British-Greek composer and multi-instrumentalist Christos Anagnostou Daly has released his debut EP, “Solace and the Wave,” a six-track project that combines contemporary classical music with cinematic orchestration.
Raised in London, Daly studied music at Westminster School, where he was a music scholar. He achieved Grade 8 cello at age 12, composed a symphonic movement performed in Austria and Germany by age 15, and had a choral composition performed at Westminster Abbey at 17. He later studied mechanical engineering at Imperial College London, graduating in 2022 while continuing to develop his music.
The EP draws on piano, strings, woodwind and layered orchestral arrangements, with influences from composers Alexandre Desplat, Howard Shore, Thomas Newman and Ludwig Göransson. Across the six tracks, the music moves between intimate piano passages and larger orchestral compositions.
Opening track “Hyperborean Suite” takes its name from Hyperborea, a mythical northern land described in ancient Greek tradition as lying beyond the north wind. Daly wrote the piece while imagining an icy, expansive and slightly magical landscape. Its musical progression moves from uncertainty towards a brighter resolution, reflecting the theme of hope.
Other tracks explore different moods and subjects. “Shapes, Pt. 1” draws on darker, nostalgic tones, while “Hymn to Orion” references mythology and the night sky. “Mensura Silentii,” written for solo piano, takes a more restrained approach. The EP also features flautist Alexandros Arkadopoulos and violinist Dionisis Vervitsiotis.
Daly’s approach to composition centres on storytelling and experimentation with instruments, orchestration and studio production. He continues to perform on cello, piano and guitar, which he describes as important to his creative process. He is now working towards a career composing for film and television, with the aim of gaining experience in professional scoring through assistant-composer roles.
“Solace and the Wave” is available on streaming platforms.
French-Ghanaian trio EYAA has released “Luku Luku,” an Afro-electro track about the habit of scrolling through news and viral content without stopping to consider what lies behind it.
Sung in Twi, Pidgin and English, the song uses the repeated hook “Stukuluku luku luku” to mimic the motion of scrolling on a phone. Its lyrics contrast a street scene consumed as viral content with the political history and colonial exploitation that can be overlooked when events are reduced to social media clips.
The track combines highlife rhythms and Afrobeat influences with electronic production built around 808s, live drums, bass and synthesizers. The trio’s lineup consists of vocalist Kyekyeku, drummer Fred Faure and Kevin Bucquet, who handles bass, synthesizers and electronic instruments.
“Luku Luku” is the first in a planned series of five singles leading up to EYAA’s debut EP. The group released the track on October 2, 2026, the same night it shared a bill with BCUC at Atabal in Biarritz, France.
The song is available on streaming platforms.
Detroit-based electronic artist, writer and producer jcSubterfuge has released “Awake…,” a jungle track built around breakbeats, deep sub-bass and atmospheric electronic textures.
The production uses chopped Amen break samples, minimalist synths and heavy bass frequencies, shifting between slower atmospheric passages and faster percussion. The arrangement draws on jungle and breakbeat traditions while incorporating contemporary electronic production.
jcSubterfuge’s wider sound combines electronic production with live instrumentation and everyday sounds recorded from the surrounding environment, which the artist describes as the “natural metronome.” The project also explores music as a way of connecting people across different backgrounds and experiences.
“Awake” is available on streaming platforms.
R4IZES has released “You Broke Me,” an Afro House track about heartbreak, combining electronic production with live percussion and vocals.
The track features ceremonial chants, congas, djembes, agogo and electric violin over a club-oriented groove. A bridge featuring female vocals in Portuguese adds another vocal element to the arrangement.
R4IZES developed a passion for writing during adolescence and later turned to songwriting as a way to share ideas, thoughts and emotions. The artist also draws inspiration from Lusophone music, exploring its different styles as a way of celebrating Portuguese-speaking musical traditions.
