Bristol Music Weekly
Welcome to December ❄️
As we cross the threshold into December, the Bristol scene shows zero signs of hibernation. This week is absolutely stacked with variety — from fuzz-drenched psych-rock legends and blistering breakcore to tender winter folk and deep, rolling D&B. Whether you need something to warm your heart or shake the walls, we've got you covered.
Bandcamp Picks 🎶
Dreamwave – “Murmers on the Dune”
Dreamwave deliver a shimmering, widescreen ambient-electronica piece with “Murmers on the Dune”. Wind-swept synths, drifting melodies and sun-bleached textures create a cinematic desert dreamscape. It’s atmospheric, introspective and beautifully produced — perfect for late-night headphones or sunrise drives.
Annie Gardiner – “Sleeping Dogs”
Annie Gardiner returns with “Sleeping Dogs”, a raw and atmospheric release steeped in dark alt-folk and shadowy indie tones. Her commanding vocals and gritty production create a moody, cinematic experience — powerful, haunting and unmistakably Bristol.
Phlegmonade – “Ode To A Machine”
Phlegmonade serve up experimental, glitch-driven chaos with “Ode To A Machine”. Fizzing electronics, fractured rhythms and surreal textures collide to form a playful but alien soundscape. A brilliantly weird and creative addition to this week’s lineup.
The Teknoist, Hellfish & Friends – “Ninja Columbo 13”
The Teknoist and Hellfish join forces with Mollie Rush and The Death Ninjas for a blistering explosion of breakcore, hardcore techno and rave extremism. High-speed drums, distorted bass and unhinged energy make this an essential listen for fans of Bristol’s harder underground.
VOXI & Mindset – “Bad Horns”
Released via Yamatái Records, “Bad Horns” is a gritty, swaggering Bristol bass cut powered by razor-sharp drums, warped low-end and a dark, hypnotic groove. A heavyweight, system-ready track built for smoky dancefloors.
The Heads – “Socially Awkward”
The Heads return with “Socially Awkward”, a fuzz-drenched, psychedelic garage-rock blast overflowing with distortion, attitude and swirling chaos. Loud, raw and gloriously messy — everything fans love about one of Bristol’s most iconic psych bands.
Spotify Drops 🔥
Tom Wigley, surfbored – “Kinda Like Doing Nothing (Mystic State Remix)”
Bristol D&B duo Mystic State flip Tom Wigley & surfbored’s original into a shadowy, deep-rolling rework. Sub-heavy atmospherics, delicate pads and minimalist percussion give the track a hazy, introspective feel — a perfect bridge between liquid D&B and downtempo electronica.
Profiler – “Illusion”
Profiler unleash “Illusion”, a hard-hitting alt-metal track packed with punchy riffs, soaring vocals and a fierce sense of momentum. It’s modern metalcore with a sharp melodic edge, showcasing why the Bristol trio continue to rise on both local and national stages.
Lyle! (feat. Emily Rosenfeld) – “Winter Boy”
Lyle! brings tender indie-folk warmth with “Winter Boy”, featuring beautiful guest vocals from Emily Rosenfeld. Gentle guitar lines, soft harmonies and intimate lyricism make this a cosy, emotional winter track — delicate, heartfelt and quietly captivating.
Dominic Ridgway – “My Mind”
Dominic Ridgway drops “My Mind”, a deep, immersive drum & bass journey filled with atmospheric pads, rolling percussion and emotional weight. Subtle, elegant and expertly crafted — a standout for fans of moody, introspective D&B.
Davey Woodward – “Mumbo in the Jumbo”
Davey Woodward delivers jangly indie charm with “Mumbo in the Jumbo”. Warm guitars, playful lyricism and a nostalgic British indie feel make this track timeless, witty and wonderfully off-kilter — a slice of classic Bristol songwriting craft.
