Two exceptional artists for you to get your ears around today. All residing in a gorgeous indie soundscape, these tunes will leave you feeling captivated for the rest of the week!
DAX – THE ABYSS
One word to describe this release is powerful. A truly remarkable journey through realms of escaping and running away when times get hard, ‘The Abyss’ was written about the process that Dax felt stuck in. There’s a relatable element to this anthem that feels comforting. Residing in a soulful soundscape that shimmers with rap elements and contagious hip-hop production, hip-hop isn’t my usual go-to genre, but there’s something about Dax that keeps drawing me back.
An artist who knows exactly what he wants with his production and songwriting, ‘The Abyss’ is easily one of the best releases I’ve heard in the past few months. It’s emotional, sensitive, and in some places, assertive. It refuses to be put on the back burner and left in the shadows for someone to take its place. Musically, the rhythm is bathed with a driving drum beat and a loose bass line that guides listeners from the start straight until the end. Like something straight out of a movie that’s about the protagonist trying to navigate through life’s trials and tribulations, this cinematic gem is edgy, elevating, and a hugely motivational piece of music that you need to get your ears around today.

Speaking about the release, Dara shares: “In My Cup is my first release after a break following my last relationship-focused EP and perfectly characterises the energy and outlook I’m coming back with.
