Mara Vale
Verified Artist
Mara Vale
Mara Vale makes sleek night-drive pop with a disco pulse: live bass lines, clean rhythm guitar, warm strings, and hooks that feel lit by streetlights. Her songs balance playful movement with a bittersweet city glow, built for listeners who want groove, melody, and a little electricity under the skin.
Her sound sits between classic dance-floor craft and modern pop polish, with soulful female vocals carrying stories of late buses, rooftop coffee, open city windows, and small moments that suddenly feel cinematic. Mara Vale keeps the arrangements bright and human: tight drums, handclaps, piano stabs, and choruses designed to move without turning into a cliché.
Window Light After Eight
Mara Vale
The shutters lean half-open
On a street rinsed clean by rain
A receipt curls in my pocket
Like it wants to speak your name
Glass shelves hold the evening
Silver bracelets folded blue
Someone laughs by the mirrors
Then the echo thins to two
I keep the counter glowing
Soft enough to let you stay
Every little hour slows down
When the day unpins its gray
Window light after eight
Moves across the polished floor
Nothing loud nothing late
Just the bell above the door
If you come in from the weather
With your collar turned against the air
I'll be humming with the register
Like I knew you'd find me there
Elevator doors are breathing
In the mall across the square
Mannequins wear patient faces
Under amber fitting-room glare
There is music in the hangers
When they slide along the rail
Tiny moons in every button
Tiny ships in every sale
I keep the counter glowing
Soft enough to let you stay
Every little hour slows down
When the day unpins its gray
Window light after eight
Moves across the polished floor
Nothing loud nothing late
Just the bell above the door
If you come in from the weather
With your collar turned against the air
I'll be humming with the register
Like I knew you'd find me there
We don't have to call it waiting
We can call it closing slow
Let the streetlights choose the colors
Let the last few customers go
Window light after eight
A quiet gold along the door
Nothing loud nothing late
Just a rhythm asking for more
If you come in from the weather
With your collar turned against the air
I'll be humming with the register
Like I knew you'd find me there

My Kitchen Stage
Soleil Vega
Verified Artist
Soleil Vega
Soleil Vega is the kind of artist who can turn a rainy Tuesday into a rooftop party. Born and raised in Brighton, UK, she grew up surrounded by her mother’s old soul records and the pulse of the underground dance scene. Her music lives at the intersection of deep house grooves, pop sparkle, and feel-good R&B touches, driven by radiant vocals and unapologetically joyful lyrics.
Her breakout track “My Kitchen Stage” is a celebration of everyday magic—the kind you find dancing alone at home with a spatula mic in hand. The track blends warm house rhythms with bouncy basslines and a shimmering vocal delivery that makes you want to throw open the windows and turn the volume all the way up. It’s infectious, playful, and deeply personal.
Soleil’s sound is sun-kissed but grounded. She writes about friendship, late-night cravings, heartbreak, and finding your light—in the club, in the kitchen, or in your own reflection. And when she performs, it’s not a show, it’s a shared moment. Always real, always radiant.
My Kitchen Stage
Soleil Vega
Your walls are gonna cry
They know it better than I do
I'm still scared to die
When I'm dancing without you
Maybe it's all in my head
Maybe I'll get out of bed
If you call
And I'll go dancing through my kitchen like it's a stage
And if you call
I'll go dancing through my kitchen like it's a stage
And if you call
I'll go dancing through my kitchen like it's a stage
And if you call
I'll go dancing through my kitchen like it's a stage
And if you call
I'll go dancing through my kitchen like it's a stage
And I know it's only temporary
But it's not in the way
It's not in the way that you want it
So we won't talk about it
We don't talk about it
And I know it's only temporary
But it's not in the way
It's not in the way that you want it
So we won't talk about it
We don't talk about it
Maybe it's all in my head
Maybe I'll get out of bed
If you call
And I'll go dancing through my kitchen like it's a stage
And if you call
I'll go dancing through my kitchen like it's a stage
And if you call
I'll go dancing through my kitchen like it's a stage
And if you call
I'll go dancing through my kitchen like it's a stage
And if you call
I'll go dancing through my kitchen like it's a stage

Hamartia
Verified Artist
Hamartia
Hamartia, born Juliet Steiner, grew up in a strict Catholic family in Dublin, where expectations were high, and tradition ran deep. From an early age, Juliet knew she was different, but her family’s reaction to her sexual orientation was anything but supportive.
Feeling isolated and misunderstood, she sought solace in Greek mythology, where she discovered the concept of hamartia—a tragic flaw that often leads to downfall in ancient stories. Embracing the name Hamartia became her way of owning her identity and turning pain into strength, using it as a symbol of defiance against the societal norms that tried to suppress her.
Her move to Dublin’s vibrant underground music scene gave her the freedom to truly explore her voice. Hamartia quickly stood out for her unique vocal techniques, blending haunting tones with an emotive, almost ethereal quality that captivates listeners.
Her style, a mesmerizing fusion of Amplified Heart and pop dance, reflects both her inner turmoil and resilience. Each performance feels like a cathartic release, with her vocals carrying the weight of her past while moving toward something liberating and triumphant.
Hamartia's music doesn’t shy away from the complexities of love, loss, and self-discovery. Tracks like "I Don' Know" and "Eyes Wide Open" speak to the tension between vulnerability and empowerment, a delicate balance she has mastered through her songwriting.
Now a rising figure in Dublin’s pop dance scene, her unapologetic artistry resonates with fans who find strength in her journey. And as she continues to perform in venues across the city, Hamartia’s star keeps rising, proving that sometimes our flaws, real or perceived, are what make us truly extraordinary.

Gravity Override
Lina Mour
Verified Artist
Lina Mour
Lina Mour is a French-born vocalist and songwriter blending high-octane Eurodance energy with the emotional weight of soulful pop. Growing up in the suburbs of Lyon, Lina was raised on a steady mix of gospel vocals, ‘90s dance anthems, and gritty French rap. This eclectic influence shaped her bold sonic identity — where throbbing 4/4 beats meet orchestral stabs, and where raw emotion finds its home on the dancefloor.
Her latest single, “Gravity Override,” is a high-energy anthem that collides hip house rap verses with a soaring, mantra-like chorus. It’s a throwback to the golden age of Eurodance, but with modern production and an unapologetic attitude. With pounding kicks, aggressive synths, and trance-tinged melodic layers, the track is built for sweaty club nights, neon-lit workouts, and every moment when reality feels too heavy to carry.
Lina describes the track as “not just about defying gravity — but defying expectation.” Behind the infectious hook lies a personal story of reclaiming freedom, breaking out of everyday repetition, and choosing joy over inertia. In her words: “It’s about walking down the street with a storm in your chest but a beat in your step.”
Beyond music, Lina is quickly becoming a visual icon in her own right. Her streetwear aesthetic, nostalgic references, and empowering live shows are drawing comparisons to the likes of Technotronic and Crystal Waters — yet Lina’s vision is firmly rooted in the present. She isn’t here to recreate the past. She’s here to override it.
Gravity Override
Lina Mour
Blast the gate override the stream
No peace mode just kerosene
We don’t stop — we ventilate
Plug into the surge detonate!
Code in flames!
Rise untamed!
Spin that truth
Like a hurricane!
Gravity override!
We don’t fall — we multiply
No more silence no more shade
We break the sound — unafraid!
Gravity override!
Sky is fake so we collide
Raise your pulse amplify—
We’re the glitch they can’t deny!
Rip that signal break the chain
Upload thunder through your brain
We’re the myth the freak the spark
We turn neon into dark
No maps!
No brakes!
No kings!
No fakes!
We twist!
We crack!
We vanish—
Then attack!
Gravity override!
Truth distorted we decide
Bounce that static crash the grid—
This is not your mother’s beat!
Gravity override!
Laws erased we redesign
Now scream loud redefine—
We’re the beat they can’t confine!
Override complete
System: liberated

Left Me Dancing
Velvet Tax
You left me crying
But I came back dancing
Mm
I came back dancing
You took the keys
But not the door
You took your coat
But not the storm
I kept the dress
You never liked
Put on my heels
And killed the lights
You thought I’d call
You thought I’d break
You thought my heart
Would learn your name
But I found myself
At half past two
In a crowded room
Not missing you
I let the mirror see me
With my makeup running
Then I wiped it clean
Like I saw you coming
You were the lesson
I was the flame
You left the woman
But she changed her name
You left me lonely
Left me hurting
Left me standing in the rain
Now I’m moving
Now I’m burning
Now I’m dancing through the pain
You don’t get to hold me
When I’m finally free
You don’t get the old me
She don’t answer for me
You left me crying
But I came back dancing
You left me dying
But I came back dancing
Da-da-da-dancing
I came back dancing
Da-da-da-dancing
I came back dancing
I saw your friends
They looked surprised
Like I should hide
Like I should cry
I smiled so sweet
They looked away
I guess revenge
Can wear a face
No angry texts
No midnight scene
No begging you
To come to me
I changed the song
I changed the room
I changed the girl
Who waited for you
I let the mirror see me
With my heart wide open
Then I sewed it up
With a little gold thread
You were the reason
I hit the ground
But I’m the reason
I’m rising now
You left me lonely
Left me hurting
Left me standing in the rain
Now I’m moving
Now I’m burning
Now I’m dancing through the pain
You don’t get to hold me
When I’m finally free
You don’t get the old me
She don’t answer for me
You left me crying
But I came back dancing
You left me dying
But I came back dancing
Da-da-da-dancing
I came back dancing
Da-da-da-dancing
I came back dancing
I was a house with the windows open
You were the match in a careless hand
I was the girl who kept forgiving
Now I’m the woman you can’t command
I don’t hate you
That’s too easy
I don’t need you
That’s the twist
I don’t want you
To come save me
I just want you
To see this
You left me lonely
Left me hurting
Left me standing in the rain
Now I’m moving
Now I’m burning
Now I’m dancing through the pain
You don’t get to hold me
When I’m finally free
You don’t get the old me
She don’t answer for me
You left me crying
But I came back dancing
You left me dying
But I came back dancing
You left me lonely
But I came back shining
You left me broken
But I came back diamond
You left me crying
But I came back dancing
Da-da-da-dancing
I came back dancing

With the music I can finally breathe
This is my time got so much to achieve
And when the night falls I won’t be alone
With the stars shining I've found my home

Dancing through the streets watch the good times fly
Letting go of what held me back
Now I'm on my way never looking back

The Man Who Sold th...
Wrong Floor Cinema
Verified Artist
Wrong Floor Cinema
Wrong Floor Cinema is a four-piece alternative rock band formed in 2025 by Orson Vell, Marlow Pin, Crispin Dayrate, and Niles Weatherby. The group came together through a series of badly organized rehearsal-room bookings, after repeatedly being assigned the same basement studio by mistake. They kept the name Wrong Floor Cinema because it matched their shared taste for overlooked places, awkward situations, and things that feel slightly out of sequence.
Their music blends sharp pop-punk guitars, dry spoken-sung vocals, clipped rhythms, melodic bass lines, and an offbeat sense of humor. Although their sound draws heavily from 1990s alternative rock, they avoid straightforward nostalgia, mixing that influence with modern production, restrained arrangements, and lyrics built around mundane frustrations, social discomfort, bad timing, and small personal disasters.
Orson handles vocals and rhythm guitar, Marlow plays lead guitar, Crispin plays bass, and Niles is on drums. Together, they have built a reputation for tightly controlled live performances that still feel unpredictable, balancing catchy melodies with deadpan delivery and a slightly detached stage presence. Wrong Floor Cinema sounds like a band that arrived late, entered through the wrong door, and decided to stay anyway.
The Man Who Sold the Rain
Wrong Floor Cinema
He wore a beige suit
In the middle of June
Said he had answers
Coming very soon
He had a suitcase
Full of folded air
He sold umbrellas
When the sky was fair
Step right up
Don’t ask why
Every little cloud
Has a price to buy
He was the man who sold the rain
Sold it once
Then sold it again
He was the man who sold the rain
Everybody got wet
But nobody complained
He shook the mayor’s hand
With a plastic smile
Promised good weather
In a single-file
He made a chart
With a rising line
Said bad predictions
Were a warning sign
Step right up
Don’t ask why
Every little cloud
Has a price to buy
He was the man who sold the rain
Sold it once
Then sold it again
He was the man who sold the rain
Everybody got wet
But nobody complained
By the time they checked the contract
The ink had gone away
He left a little business card
That simply said: “Someday”
He was the man who sold the rain
Sold it once
Then sold it again
He was the man who sold the rain
Now they buy the thunder
And lease the hurricane

Halfway Honest
Rowan Grey
I told you enough to calm your doubt
Left every harder detail out
Called it mercy called it care
But truth with holes is still unfair
You read my face before my words
Knew every answer had been curved
I kept the facts at arm's length
Then watched that distance take our strength
I cannot ask for trust again
Without admitting where I bent
I was halfway honest
That means halfway gone
I gave you selected pieces
Then asked you to hold on
I was halfway honest
You deserved the whole
No more careful versions
No more edited soul
I made excuses sound so clean
Kept my fault behind a screen
Said I wanted us to heal
While I hid what you could feel
You never asked for perfect proof
Only one complete hard truth
So here it is without defense
I broke our bond with half events
I cannot ask for trust again
Without admitting where I bent
I was halfway honest
That means halfway gone
I gave you selected pieces
Then asked you to hold on
I was halfway honest
You deserved the whole
No more careful versions
No more edited soul
If you leave I understand
If you stay I change my stand
Either way this much is true
I will not hide myself from you
I was halfway honest
That means halfway gone
I gave you selected pieces
Then asked you to hold on
I was halfway honest
You deserved the whole
Now you get the full truth
No more edited soul

Better By Half
The Corner Clerks
You took the long way home again
Counted every coin you spent
Said the city had no manners
But you kept your Sunday sense
There’s a man at the station
With a paper and a grin
Says the world keeps turning
But nobody clocks in
You had plans on a napkin
Now they’re folded in your coat
You keep laughing at the timing
Like it’s some private joke
There’s a queue at the bakery
There’s a dog outside the bank
There’s a song from a taxi
That you almost want to thank
You don’t need a big answer
You don’t need a grand escape
You just need one decent Tuesday
And a bit less on your plate
So you straighten your collar
Let the bad news pass
Put your hands in your pockets
And you make it last
Not winning not losing
Just doing the math
Some days get better
Better by half
Better by half
That’s good enough
A little less worry
A little more luck
Better by half
No golden plan
Just one more joke
And a steady hand
You don’t need glory
You don’t need proof
Just somebody laughing
At the back of the room
Better by half
That’s good enough
A little less worry
A little more luck
Your cousin had a theory
About getting out clean
Then he bought a small van
And a coffee machine
Now he parks by the market
With his radio low
Says the secret is simple
Never let Monday know
You remember old trouble
With a smile on its face
How it sat beside your future
And took up all the space
But you made a little progress
On a very plain day
Paid one bill sent one message
Threw one bad thought away
So you straighten your collar
Let the bad news pass
Put your hands in your pockets
And you make it last
Not winning not losing
Just doing the math
Some days get better
Better by half
Better by half
That’s good enough
A little less worry
A little more luck
Better by half
No golden plan
Just one more joke
And a steady hand
You don’t need glory
You don’t need proof
Just somebody laughing
At the back of the room
Better by half
That’s good enough
A little less worry
A little more luck
No parade no headline
No speech to rehearse
Just a small kind of fortune
When it could have been worse
You can carry your worries
But loosen the strap
Life may not fix you
But it cuts you some slack
Better by half
That’s good enough
A little less worry
A little more luck
Better by half
No golden plan
Just one more joke
And a steady hand
You don’t need glory
You don’t need proof
Just somebody laughing
At the back of the room
Better by half
That’s good enough
A little less worry
A little more luck
You took the long way home again
Counted every coin you spent

But you kept your Sunday sense

Mile By Mile
Donna Cool
Verified Artist
Donna Cool
Donna Cool is a country-pop singer and songwriter whose music pairs warm acoustic textures with polished live-band energy and an easy, confident vocal presence. Her songs focus on movement, connection and the small details that turn ordinary days into lasting memories. On “Mile By Mile,” she transforms a slow drive, paper-cup coffee and an open sky into a bright celebration of companionship and forward motion. The track’s relaxed groove and singalong refrain reflect her instinct for melodies that feel immediate without losing their heart. Donna approaches each song as a shared journey, balancing crisp pop craft with the grounded storytelling of country music. Her inviting sound is built for windows-down listening, long roads and the quiet optimism of choosing to keep moving.
Mile By Mile
Donna Cool
Tank half full windows down
Dust in the back road leaving town
Big sky pulling on my sleeve
Got a map got a song got you with me
Mile by mile we shake it loose
Yellow line running under our shoes
Heart to heart let the world go by
We’re making a home out of open sky
Happy road happy road
Keep on rolling let it go
Happy road happy road
We were born to drive it slow
(oh-oh) Happy road
(oh-oh) Happy road
Gas station coffee paper cups
Laughing so hard that we can’t stop
Sticky hands on the steering wheel
Every little turn feels real feels real
Mile by mile we shake it loose
Yellow line running under our shoes
Heart to heart let the world go by
We’re making a home out of open sky
Happy road happy road
Keep on rolling let it go
Happy road happy road
We were born to drive it slow
(oh-oh) Happy road
(oh-oh) Happy road
If the rain comes down we’ll dance through it
If the map folds up we’ll laugh and miss
Nothing behind us nothing to prove
Just this road and me and you
Happy road happy road
Keep on rolling let it go
Happy road happy road
We were born to drive it slow
Happy road happy road
Every mile is ours to hold
(oh-oh) Happy road
(oh-oh) Happy road
