HYPERSPACE: Best Discoveries of the Week – Episode 171
Hey Space Travellers,
Are we ready for another incredible episode of Hyperspace?
Episode 171 landed, fasten your seatbelts and get ready to depart!
4fro Nick – “Don’t Waste My Time (LA mix)”
The latest track of 4fro Nick’s, “Don’t Waste My Time (LA Mix)”, comes in quite hot in this new Hyperspace Episode: no filler, just pure intent. Born in Crete, shaped in New York, now locked into LA energy, Nick brings that “been through it, still moving forward” vibe straight into the track.
It’s an incredibly catchy mix of indie rock, soul, and psych edges, with some kind of retro in it. The guitars set the mood, along the lush electronic elements, the groove slam steady, and everything just moves. You’ve got Leo Genovese adding classy keys, Johnny Radelat smashing the drums with control, and George Athanas holding it down on bass like glue.
Nick’s vocals are kinda raw here, with a style that’s literally his own. He’s not trying to impress, he’s just saying it how it is: don’t waste my time, don’t waste your life, get on with it.
This track is really something different: it’s got that live-band energy, slightly messy in the best way, but still tight as hell. It’s confident without being arrogant, emotional without getting soft.
Bottom line: it’s a proper driving record. Put it on, turn it up, and it pushes you forward whether you’re ready or not!
William McLaughlin – “Summer Vibes”
Billy G. Mac comes here with “Summer Vibe”, and that’s exactly what its title promises: a laid-back, feel-good tune made for sunny afternoons, packed bars, and those random nights that end up being the best ones. Pulling together Latin grooves, West Coast hip-hop flavour, and smooth jazz touches, the London-based artist delivers one of his most accessible and easy-going releases to date.
Featuring Kidd Bask and Feez, the track has a real social energy to it. This song is like an invitation to link up with friends, grab a cold drink, and enjoy the moment. The production is colourful, blending different influences into something really fresh.
The coolest part is that under all the summer-party vibes, there’s a genuine message about connection. Even the artwork’s use of “Vox” instead of “Vibes” hints at communication and bringing people together. Nothing too deep, just a reminder that good music, good conversation, and good company still matter.
This single is fun, catchy, and definitely built for replay. Stick it on when the weather’s good and let it do its thing!
Some Spirit – “Make It Anyway”
We are flying to Los Angeles to meet Some Spirit, who brings us a project that blends darkwave, alternative rock, and atmospheric electronica into something haunting and strangely uplifting. We are talking about “Make It Anyway”, a track that slowly creep under your skin.
The song kicks off with a moody piano line that sets the tone straight away, just before gradually building into a huge, cinematic wall of sound. Layers of synths, crunchy drums, and guitar textures arrive one by one, creating a slow-burn payoff, making the track an incredibly listening experience. There’s a bit of old-school darkwave DNA in here, making it incredibly unique in its style.
What really sells the track is its vibe. It’s gloomy but not depressing, emotional, and full of life.. Diina’s vocals are raw and understated, letting the song’s message of resilience hit naturally.
If you’re into atmospheric alt-rock, dark synth-pop, or late-night headphone music, then this single is a proper gem. Moody, cinematic, and packed with feeling, it proves Some Spirit is building something seriously worth paying attention to.
PeligoS TriP – “ColourS”
Next up we have PeligoS TriP with “ColourS”, ready to bring us on a journey with its incredible atmosphere.
Built by a London-based artist, the project blends ambient guitar work, unique vocals, and a kind of emotional honesty that sits right at the centre of the whole project. Definitely not overproduced here.. it’s more about atmosphere, feeling, and the unfiltered sounds that make things natural.
The style of this project leans heavily into textured guitars shaped through pedals, creating these stunning soundscapes that sit underneath really strong melodic writing. The vocals add a soft and melodic contrast that keeps everything grounded and intimate.
Written and assembled across London, Brighton, and Vancouver, the album carries this sense of distance and emotional travel, like different phases of life stitched into one continuous flow. The themes are personal: relationships, inner tension, and real-life struggles, but they’re delivered in a universal way.
“ColourS” stands out because it leans into mood, memory, and texture, and lets the songs breathe. It’s the kind of album that rewards slow listening, where the details reveal themselves over time.
Honest, human, and quietly immersive record: you guys are going to love this one.
Lotta Svart – “Magi”
Reinvention in music can often feel forced, but Lotta Svart manages it with remarkable ease on “Magi”. The Finnish singer-songwriter and producer dives into a new creative chapter with a sound she calls melodic electropoetry, and honestly, the label really fits here.
This song features dreamy electronic textures, unique drums, and layered Swedish-language vocals. The production, crafted alongside Sam Sonntag, balances lush synths with organic warmth, creating a cinematic atmosphere that makes the track wide and alive.
The track has a very intimate sound thanks to Lotta’s vocal performance that never reaches for dramatic peaks; instead it pulls you closer with subtle emotion and quiet confidence. Even if you don’t understand Swedish, the delivery carries enough feeling to communicate everything that matters.
Rather than chasing hooks or mainstream drops, the song lets its mood slowly unfold, gently asking us to sink into it. Soft, immersive, and beautifully produced, “Magi” feels like the work of an artist who has finally found her sound.
AnnaBelle Swift – “Belong”
“Belong” is the latest single of AnnaBelle Swift, focusing on something very relatable: the quiet courage it takes to embrace a new version of yourself and trust that you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.
Inspired by her own journey from lawyer to singer-songwriter, the track brings that kind of authenticity that’s hard to fake. You can hear it in the lyrics, but also in the way the song opens up. Warm acoustic instruments, subtle Americana influences, and sweeping strings create a rich sound that allows the message to hit naturally. The production is incredibly clean, solid, striking a sweet balance between folk intimacy and contemporary polish.
AnnaBelle’s vocals are incredibly effective. She sings with a calm confidence that makes every affirmation feel earned. There’s a reassuring quality in the tone, as if she’s speaking from lived experience rather than offering generic motivation.
Heartfelt, graceful, and quietly empowering, “Belong” feels like a personal declaration and a comforting companion for anyone navigating change, a song that doesn’t just talk about finding your place in the world, but gently encourages you to believe you’ve already started.
Aeon Hyper – “Space Cowboy”
“Space Cowboy” is the kind of album that brings you on a journey you’ll hardly forget. The Cyprus-based artist Aeon Hyper dives headfirst into a sci-fi concept, but keeping that human touch beneath all the cosmic imagery.
A blend of synth-pop, electronica, and atmospheric soundscapes, making this album unfolds like a journey from Earth into the unknown. Rich synths, elaborated rhythms, and cinematic production create a strong sense of movement, while the songwriting keeps the emotional side of the story firmly in focus. Instead of relying on space-themed aesthetics alone, Aeon Hyper uses the concept to explore themes of self-discovery, transformation, and curiosity.
The scope of the project is also impressive. As a fully independent artist handling everything from songwriting and production to mixing and mastering, he maintains a clear and consistent vision from start to finish. The sound balances retro-futuristic influences with modern electronic production, giving the album a timeless quality.
This project may be quite ambitious, but it never loses its sense of purpose. It’s an immersive, thoughtfully crafted debut that rewards listeners willing to take the ride.
Anna Thoresen – “GROUNDHOG DAY”
Anna Thoresen dives straight into that feeling of emotional repetition with her latest track “GROUNDHOG DAY”: same mistakes, same people, same sinking thoughts.. and turns it into something raw, and kind of unsettling but in a good way.
Produced in her LA home studio, the track doesn’t play it safe. The chords feel off-kilter on purpose, like they’re slipping in circle, quite an interesting musical choice here. There’s a stripped-back, almost claustrophobic production style, but it still opens up into these wider, echo-heavy moments that feel like staring at city lights when your head’s not in the right place.
Her vocals carries most of the weight in the song: soft but sharp, like she’s half-inside the memory and half-commenting on it. There are influences from classic alt-rock, but she twists it into something more experimental and modern, less polished, more emotional truth.
This song is incredibly relatable, not just about her own spiral in LA: it taps into that universal feeling of being stuck in your own patterns and not knowing how to exit. Heavy, but weirdly comforting.
