Petite Noir: New Wave Goth by Way of World Music
Cape Town’s Yannick Iluga, better known by his stage name Petite Noir, is the perfect candidate to subvert your myopic view of what sort of music could come out from South Africa.
VMPRMYTH: Everlasting Beat
While lacking in vowels, VMPRMYTH doesn’t in talent. He is one DJ-producer to watch out for.
Sharliza Jelita: Manic Pixie Dream Songstress
UK-based Singaporean songstress Sharliza Jelita is quirkier than Zooey Deschanel tripping on peyote. Yet we can’t help but be enthralled by her; there’s electricity in not just her genre of choice, but also her eccentricity.
Bihzhu: The Nightingale Sings
Singer-songwriter Bihzu is one of those artists that has clear, crisp vocals, which sings about the beauty life brings without being too overly nauseous or smug about it.
Sonnymoon: A Force That Comes in Peace
Ethereal aliens Sonnymoon makes music you’d imagine tripping to before you reach some sort of self-actualisation epiphany.
We Were Evergreen: Evergreen They Still Are
We Were Evergreen is a band made up from a trio of Parisians. Their quirky musical lyrics and use of playful instruments sets them apart from many other bands who are both in the Indie and Mainstream.
Get Tangled in Jamie Parisio
A new contributor to the singer/songwriter community. This London boy is someone to look out for.
Haleek Maul: Stygian Teen Brooding
There’s something about the younger generation of hip hop today that just churns out unexpected quality stuff left and right, Barbadian Haleek Maul combines witch house with the dark (but not horrorcore) content of Odd Future.
Adam Kasturi: Literary Beat Maker
Adam Kasturi is a true bedroom producer and outsider musician — he’s never seen at gigs, clubs, art events, or anywhere really — but we think he’s the one producer to look out for in the local beat scene.
Maharajalela: Off the Grid Reign
Raksasa, whose stage name is another nickname, Maharajalela, released his LP Jualbeli Tanggapan recently. A little known album that deserves wider recognition.
