Brighton-based AluraOnline delivers Starlight. A club-facing single built on aggressive synth pressure and a metallic drop, aligned with the city’s queer underground energy. Produced across four days in temporary accommodation, the track anchors a wider album system. Self-recorded between sofa surfing and emergency housing. Mapping ambition against instability, grief, and survival.I realised I’m in a unique position. I’ve never made music with much anyway, just my laptop, focusrite scarlett, an audio technica AT2020 and a dream. That meant I could document my experience trying to stay alive and actually make it in music while in such a precarious situation. Not…

With a multi-genre influence blending jazz, electronica, soul and hip hop, Tom Misch sold out two nights at KOKO, Camden.I first came across Tom years ago through the rapper Loyle Carner. The first time I heard him sing, I was mesmerised — an angelic, melodic voice that never fails to move me. The singer had taken a break from live music in recent years but felt ready to step back this year with carefully curated, intentionally intimate shows. Tom Misch first entered the music scene in 2012, sharing homemade mixes and samples on SoundCloud, which quickly built him a devoted…

For a while, The Drama looks like it might be easier to describe than it actually is. You see the cast, the setup, the mood of the thing, and you think you more or less know the lane.

Kristoffer Borgli takes that familiar setup and makes it feel sour almost from the inside out. Not…

Backed by major tours, festival stages, and consistent chart success, he is firmly cementing himself as one of the UK’s most exciting voices.“BONES” sets the tone for what is shaping up to be another…
