Armed with a Microbrute and Volca Drum in hand, visual and performance artist ila’s first sound-based works manifest themselves in a spiritual collection of techno-adjacent beatscapes.

Although an impressive feat of DIY indie rock songwriting and production, Maneloren’s first single unfortunately squanders its potential with its lacklustre vocal performance.

Evaporating the busyness of his former aliases (e.g. Yllis) into ephemeral mist, W. Y. Huang’s new evocative ode displays an artist finding his way through a new uncertain future. It’s a poetic signal for a new beginning.

Microchip Terror’s undated sound fills the imagination with the terrors of a System Shock-esque world – with B-movie body horror and haunted Nintendo cartridges alike.

Remaking his first album, Theron’s The Boy Who Felt Forever Blue traverses tales of friendship, coming-of age and heart-on-sleeve confessionalism with ambitious, winding epics.

A sensitive detour that melts down his ferocious, breakcore-tinged facade, deførmed melts down to an oddball indie rock ode to his prospective takes on love.

Alt-rap collective Unknown Radicals make their return with a thumping tribute to pre-pandemic club-going that doesn’t shy away from partying’s seedier and more unpleasant sides. Much like a night of getting smashed, it’s as exhilarating as it is nasty.

Despite leaning strongly on his influences, Persephone’s Garden definitely establishes P_NEDA as having his own strong voice and identity within Singaporean rap, and it’s heartening to see yet another hip-hop artist bring his own fresh and distinct sound to the table.
