All my favourite little details of electro-pop are present in Faunaphor’s debut single ‘In A Library, In The Summer.’ The expansive sizzling synths, the steady restrained beat and the Spandau Ballet esque melodies. “‘in a library, in the summer (when I read I fall asleep)’ is a song about language and the moments when it…
Launchpad: Gallo
Gallo’s debut single ‘Sugar Daddy’ is a vibrant pop bop with effervescent vocals. “With “Sugar Daddy” I wanted to write a sing along. Lyrically it’s super playful and very tongue in cheek.

On The Record: Joy Crookes
“Koz had heard some of my stuff and asked me bluntly whether I liked Nina Simone to which I replied – “Nina? Are you serious? She’s a goddess to me”, or something along those lines.
