Tracklist + Q&A: https://bit.ly/tm072fetus

Japanese artist @fetus_music  makes intense and uninhibited music that transcends physical limits and language — and it's catching attention across the world. 

"This mix focuses on the 'new Fetus' after my album. It’s a BPM 160 mix that reflects where I’m heading, including collaborations and tracks from friends who have supported me. I think it captures the current full picture of Fetus, built on a foundation of dance. I hope people enjoy it."

Cass McCombs ~ Interviewed on 2SER's Static

Pre-order: https://hypeddit.com/pistashio/pollen

London-based duo @pistashio-wav arrive on @ducklandbristol with their label debut - a bubbling, club-ready new single, 'POLLEN'.

'POLLEN' is reminiscent of warm summer days, complimenting euphoric melodies with punchy basslines while building intensity as it transitions from day to night.

Premiere: PISTASHIO 'POLLEN'

Hollie Cook wears her heart on her sleeve with the bittersweet love song ‘Frontline'. Steeped in deep roots flavours, it’s a timeless production written alongside friends and fellow collaborators Ben McKone and Luke Allwood of General Roots fame.

One of the more melancholic productions taken from Hollie Cook's forthcoming fifth album Shy Girl, ‘Frontline’ embraces Hollie's dedication to staying true to herself and authentic to her craft. A vintage British lovers’ rock vocal delivery sees Hollie open up through her lyrics with an emotional depth and striking honesty. It stirs up feelings of underground classics such as Sonia's 'Easier To Love’, yet is backed with a slightly tougher and rougher roots tone, giving it a distinctive edge and attitude. Raking electric guitar lines and a dubby bassline from the General Roots band lay the foundations, as an uplifting horn section brings a sense of hope to proceedings. 

In ‘Frontline’ Hollie delivers a powerful cut that’s both ethereal and empowering, providing another signature example of her classic yet contemporary sound.
