Plain Mister Smith Unleashes Loudest Single Yet: ‘Andy Warhol’ Out Now

December 2nd saw the release of ‘Andy Warhol’, the latest single from Plain Mister Smith on Amelia Recordings/Symphonic and the third taste of an album slated for spring 2026. Anyone who followed Canadian darkwave in the late ’80s and ’90s already knows him as the guitarist from Moev, one of the country’s crucial electronic acts. These days he holds down a chair as cellist in the Vancouver Philharmonic Orchestra, but the solo work under his Plain Mister Smith name is where the real shape-shifting happens. NPR Music, CLASH, Wonderland, Under The Radar, Earmilk, NOTION, METAL, and a growing list of others have all backed the project hard, drawn to the way he flips between introspective folk and full-on psych-rock without ever sounding forced.

The new track is pure electric charge. Leeroy Stagger delivers the lead vocal with a rasp that makes every line feel like a barstool confession, while Krystle Dos Santos answers back with soul-drenched harmonies that float above the fray. Hooky guitar riffs slice through a rhythm section that locks in and pushes forward, nodding at the open-road shimmer of War on Drugs and the loose genius of Pavement while staying unmistakably his own. The lyrics dissect that gap between projected cool and inner wreckage, classic Plain Mister Smith territory, only this time wrapped in amps turned to eight.

Plain Mister Smith revealed: “I met Andy Warhol many years ago at the New Music Seminar in New York. He was pretty chill and serene or seemed that way. He was quoted to have said “So What this, So What that”? which is about the most Zen thing you could ever say. ‘Andy Warhol’ the song, is about trying to be super Soto Zen, trying to be cool and so nothing phases you but really, you’re just a chaotic mess of a human, no matter what you do…….”

Watch Jairic Go Full Duality in ‘Young, Old, Short & Tall’ Video

Out now via Rich Air Music, Jairic‘s ‘Young, Old, Short & Tall‘ lands as the hard-hitting closer before his n = 40 EP hits December 5. The Detroit-raised, Cannes-based artist stays fully self-reliant—writing, rapping, and producing everything himself—which has stacked almost 2 million streams and earned props from Wonderland Magazine, NOTION, CLASH Magazine, EARMILK, and airplay on NPR Music. His palette mixes Nas-level wordplay and Wu-Tang density with Detroit rawness, funk grooves, ’60s rock punch, and moody film-score vibes, making him a natural pull for anyone locked into 21 Savage, Young Thug, Playboi Carti, or A$AP Mob territory.

Sonically, it grabs you quick with an earworm refrain, then Jairic’s precise, high-energy bars ride a beat that opens sharp and energetic before the distortion creeps in heavier, adding that chaotic swell under the finesse.

Watch ‘Young, Old, Short & Tall’:

The Bastien Leblanc-directed video steals the show though—Jairic owns a massive, extravagant mansion, dancing fluidly and firing off witty bars in opulent rooms that drip wealth. That polished excess slams against the track’s gritty core, visually mapping his journey from underground Detroit to European high society; the contrast feels intentional and loaded, every shot reinforcing the tension between street roots and current elevation in a way that elevates the whole release.

Jairic shared: “There are so many beautiful people in the world—and then there’s a ton of hate and doubt. Be strong. Keep forging and let the fire burn inside. There are a thousand reasons to stop—forget them.“

µ-Ziq Reworks Textbook Maneuver’s ‘Adrenaline Slip’ into IDM-Shoegaze Hybrid Out Now

µ-Ziq‘s remix of Textbook Maneuver‘s ‘Adrenaline Slip‘ landed this past weekend, November 7, 2025, on Life Science Records. Under his real name, Mike Paradinas, the UK IDM pioneer founded Planet Mu and surfaced in 1993 with a string of aliases including Jake Slazenger, Kid Spatula, and Tusken Raiders. He’s garnered steady support from Pitchfork, The Guardian, DJ Mag, and Pop Matters, highlighted by his 1997 album Lunatic Harness, which cleared 100,000 worldwide sales as a drill ‘n’ bass touchstone. His 1999 project, Royal Astronomy, honed that orchestral-electronic approach, earning placements on NME‘s year-end compilations. Planet Mu continues to drive breakcore, footwork, and dubstep, offering breakout spots to figures like Venetian Snares and Jlin in electronic music’s wider network.

The remix draws deeply from the heart of the original, transforming its intricate rhythms, pulsating synth lines, and glitchy textures into a track that shifts from relaxed chillout sequences to an exhilarating IDM climax. µ-Ziq masterfully weaves in captivating tambourine accents and expertly chopped breakbeats layered over expansive drones, paying homage to the lush textures of ’90s shoegaze while boldly preserving the genre’s vital rhythmic core.

µ-Ziq had this to say: “The starting point for my remix of Adrenaline Slip was the one of the stems, an Alchemy patch which sounds like a distorted electric guitar. I processed and cut it up, adding a breakbeat and tried to make it all a bit dreamy and smeared inspired by 90s shoegaze bands like MBV and early Swervedriver.”

Seth Tabatznik Drops Intimate Indie Folk Single ‘Shining for Love’

London-raised indie folk talent Seth Tabatznik kicked off a fresh chapter with the release of his new single, ‘Shining for Love’, out now via Moth Music. Just a year into releasing music since 2024, Tabatznik has already pulled in more than 100,000 streams worldwide, thanks in part to buzz around his last release, ‘Choose To Be Alive’, which caught ears at major publications like CLASH Magazine. On the stage front, he’s no slouch either—his first-ever gig at Boschendal Estate in Cape Town, South Africa, sold out fast. He followed that with another packed venue at Green Note in London’s Camden area. With a second full-length album slated for 2026, Tabatznik is staking a solid claim in the indie folk scene.

‘Shining for Love’ unfolds as a gentle acoustic piece, layering guitars and subtle string swells over light beats to frame Tabatznik‘s clear, devoted vocals. The track leans into subtle ways of seeing expressions of love in nature, keeping things lofty and afloat yet pulling you right in with its steady emotional pull, like the sway of leaves in a cool summer breeze.

Seth Tabatznik had this to say: “This song came to me in a forest, spoken by the elements around me. It was like nature took my pen and transcribed the lyrics into my notebook, accompanied by a simple 4 chord progression. I love how the song builds and accelerates as a celebration for life, love and nature. This song is all about nature and how her every action comes from a place of love. Every sound, every movement, is her way of expressing herself, as she is one being, of which we are a part, not apart.“
