Is it just me or do these playlists keep getting better and better every month?
October has been host to some MAJOR releases, and this month’s playlist is a snippet of all the good music you absolutely cannot miss out on.
First of all, PHFAT is back?! He makes his return with “get out of my head” – a grungy low-fi offering that has eerie traces of Kurt Cobain, Radiohead and The Pixies.
Hugo Pooe’s newest EP Distopia is a cold, hard reality check, and a grating combination of hip-hop and punk rock, while Nirvana Nokwe’s debut EP Nirvous Love is equally stunning, its simple vocalism paired with sparse electronics and spoken-word poetry.
Apple Music’s Up Next Artist of the month, aboynamedblu, also makes an appearance, with “Automatic License” – a euphoric indie offering textured by quivering vocals and a rolling bass line.
Other new releases include Beatenberg’s fun-loving “Symposium”; emerger’s retro, synth-heavy “tangerine sky”, Kloudink’s quirky ’90s throwback “No Time For Sleeping” and Yung Beathoven’s “HEARTBREAK HOTEL” (feat. ZUBIN).
On an international front, we obvs had to include a track from Miss Tay Swift’s Midnights, as well as from Arctic Monkeys’ The Car.
And to end things off, Tanaka’s ethereal, space-age single “Starlight”, before Bouwer Bosch’s solemn love letter to faith, “Skuiling”, brings us to a tempered and introspective close.
Ok enough reading now go ENJOY OUR NEW PLAYLIST BYE.
