It may not feel like it, but 2024 marks a decade of Amapiano, the dance-focused subgenre that’s burst from South Africa’s party scene and into the mainstream. Infiltrating charts, music festivals and club nights worldwide, the sound has amassed over 1.4 billion streams on @Spotify alone, becoming completely unavoidable, thanks to its constant evolution. Here, we meet 5 people pushing boundaries in the genre. Photography Reba - @dripvisuals_sa , Tuli - @mini______aesthetic , Phiona - @salimgarcia , Nasaa – @thapelomabotja_za , Bontle - @39picturess

It’s been a miserable summer so far, but with the news of a new @stefflondon album, it seems the sun has finally broken through the clouds. The singer-songwriter’s debut record is filled with global rhythms, from dancehall to Amapiano and everything in between, as the Birmingham native shows she can do it all over 20 scintillating tracks.

As it continues to take over the world, we revisit 10 colossal Amapiano anthems that made it big this past decade. To listen to more Amapiano, check out @spotify ’s Amapiano Grooves playlist and their A Decade of Amapiano campaign. 1. ‘Mnike’ by @tylericu , @_tumelo_za , @djmaphorisa , @nandipha808_ , @ceeka_rsa , @tyronedee 2. ‘Tshwala Bam’ by @titom_yuppe012 , @s.n.e_za , @eeque_thedreama 3. ‘Imithandazo’ by @kabelomotha , @mthunzisa ,@djmaphorisa , @youngstunna_rsa , @reasonhd_ , Umthakathi Kush 4. ‘Dalie’ by @kamo_mphela , Tyler ICU, @khalilharison , @Baby_S.O.N 5. ‘Abalele’ by Kabza De Small, DJ Maphorisa, @ami_faku 6. ‘Yahyuppiyah’ by @unclewaffles_ , @tonyduardo , @_.justin99 , @pcee.official , @chley_nkosi , @eeque_thedreama 7. ‘Champion Sound’ by @davido , @focalistic 8. ‘Abo Mvelo’ by @daliwonga_sa , @mellow_and_sleazy012 , M.J 9. ‘Mina Nawe’ by @soamattrix , @mashudu_vocalist , @happyjazzman_rsa , @dj__emotionz

This is Brat summer, and lime green is reigning supreme. From @charli_xcx and @fontainesband to even a @limebikeuk , here’s our take on the neon takeover.⁠ ⁠ Swipe to learn more about this season’s fluorescent favourite!⁠ ⁠ Words @mayonnaisydaisy

Polymathic producer-artist @tendaiwall takes us behind the scenes of his forthcoming project, the rain, which celebrates his new-found understanding of himself. tendai has never been an artist to confine himself to a box. That’s why his forthcoming project, the rain, wasn’t recorded in the walls of a studio, surrounded by top-of-the-range equipment. Pitching up in The Raido Room, an ominous-looking warehouse space, he invited some of Britain’s brightest artists to offer their thoughts and not necessarily record, but to listen. Bakar, Wretch 32 and Zino Vinci are just a few names who made it down to the DIY room. Like all of tendai’s music, the rain is self-produced, disregarding people’s expectations and making something truly unique. Find our full BTS gallery of tendai’s time at The Raido Room on notion.online.

Babe, wake up! @pheelzgood is releasing his new EP, Pheelz Good II, on Friday! We brought the breakout Nigerian star into our studio earlier this year to talk all things ‘Go Low’, his energetic anthem that shut down Electric Brixton for the @lit.everywhere London showcase.

Whether you’re heading to Worthy Farm or watching on your sofa with a glass of wine, @glastofest is this weekend, people! However you plan on enjoying the world’s biggest and best festival, there is a wealth of rising stars on this year’s line-up that we’d hate for you to miss. From breakout indie rockers like @thelastdinnerparty and @newdad to spectral club selections from @niks_bad and @ahadadreamx and big beats courtesy of @thesilhouettesproject and @senseiapex , here’s everyone you should be trying to catch at this year’s Glastonbury.
