London's Benin City have built a reputation on brilliantly experimenting with sound and genre blending, resulting in their own distinct style. For their latest single 'Lord Of The Manor', Benin City continue to push sonic boundaries whilst delivering thought-provoking lyrics shining a spotlight on a young working class Londoner. Produced by James Greenwood, the husky production encompasses rumbling bass liners topped with slight distortion on the vocals of Joshua Idehen and Shanaz Dorsett.
On paper, the thought of fusing industrial, post-punk and dance with Balearic influences could seem a bit suspect. However, London-based band Two Tribes have managed to pull it off with there latest single 'Videodrone'. The song follows their previously released track 'Zone'. Drawing inspiration from not only an early 80s synth palette, 90s rave is also embedded in the production that is ethereal and quite blissful. Produced by Oli Bayston, 'Videodrone' is currently out now. Have a listen.
Danish band Nelson Can take their sound in a different direction with their latest single 'Limelight'. Adding a disco and dance element to their post-punk palette, the track is a pulsing 4x4 powered offering that is seducing and enchanting in the same breath.
London's Benin City return with their latest single 'What A Time'. Incorporating the sound of electro in their production, the song is a fun dance floor scorcher that celebrates the here and now.

Stockholm-based singer Shenie Fogo has unveiled a batch of remixes to her track 'Make A Move', her reworking of Brandy's classic track 'I Wanna Be Down'.

A compliment to the silky original version, which was shared last month, this handing comes after Shenie Fogo's previous cuts 'Mood' and '4 AM'.
Pop icon Madonna addresses the issue of gun violence in her video 'God Control'. Directed by Jonas Åkerlund, Madonna plays the role of a writer typing a story revolving around a glamour and glitzy, 70s era New York City night club that is eventually the target ground for a brutal attack, leaving multiple people dead. There is also a moment in the video where Madonna is held up outside at gun point.

Gorgon City have unveiled the video for their single 'Delicious'. The visuals feature a couple completely going at it with kissing and licking faces whilst other clips feature a woman dancing to the track.

Have a look.
Spanish artist Museless has unveiled the video to her single 'Anonymous'.

London vocalist Roses Gabor has dropped her massive new single 'Turkish Delight'.
