The Graftwork EP

Renelle 893 and King Kashmere reunite on ‘Gotta Go’, the second single lifted from their FORTHCOMING ‘Cocoa Butter’ EP. Following in the same funk-fuelled footsteps as debut heater ’Let Go’, the single doubles down on the SUN-KISSED-SUMMERTIME sonics that have us channeling long days, even longer nights, fezzies, backflips into lakes and beyond.

PRE-ORDERS for ‘COCOA BUTTER’ are now live over on the HF Store. Click the link below to secure your copy of the 12” ‘Orange + Green ~ HEATWAVE HAZE’ vinyl in SUPER-LIMITED numbers.

Gotta Go

Renelle 893 & King Kashmere - Gotta Go

💫 “I was STOOSHE then and I’m STOOSHE Now…” 💫

The BRAND NEW single from TrueMendous, lifted from her BRAND NEW album ‘Great. On Purpose’, is a celebration of womanhood that sees TrueMendous fly the flag for women, not just in the industry, but in all walks of life.

Sporting 15-tracks of evolutionary music, ‘Great. On Purpose’ is without question True's most ambitious body of work to date.⁠ 

Since sharing the unrelenting lead single 'Talkk' Feat. Mysdiggi, and after a double serving on follow up 'Really Wanna Love' x 'Still Don't Wanna', the album is a rollercoaster ride. Just listen to her most recent single 'Yourself or The World?' featuring the almighty Skinnyman if you're in need of anymore proof.
Featuring a heavyweight lineup of guest appearances from the aforementioned Skinnyman and Mysdiggi, but also including Janel Antoneshia, Vaddy, Princess, Ashley Allen, and DJ Sammy B-Side, complemented by Illinformed, GhostTown, Pitch 92, Forest DLG, Muckaniks, Mark Fear and Bear on production duties -  ‘Great. On Purpose’ is STACKED from top-to-tail 📈📈📈

"Never take the present for granted, because the future ain’t promised…”

Journey with Fliptrix on his new single ‘Future Ain’t Promised’; a shining boom bap anthem from one of the very best to do it.

Reuniting with Illinformed, the two effortlessly combine on another contemplative banger that sees Fliptrix ruminate on the importance of self-discovery, self-respect, spreading love, but most importantly, living in the present, with a core message that speaks loudest in the track title itself.

As Fliptrix explains…

“Don’t let the weight of hard feelings hold you down. Never lose sight of the good times, and aspire to make a difference everyday. If you find yourself in a deep hole, have faith that things can (and will) get better…”

TrueMendous (@itstruemendous) returns with ‘Old Ting, New Ting’ the latest single lifted from her new album ‘GREAT. ON PURPOSE’.

The track TICKS ALL OF THE BOXES. Teaming up with regular collaborator Bear, and leaning on a beautiful sample to bring things home, True waxes lyrical about multiple themes that run consistently throughout the album, including (but not limited to) love, lust and getting blocked on IG.

On the day that Fliptrix celebrates his ninth solo album release (‘Mantra No. 9’ OUT NOW) he offers up ‘Gratitude’ as a THANK YOU to the scene and the many people who helped along the way.

A sample-free heater, produced by Mr Slipz and with a brilliant video courtesy of Craig Dolan, the messaging is clear. The track sees Fliptrix pay his respects, showing gratitude to everyone who played a part in the journey to date; from the fans, to friends and family, but moreover, the OGs who laid the foundations for the scene as we know it today.

With a heady mix of spiritual and esoteric references, ‘Gratitude’ champions learning, evolution, staying true, and is steadfast in the view that visualising the rise is always better than fearing the fall.

“Confronted by a younger you, telling you do better dude…”

Fliptrix joins forces with long-time collaborator Illinformed on the latest track lifted from his brilliant new LP ‘Mantra No. 9’. 

A sci-fi spectacle set in the dystopian shadows of Canary Wharf and its neighbouring megastructures, Fliptrix professes visions from a near-future; analysing the state of play almost from an almost parallel universe, speaking from his chest about how he both sees and feels the world.

Resurfacing from their studio arch in deepest Devon, Jman & The Argonautz offer up ‘Don’t Want It’; the second single in as many months from the 6-piece outfit.

An alt-anthem showcasing the band at their fluent best; ‘Don’t Want It’ is as unorthodox an 👂🐛 as you will find; Jman navigating The Argonautz’ live instrumentation in blistering fashion, moving through the gears to near-triple time energy at the height of the tune.

Accompanied by an official video with big ‘WHODUNNIT’ energy, the new track doubles down on debut single ‘Dying Breed’ confirming what we already knew; Jman & The Argonautz are an outfit to keep a very close 👀 on.

‘Don’t Want It’ is OUT NOW across the WWW and beyond.

Onoe Caponoe returns with a brand new single lifted from his album ‘Concrete Fantasia’. Of this world and out-of-this-world perfectly poised; ‘Outsiders’ is a shimmering nighttime anthem that files next to ‘Afro Samurai’ (among others) as a classic lurkers anthem; Onoe professing his undying love for the universe he creates in the twilight lanes and alleyways of Concrete Fantasia.
