The U.K. duo, brothers Tom and Ed Russell, crafted the song using a voice note that Holt sent them in honor of his late brother.

“My brother Thomas Edward Holt had an incredibly adventurous soul that inspired everyone around him,” Holt wrote in an Instagram post. “He took his own life on January 10th, 2017, aged 31. There is no easy way to say that. You bury the pain deep in your heart and the words get stuck in your throat when you try to speak, as the world carries on around you… To make something so positive out of something so crushing is the greatest gift, and I can’t thank Tom, Ed and @williamaspden enough for bringing this song into existence.”

“Knight in Shining Prada” is a standout single on the duo’s upcoming album, Pure Devotion, coming out on August 7 via XL Recordings.

The Russell brothers said they worked on dozens of versions of the single before settling on one they wanted to put out.

“About a year ago he sent us a voice note with a spoken word stream of consciousness that just completely floored us,” they wrote. “We played John’s vocal as loud as we could and sat there with a prophet and 303 listening to it over and over again as the sun came up and the first version started to appear. 83 versions later and it’s done.”

Other tracks on the album including “Lockup,” “Even Angles Ghost,” and “Gem Lingo (ovr now)” have also been released and showcase some of the experimental production techniques that Overmono has adopted, including playing a synth through an old train station speaker, blowing up speakers and baking a crash cymbal in an oven.

His incredible skill shines bright through 13 songs on the album alongside voices new and old to him. It features Dua Lipa, PinkPantheress, Clairo, Caroline Polachek, Oklou & MNEK, Julia Michaels, Kacha (from the electro-pop group Coals) and even one of his own daughters.

Harle, aka “Huge Danny,” considers Cerulean to be his true debut album, following up his 2021 release of Harlecore, and is promoting it as his most definitive artistic statement to date. The album does sound like it comes from another world full of sounds that are certainly welcome to human ears here. “I love how it feels on the threshold between dreams and reality,” said Harle. “There can be a scene where there’s nothing alien in it, but it feels like a portal to something else.”

Cerulean feels like the next natural chapter in Harle’s storied career, which began in the 2010s when he emerged from the PC Music collective and went on to work with some of the biggest names in pop including Charli XCX, Carly Rae Jepsen, FKA Twigs, Florence and The Machine and many of the voices featured on the album.

Now comes a new chapter: “Azimuth.” Danny L Harle’s latest release is a trance-tinged ballad that feels both intimate and monumental, designed entirely around Polachek’s voice. As Harle puts it: “Azimuth’s melody could only have been sung by Caroline, it is designed around her voice, I couldn’t imagine anyone else singing it or giving a performance like that.” The song captures their chemistry at full force, weaving space, silence, and shimmering emotion into something he describes as “despairing but hopeful,” like a hymn for a sunken cathedral dance floor.

Following this summer’s “Starlight” with PinkPantheress, “Azimuth” extends Harle’s return to solo work post-Harlecore. And with these recent drops and signing to XL Recordings, it feels like he might be lining up something bigger…

Following the excellent singles “Max Potential” and “9 2 5,” Nourished By Time has just dropped “BABY BABY.” The latest preview of the album is described in a press release as “a deadpan dispatch from the frontlines of desire and dysfunction.” Over sleek, club-ready breakbeats, Brown sings, “Let’s get it crackin’, chemical reaction/ Low on money, quite high on passion,” capturing the messy intersection of longing and late-night recklessness.

The accompanying video, filmed by Caroline Waxse at New Jersey’s sprawling American Dream entertainment complex, mirrors that overstimulated, chaotic energy with its endless loop of escalator rides, imposing structures, and a search for meaning amid excess. Watch below.

Today, the two artists unite on “Starlight,” and it’s everything we hoped for: dreamy, hyper-emotional, and bursting with energy. Describing the song, Danny calls it “an ode to our shared musical memories – rave, UKG, happy hardcore – filtered through our own hyper-maximal lens.” That nostalgic yet futuristic blend comes through clearly, with PinkPantheress’s featherlight vocals gliding effortlessly over Harle’s epic, high-octane production.

“It’s shaped by my love of the melancholic songwriting traditions of Europe from composers like Monteverdi and John Dowland, all the way to 90s Eurodance and the uplifting trance of the 2000s – artists like Gigi D’Agostino and Alice Deejay,” he adds. “PinkPantheress is the dream collaborator for this song, her love for ornamental melodies and hypnotic lyricism fit perfectly into my sound world.”

Now, Marcus Brown, the Baltimore mastermind behind the Nourished by Time moniker, has dropped another new track from the album: “9 2 5.” Leaning into the rhythms of Baltimore club, the track sparkles with swirling production while delving into the grind of working life. It’s a personal anthem about balancing the demands of a day job with the often thankless hustle of making art.

Brown recently made a splash at Primavera Sound in Barcelona, and he’s just kicked off a sprawling tour that stretches across the U.S., Canada, and Europe. Along the way, he’ll be joined by artists like Zsela, Tony Bontana, Laura Groves, and Joviale on select dates. He will also be also playing at the C2C Festival in Turin this year, and we’ll definitely be on the front row to see him.

Now, Brown is back with his second full-length album, The Passionate Ones, due out this August and marking his first release with XL Recordings. Written across Baltimore, London, and NYC, the album is described as “a sermon, a twelve-track catharsis, howled from the underbelly of late-stage capitalism.” It offers a powerful meditation on labor, love, and hope, told through the lens of an artist pushing forward despite the odds.

The first taste of the album is already here: the shimmering lead single “Max Potential”, complete with a self-directed video shot in NYC. Watch and support via Bandcamp below.
