The freestyle structure of ‘Contaminated’ by musician Static Cosmonaut is what hooked me, and its mysterious quality made me stay and want to hear more. The execution of the electronica here is so effective, contributing to such an entrancing atmosphere.

Satellites – Ellur
Emotion is already evoked within us in the opening of ‘Satellites’ by Yorkshire indie songwriter Ellur. Lyrically it is immensely powerful, my favourite lyric being ‘And if time was on our side, I’d build a home inside your eyes.’ In the melody, however, what is most potent is the collide of the pre-chorus and the chorus. We hear Ellur’s vocals both deepen soulfully and heighten divinely.

The Royal Park – Tom Fleur
