Garbage Garden, the experimental project based in Japan, returns with a new single “Quiet Garden”
The son is the opening chapter of the “Still Being” series. It’s an exploration of human existence and the paradox of intimacy, wrapped in a soundscape that balances digital precision with a deep, human touch.
Musically, the track reflects a profound internal struggle. Born from a collaborative process with co-producer , the song shifted from a personal narrative to a universal exploration of “The Noise.” As the artist explains, it is about the “hand that held the spoon” and the “sweat traded for someone else’s clean slate”—devotion that is consumed but never acknowledged.

Rising artist Rivera RV, originally from Guinea-Bissau and currently based in the UK, has released a new single “Conecta”
Produced by LBeatz, “Conecta” serves as the first single of his upcoming project, the EP 29, scheduled for release at the end of May.
With the release, Rivera reinforces his mission to celebrate and honour Ghetto Zouk, one of the most defining genres of urban Lusophone music.
Born in the late 1990s in the Netherlands by the group Quatro Plus, Ghetto Zouk quickly spread across the African diaspora and captivated an entire generation. Characterized by its strong emotional depth, captivating melodies, and a distinctive urban aesthetic, it became an essential soundtrack of the 2000s.
“I want to bring back Ghetto Zouk in an authentic way. I grew up listening to those sounds, and they are part of my identity. ‘Conecta’ is about returning to the essence, but with a new, more current, and more personal vision,” says Rivera.
Based in the United Kingdom but deeply connected to Lusophone music, Rivera entered the music scene over a decade ago and has performed at venues such as Coliseu dos Recreios, O2 Indigo London, OVO Arena Wembley, Clapham Grand, Manchester Academy Arena, among others.
