Back in January, when AG FEST was beginning to take shape, I remember telling my manager that I wanted to shoot it. Not simply attend it. Not simply take a few photographs and enjoy the performances. I wanted to document it.

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.

Representing Fulham’s Bayonne Estate, W1zzy has spent the last two years steadily building momentum and establishing himself as one of the most exciting names emerging from the UK rap scene.

Midnite Pharmacy are proof that the best creative partnerships often start somewhere unexpected. Liam and Si first crossed paths on a Monday morning at DC10 in Ibiza back in 2007, both students at the University of Leeds at the time, studying music and soaking up everything the city's club scene had to offer.
