Inspired by Dee Brown’s seminal book Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, the track was written in response to the history of Native American displacement and the way those stories have often been overlooked or rewritten.
“A few years ago I read the book ‘Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee’ by Dee Brown and was deeply affected by the brutal subjugation of the Native American people and the subsequent white washing of history. I wrote this song in response to that” shares Charlie.
Following the release of his Vestibule EP, cult favorite Galcher Lustwerk returns with a remixed rendition featuring mixes from Ricardo Villalobos, Skee Mask, Saoirse, and Yaleesa Hall, out now via StrataSonic.
A New York City-based producer, Lustwerk has become one of the most prolific names in the underground, recognized for his fusion of hazy house grooves, storytelling, and hip-hop-inspired vocals. Originally dropped on February 3, the Vestibule EP is a warm-toned, three-track release, featuring rolling percussion, introspective lyrics, and subtle cosmic synths.

Listen to ‘Telepatia’ via your streaming service of choice HERE.
“Wherever we are in the world, love is the only language we don’t need to understand. Blending French, English, and Spanish, the song explores a telepathic kind of love that reaches across distance. Inspired by Brazilian funk in the instrumental and melodies, I wanted the sound to feel global too, widening the love even more” says Enola.
Built around Brazilian funk-inspired production, ‘Telepatia’ reflects the way Enola approaches music as a space where cultures, languages and movement intersect. That philosophy has become central to Enola’s artistic identity. Her songwriting embraces multiple languages not as a stylistic device, but as a reflection of how she experiences music and connections. The result is pop that reaches across borders without losing its intimacy, inviting listeners into a shared space regardless of the language they speak.
Brooklyn-based tech-house favorite Westend today returns with his new single ‘Feels Better’ out now via his own imprint Trace Amounts.
Following his anthemic Experts Only hit ‘The Ceiling’, Westend keeps the momentum flying with ‘Feels Better’, a driving house track born from the rush of summer in New York. Written during the Knicks’ unforgettable playoff run, the single channels the feeling of a city running on collective joy through electrifying synthwork and catchy vocal hooks. Demanding dancefloor attention from the first beat, ‘Feels Better’ captures Westend at his most propulsive, translating that hometown energy into a record built for peak summer sets.
“I made ‘Feels Better’ in the middle of the Knicks championship run, when you could feel the whole city floating. That joy was everywhere, on the trains, in the bodegas, on the courts, and I wanted a record that carried it. I leaned into that classic chopped sample sound I grew up on, the Daft Punk filter house stuff, and chased the most feel good version of it I could. It’s built to hit at shows and feel like summer in New York.” – Westend
Fresh off two 2026 Caribbean Music Award nominations, including Song of the Year for her viral hit “G.A.D.,” critically acclaimed Jamaican recording artist Jada Kingdom returns with “MOVE,” a sultry new collaboration with dancehall icon Baby Cham.
Produced by Grammy Award-winning collective FaNaTIX (Nicki Minaj, David Guetta, Idris Elba), “MOVE” blends hypnotic Middle Eastern-inspired melodies, booming 808s, and a slow-burning groove into a record that’s equal parts seductive and infectious. From the opening notes, “MOVE” settles into its own world, with Jada’s soft, intimate vocals and Baby Cham’s signature singjay delivery creating undeniable chemistry from start to finish.
The accompanying music video brings that same energy to life. Set against lavish Middle Eastern-inspired backdrops, Jada stuns in flowing sari-inspired looks as she moves through a world of rich colors, intricate textures, and captivating choreography. Every frame mirrors the song’s magnetic pull, balancing elegance, sensuality, and quiet confidence.
After turning confidence into an anthem with “G.A.D.,” Jada explores a different side of herself on “MOVE.” The chemistry is effortless, the energy is magnetic, and the mood speaks for itself.
London, ON-based folk artist Willem James Cowan shares “Back to the City,” a sparse and emotionally heavy folk single that captures the strange disorientation of returning to a place once tied to love, comfort, and identity after everything connected to it has changed. Anchored by little more than voice and acoustic guitar, the track transforms post-breakup displacement into something deeply intimate and quietly devastating.
Written after Willem moved back in with his parents following the end of a long-term relationship, “Back to the City” reflects on revisiting Toronto after years spent building a life there with a partner. What was once familiar suddenly felt cold, distant, and emotionally unrecognizable.
“This song is about the feeling you get when you return to a place that you called home for so long, but now feels completely foreign,” Willem explains. “I still remember the lingering anxiety and dread that would well up inside me as I drove past the apartment buildings that line the Gardiner Expressway.”
Victoria, BC indie rock outfit The Bankes Brothers share “Aaliyah,” a warm and melodic new single that transforms personal devotion into something universally resonant. Built around fingerpicked acoustic guitars, soaring melodies, and heartfelt lyricism, the track captures the feeling of holding onto hope while navigating distance, uncertainty, and the passage of time. Equal parts intimate and uplifting, “Aaliyah” finds the band leaning into one of their most emotionally sincere recordings to date.
The song began long before its title arrived. Written initially around a series of chords and evolving song sections, “Aaliyah” existed without a clear centrepiece for quite some time. A temporary lyric, “farewell Maria,” occupied the space where the hook would eventually land, but never felt quite right.
“It wasn’t until my girlfriend was saying how she wished she had been named Aaliyah because it’s such a beautiful name that it clicked and it all came together,” Nelson Bankes explains. “In the end, the song is dedicated to her.”
Setting the high-grade tone of the project, “Diamonds” (watch) ft. MIST, M1llionz, and Lynch emerges as a powerfully lyrical and emotive offering that sees the elite Birmingham emcees trade punchlines and braggadocio in equal measure, bars on earned reputation floating over sharpened beats and a glossy keyboard instrumental. “Charge”continues the up-tempo mood, cult UK rap star Remtrex launching typically attention-stealing bars over one of the strongest productions on the tape, snappy 80s- leaning production bringing an electric energy to Remtrex’s street talk. “From The Mud” lets current UK hotshot Kairo Keyz reflect on being stuck in your ways even when your lifestyle says otherwise, a skippy, chiming production adding playfulness to balance out Keyz’s rugged raps.
Indeed, it’s this highly textured landscape of emcees that allows the project to unfurl in different directions. An intentional vision that underlines the ethos of the tape and a statement of A Class’s career, purposefully working with artists from different cities, countries, cultures, and walks of life to create a creative thread between usually disparate talent.
A Class has noted that inspiration is drawn from Mansa Musa, the legendary Malian emperor, often regarded as the richest man in history – whose wealth was used to bring people together and leave a lasting impact wherever he travelled. While Mansa Musa distributed wealth, A Class distributes music, creating opportunities for artists with different stories, ambitions, and agendas to unite on a common platform. A celebration of collaboration, culture, and the power of music to bridge divides.
With over 500M streams across his productions, collaborators, and featured artists involved in the project, A Class stands as one of the UK’s brightest production talents and has already extended his artistry beyond the studio – producing original music for film and theatre, most notably a contemporary adaptation of Romeo and Juliet. Continuing to be a go-to executive producer on multiple projects released through key major labels Sony and Universal, A Class collects his flowers on M.U.S.A. – a bold reminder that the Birmingham artist continues to shape the sound and storytelling of modern British music culture.

New York City-based singer and songwriter Sweetbreads (the project of Melody Stolpp) reveals two new singles, “Ben” and “Satisfy.” Together, the tracks offer distinct yet connected snapshots of the emotional landscape explored on her forthcoming debut album, Punisher of Love.
Playful on the surface yet rooted in real heartbreak, “Ben” transforms a painful chapter from Sweetbread’s early twenties into a tongue-in-cheek indie-folk anthem. Inspired by an on-again, off-again affair, the song immortalizes every vivid detail—from impulsive haircuts to chain-smoking cigarettes.
“It’s my one and only unrequited love song,” Sweetbreads explains. “Looking back, it feels like a sweet little time capsule for a very rough year. Now I see it as a tribute to my younger self and to all the naive hearts who find themselves in complicated situationships.”
