Follow Urban Radar playlist on Spotify!

Urban Radar has a brand new Spotify playlist, so now you can keep up with what’s hot on our office stereo. There’s an abundance of fantastic new music out there but rather than inundate you with it, we’re keeping it simple by picking just ten new tracks that you have to hear. We’ll be updating the playlist once a week, bringing you the best new and old tracks from both signed and unsigned artists that are on our radar. Among this week’s top ten, Quadri sits at the helm with his white-hot track ‘Fire’, followed closely by our most recent discovery Discrete, who’s making his bid for sound of summer 2018. Give it a spin and hit the follow button if you like what you hear.
