UK Techno Star ADRIANNA Unleashes ‘ADRIANNARCHY

Photographer: Tom Juskevicius/ Designer: Serena Coelho

ADRIANNA‘s first album, ADRIANNARCHY, was released on 23 October through TMPL Music after a seven-week remix campaign which included reworks by Wehbba, T78, Alex Stein, Christian Smith, Drunken Kong and The Obsessed. The UK techno artist, who is known for her careful production and energetic DJ sets, has established a solid position in the European club and festival scene. Her standing has been strengthened by endorsements from Charlotte de Witte, Adam Beyer, Joseph Capriati and Nicole Moudaber. The album has received media attention with a cover appearance in Vicious Magazine and articles in DJ Mag Netherlands, DJane Mag, Mixmag Brazil and Mixmag Germany. She has recently performed at E1 London, Eden Ibiza, Creamfields’ Steelyard and at Forbidden Forest’s Arcadia Spider, where she has shared the stage with Pan-Pot, UMEK and Alan Fitzpatrick.

‘Power Back’ begins with strong techno kicks and then builds in intensity as atmospheric layers, reverberating vocal fragments, and assertive piano chords are added. When the breakdown occurs, the percussion fades away, bringing forward ADRIANNA‘s vocal performance, after which the song rushes into a progressive techno drop driven by raw acid house basslines which echo the initial progression. The track fits in perfectly with the type of sound associated with Charlotte de Witte, Anyma, and T78. The album’s sound is based on strong techno kicks and a heavy low end, combined with detailed synth work, orchestral enhancements, and piano themes which alternate between tension and relaxation. Throughout its duration, the record expresses a clear rejection of convention in order to embrace personal autonomy.

Adrianna wrote: “ADRIANNARCHY is all about reclaiming your power, breaking free from societal expectations and living your life on your own terms. The theme involves transformation, independence and the courage to question beliefs, with empowerment arising as a result of healing. By embracing your own path, overcoming obstacles and remembering that you don’t have to be perfect in order to deserve to be seen, heard and respected.”

I’MMORTAL Unveils Haunting ‘SWAMP MONSTER’ Music Video

I’MMORTAL has released the video for ‘SWAMP MONSTER’ through her Immortality label, scheduling the launch to coincide with Halloween. Living in both New York and London, she has established a unique position at the point where electronic music, alt-pop, and shadowy visual styles meet since launching her 2023 album ‘Versace Spaceship’. Her discography has now exceeded half a million Spotify plays and has attracted the attention of publications such as Rolling Stone UK and Electronic Groove. Remixes of ‘KILLED U IN A DREAM’ have been produced by biskuwi and Droid Bishop, and Das Mörtal has taken ‘Uncanny Valley’ and turned it into a darksynth version which received support from NPR Music. Having been brought up in California, I’MMORTAL has a background in orchestral violin and musical theatre, incorporating the discipline of classical music into her detailed and bass-heavy electronic productions. The synesthesia she possesses gives her a consistent visual and audio identity, with repeated themes concerning mortality, transformation, the organic and the synthetic, femininity, and AAPI identity. Among her influences are Sevdaliza, SOPHIE, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Lana Del Rey, and Björk.

‘SWAMP MONSTER’ is an energetic and experimental piece, featuring a thick electronic bassline and a rhythm section that clashes with sharp synth melodies and various layered textures. The whispered vocals by I’MMORTAL give the song a spectral quality, enhancing its dark and eerie atmosphere and highlighting the fact that it is being released for Halloween. I’MMORTAL is in charge of the production, while Mikaelin Bluespruce handles both mixing and mastering; she has previously worked with Solange, Mariah Carey, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and Blood Orange. The song will appeal to those who enjoy the avant-pop style of SOPHIE, Arca, and umru. In the video, which marks I’MMORTAL’s first time directing it, a vivid pink humanoid anglerfish is seen pole dancing in a marshland illuminated by fluorescent lights. I’MMORTAL created the lampshade hat, edited the footage, and was responsible for staging the transformation of the lamp figure into an anglerfish.

I’MMORTAL had this to say: “‘SWAMP MONSTER’ is the first music video I’ve solo-directed, and making it taught me so much about my own creative process. From crafting the working lampshade hat to editing the video myself, I’m incredibly grateful for the chance to fully immerse myself in the hands-on creation of this video. I thought it would be beautifully bonkers to have a humanoid lamp reveal itself as an anglerfish, a whimsical metaphor for embracing your true self. I envisioned the atmosphere feeling like a liminal, fever-dream version of Alice in Wonderland, and I think the team nailed it!”

‘Be The One You Are’ by Moon Rocket Delivers Melodic Power & Club Energy

Italian producer, DJ and multi-instrumentalist Raffaele Scoccia, known to fans as Moon Rocket, made his vibrant return with ‘Be The One You Are’, on 15 October 2026 via Moon Rocket Music. This new single adds another chapter to a catalogue that has touched iconic labels like Defected, Nervous, Sony Italy, BBE, Hed Kandi and Soulfuric. Scoccia’s previous hit, ‘Reciprocity’, soared past 21 million streams and 250,000 Shazams, earning the title of Traxsource’s Best Afro House Track of 2020. His music has become a staple on BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra, with tastemakers like Pete Tong, Seth Troxler, Monki, Rickie, Melvin & Charlie and Craig Charles all spinning his tracks. Black Coffee and Seth Troxler have thrown their support behind his productions, while outlets such as Billboard, Traxsource, CLASH Magazine and Cultr have spotlighted his work. His sound has resonated on MadorasindaHouse, and his electrifying live sets have lit up venues from Output Brooklyn to Miami Music Week, ADE and Nikki Beach. Scoccia’s journey began at 15, when a piano from his parents sparked a passion for classical music, harmony and composition. Today, as a classically trained pianist and Hammond organ player, he shapes an Afro Melodic-Tech sound that weaves melodic complexity, rich instrumentation and irresistible club energy.

‘Be The One You Are’ pulses with a sleek Afro house groove, driven by a hypnotic midrange piano riff that locks in with the kick and off-beat percussion. Shakers and a warm, rounded bassline deepen the rhythm, while the piano shines as the melodic heart of the track. The vocals cut through as luminous, memorable hooks, channeling the R&B-inspired vibe of recent Adam Port and Stryv releases rather than the densely layered vocals of classic Afro house. Percussion evolves with understated finesse, sidestepping a traditional breakdown and keeping the energy high with a club-ready momentum that echoes HUGEL’s signature style.

Moon Rocket shared: “This track is about coming back to yourself. About letting go of the noise, the expectations, and the need to fit into someone else’s idea of who you should be. I wanted the music to carry that feeling of freedom — something melodic and uplifting, but with a deeper message underneath: when you stop pretending and start standing in your own name, you find your own rhythm.”

Fox De La Rose Drops Award-Winning Album ‘Nothing Is Written In Stone’

On September 18, Fox De La Rose released the nine-song album Nothing Is Written In Stone, an entirely self-produced work whose conception and execution were guided by a single songwriter who was responsible for every note and nuance. The album combines threads of contemporary pop and rock, features a Britpop style, includes earthy instrumentation, and has soul-searching lyrics. The songs have already attracted international attention: ‘Not Afraid of the Light’ won the award for Best AI Pop at the World AI Music Festival and also received recognition in the categories of Best Human-AI Collaboration and Best AI Music Storytelling; ‘You’re Not Alone Tonight’ won Best Music Video at the Cannes Film Awards; and ‘The Eagle Still Flies’ was given an Honorable Mention at the Europe Music Video Awards. These awards highlight the album’s commitment to creating a distinct musical, narrative, and visual world for each track.

‘Mystery’ starts the album by exploring the hidden thoughts behind life’s most important moments. ‘Not Afraid of the Light’ reveals the feelings involved in accepting change, and ‘From The Heart’ focuses on times of personal struggle. ‘I Don’t Chase Anymore’ marks a change by letting go of restless chasing in favor of freedom and fresh starts. The title track is the heart of the album’s message, asking if one decision can really shape a person’s life. ‘You’re Not Alone Tonight’ offers comfort during loneliness; ‘November Ashes’ uses memory as a rich source for new beginnings; ‘Next Page’ looks ahead without forgetting the past; and ‘The Eagle Still Flies’ closes the album with a feeling of strength.

The album’s stylistic breadth is purposeful, each track sculpting its own sonic landscape to serve the narrative at hand. Rather than adhering to rigid genre lines, the record finds cohesion through its songwriting and overarching vision. While contemporary production and visual tools have broadened what independent artists can realize, Nothing Is Written In Stone remains rooted in authentic creative expression. Fox De La Rose emerges as an artist defined by adaptability, allowing each song to carve its own path and leaving the album open-ended, inviting possibility.
