On one side, distribution platforms have made it possible for anyone to release music worldwide with minimal friction. On the other, record labels remain the gatekeepers of deeper infrastructure: campaign strategy, editorial reach, coordinated pitching, and the intangible momentum systems that help releases move beyond simply being uploaded. For most independent artists, the realit

Benjii Cee of Twin Frequency on time shifts, perception, and the quiet power of organic house “One of the strange little things my brain likes to do is play with time.” Not in a sci-fi, DeLorean sense — nothing cinematic or spectacular — but in the quieter, everyday paradoxes that feel just as uncanny. Like stepping onto a plane for nine hours and landing somewhere only two hours ahead. It feels like time travel. And, technically speaking, in a small, physics-approved way, it

For Harris Eaglestone , music has never been a phase—it’s been a constant. From learning guitar at just nine years old to discovering rap through his school friends, creativity has always been at the centre of his life. Early memories include long nights in a mate’s shed, spitting bars over any beat they could find purely for the love of it. What began as fun soon became something deeper. Rap turned into an outlet for personal struggles, a way to process emotions and speak on

Free playlist pitching has become one of the most searched phrases in independent music promotion — and for good reason.

Music has always been human first. Before algorithms, before automation, before artificial intelligence, music was created through lived experience — emotion, struggle, joy, intuition, and soul. It was shaped by hands, guided by feeling, and finished with intention. That truth still matters. As AI-generated music becomes increasingly sophisticated — and increasingly difficult to distinguish from human-made work — the industry faces a defining moment. Not one of resistance to
