Enfnts Terribles

1. Nina Kraviz — Bailando (nk & david löhlein version)

There is no debate. One of the best techno DJs in the world, Nina Kraviz, is working more than ever on her own music. Her latest feat reworked the eternal summer hit “bailando” by Belgium’s Paradisio. The Russian artist put the classic in a techno jacket and added some more sensuality to the song with her sultry vocals. We never expected Nina Kraviz’s “bailando” version to make us so happy, but we love it!

2. Kiimi — Know Someone

This new UK star in the electro sky twinkles brighter than ever before. Kiimi is on a meteoric rise, delivering a particularly danceable track with “Know Someone”, combining different emotions. Euphoria, mourning, joy, and sadness go hand in hand, creating an undeniably engaging oasis of melodies. One of the world’s most progressive producers is ready for bigger things.

3. COUCOU CHLOE — DRIFT

Leading French producer and artist COUCOU CHLOE will release her new project Fever Dream on Sept. 27, which will feature collaborations with Eartheater, Matt OX, and Brodinski, among others. “DRIFT,” a bass ballad, already hints at what we can expect and shows that COUCOU CHLOE remains true to her engaging sound. We are already looking forward to the full project.

4. OSKAR O. — Religious Psychosis

OSKAR O. released a particularly successful project with her new EP, Religious Psychosis, finding light in dark times. The title track succeeds in capturing that energy and exposes the emotions through the various dynamic changes. Hyperpop often sounds too superficial, but that is not true for this American artist’s music.

5. Dorian Electra — anon

If pop music is undergoing a revolution then American pop revolutionist Dorian Electra is ahead of it. October sees the release of their third album, of which “Anon” is now the third single. The bass thumps delightfully, but it is mostly the catchy chorus that sticks out among all the ominous tunes. “Anon” is perhaps Dorian’s catchiest song to date.

6. Poppy — Knockoff

Poppy is not a blank page in many ways yet is still a mystery to many. With a new album on the horizon, this makes it all the more interesting to see how the American artist has evolved. “Knockoff” embraces the lovely yet menacing nature of her artistic vision, making her sound more accessible than ever while still inspiring alternative fans.

7. Victoria Canal — Company

Among all the rousing beats, Victoria Canal provides some peace and quiet this week with “Company”. The rising British singer-songwriter fully bares her soul in her music and manages to provide the right poignancy. On “Company”, she offers us company with her soft voice and hits the right chord with the quiet guitar number. We’re keeping an eye on this exciting songstress.

8. Kate Stewart — Never Enough

The disco revolution in the pop world is still bearing its fruits, because with “Never Enough”, Kate Stewart also ventures onto the dance floor with a groove-filled number. On top of that, the Londoner also draws inspiration from her R&B sound, which immediately pulls you into the upbeat “Never Enough”. We may never get enough of it.

9. Becca Means — My Darling

Debuting American singer Becca Means immediately throws everything into the mix on her first single, “My Darling”, to ensure her debut does not go unnoticed. In doing so, the song capitalizes on the trends started by Olivia Rodrigo and Baby Queen, but Means gives it a slightly different twist. Besides a particularly strong vocal performance, the cool and sing-along chorus is the absolute star of this stunning debut.

10. Kito and Lolo Zouaï – Sticky

Australian Kito is without a doubt one of the best producers of the moment and is only too happy to collaborate with other calibers of the pop world. This time she managed to convince Lolo Zouaï to provide a summer atmosphere on “Sticky.” The single lies somewhere between drum ‘n’ bass and UK Garage but still has a pop aspect that will make you press the repeat button silly just to keep listening.
