Artist: Danny L Harle feat. PinkPantheress
Song: Starlight
Of his new single, Danny L Harle says, “‘Starlight’ reaches for a kind of euphoric melancholy – a guiding light in all of my music. It’s shaped by my love of the melancholic songwriting traditions of Europe from composers like Monteverdi and John Dowland, all the way to 90s Eurodance and the uplifting trance of the 2000s – artists like Gigi D’Agostino and Alice Deejay. PinkPantheress is the dream collaborator for this song, her love for ornamental melodies and hypnotic lyricism fit perfectly into my sound world.” Starlight is the first Danny L Harle release since 2021’s acclaimed Harlecore album, and the first taste of a new era of music!

Artist: Aurora
Song: You Can’t Run From Yourself
This new Aurora track is written exclusively as the opening theme for Season 2 of the hit anime series Kaiju No. 8. Aurora explains: “‘You Can’t Run From Yourself (from Kaiju No. 8)’ was written for those who know the struggle between light and darkness, angels and demons within themselves. It’s about how hard it is to run away from the parts of ourselves that are also a part of who we are.”

Artist: Still Blank
Song: Ain’t Quite Right
This is the second single from duo Still Blank, who explain: “We wrote the song around Christmas in rainy Manchester while listening to a lot of Sonic Youth and PJ Harvey. Usually, Ben leads the music and I work on lyrics and melody, but this one flipped. We wanted it to feel on edge—building tension. The lyrics explore a dysfunctional relationship where both sides are suffocating, and neither can let go. The guitar almost talks back to the vocal, responding with this jarring energy that adds to the unease.”
