When I found out that Daniella (DellaXOZ) was from the same town as me, it made me feel so cool. Second hand ego boost. She's a singer and songwriter from the North West who has been making waves on Tiktok since her single 'AHH!!' dropped, and the release of her EP proved my second hand ego boost was only right. For fans of Remi Wolf, Grace Ives, bedroom pop and saying 'like'.

Thanks for the chat Daniella :)

Fake Turins are a collective based in London who I saw at a gig in Manchester and it was so much fun, I bought a shirt from them which doesn't fit me but that didn't matter. I spoke to Dominic, the lead singer and writer, who definitely isn't a cult leader. For fans of soul and disco, Human Music, Opus Kink, Destroyer, narratives and theatre.

Thanks Dominic, thanks to every member of the collective, and thanks to those who listen :)

'Assembly', KEG's debut EP, was something that really really excited me in lockdown. It was fun, it was poetic, and something I could only dream of seeing live. For fans of Crack Cloud, Pom Poko, Squid, Blue Bendy and Black Midi

When I heard Dawuna's music for the first time I was walking home in dim, cold weather. Hearing just the first few songs, it was suddenly dimmer and colder, and I loved it. For fans of Pan Daijing, Lyra Pramuk, L'Rain, Aphex Twin and D'Angelo.

Quiet Luke, somewhat ironically, is a very good talker. His 2019 album was a real highlight of the year for me and I was very excited to talk to him about it - this interview turned out very conversational and lengthy. For fans of Radiohead, Muse, James Ivy and The Hellp

I stumbled across Nussy Andrews' music one night on a long TikTok spree, and it dragged me straight out of that mundane scroll and into something much much more interesting. For fans of Fiona Apple, Joni Mitchell, tough lyrics and jazz music.

Tommy Fleece's album Audio Tactile Synesthesia stuck out to me during the lockdowns of 2020, and so I was very happy to find out more about him and his work. For fans of James Blake, Caleb Peters, J Dilla and electronic/pop music.

Baby Fuzz is an incredible singer songwriter whose career and work captivated me a few years ago. For fans of Sparks, The Lemon Twigs, Dorian Electra and My Chemical Romance
