With his latest endeavour ‘Mono Modern’, Xeno Ray JNB delivers a thoughtful and often challenging record that examines creativity, identity and technological anxiety through a deeply personal lens. Entirely self-written, produced, recorded and mixed by the South Carolina artist, the album feels intentionally unpolished in places, but that rawness ultimately becomes one ofContinue Reading

There’s a certain kind of confidence that only comes from the hard-earned assurance of an artist who has survived every shift in the industry while refusing to soften her edges. Betty Moon returns with ‘Strangely Beautiful’ carrying exactly that energy to deliver something fearless, self-directed, and completely uninterested in creative compromise. The six-track EPContinue Reading
