Emerging from the Bristol underground in original style, @r_amu proves definitively that three is the magic number with this head turning 3-tracker for Magic Carpet’s third record.

Mist Or Cloud on the A-side is pure alchemy, a soaring force majeure infused with graceful atmosphere. Best enjoyed at 10,000 feet! The B-side brings us back down into our bodies for two kinetic tracks that conduct raw energy and movement for the dancefloor. A stellar debut from a promising talent.

A - Mist Or Cloud
B1 - Mirrored Me
B2 - 2049 Rain

Swin (@swinmusicuk) delights and surprises with this excellent EP featuring the anthemic “Stay At Home”. You could be forgiven for thinking that this record was produced by the leathery hands of a mature industry professional long-settled in the Ibizan sun, rather than by a friendly northern lad in Newcastle who vaguely remembers seeing sunshine when he was 6. Quality and range beyond his years - Swin is surely one to watch!

A2 ~ The Sooner You Realise
B1 ~ Tell Me What You Want
