Hosted by tastemaking DJ, presenter and broadcaster Emerald and in collaboration with all of us at tmrw and AWAL, the podcast introduces some of the most talented rising stars in the UK music scene. For our second episode, we meet Congee, the innovative London-based artist and producer.

Self-named after the comforting Chinese dish, Congee explains in our new episode that his moniker celebrates both his heritage and also his upbringing: “I was thinking about my earliest memories from when I was younger: things that have stuck with me, that I still have a part of me now. Congee, a Chinese porridge, was always made for me when I was younger and my mum still makes it for me now. As a name, I like how it looks when you write it out in English, it’s satisfying.”

In 2022, it’s hard to define musicians by genre: people are blurring the boundaries more every day, and that’s how Anish likes it. He explains to Emerald, when asked to sum up his sound, “I’m really trying to not say house or disco or techno but it’s somewhere in there…”

In fact, what matters most to Anish Kumar is the feelings these songs evoke: “I really quite like euphoric moments and moments that hit you in the gut”, he tells us in episode 3 “I try to make them the focal points in my tracks”.

You're listening to CHANGE THE RECORD podcast by VOCAL GIRLS and tmrw! This week, host Megan Graye is speaking to artist and writer, Lily O’Farrell (or @vulgadrawings as you might know her) about the music from her past, present and future. Lily is from London and started @vulgadrawings in 2018 after finding that drawing her experiences of everyday sexism provided a much needed outlet for the harassment she was facing. When she realised how much people related to her work, she was inspired to create more and encouraged her audience to share their own stories. She has since amassed almost 160k followers on Instagram! Listen now to hear Lily talk trolls, shared experiences, and why her work is not just hilarious - but fundamental. 

You can listen to Lily’s song choices from her 'yesterday' 'today' and 'tomorrow’ HERE: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7IervRLAUdtznJvlNomRwe?si=H24tttDNT-SQnGtj5iORIw
