With haunting vocals, a deep, moody bassline, and an emotional core steeped in desire, the single transports listeners into what Sophie describes as “another dimension.” It’s a world of heightened feeling and suspended reality, perfectly in tune with the song’s cinematic inspirations.

Odeal for NOTION The Artists Vol. 2

1 month ago | notion.online | Kitty Robson

“My music is not one thing, it’s whatever I feel it needs to be in that moment. Nobody feels the same day-to-day, has the same thoughts or makes the same mistakes. It’s music, that’s what it is, and I try my best to make sure it’s the best music for me.” From a double MOBO win to Summer Walker collaborations and cult-status club nights, Odeal’s star is rising fast.

1 month ago | notion.online | Kitty Robson

Out of this, though, Hope’s album offers just that: hope. Running through the album is this sense of optimism in spite of difficulty, a sentiment that she didn’t realise was so paramount to the project until its completion. “I think I only came to the realisation that hope was the main theme of the album super late in the process,” the artist explains, “and I’d already landed on the title much earlier on”.
Electric Dreams: Selected by Girls Don't Sync

1 month ago | notion.online | Kitty Robson

Girls Don’t Sync’s playlist is a no-holds-barred tribute to the high-octane energy that fuels both their sets and the spirit of Electric Dreams. Packed with percussive club tools, bass-heavy rollers, and rave-edged remixes, the selection captures the kinetic charge of the exhibition’s glitch-era visuals and experimental soundscapes. From the pounding urgency of Dart’s ‘Emergency’ to the euphoric punch of ‘Move Your Body’, each track channels a future-facing, body-moving intensity.
Electric Dreams: Selected by Shanti Celeste

1 month ago | notion.online | Kitty Robson

Shanti Celeste’s curated playlist is a deep, dreamy glide through the sonic textures that echo the mood of Electric Dreams. Her selection traces the emotional undercurrents of the exhibition – from Kraftwerk’s synthetic precision on ‘Computer World 2’ to the lush, atmospheric warmth of Susumu Yokota’s ‘Blue Sky and Yellow Sunflower’. There’s a hypnotic balance here: shimmering electro, ambient techno, and 2000s-era electronica that feel both futuristic and nostalgic.
