GLADIUS, the multi-platinum producer and composer behind 2024’s cinematic Planet Horizon project – and the hit song “Miroh” by K-pop giants Stray Kids – just dropped a serious curveball. Known for his orchestral-meets-electronic sound with credits spanning Daft Punk, Iggy Azalea, Avicii, and Rita Ora, he’s now entered new territory with UNBREAKABLE, premiered by Don…
Kirsten Agresta Copely has released her new single “Kuruvinda,” and it is unlike anything else in her catalog. While her previous work leaned toward serene beauty, this track embraces contrast. The title, taken from the Sanskrit word for an imperfect ruby, is fitting. This piece doesn’t shine with flawless sparkle. It moves with intent, weight,…
Jeremy Engel’s new single “Ocean” leans into the quiet panic of feeling stuck in your own mind. Led by acoustic guitar and a steady emotional vocal, the track sits somewhere between modern folk and a softer kind of cinematic music. There are no distractions. No excessive layering. Just the sound of someone trying to get…
From the experimental corners of Cambridge, LateNightBeatFeast returns with Transmission Seven, a full-length album built around friction, contrast, and influence. A follow-up to their 2024 project Variance, this new release continues the producer’s trajectory of genre-bending compositions, leaning deeper into science fiction influences and analog textures. Rather than presenting a fixed style or clear genre,…
The Kiss is the fourth album by Izabela Kałduńska, known as The New Solarism. Written during the first lockdown of 2020 and recorded later in Leipzig, the music was originally composed for a remote theatre piece by Berlin author Tomas Blum. Although the production was never finished, the music survived as a standalone work –…
Satiety by CAVN opens with slow, rising strings that immediately set the tone for something intimate but not gentle. There’s a strong cinematic edge from the first bar – nothing decorative, just a focused escalation that keeps shifting rather than settling. As the track expands, it doesn’t lean on melody as a hook. Instead, the…
With Waltz for Baran, Vancouver-based composer Farbod Biglari presents a piece shaped by memory and time. Co-created with arranger Maria Duque, this single draws from cinematic influence and sentimental roots, landing somewhere between emotional reflection and classical tribute. The idea behind the composition began when Biglari was just a teenager, sketching out the melody on…
Blunt Blade’s Forgiveness feels like a direct shot from the gut. It’s a seven-track album that leans confidently into rock but isn’t afraid to mess with the edges. There’s a cinematic streak running through it, and several tracks bring in subtle synth elements that keep things from getting too predictable. It sounds like someone who’s…
Composer and producer Pablo Langaine has released Nostalgia, a five-track EP that shows just how hard he is to categorize. Known for his work on projects like Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark and Red Dead Redemption 2, as well as TV shows including The Montaners and The Cleaning Lady, Langaine brings the same…
Michael Giacchino’s latest release, Exotic Themes for the Silver Screen Vol. 2, is anything but a standard compilation. The Oscar-winning composer revisits some of his most well-known work – from Up and Inside Out to The Batman and Rogue One – and runs it through a playful, unexpected filter: Exotica. Released by Mutant, the album…
