HYPERSPACE: Best Discoveries of the Week – Episode 185
Hey Space Travellers,
Are we ready for another incredible episode of Hyperspace?
Episode 185 landed, fasten your seatbelts and get ready to depart!
Sienná – “EMA”
Sienná works on your mood before you even notice with “EMA”, a project of 9 tracks that goes from ambient calm to glitchy sounds, drum & bass grooves and cinematic atmospheres, with touches of Japanese tradition woven through. Nothing sits still for long, yet it all holds together wonderfully.
We won’t go track by track here, but we can tell you that her sound is built on contrast. Heavy basses and gritty textures sit beside airy moments, so the album keeps shifting between dreamy and dark. Electronic beats, haunting vocals and orchestral sounds blend into one flowing world, and the shifts happen so smoothly you barely notice them. It’s immersive, a little strange, and made to be listened to as a whole.
The emotions expressed are about self-belief and holding onto hope in a world that’s beautiful but a little sad. That sadness never takes over, it just hovers nearby.
The purpose is simple: Sienná turns what she sensed in nature into sound, a set of messages about how everything is connected. By keeping it loose and imperfect, she also makes a point: real human feeling still comes through in the age of AI-made music.
Saint Kyriaki – “Wild Woman Greek Isles”
“Wild Woman Greek Isles” is exactly what happens when a poem gets handed a pair of running shoes. Saint Kyriaki’s spoken-word delivery is kind of raw, almost theatrical, while the production around it races along on rolling bass and syncopated jungle breaks, with atmospheric elements floating in between, making the track feel wider. Her voice doesn’t get buried in the groove, but it sits right at the front, and the clash between her gritty storytelling and the crazy club energy is exactly what keeps you hooked.
This track is also a true long-distance effort. She first recorded the poetry a cappella in Detroit, then sent it to Athens producer Starious, who built the whole track around her voice. You can feel both places in it: Detroit’s style in the delivery, and European club polish in the beat.
The result is proof that music doesn’t need borders, or a matching age or genre. It’s personal, a bit wild, and made for the club and a heart-to-heart at once.

STREAMER – “Unleashed”
“Unleashed” does exactly what the title says. It starts by winding up the tension, with guitar riffs bouncing on top of atmospheric synths, and you can feel it coiling like a spring. Then the drop hits and everything opens into full dancefloor mode, right where indie rock swagger meets trance euphoria, leaving you nodding your head with its powerful bass and punchy beat.
This track is pretty clear and straightforward: nothing hangs around, every section pushes right into the next, and the final stretch is pure release, the kind of ending that makes you want to throw your arms up. The vocals complement the track during the verses, adding that unique character that makes it stand out even more.
This is all about heat, giving in and finally letting go. The words are a bit cheeky, but it’s the music that really cuts loose, and it never overplays its hand.
This is a real banger: it’s one for a loud car stereo, a packed room, or any moment you need to stop holding back!
Rabbit on the Moon – “Amor”
Rabbit on the Moon brings us a single that hits different once you know where it came from. More than two decades ago, the artist spent evenings with the woman who would become his wife, listening to love songs and translating their Spanish lyrics into English. Years later, he is writing those songs himself. That’s kind of poetic, right?
The arrangement features warm Latin-pop touches that support the melody without competing with it. The vocals are conversational and unforced, which lends the lyrics an unguarded quality.
This beautiful single is also part of something bigger. It’s one of the tracks on a 21-song project called “May 21: A Love Story”, which tells the real story of the artist’s relationship, from falling in love to marriage, family, and growing older together.
The result is sincere, understated, and personal: it’s a love song that values honesty over polish, and it communicates a very simple sentiment: remembering a shared past, and choosing it again.
Lior Golan – “MIDNIGHT TRAINS”
Lior Golan’s debut project called “Midnight Trains”, literally sounds like a band playing together in one room, and that’s its superpower. The bass and drums were tracked live, so the whole EP breathes and sways like a proper gig instead of a stack of perfect takes. It’s kinda heavy, bluesy classic rock with big riffs, warm Hammond and piano, and it nods to the old-school legends without feeling like a tribute act. Crazy!
It isn’t squeaky clean, and it doesn’t pretend to be. Golan sings for feeling over finesse, a bit raw, a bit gravelly, and totally believable. Sometimes the mix gets dense and the words get swallowed, but the emotion still comes through, loud and clear.
Under all that volume there’s some real weight. This is a record about getting through the dark stuff, with pain, recovery and holding on running through it, and you can tell these songs did a lot of work for the guy who wrote them. Sincere, unfussy and proper heart-on-sleeve, it’s rock that hits hard and means every second!!
The House Flies – “Lost Literature”
The House Flies become the protagonist of the stage with their single “Lost Literature”. That bassline.. is the first thing you hear, and honestly the reason this song is a real banger. It’s got a bounce you wouldn’t expect from a band this gloomy, and the drums just sit right on top of it and never budge. Crunchy and dark guitars bring some character, staying out of the way and letting the groove do its thing.
Then there’s the chorus, which loops back so often it should get annoying. But no, it doesn’t. If anything, that’s where it hooked us, because the repetition makes the whole thing feel like a thought spinning round your head in the middle of the night.
The words are all fragments: a rental car, radio fuzz, a porch light. Nobody explains anything, and the song seems to be asking who you’ve turned into since back then without caring much about an answer. A bit sad, a bit hypnotic.
Moody but easy to nod your head to. Trust us, this one’s worth a listen!
Elias Dream – “Serra”
“Serra” is Elias Dream’s latest single, starting off almost casual, like a guy telling you a story over a drink, and that’s probably what makes it so uncomfortable. The rap is plain-spoken, close, 0 flex.. just a voice walking you through what happens. At first it’s a bit of attention, maybe even flattering. Then it isn’t. By the time it tips into stalking and threats, you’re already too deep to bail.
The mood is where this one really gets you. Nothing in the track is just there to sound cool. The guitars keep getting heavier as the situation turns scarier, and the organ adds an old-school color that makes it all feel a little haunted. Even the rap and rock mix sounds natural, because each one helps tell the story. By the end, we were properly tense!
It’s a dark one, definitely. But we kept wanting to know what came next, and we’re still a bit unsettled. Not a feel-good track, but a proper gripping one. Turn the lights down for this!

Brannen – “Keep Dancing With Me”
Next up is one of those tracks that makes you wanna stop checking your phone and just be there. We are talking about “Keep Dancing With Me” by Brannen: it’s electronic pop at an easy 124 BPM, so it’s got enough energy to make your body move. But the groove is not all.. it features beautiful, warm melodies and atmospheric layers that give the song an incredible depth.
The vocals pull everything together here: it’s expressive, with real feeling in it, and it sits nicely against the instrumental, giving it an ethereal vibe. That’s where the emotion comes from, since the whole track is about holding onto those little moments you know won’t last.
It’s a clean, polished track, and it definitely doesn’t lose its heart along the way. Big night out or a solo late-night wander, it fits either way, and it’ll probably be stuck in your head by morning.
ERICKOSCAR – “Till We Turn Grey”
“Till We Turn Grey” is a love song that doesn’t play games. No breakup twist, just a guy saying what he loves about someone and meaning every word. That’s refreshing, because most love songs are about the rush of falling, and this one is about sticking around.
The whole thing is warm, sincere, written with heart rather than mind. ERICKOSCAR did an incredible job here, and we can definitely feel his skills with the guitar. This is the kind of song that lets the feeling do the talking: it rolls along at its own pace, like a slow Sunday with nowhere to be, and the singing sounds like someone finally saying the quiet part out loud.
The title does a lot of the work too. “Till we turn grey” is a sweet promise, and the track feels like one: steady, grateful and hopeful about what’s still ahead. Easy to sing along to and easy to feel. If you want to get in a good mood, then you gotta hit play on this one right now!
Hamish – “Singing In My Soul”
We’ll close this episode with the perfect tune, “Singing In My Soul” by Hamish. This is the kind of song you put on when the day’s been loud enough. Built around gently strummed acoustic guitar and a soft groove, the track delivers some incredible emotion.
The voice is definitely the best bit here. It’s a little weathered and totally genuine, sung like he’s chatting to a mate on the porch rather than selling you anything. You’ll catch yourself humming the chorus without realising, which is usually a sign a song’s doing its job, and that’s a serious talent.
It’s a touch raw round the edges too, in a good way. No glossy sheen, just real playing and a real singer, which gives it a cosy feel, like your favourite jumper.
Perfect for a slow morning, a long drive or a quiet evening when you need to switch off. Simple, sweet and sure to stick around in your head. Hit play and let it do its thing!
