Malmö duo MAMI UMAMI channel burnout, club culture and modern chaos into their restless new EP, AFTERwork. Malmö’s underground scene has always thrived in the space between tension and release and MAMI UMAMI sit right in the middle of that collision. On their new EP AFTERwork, the duo bottle the spiralling overstimulation of modern adulthood and shake it into something messy, magnetic and completely alive. Consisting of Jaquelin Elamiri and Leonard Furby, MAMI UMAMI have stea

For the London-via-essex star Ruti, the release of “I’ll Be Your Friend” marks a clear turning point for the musician. The track represents the culmi

WORDS MAISIE JANE DANIELS Amber Mark was raised between continents — from Tennessee to New York, Miami to Berlin, with formative years spent across Asia — her world has been shaped by constant change, cultural crossover, and a deep sensitivity to sound and feeling. With Pretty Idea, that sense of movement settles into something more intentional. The project feels like both a release and a reflection — a body of work that carries the emotional weight of time, quietly held and

Through bold styling and precise composition, Framed Solitude explores isolation as a form of quiet power. Each image holds a moment of stillness, where identity exists just beyond the boundaries that try to shape it. Amiru we

Pop’s newest main character enters her “don’t text back” era F Word is back with IVY — fresh off the energy of our recent catch-up (read it here), IVY steps into a sharper, more self-assured lane with her new single “Text/Ex” — a slick, emotionally charged pop moment that cuts straight through the noise. Where earlier releases flirted with playful confidence, this one lands with intention. At its core, “Text/Ex” is about that all-too-familiar grey area: late-night messages,

WORDS MAISIE JANE DANIELS Belly, the Kentish Town bistro from restaurateur Omar Shah, is the ultimate dinner date destination for anyone who loves bold flavours, incredible hospitality, and a buzzing atmosphere. The restaurant champions Filipino-inspired small plates, and my guest and I went all in on plenty of belly-busting dishes. With accolades including a well-deserved spot in the Michelin Guide, we felt we couldn’t not indulge. I recommend kicking things off with a cockt

Behind the Scenes with BombayMami at BBC Maida Vale BombayMami is a Swiss-Indian artist stepping fully into her own. With her latest album Peaceful Attitude, she delivers a sound that is as bold as it is self-assured, blending cultures, identities, and influences into something entirely her own. Rooted in honesty and driven by instinct, Peaceful Attitude marks a shift: a release defined by letting go — of expectations, of being palatable, of the need to be liked. What remains

WORDS ROB CORSINI When she was growing up, panicbaby was full of anxiety, with a feeling that the world was a terrifying place which she’d somehow found herself within. But now, raised on the internet and brought up by Tumblr, she’s taking hold of the fear so that she can destroy it - and replacing it with rage instead. Across her debut EP (playfully titled f u jonathan ) and her new single ‘ get naked ’, panicbaby explores the rawness of heartbreak and its inevitable co

WORDS MAISIE JANE DANIELS Born from the mind of London-based musician and poet Charley Palmer Rothwell, Truman is a project that exists somewhere between reality and reconstruction; an alter ego shaped by memory, environment, and the things left unsaid. His debut album Kid Raise Kid is an unravelling body of work rooted in working-class London, it traces inherited trauma, identity, and the systems that shape us - often without us realising.
