Ahead

The gloomy "Now Or Always" opens this week's selection of sparkling new artists which also features songs by Aurelia Dey, Toros, Home Counties, Lewin and other talents you should have on your radar.

On September 30 we're inviting three exciting new acts from Sweden to the Berlin capital were they will hopefully be able to perfom for you in a pandemic-friendly way. Out of 60 applications we and a jury of music industry colleagues picked out the three finest ones to play their first Berlin shows. Get to know Aurelia Dey, Majorelle Blue and Mira Aasma right here.

The furious British alternative pop trio reports back with a reckless single called "(I Don't Wanna) Start Fights" and we put it at the number one spot of our newcomer playlist. Stream it along with new music from Jinka, Melancholic Rey, Phools, Jamws, Torp and other.

With Wallentin Richardsson's debut album about to land, we get an early taste with the beautifully-detailed, sweeping songwriting of his new single.

We've got the video premiere of her bluesy new single "Dead Pursuits" and you don't wanna miss this gloomy beauty. On top of it we also added great new songs for our newcomer playlist by talents like Halima, Evan Klar, JJ Draper, David Gaffney and other talents.

The Australian artist continues to tease her anticipated debut album with a personal new single. Find the lovely "Banksia" on top of our newcomer playlist along with songs from Amaroun, Harrison Storm, Mia Berg, Spungsugar and more talents that should be on your radar.

Fall in love with the tender "Lake" and its accompanying nostalgic music video. Along with the sweet tune also come updates for our newcomer playlist, including Blanche, Francis Of Delirium, Squid, Harvey Causon, Julia Logan and other talented artists you should have on your radar.

What do music and fencing have in common? Both require discipline, knowing your tools, and well-trained placement of hits or notes. We are premiering "Fencing", the latest release by The Micronaut in collaboration with Olympic fencer Anne Sauer. Instead of an exchange of intense hits, the two engage in a friendly exchange of interview questions regarding their greatest passions; fencing and music.
