ANALOG BALATON – Hungary
You could say that Aba Zsuffa and Ákos Vörön are two contemplative dudes. And their music is too, in a way. Analog Balaton really started in 2017, when the Budapest-based duo started experimenting with music. It took them years to strike that right balance between house, pop, alternative rock and downtempo electronica. But once they found it, it was a hit.
Released in 2021, Analog Balaton’s debut album LENT, was a huge success with both the public and critics, who named them “Electronic Music Artist of the Year” at the Petőfi Music Awards. Their success has opened the doors to major Hungarian festivals and has enabled them to support numerous local and international acts.
In a few years, Analog Balaton became Hungary’s biggest alternative electronic pop act, drawing crowds of thousands to their highly visual shows.Fresh off their summer tour, the band announced a major arena concert in 2027, during which they will present their third album.
6EURONEUNZIG – Germany
No, 6€90 is not the price tag of their 2026 debut album Fotzen an die macht; it’s the name Kat and Nina came up with for their band while enjoying a happy hour at a bar with attractively-priced cocktails.
The two met after failing an audition. A friendship was born that led to the formation of what may be Germany’s first “pussy rap” band. And just by hearing the genre’s name, you know that 6euroneunzig ’s music is as wild as it gets : rap with raw, unfiltered lyrics that tackle social issues over energetic techno and electro-pop beats.
Their first single, “BADBITCH,” released in 2023, set the tone. Then, they built a cult following in German-speaking countries thanks to their wild concerts and tracks like “SlutAlarm,” “Zur Party,” and “TittenTraining,” which have racked up millions of streams. No doubt that their two most recent songs, “Kleiner Mann” and “Doktor Klaus” will follow the same way.
MELLINA TEY – UNITED KINGDOM
It’s time for you to discover Dark R&B. This subgenre, characterized by slower, darker beats and introspective, raw lyrics, is all the rage right now. And there’s a good reason why Mellina Tey has been crowned the “princess of Dark R&B.”
Since her first release in 2021, the young London-based singer, songwriter and producer has been quietly building one of independent dark R&B’s most devoted late-night audiences, gathering 500k monthly Spotify listeners and over 100 million streams across platforms, with tracks like “2AM,” “Before I Move On,” “Obsession,” or “Bank On It”, all produced and released independently through TuneCore.
After releasing “Did you get the memo” last March, Mellina Tey kept deliberately silent for a while, holed up in her studio to record her next era. With her new single “On The Floor” released on 20th August, the self-produced artist is preparing for her next big step.
ALOÏSE SAUVAGE – France
Aloïse Sauvage is one of those people whose talent cannot be confined to a single field. Aloïse Sauvage is a circus artist, a breakdancer, and, above all, a renowned actress who rose to fame in 2017 with the movie 120 Beats Per Minute.
But what interests us here is her career as a singer and musician. After her first singles in 2017, followed by a debut EP called Jimi (2019) she has released two acclaimed albums, Dévorantes (2020) and Sauvage (2022). Her musical style, heavily influenced by French rap, slam poetry, and electronic pop, quickly found an audience. In 2020, she won the “Stage Revelation” award at the Victoires de la Musique.
A talented lyricist, Aloïse Sauvage tackles everything from love stories to more complex topics such as homophobia, sexual violence, and gender issues in her songs, as in “Tomboy,” her new single that heralds her third album, La Foudre.
KRIS FLOYD – PUERTO RICO
While Puerto Rico is undoubtedly the mecca of reggaeton, Kris Floyd has managed to transcend the genre’s conventions to create his own musical world, incorporating influences from soul, R&B, and even trap to the globally acclaimed Latin music genre.
Through meticulously crafted releases such as the EPs En lo que Vuelvo Ill and El Último Mixtape, the young artist from Bayamón has built a growing reputation and following, both on his native island and beyond. And his songwriting talents have earned him collaborations with industry heavyweights like Tainy, Selena Gomez, and J Balvin.
With his latest album, Noches en La Isla, Vol. 2, Kris Floyd once again reaffirms his commitment to creating immersive and authentic artistic experiences. This EP was also the catalyst for his first concert in Puerto Rico, where he performed with a live band and alongside emerging guest artists.
ABO EL ANWAR – Egypt
Now a leading figure in the Arab hip-hop and trap scene, Egyptian rapper and songwriter Abo El Anwar has come a long way since the release of his first single in 2019.
Known for his inimitable flow, the artist has made a name for himself thanks to his relentless release schedule and numerous collaborations. Since 2020, he has released no fewer than 3 albums, 9 EPs, and about 60 singles – tracks like “Mmmm Mmmm,” “Khalsana,” and “Brrr Brrr Brrr”. were amongst his major hits. And he has worked with all the biggest names of the Egyptian rap scene: Marwan Pablo ,3enaba, Abyusif, Lil Baba…
Early 2026, he had reached over 80 million views on his YouTube channel and maintains a massive following on Spotify, 356K monthly Spotify listeners and 850k followers on Anghami. Needless to say that his 3rd album, Kalam Mkntsh Haaolo, has been heavily streamed since its release in May.
