Comprised of 9 tracks (four being interludes), Trunova creates an alchemy of experimental pop, ground-breaking electronica and more. A soundtrack to what the future sounds like, Trunova is comfortably strolling down the musical lane of artists such as Björk and Kate Bush, yet developing an intricate sound that is unique and brilliantly refreshing.

South London's Oscar Jerome has shared a new rework of his track 'Do You Really' courtesy of Berlin-based producer Glenn Astro. Transforming the original into a lo-fi, spaced-out Hip-Hop meets experimental electronica cut, the remix is stacked with wobbly bass, running hi-hats and multiple sparkling sound bits that definitely provides a head-nod factor. This version comes ahead of Jerome's headline show at EartH (formerly Hackney Arts Centre) in London on February 20, 2019.

For her video 'Marry Me', Berlin-based singer Farao performs something that falls in-between a dance routine and aerobics along with a crew of women. This carries on throughout a number of scenic changes including an industrial landscape to a futuristic car park-looking setting.

Having released 'The Golda Complex' EP back in March, Berlin-based singer Golda makes her return with the nocturnal single 'Jaded'. The bass-thumping cut is a healthy helping of RnB powered by Golda's deep, seducing vocals as she sings of a love that is no longer around. It's quite hard not to get caught up in Golda's musical web and 'Jaded' is another threading of the net. Have a listen.
