Joshua Worden – Tennessee
Adorned in flowers and a “no sweat” approach in his press shot, Joshua Worden oozes an effortlessly cool approach to his music.

Retro Kid – Retro Kid (RK Version)
So it turns out you can make music from literally anywhere, including a studio with equipment sitting on ironing boards!
Usually one for more indietronica stuff, the bedroom producer Retro Kid has pulled this one out the bag for his DJ set, which is to be aired on BBC Introducing’s Big Bangers weekend on 29 March.
The track takes influence from the many late nights in Copenhagen and was largely produced with a headache the day after.
Sounds like: Röyksopp, Jungle, Hot Chip, Little Dragon

JINKA – Countdown Forever
Berlin-based artist JINKA shares the experimental and rather sporadic ‘Countdown Forever’, full of plonky synth sounds.
Speaking about the track, JINKA states,
“Countdown Forever is about an illusional state of infinite hedonistic experience. The title is paradoxical. But just because something is paradoxical it doesn’t mean you can’t explore the idea of it. I think, what I generally do when I’m writing is that I try to take a different perspective on the mundane, dip crude reality into some sort of surreal glossing, romanticize it without smoothening the contours.”
