  • Wet Leg team up with HorsegiirL for high-octane remix of ‘CPR’

    The Dancefloor Meets Divinity: Wet Leg and HorsegiirL Ignite a High-Octane Remix

    In the vibrant world of music, where heavy beats meet surprising lightness, Wet Leg has teamed up with the electrifying DJ HorsegiirL to deliver a remix that is as high-octane as it is heartfelt. The collaboration on a new take of their single ‘CPR’ is proving that sometimes the most powerful sounds emerge when unexpected talents collide.

    HorsegiirL didn’t just step in with a remix; she injected her own voice and energy into the track, adding a verse that adds a fresh layer to the heavy sound. This dynamic pairing has already been spotlighted, as HorsegiirL performed the track alongside the band at the Coachella 2026 festival earlier this year, demonstrating a shared appetite for immersive, high-energy performance.

    This exciting new version is set to feature prominently on an expanded edition of the band’s acclaimed 2025 LP, ‘Moisturizer’. This deluxe release promises fans some exclusive content, including three previously unreleased live songs, a remix of ‘mangetout’ by The Dare and Fontaines D.C, and the popular DJ version of ‘Catch These Fists’. It is a true celebration of their sound, offering fans a deeper dive into the artistic vision.

    The success of Wet Leg’s journey is undeniable. Their debut album landed high on critical lists, and their work continued to resonate across genres. The record was praised by NME for seeing the band “return smarter, sexier and altogether stronger,” establishing them as serious contenders in the alternative scene.

    Beyond the music itself, the band has demonstrated a commitment to meaningful causes. Their second LP has garnered significant recognition, earning nominations at the Grammys and participation in the star-studded ‘Help(2)’ album for War Child, underscoring their role as artists who use their platform for positive change.

    The spirit of joyful, fearless expression extends to HorsegiirL’s own work. Her debut album, ‘Nature Is Healing’, was similarly lauded for its blend of humor and depth, being described as “divine equine dance bangers that balance humour with heart.”

    This blend of artistic integrity and playful experimentation defines their work. HorsegiirL has openly shared her experience rooted in queer underground rave culture, a background that fuels her confidence to move freely across diverse dance genres without hesitation. It is this fearless approach that shines through in every project.

    As the momentum continues, Wet Leg is gearing up for an exciting series of outdoor UK dates, bringing their powerful sound to audiences across the country, including shows in Manchester, Leeds, and London. The stage is set for more noise, more heart, and more brilliant collaborations.

  • 16 New Songs Out Today

    The world of music is a relentless, dazzling machine, constantly spitting out new sounds and ideas at breakneck speed. For those of us who chase the pulse of what’s next, the weekly soundtrack reveals a breathtaking collision of genres: from haunting indie melancholy to explosive dancefloor anthems, and deep dives into nostalgic pain. This week’s musical landscape is anything but predictable, offering a collection of tracks that are sharp, messy, and utterly compelling.

    Dive into the fresh sounds dropping right now. We’re tracking releases that blend high-energy remixes with introspective lyricism, showcasing artists who aren’t just making music—they are crafting entire emotional worlds.

    In the electronic sphere, the energy is infectious. Hayley Williams’ new project Power Snatch, collaborating with Daniel James, is hitting the airwaves with two tracks that offer a fascinating duality: the high-octane electro banger “Training” sits beside the dreamy lullaby “Great.” Meanwhile, London artist Tiberius B joins in, providing another dose of kinetic energy.

    The dance floor is clearly demanding attention, particularly when boundaries are blurred. Wet Leg and horsegiirL have teamed up for a remix of “CPR,” a track that successfully smashes two distinct stages together with raw force.

    Mood shifts dramatically across the spectrum. For those seeking ambient depth, Kneecap’s “Cold at the Top” has been reimagined by Shanti Celeste, whose light, housey spin strips away vocals to leave behind pure, hypnotic rhythm. This kind of sonic alchemy proves that even a familiar melody can be transformed into something entirely new.

    The introspective side of music is equally rich. Dent May’s latest offering, “I Remember…,” is a masterclass in navigating nostalgia—not as a sweet memory, but as the raw, bittersweet ache of experience. Inspired by cinematic pain, this stream-of-consciousness recollection captures the good and the bad of a relationship that dissolved.

    Meanwhile, rock veterans are still delivering powerful statements. The Rolling Stones have released two new tracks from their upcoming album Foreign Tongues, including “Divine Intervention,” which features a stunning guitar contribution from The Cure’s Robert Smith. This continues the legacy of iconic musicians redefining the boundaries of rock.

    Across the indie spectrum, artists are embracing the dramatic. Australian indie rockers Girl and Girl have released their new two-track single “It’s Dead” and “Hell,” hinting at a willingness to confront heavier themes directly.

    Deeper musical explorations also surface: Bodywash, the Montreal duo, returned with the hazy jangle of their new single “Come and Go.” Their process is as compelling as the result; in-person collaboration led to a shared burst of energy that birthed the track organically.

    For those looking for raw vulnerability, Smirk’s single “Going Off to Die” speaks to a sense of quiet defeat and reckoning, exploring the shame of leaving Los Angeles behind. This feeling is further explored in his upcoming album Speculative Fiction.

    The dance floor continues its relentless pursuit of new forms, with London’s acid house project DECIUS—featuring members of Fat White Family and Warmduscher—releasing the latest installment of their DECIUS TRAX series. Their track “3 NOVUS slices of PURE dance floor AURUM, primed & READY” is a vibrant statement for any late-night session.

    Finally, we find tracks that simply demand to be heard: Blondshell’s new LP features the title track “Violins,” while Sugar offers a fresh perspective with their new song “Keep Looping.” And for fans of atmospheric depth, the taste of the legendary Joy Division’s Eternal: Live box set is already proving its worth.
