Peach PRC - Heavy

Australian singer songwriter Peach PRC has released her emotionally charged new single and video ‘Heavy’.

CHAII - Pineapple Pizza

Hayden James - Waiting For Nothing (feat. Yaeger)

Hit-maker Hayden James unleashes his latest dose of euphoria in “Waiting For Nothing” feat. Yaeger. The track sees Hayden James continue with his trademark sound. A chopped and warped vocal sits over a percussive, house driven rhythm section, all weaved between rising and euphoric synths. 

Slayyyter - Stupid Boy featuring Big Freedia
