Dirty Freud - Intentions

Boundary-pushing, genre-clashing, 'Intentions' is blended with abstract rhythms, cryptic vocals and cataclysmic beats that offer a glimpse of his upcoming EP 'Love In The Backwater'.

Dirty Freud has created a reverberating echo chamber of post-Dub Step filled with electronics and dark soundscape; that flows alongside the unearthly vocalist Szou.

With the success of his cutting-edge productions and gracing stages across Glastonbury, Reading and Boomtown. Dirty Freud is embarking on a dystopian journey.

Only Sun - Bad Decisions

One of the hottest and most talked indie band out there, Only Sun have returned with their latest single 'Bad Decisions'.

Resolving around the feeling of waking up the morning after a heavy night out - too familiar for everyone's ears - nevertheless, the track reminds you of a good night.

Fulfilled with electric riffs and killer beats that fit for a perfect indie anthem.

Chappaqua Wrestling - The Rift

Forming in late 2017 the Brighton-based band have championed the music industry and 'The Rift' once again proves they are not here to mess around.

With bluster rhythms and piercing riffs, Chappaqua Wrestling have created a grungy punk-driven anthem that taps into dark energies of our society.
