Sam Gendel is leaving the saxophone at the door. The wildly prolific American musician has announced his new album Advanced White Trash, due November 6, and shared its restless lead single ‘Pattern Dance’ — a maximalist collision of glitch, rap, R&B and deconstructed hyperpop. “People think of me as a saxophonist, and I get that,” Gendel says. “But a large portion of my music has nothing to do with that instrument.” Advanced White Trash makes that point pretty convincingly.

London multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter Tiger Braun-White is back with ‘Runway Baby’, a bright, groove-led pop track about ditching the wait for the “perfect” moment and getting on with living. Out now, ‘Runway Baby’ finds Braun-White leaning into an upbeat, melodic sound while tackling the all-too-familiar habit of putting life on hold until everything finally falls into place.

Tokyo artist and composer Yuma Koda has shared ‘ende’, the final single from his forthcoming debut album Amid Kinos, out October 2 via Newhere Music.

Maribou State closed LIDO Festival 2026 with the kind of set that made a temporary goodbye feel less like an ending and more like a promise. As the sun dropped over Victoria Park on Monday, Chris Davids and Liam Ivory took to the stage to headline the final night of LIDO’s 2026 run, bringing their widescreen blend of electronics, live instrumentation and deep, rolling grooves to a crowd that was more than ready to lose itself in it.

The Austrian-Iranian artist has released “Actress”, the latest single from her forthcoming album before/after, out this Friday via Stones Throw.

Twenty One Pilots closed All Points East 2026 with a full-scale, pyrotechnic-heavy spectacle on Sunday night, bringing the curtain down on another huge summer in Victoria Park. The GRAMMY Award-winning duo topped a stacked final-day bill featuring Wunderhorse, Ren, Gang of Youths, bbno$, PVRIS, Nova Twins, Hot Milk, LEAP and more — and they didn’t exactly do things quietly. Opening with ‘Overcompensate’, Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun were met with deafening singalongs from the of
