AntsLive – Billie Holiday

Vic Mensa – Still With the Smoke
Raw, introspective, and laced with fire, Vic Mensa spits with the conviction of someone who’s lived every bar. “Still With the Smoke” rides a smoky, jazz-inflected beat as he reflects on resilience and identity. One of his most mature and magnetic cuts to date.

Kill Flora – A Veces
Fuzzy, emotional, and unpredictable, “A Veces” floats between grunge melancholy and Latin soul. Kill Flora blend languages and genres into something beautifully volatile, a track that aches and burns in equal measure.

alayna – Softly

Yndling – Fences

Wynne – Snooze
Wynne spits rapid-fire verses over a beat that barely keeps up — “Snooze” is anything but sleepy. Confident, clever, and packed with lyrical dexterity, it’s a reminder that hip-hop still has space for razor-sharp wit and flow.

Katzin – Anna
Katzin’s “Anna” is cinematic indie-pop with a dark undercurrent. Pulsing synths and moody guitar riffs frame a story of longing and obsession. It’s haunting yet hooky, the kind of song that lingers long after the final note.

Just Mustard – Endless Deathless
Ireland’s Just Mustard conjure a wall of sound that’s both brutal and beautiful. “Endless Deathless” is post-punk for the dreamers: noise, texture, and tension woven into something hypnotic and deeply human. A stunning return from one of the genre’s most exciting acts.
