf” is a high-energy fusion of classic house and rave influences, crafted with the dancefloor in mind. The track pairs infectious, soulful vocal elements with punchy synth stabs and rolling breakbeats, all anchored by a deep, groovy tech-house bassline. “Raf,” along with an additional original from Carlita, “Stop Now,” is nestled among storied house and techno juggernauts such as Butch, Alex Metric, and Paco Osuna, as well as rising underground producers Prunk, Toman, Alinka, and more.
Born-and-raised Detroit staple DJ Holographic unveils her latest single, “Pisces,” available today on all streaming platforms. The single arrives alongside the release date announcement of her anticipated debut album, House In The Dark, slated for March 21 via her newly launched label, Through The Veil.
“Pisces” continues the zodiac-themed series Holographic introduced last year with singles “Aries,” “Taurus,” “Gemini,” “Cancer,” and “Leo.” This new track exemplifies her distinctive sonic identity: a seamless fusion of deep house and electro-funk, enveloped in a neon-lit, psychedelic haze. The production is at once organic and machine-driven, reflecting Detroit’s storied musical lineage.
House In The Dark taps into the core of Afrofuturism that defined the foundation of Detroit techno but reimagines it in a femme, queer, and conscious way. The project draws from her deep-rooted relationship with astrology and shadow work—a therapeutic practice used to explore and heal repressed parts of the self. These transformative inner journeys serve as the creative bedrock for the album, which navigates themes of self-discovery, healing, and empowerment.
“Through healing practices like shadow work, astrology, and more, I’ve found a profound sense of arrival while writing House In The Dark. I’ve stepped into who I’ve always wanted to be as a creative and so much more. ‘Pisces’ is a journey through the depths of illusion, where the home becomes both a sanctuary and a mirror for our inner world, revealing what’s real and what we choose to believe.” — DJ Holographic

Kabin Crew release their new double single, “Kabin Party / Belter” this Thursday via Rubyworks, fresh off the back of their smash hit “The Spark”, which has just won Song Of The Year at the RTÉ Choice Music Prize.

Indie folk band Norabelle are set to return with their latest single, “I Am Not a Talker”, available on all major streaming platforms from March 7th. The track serves as a poignant introduction to their forthcoming album ‘The Mountain Blinks’, set for release on April 11th, 2025.
The single, a delicate yet deeply evocative composition, explores the enduring weight of grief and the challenges of verbalizing loss. Speaking about the song, Ken from the band shared:
“I Am Not a Talker is about being unable to speak about grief even after such a long period of time. It’s about internalising it instead and allowing it to colour your view of life. The song also touches on a major theme of the album, the unreliability of memory.
The music video is taken from a film called Foreclosed by Eoin Heaney. It features a run-down, deserted old house, which I feel fits the song well. It was someone else’s home at some point; full of love and full of memories. These memories are faded now.”
Alternative R&B artist ilham (pronounced like Elon, but with an “m”) has released her single and music video “roster,” available now on all digital platforms via The Orchard.

While the song was produced by NAMI (Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez, Travis Scott) and GRAMMY Award winner Kevin “Kofo“ Ekofo (Wizkid, Fridayy, Khalid, Burna Boy), the accompanying visual was directed by Cass Myers (SZA, Sadboi) and sees ilham in front of the New York City skyline catching the attention of potential romantic interests with her commanding presence.
