N33T – “all the things i couldn’t change” EP

At just 20 years old, Melbourne-based artist N33T has delivered a genre-defying, deeply introspective journey with their debut album, ‘all the things i couldn’t change’, out now via San Holo’s bitbird label. This hyperpop-meets-alt-dance project captures a vivid experience, brimming with nostalgic nods to 2000s emo, shimmering synths, and the pop-driven pulse of artists like The 1975 and Porter Robinson. The album showcases N33T’s remarkable songwriting, seamlessly blending kinetic musical energy with raw, emotive storytelling. Previously released singles include “Mirrors”, “try!”, “NOTHING”, and “if i could be more direct (tbh)”. Collectively, they have garnered significant attention, notching over 200K streams with “if i could be more direct (tbh)” earning a placement on Spotify’s esteemed ‘Fresh Finds’ playlist.

Each song also captures a distinct facet of N33T’s influences. Channeling the edge of mid 2000s emo-pop punk, “aw man!” captures a carefree, summer-like warmth, while “placebo” evokes the glitzy, neon-lit energy of the ’80s with bold drums and bright synths. On “insecure”, N33T explores a more introspective, vulnerable side, contrasting with the hyperpop exuberance of “new best friend”, which delivers dynamic, layered vocals. “mono/dialogue” offers a beautiful instrumental interlude, blending saxophone and ‘80s flair, and the album’s closing track, “garden”, wraps up the journey with soft piano and ambient bird sounds, leaving listeners in a state of reflective calm.

kae low – “language” EP (Grand Alliance Music)

In this latest release, a two-track EP titled language, by kae low, the innovative and free-spirited up-and- coming producer from the Redwood’s showcases his most recent talents. This immersive debut EP marks his humble yet promising entry into the rich electronic music lineage of Humboldt County, West Coast Bass Music and beyond. Blending overarching incantations; healing sine waves mixed with playful expressions through skillful, articulated production, he sets a clear intention to make his mark starting here and now with his debut EP on Grand Alliance Music.

Knock 2 & RL Grime – “come aliv3”

Prodigious electronic music producer Knock2 has teamed up with trap pioneer RL Grime for “come aliv3,” the third single from Knock2’s forthcoming debut LP, nolimit. “come aliv3” represents the final 2024 release for Knock2, who is wrapping up his biggest year yet. At only 25-years-old, the young producer has spent the past half-decade expanding his international presence with ubiquitous hit records like “dashstar*” and “Rock Ur World” (which have amassed a combined 100 million+ streams across platforms). In 2024, Knock2 has continued his unceasing momentum with solo performances at festivals such as Bonnaroo and Outside Lands, in addition to nurturing his collaborative duo ISOKNOCK (ISOxo + Knock2), who surprise dropped their debut album 4EVR while taking the stages at Coachella, ULTRA Japan, and North Coast Music Festival.

“come aliv3” – an electric blend of progressive sounds with house and trap elements – represents another exciting chapter in Knock2 and RL Grime’s long-standing history. The veteran trap legend has been a champion of Knock2 for years, having released some of the young artist’s earliest music on his Sable Valley imprint, and taken Knock2 on Sable Valley tours.
