DJ Target has spent years playing everyone else's records. Now he's got one of his own. We talk "Bring Me Flowers", Tiwa Savage, Chip and his 2027 album.

The creator landscape right now is chaos. Everyone's supposed to have a brand, a niche, a lane. Pick one thing and own it. But that's not how culture actually works anymore. You've got artists doing acting, presenters launching podcasts, TikTokers moving into music. The lines are blurred and honestly, they're more interesting that way.

Ten years. That's how long August 26th existed as a streaming ghost, available only through bootleg uploads and illegal sites. Post Malone released the mixtape in May 2016, named it after when his debut album Stoney was supposed to come out, then moved on. Last month, it finally hit all streaming platforms and vinyl for the first time.

Kofi Stone's grandfather was a poet. That detail in the press material shared with us like it was just background information, but its so much more. His grandfather taught him that language is so important. That you don't throw words around. You sit with them, savour them, or just share them internally with yourself until they're right for the world to hear.

I was introduced to Yugo and his management a few years back, and I've just been watching him do his thing ever since. It's always fun to be present when you see someone's trajectory shift like this. The traction that's happened in the last few months alone is mad. "Heartbreak Hotel" with Wizkid and Drake. Spotify editorial, Apple editorial. Cosigns from people like Teddy Swims, Libianca, Connor Price, Mr. Morgan from OVO Sound.

I spoke to LYVIA last year for another piece, and from that conversation it became clear what her actual superpower is. It's not virality, though she's got that. It's not talent, though she obviously has it. It's the fact that she hasn't changed. She's still the girl in the tracksuit on the corner with a mug of tea, still the one who texts fans just to say thank you.

We sat down with another legend. Sir DJ Corey. Ten years in. Wireless. Glastonbury. Boomtown. Womad. Drake's parties. Popcaan's afterparties. Four Red Bull Culture Clash wins. Nike. Puma. Red Bull. Apple. Spotify. #YourDJCouldNeverrr.

Cam Keddy makes records that feel inevitable, like they had no choice but to exist. But there's nothing accidental about it. He and IAmSuspectz sit with a beat and ask the cold questions. Who is this for? Where does it live? Does it survive being quiet? Every decision gets tested. And then somehow the strategy disappears entirely. You just hear the song.

Nottingham has a habit of keeping its best things to itself. Ask anyone from the East Midlands who runs their dancefloors and the answer comes back before the question is finished: Esco-bar. The Juggling Barse. Mr Eastside. Three names for a selector who can carry a room from R&B into UKG into dancehall without anyone catching the joins.

He Went Home First. The World Came After, TYK's Footprint.
