In 2023, horlin won Ninajirachi’s 'Things I Never Nu' remix competition, leading to its official release on the Second Nature Remix EP via NLV Records. horlin’s new mixtape “dwell” is a collection of glitched-out, glossy and unapologetically vulnerable synth pop. 

second skin 
Second Skin (the alias of hyperpop/trance artist nabii), is a downtempo/alt-pop project that captures a sound that is introspective and vulnerable, exploring the heavier emotions often left unspoken. second skin is a testament to her versatility - a new side of her artistry, stepping away from the high-energy world of dance music to deliver something more atmospheric, raw, and honest. 

Soft Porn 
Soft Porn is the alternative/electronic project of songwriter/producer, Jye G. Blending a state of sedated melancholy with fast breaks and fuzzy synths, the sweet spot between high energy and ethereal is a line that for the Naarm based artist, needs to stay blurred.
