Continuing the run up to his new album, "Half God", Wiki drops "Can't Do This Alone". Produced by and featuring Navy Blue, the New York City rapper delivers his charismatic and authentic take on modern hip-hop, showcasing his personal lyrical content over a soulful loop-based beat.

GUNNA & FUTURE - "TOO EASY"

Teaming up on "Too Easy", Gunna and Future exhibit their braggadocious attitude and status as two of trap music's central figures. Propelled with skittering hi-hats, booming sub bass and plucked melodies, the two rappers deliver a quick fire flurry of autotune inflected verses.

DJ STINGRAY 313 - "MOLECULAR LEVEL SOLUTIONS"

Relaunching his iconic record label, Micron Audio, DJ Stingray 313 shares "Molecular Level Solutions" - a foray into the carbon footprint of the DJ and producer's native Detroit. Propelling the listener through a whirling plethora of sounds and rhythms, the electro and techno mainstay continues to exhibit his singular vision and unique conceptual perspective.

MARINA HERLOP - "MIU"

Sharing her first single for Bill Kouligas' label PAN, Marina Herlop's captivating "miu" is a rich tapestry of layered vocals, melancholic bass and chopped up drum patterns. Utilising the South Indian vocal technique of konnakol, Herlop blends influences to create a wholly entrancing world of sound.

BOYS NOIZE - "+/-"

Offering a compelling utilisation of dance music tropes, Boys Noize enlists a star-studded cast of guest features across "+/-". Combining hard dance aesthetics with pop vocals, the German producer deftly transcends genre to deliver a unique take on club-ready anthems.
