Italian artist Mario Loprete has, for over two decades, been sharing his artistic reading of hip hop by painting the theme, artists, and its role in our daily lives. His work has been exhibited in various public and institutional spaces in Holland, Germany, the U.K. and the U.S.A., attracting the attention of public and private collectors.

Since, Mario has taken on a new artistic project - creating sculptures out of concrete.

The creative force behind YouTube’s billion-view Clash of Clans cinematic universe and Netflix’s Emmy-nominated Entergalactic  (starring Kid Cudi, Timothée Chalamet and more), Fletcher Moules is turning the lens inward with the release of “Maybe”, a melancholic synth-pop postcard from his music project The New Condition.

Meet MOVIESTARZ, the boundary-pushing LA-based musical duo. Bold, playful, and unapologetically original, this group is blending hyperpop energy and beats with wild visuals and high-concept fashion to build a full-on sonic and visual universe for anyone looking to escape the ordinary.

Today, October 10th, they are releasing their new single, “1.M Frequencies” feat. Cali Rodi, off their upcoming debut record FANTASY > REALITY.

Bold, unfiltered, and emotionally charged, “SUPER F★CKING MEGA ST★R” is the latest release from genre-defying artist MARIS, whose fearless songwriting and powerhouse vocals are making waves in the alt-pop scene. The track is a high-voltage blend of frustration, envy, and empowerment—part confession, part anthem, and all heart.

19-year-old singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and visual artist Rhiannon Rodriguez has released her raw new single, “Lie I Can’t Deny”, ahead of her upcoming debut EP, Bittersweet. As an artist, Rhiannon moves fluidly between mediums but, at her core, she’s a storyteller.

Coming off the success of their recent release, "Transjester," Saint Valentine unveils the second chapter of their four-part debut EP of the same title.

"The Good" is a soft hearted love letter to girlhood, an expression of deep admiration and love towards a female best friend, a longing to run away together.

Meg and Kristie tattoo alongside Kristie’s husband Tom and good friend Sophie. We spoke to Meg about all things tattoos - her experience as an artist, everything you need to know when getting a tattoo, and the joys of working in a female-owned tattoo shop.

I forget myself in the melancholy of times,

where the arrows are like scissors

When She looked at the dragon, it seemed to her like air dissolved in hopes, blue, blue, shimmering like a garland and this attracted, like a moth to the radiance…
