Digital FORT: Katie from Austra plays us an unreleased song from her parents’ basement

Mariah The Scientist's 2019 single "Reminder" only took five minutes to write, according to Mariah herself, but behind its slinky melodies it's a difficult song that doesn't shy away from the nastiest details of a toxic relationship.

Childish Major takes a break from behind the boards to bring us an edition of Quarantine Cooking on Day 2 of Digital FORT.

Dallas native singer Tayla Parx has been in the business for much longer than her youth might suggest, appearing on the big screen for films like 2007's Hairspray and on shows like Everybody Hates Chris as a pre-teen. Last April, Parx released her debut album, with 15-track We Need To Talk.

Finneas dropped by The FADER offices about a week after sweeping the Grammys alongside his sister, Billie Eilish. He turned out to be one of the most down-to-Earth musicians who’d rolled through the office in the past year. He even spent some time hanging out with our resident French Bulldog, Wasabi. For Digital FORT, the songwriter and producer sent us an appropriately unassuming video — just Finneas playing a lilting “I Don’t Miss You At All” on a small Spanish guitar.

Just last week, Philadelphia native singer Orion Sun released an 11-track album titled Hold Space For Me.

Chicago pop artists KAINA and Sen Morimoto have been collaborating since 2017, when the former sang backup for the latter at a Lincoln Hall show.

Now they're submitting a stripped-down live version of the track to Digital FORT.

New age band TENGGER make genuinely expansive music, records that grow beyond themselves with each new added layer and idea. A family band composed of itta and Marqido and their seven-year-old son RAAI, TENGGER are utterly unique and absolutely worth tracking down on tour when it's safe to do that sort of thing again. For proof, here's there Digital FORT submission, an ecstatic version of "High" from their European tour earlier this year.

London-born producer Juls has become one of the biggest names in Afrobeats over the past few years, working with Burna Boy, Mr Eazi, and Maleek Berry to help define a sound that's gone truly global.

It starts out blissful but picks up pretty quickly with contributions from South African house artists DJ Maphorisa, Semi Tee, and Kabza De Small.

We’ll be back tomorrow, bright and early, for Day 2 of Digital FORT.

Though he burst into mainstream consciousness last year when his debut album Ghetto Gospel peaked in the top of the Billboard 200, Rod Wave had been building a steady catalogue of pleasantly soulful street music for some years. And, just last year, before his debut dropped, he was still providing fans with loose music to hold onto.
