Tony Frissore – Quarantine Chronicles
Tony Frissore’s Studio Masterpiece Captures Lockdown’s Echoes
Tony Frissore, known for his ambient downtempo and trip-hop style, invites listeners into his deeply personal soundscape with his album, “Quarantine Chronicles.” Frissore’s music, characterized by haunting tracks like “Socially Distant,” offers a poignant reflection on the isolation and anxiety that marked the early days of global lockdowns. Now, nearly five years later, his work resonates even more strongly in a post-pandemic world.
“Quarantine Chronicles was born out of necessity,” Frissore explains, underlining the album’s purpose as both a personal catharsis and a collective reflection. The blend of stripped-down acoustic arrangements with electronic soundscapes encapsulates a uniquely disorienting yet profoundly relatable auditory experience. It’s a testament to Frissore’s dedication to his craft, honed through his performances with Pop Avenue, where his bass expertise shines through.
By immersing oneself in “Quarantine Chronicles,” listeners are transported into a musical realm that underscores the struggles and resilience of a shared human experience, now immortalized in every note.

Sonic Rebellion: LÂLKA Invokes Inner Fire with Willfire
LÂLKA unleashes her latest opus, “Willfire,” an electrifying EP set to ignite dance floors and souls alike. Released on November 6, 2024, via Tomboi Records, this project brilliantly melds experimental electronic pop with culturally resonant narratives. Drawing from the Chinese concept of “Zhì,” LÂLKA explores the unyielding passion that fuels creativity, encapsulating the transformative energy that compels dancers to lose themselves in rhythm.
The EP makes waves with singles like “Yves Klein,” a bass-heavy trap number with ethereal synths mirroring the French artist’s iconic blue to evoke invigorating melancholy, while “Yuh” confronts societal misconceptions of female anger through a dynamic blend of trap and traditional Chinese sounds.
“Willfire” not only showcases LÂLKA‘s unparalleled prowess as a producer and performer but also echoes her commitment to inclusivity.

Azileli – Fruiting Parts
Fruiting Parts by Azileli: Musical Seeds, Ripened for the World
Azileli, the audacious art pop and avant-garde electronic pop innovator, is back with her evocative new EP, “Fruiting Parts.” This South London-born genius is no stranger to metamorphosis, having carved her niche in the confluence of trip-hop, avant pop, and electronic eclecticism.
The title “Fruiting Parts” germinated from a therapeutic epiphany—an allusion to emotions’ growth from minuscule beginnings. Each track on this 5-song sonic exploration personifies an emotion, confronting the discomfort of grief, anger, and isolation. Azileli describes her work as a collection of seeds—intentions captured, cultivated, and ultimately shared to unburden her soul.
Key tracks like “Ignored” encapsulate quintessential electronic angst, resonating with listeners through a prism of subconscious exploration. Azileli’s collaboration with multi-talented artists has paved the way for this release, setting the stage for her headlining performance at The Post Bar, Tottenham, on November 16th.
Prepare for an avant-garde journey through Azileli’s lived experiences, as “Fruiting Parts” bathes audiences in its multifaceted, art pop allure.
Yulan & Blaise – God Complex
“God Complex” by Yulan & Blaise: A Journey Through Electroacoustic Marvel
Prepare to be transported to another galaxy with Yulan & Blaise’s debut single “God Complex,” launched on November 22, 2024. This Australian-American duo, comprised of Yulan Jack and Blaise Garza (of Violent Femmes fame), is breaking ground with a sound inspired by the ‘Bristol Sound’ and 90s sci-fi soundtracks. This track invites reflection on ambition, love, and the questions of who is left behind in an age dominated by Main Character Syndrome.
“God Complex” blurs the boundaries of downtempo electronica with haunting vocals and a mesmerizing EWI (electronic wind instrument) performance, juxtaposed against the ancient tones of shakuhachi flute and erhu. Recorded partly at Frying Pan Studios with the legendary REDD.17 desk and partly in their living room, the song achieves a balance both expansive and intimate.
Within their multidisciplinary prowess, Yulan & Blaise craft a narrative world reflecting endcore’s spirit – “a post-everything world” feeling. Their musical innovation is beautifully captured in a dystopian music video set in an abandoned Tasmanian factory, promising a compelling, contemplative experience.
