Plàsi: Salamina (EP)

If you lean into the winds of change, you’ll take flight in the direction of your destiny. Plàsi (aka Mikael Bitzarakis) embraces a natural inclination towards evolution. Rather than tread the same territory or comfortably drift into the rhythm of the past, the Greco-Swedish singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist steadily shifts course on his 2024 EP, Salamina

Linc Phelp: Hundred Percent (Single)

Linc Phelps is one of those salt of the earth people that is known far and wide in the tight knit Australian country music industry. You know, a real good bloke. A great performer and singer and a bit of a legend if being honest.

 

Award winners, Melody Moko and Jen Mize constantly sing his praises as one of Australia’s ‘best kept secrets’. It was his down to earth nature and incredible talent that led to him being offered a deal with new indie label, Nybor Records. Phelps joined the label roster alongside the award winning, Darlinghurst in May 2024, dropping his first released under the new deal, “Hundred Percent”, just weeks later.

Justine Tyrell: Ghost Town (EP)

As she gears up to release her sophomore EP this Fall, Justine Tyrell unveils "Ghost Town", a collaboration with Canadian R&B sensation K. Forest and a return to her sonic and lyrical roots. A song about the instinct to turn inward during tough times rather than expressing true feelings to family and friends, Tyrell and K. Forest unite to pull back the veil on the universality of loneliness from multiple perspectives.

Devon Cole: Good Guy (Single)

Canadian songstress Devon Cole accepts that she can’t fall for the “Good Guy” on new single out now. 

 

A flirty bass line and a funky guitar accompany Devon’s exploration into her questionable dating choices. She admits that while she doesn’t naturally go for the “safer” choice, she sometimes wishes she would.
