UK based acoustic pop/folk/soul singer-songwriter, submitting my new song for your radio station. Music has always been my way of making sense of life. When I first started playing guitar, I learned how deeply sound can heal and reveal. I'm a romantic mess, a bath enthusiast, and can struggle with staying focused, but through writing and melody, I keep finding pieces of my soul. This track “One Heart” is from my upcoming EP “Through The Deep End”. I wrote it in my bedroom after the passing of my gramps, & I remembered a valuable piece of wisdom he gave me - the song was born from that.

and life coach who channels raw emotion and spiritual insight into her evocative
soundscapes. Born into a musical family in Wales, Rebekah’s journey has taken her from the misty coasts of the UK to the vibrant deserts of Dubai, where she infuses her music with themes of feminine empowerment, transformation, and healing.
Her work turns personal pain into powerful anthems, blending haunting melodies with introspective lyrics that resonate on a deeply human level—spanning ethereal ballads to thunderous metal riffs. As a shamanic life

Rebekah Knight’s musical odyssey began in the rolling hills of Wales, surrounded by a family steeped in melody and rhythm.

Tracks like “Unbound” and “Siren” capture her signature blend of vulnerability and ferocity, earning streams across platforms.
Rebekah’s music isn’t just heard—it’s felt. As she shared in a recent interview on the Sounds Like Us podcast: “My family’s musical legacy gave me the tools, but living across worlds taught me the stories. I write to remind us that pain is the forge for power.” Whether coaching through her Dark Knight Academy or performing live, Rebekah inspires a global tribe of dreamers to embrace their wild, untamed selves.

Emerging electronic artist Reece Rosé (from Los Angeles, California) teams up with Capri Everitt on ‘Misbehaving’, a feel-good house record that blends nostalgic warmth with modern club energy. Rooted in early ’90s house, UK garage, and soul, the track captures a carefree spirit while continuing Rosé’s mission to honor the foundations of dance music through a fresh, contemporary lens.
Built around warm chords, playful grooves, and an uplifting rhythm, ‘Misbehaving’ feels like a snapshot of simpler times. The track draws inspiration from the freedom of teenage years, late nights with friends, first love, and the kind of memories that only grow more vivid with time. It is both reflective and immediate, pairing nostalgic storytelling with a groove designed for the dancefloor.
“It’s a reminder of those carefree high school days, when life felt simple, the nights felt endless, and the only thing that mattered was the music and the memories we were making”, says Reece Rosé.
That balance between past and present defines his sound. Influenced by the textures of early house and UKG, Reece Rosé makes music that feel familiar yet forward-facing, bridging eras without losing momentum. ‘Misbehaving’ leans into that duality, offering a bright, summery energy that invites listeners to relive those moments while creating new ones in real time.
Rosé’s growing impact on the global electronic scene continues to build. His music has received international airplay on Kiss FM UK and Insomniac Radio, while earning support from influential artists including AC Slater, Zeds Dead, Boombox Cartel, DJ Q, REH4B, and DJ Craze. On Beatport, his releases have made a strong impression, with Hide/1Kreaching #2 on the Bass House Releases chart and the Dissonance EP climbing to #3 on the 140/Deep Dubstep Releases chart.
‘Misbehaving’ is a feeling; a moment suspended between memory and motion, where nostalgia meets the pulse of the present.

Reverend Genes hail from Newcastle, NSW, Australia and do music, and through the kindness of the creative commons community, also a little music video. Broad influences include post-punk & new-wave.
Themes across the recordings touch on sustainability and human concepts. From
movement and dreams, to relationships, our environment, and outcomes. How is it that our species neglects their own kind and nature, while throughout history low-fluencers have consistently leveraged followers to drive their own objectives?
Reverend Genes’ sound is drawn from the music of Australian pubs and clubs. This music is in turn influenced by the music that emerged from the UK and the USA in the second half of the 20th century.
RIV-VEN. From riven : destroyed, torn apart, shattered
RIV-VEN's story as an artist is just starting to unfold. In fact, it begins right here. A solo artist who began life in London and ended up in Madrid, he started to play the piano at age 6, wrote and performed music throughout his childhood and teenage years and took a music degree. But then years of silence followed.
Just recently, he felt a compelling need to break that silence and capture pain that he has felt and that he sees in the world around him in words, combining them with music that is powerful, energetic, uplifting and atmospheric.
The result is powerful, danceable catharsis, each track a unique rollercoaster ride of strong basslines and drums and striking melodies. There are sung versions, recorded with talented external vocal collaboration and the unusual “beyond the grave” versions “whispered” by the artist.

I’m an indie artist from North Yorkshire and I’ve just released the title
track from my forthcoming album ‘Love is the Strongest Force’.
The song carries a strong universal message and is a taster for the album due in November. In a time of social division and world unrest this is a song about people coming together – a song about love’s resilience in the face of adversity. It’s not a romantic song. It’s about the transformative power of love and empathy in a universal sense. Love is stronger than hate.
Love is always the answer. Love is the strongest force.

Hailing from Western Sydney, Australia, singer-songwriter and guitarist Ryan Thomas returns with his new single ‘Hang Fire’.
Thomas has been performing since the age of 15, cutting his teeth through solo gigs, blues jams, session work and as a member of pop-punk outfit Lucid. Drawing from the melodic punch of artists like Sam Fender, The 1975 and Kings of Leon, ‘Hang Fire’ blends pop-rock, indie rock and alternative influences into a danceable, 80s-tinged sound. The track pairs driving guitars with saxophone and synth textures to deliver an anthemic energy.
“‘Hang Fire’ is about procrastination, and how putting something off, good or bad, doesn’t make it go away,” says Thomas. “Whether it’s breaking up with someone or learning how to sew, you’re usually better off just doing it. You’re not here forever, so make the most of it.”
The track has been a long time in the making. Thomas began working on the song in 2022 after discovering
the phrase “Airports they make me lonely, sad songs make me cry” in an old poetry book belonging to his mother. After several iterations, the song eventually evolved into the version heard today.
Adding to the track’s retro flair is a saxophone performance from Hugo Lee, current saxophonist for legendary
Australian band Icehouse, helping bring the song’s nostalgic energy to life.
With over 10,000 streams on his previous release and growing momentum online, Hang Fire continues Thomas’ trajectory as one of Australia’s emerging indie rock voices.
