Albums | Charcom’s “TOO LATE TO LOVE YOU” Is The Heartbreak Anthem For The Afterparty
Posted by VMan on July 18, 2025
Charcom’s new release, “TOO LATE TO LOVE YOU”, taps into that all-too-familiar feeling of realising what you had when it’s already gone. The NYC-based artist blends his emotional songwriting with cinematic electronic production, creating a track that feels just as at home in your headphones during a quiet moment as it does pulsing through speakers in a packed club. It’s moody, melodic and undeniably moving.
What makes this track special is its simplicity. Built around a looping synth that slowly grows in intensity, the production gives space for every lyric to land. The piano chords feel like memories you can’t shake, and when the beat finally drops, it doesn’t explode but rather expands. It’s a subtle shift that pulls you in deeper instead of trying to blow you away. You can tell Charcom took his time with this one, and it pays off.
Lyrically, “TOO LATE TO LOVE YOU” reads like a late-night text you might never send. Lines like “Is it too late to ask you if we can do this again” carry that specific kind of regret that only shows up when it’s too quiet outside. There’s a vulnerability in Charcom’s voice that feels genuine and unfiltered. He isn’t hiding behind poetic metaphors or polished personas. He’s just being honest, and that honesty is what sticks.
If this single is any indication of what’s coming on Charcom’s upcoming EP, fans can expect more emotionally charged, genre-blending tracks that lean into introspection without losing rhythm. Charcom is clearly carving out his own space in the electronic world, and he’s doing it with heart. “TOO LATE TO LOVE YOU” isn’t just a sad song. It’s a reminder that healing sometimes starts with hitting play.
News | Chloë Wilson Releases ‘Broken Me,’ Beginning an Honest New Chapter
Posted by VMan on July 13, 2025
Independent singer-songwriter Chloë Wilson will release her new single, Broken Me, on July 11, 2025. This track is the first single from her forthcoming debut project, expected later this year.
Written when she was 16 years old and developed over a six-year period, Broken Me addresses themes of unanswered questions and the emotional impact of a first heartbreak. The song underwent several revisions and recordings before reaching its final form.
The track features piano, the first instrument Wilson learned, and combines elements of 1970s ballad style with a modern sound. Influences from artists such as Adele, Tori Amos, and Stevie Nicks are evident, while Wilson’s lyrics offer a personal and clear narrative.
Born in Milton Keynes, Wilson’s musical background includes busking in London and performing across venues in northern England. Her early influences include Fleetwood Mac, Donna Summer, and Led Zeppelin.
Wilson describes Broken Me as her first fully personal songwriting statement, contrasting with earlier work where she used fictional characters to express emotions.
The single will be followed by additional releases leading up to Wilson’s debut EP, scheduled for release on October 24, 2025.

Posted by VMan on July 13, 2025
Australian rock band Vermantics released their new EP, The Pictures You Paint, on July 4, 2025. The EP consists of four tracks that explore themes related to human connection, including empathy, perception, and emotional vulnerability.

Following a successful UK tour with sold-out shows, the band continues to gain recognition.

Electro | “The Motion” Brings Back Classic Dancefloor Energy Thanks To Randy Perez & Ashton Adams
Posted by VMan on July 10, 2025
Phoenix-based producer Randy Perez and Canada-based Ashton Adams dropped “The Motion,” a track built on a fusion of tech house precision and g-house energy. The collaboration ignited after a spark at Miami Music Week 2024, with Randy’s initial rough version evolving into a full, bass-heavy festival-ready anthem.
The single absolutely makes a lasting impression. Ashton’s previous singles like “Move To The Beat Like” and “Alive” have racked up millions of streams, and fans are quickly rallying around “The Motion” with enthusiastic shares and playlist adds.
The song channels a nostalgic vibe, reminding listeners of the early days of dance culture when crowds moved as one. This communal energy is reflected in fan reactions and growing streaming stats.
Behind the scenes, Randy’s pedigree includes performances at Goldrush and Decadence Arizona festivals and opening slots for major artists such as Diplo and Valentino Khan. Ashton continues to build momentum with his BAANGERS tours and sold-out dates on Geordie Kieffer’s Bad Girl Tour.
Albums | Oberka’s ‘Regrow Protocol’ is Daring Journey Through Chaos and Rebirth
Posted by VMan on July 8, 2025
Taiwanese electronic music visionary Oberka, the creative alias of producer Huang Shao Yong, has delivered an audacious new chapter in his sonic exploration with Regrow Protocol, a 10-track album that defies easy categorization. Released under his own Dark Paradise Records imprint, the album is a bold experiment in sound design and structure — a thrilling fusion of chaos and clarity, rhythm and rupture, noise and narrative.
At the heart of the album is the explosive title track “Regrow Protocol,” which perfectly encapsulates the project’s core philosophy: destruction as a vital precursor to reinvention. What started as a playful live experiment in a Hong Kong hotel room—layering chopped pig “oinks” beneath hypnotic gamelan and balafon loops—evolved into a high-impact sonic statement reworked with warped vocal chops and pulsating rhythmic tension in 2025. This track embodies Oberka’s fearless, unpredictable approach to electronic music, where genre boundaries dissolve and new worlds are forged.
Crafted over nearly a year, Regrow Protocol represents Oberka’s most refined and conceptually rich work to date. Drawing from improvised live sessions, long-form demos, and experimental sampling, the album unfolds like a fractured ecosystem in flux. Tracks like the glitch-heavy “Frog” and the evocative “Please Remember” each contribute to a mosaic of dark energy and cryptic beauty, inviting listeners to unravel the complex textures and rhythms woven throughout.
Albums | RAMI SADAWI’s Debut EP NEVER HOME // MISS U Redefines the Blueprint for Modern Hip-Hop
Posted by VMan on June 27, 2025
Swedish producer, artist, and sonic architect RAMI SADAWI plants his flag with NEVER HOME // MISS U, a debut EP that’s equal parts confessional journal, analog grit, and forward-thinking sonic design. Dropping May 30, the project is a seismic first statement from a name that underground heads and industry tastemakers alike will soon know well.
At the heart of the project is the standout track “Flying”—a hypnotic, sample-driven ride through ambition, addiction, and the emotional toll of life in overdrive. There’s a rawness here that’s impossible to ignore. SADAWI builds the beat on minimal, dusty loops and thick basslines, letting tension simmer while a razor-sharp emcee delivers bars that cut deep. The cadence and cadence recall the gravity of Mick Jenkins, the hustle of Freddie Gibbs, and the street poet clarity of Benny the Butcher. But make no mistake: this is not imitation. This is RAMI curating a sound that breathes its own atmosphere.
More than just a producer with a keen ear, SADAWI’s music carries a cinematic quality—each track feeling like a scene in a noir film set inside a smoke-filled basement club at 3AM. His analog-digital hybrid approach creates space for vulnerability to rise to the surface, and the result is a body of work that’s both meditative and propulsive. “Flying” isn’t just for the heads who live for bars—it’s a song for anyone navigating the chaos of modern life, where ambition is currency and burnout is the cost.
SADAWI isn’t new to heavyweights either. His résumé already includes credits alongside Grammy-winning and -nominated artists like Nisj, Mona Masrour, L1na, and a recent co-production with Mike Hector (Kendrick Lamar, Frank Ocean) and Malik Ninety Five (Playboi Carti, Doechii). If that wasn’t enough, he’s also connected with creative forces like Tommy Black (Snoh Aalegra, Kendrick Lamar) and EMIL (Doja Cat, Sampha)—proof that his sonic universe is expansive, yet deliberate.
NEVER HOME // MISS U is more than an introduction—it’s a manifesto. RAMI SADAWI is crafting soundscapes that challenge and inspire, rooted in hip-hop tradition but unafraid to leap into the unknown. With Flying leading the way, this EP cements SADAWI as a visionary force on the rise, turning minimalism into maximal impact.
