01. Rich Chigga - Glow Like Dat

Indonesian rapper sensation, Brian Imanuel aka Rich Chigga, is back with a mesmerizing new song called "Glow Like Dat". Brian produced the beat himself, a combination between a swirling guitar and electronic drum beat that can satisfy your brain while listening to it. Like the lyrics, this song can live in your head without a doubt.

02. Daniel Caesar - Best Part (feat. H.E.R)

Toronto based R&B-soul singer and songwriter, Daniel Caesar, finally released his new debut album, called “Freudian.” We love all the songs in this album, every 44 minutes and 10 tracks of it. It’s a great album and we think you should give it a shoot.

03. Clairo - Pretty Girl

Claire Cottrill, AKA her stage name, Clairo, is an acoustic/alternative musician based in Boston, Massachusetts. I fell in love with the simplicity of her music and her smooth vocals. I think 1000 plays of her "Pretty Girl" on Spotify are from me.

04. Luke Million - Hypnotised (feat. Last Dinosaurs)

Luke Million just released his funky, bouncy disco EP "Come Together" and invited his fellow Australian Last Dinosaurs to guest on one of his song "Hypnotised". If you miss Last Dinosaurs then you better check this out.

05. The Fritz - Sound. Habits. Blame.

The Fritz is North Carolina based group, they bring soul-driven dance rock which is interesting because it is hard to find a band that plays this type of music nowadays. The high energy that is delivered in the music through all the elements give so much life to this song.

06. Anomalyst - Losing Game

Jakarta based indie-rock band, Anomalyst, just released music video for their latest single called “Losing Game”. It has definitely grown on me over the last couple days.

07. No Vacation - Yam Yam

A bittersweet feeling, which is exactly what the song is about. No Vacation is a San Fransisco based indie pop band, and they have just shared a new song called “Yam Yam” which was released last May.

08. Shallou - Begin (feat. Wales)

Joe Boston writes and produces warm yet melancholy electronic pop under the name Shallou. Showcasing Shallou’s signature upbeat, warm electronic vibe paired with melodic vocals of Wales.

09. NIKI - See U Never

Jakarta-based singer Niki aka Nicole Zefanya released her newest single, "See U Never" which was produced by SIHK and fellow 88 rising roster, Rich Chigga. The simplicity of her soulful vocals in this song, accompanied by a minimalist electronic sound and captivating lyrics, show how truly well-written this song is.

10. Ary - Childhood Dreams

23 years old singer and multi-instrumentalist Ariadne Loinsworth, aka Ary, makes an impactful impression with her single “Childhood Dreams.”

11. Momus - I Want You, But I Don’t Need You

Nick Currie or more famously known by his stage name, Momus, is not only a songwriter but also an art and design critic, blogger, and former journalist for Wired. “I Want You, But I Don’t Need You” is one of the most listened songs from the Ping Pong album. This song contains the message of sexual consent, in a funny way.

12. Les Sins - Why

Anytime I feel like dancing I would definitely hit the play button on Toro Y Moi’s dance-influenced project, “Les Sins."
