Alessandra Grace - Something So Good
With the perkiness and catchiness of a Eurovision song 'Something So Good' does at least live up to its title with a radio-friendly anthemic pop song. (7/10)
Emilia J - Radar
'Radar' is a bouncy pop-electronic crossover with a mixture of tempos, styles and an overly perky, loveable feel. Nice. (7/10)
Hydrocele - The Shapeshifter (Radio Edit)
Landing firmly in the pop-indie camp, 'The Shapeshifter' is a bouncy summer-friendly pop song that might be perhaps a little normal to really grab the wider audience, but it's toe-tapping enough to keep you playing. (6.5/10)
Kaleida - Meter (Dan Carey Remix)
It takes a little to get going but the repetitive, yet catchy, chorus and the simple electronic bleep-bloops make for a fun little electro-indie number. A grower. (6.5/10)
Krucial Kidd - Closer
Sounding like Wiley rapping over a familiar riff from the 90s (I just can't put my finger on it!) this is a bouncy, sparky little number that mixes dance, grime and electronic into a heady mixture. Fun. (6.5/10)
Okenyo - Woman's World
Channelling Missy Elliot at her peak this is a catchy and punky number with lyrics that hit home and a simple, but memorable chorus, and some quirky, upbeat production values, and a surprising amount of variety in its style. (7/10)
Philip Rambow - The Writing's On The Wall
Fusing political lyrics with a folky-country sound, this is an intriguing nod towards modern news with a much older retro sound, and it manages to make both work. (6.5/10)
The Rah Band - Clouds Across the Moon
Remixed with new vocals, this re-appearance of the 1985 classic song is a particularly cheesy entry from that era but if you can get over the dated lyrics and pilot-based opening a fun pop ditty is here, and the new production gives it a bit of a slicker feel. (6/10)
Suffer the Children - Killing Hands
'Killing Hands' is a slow and sombre number but it's this style that gives it a pleasing, gentle sway that takes its low-key production and builds up a strong, atmospheric soundscape, with hints of Enigma. (6.5/10)
Summer Heart - Follow
'Follow' is a smooth pop-indie number with a crisp, ethereal production style and a gentle relaxing vibe. Switch it on and chill out. (6.5/10)
