Born in London with a Turkish-Sri Lankan background, BODUR embraces her background and identities through her alternative electronic music. She takes a strong stance in self-love while having an appreciation for her heritage, a difficulty many experience when connecting their different worlds growing up. She hopes to inspire South Asian and Middle Eastern women across the nation for generations to come.
She explores these themes in her song “GORGEOUS,” which is a track in her latest EP “ÖZ.” This powerful track manages to keep a unique melody that is both an ode to her past and representative of the present. The experimental production breaks barriers with an eccentric electronic sound while taking accents from pop. This all wraps into an immersive experience that's worth checking out.

Let loose with Humane The Moon. From Leytonstone in East London, Humane The Moon crafted an indie alternative style after taking part in various bands growing up. This made his style blend in genres, taking from rock and punk creating a fluid combination of the two and others. He hopes that his music connects with the hearts of listeners while still having a sound that is lively, loose and likely to get people moving around.
His new song “I Saw A Dog” on his latest EP “Mythomania,” captures the joy found in life even in the smallest of moments. Coming to a personal place, Humane The Moon uses the track to capture the cycle of routine that can be discouraging for many people. The track is incredibly structured and simplistic making it easy to get wrapped into its melody. “Mythomania” carries this theme and sound that can fuel the spirit.
