DEXTRIC

Dextric is made up of two Londoners – James Fitz-Gibbon and Charlie Jordan and I’ve been playing these guys for a while. They’ve got a unique sound reminiscent of Jungle and / or Hozier’s first record and are definitely ones to watch! Dextric’s most recent single ‘I Got You’ is an impressive track with funk and electronic tones, impossible to ignore. They’re memorable and I’m constantly recommending that people listen to them.

 

JADU HEART

With their elusive personalities – part of the appeal of Jadu Heart is the mystery behind the identities of the masked duo. They’re made up of Alex Headford and Diva Jeffery who go by the alter egos Dino and Faro, and their bio describes them as ‘dark magic.’ They’ve recently released ‘Melt Away,’ and worked with Producer Mura Masa. The album title sums up how one might feel listening to it – a collection of chilled, electronic vibes.

 

BAELY

Baely is one of those artists that already possesses the sound and skill of a fully developed performer. However, he only released his debut single, ‘Talking to the Walls’ this year. It was inspired by Stranger Things and is an absolute banger and immediately caught my attention. His second single ‘Paranoid’ has a retro, soul but futuristic vibe – contributing to his unique sound and brand. I am very excited for the future of Baely.

 

WEIRD MILK

My next tip is for Weird Milk who owe their name to the milk in European countries tasting a bit ‘odd’. Their sound is 60’s inspired but still very indie – and there are definitely some hints of Alex Turner in there. If you’re looking for new indie bangers – who isn’t?! Then Weird Milk are definitely a band to listen to. They’ve received support from Radio 1’s Jack Saunders and we’ve also had them on the show at Hoxton Radio – keep your eyes and ears peeled.

 

DYLAN

For my final tip this week I want to add DYLAN. I have been following this gal for a while and seeing her get support from BBC Introducing and BBC Radio 1 is so exciting. She started recording songs this year and is only 19 years old. Think early Dua Lipa vibes with an indie and rock twist – this girl is here to stay and I’m here for it!
