A Festive December Round-Up: New Releases, New Episodes & Marmalade Moments 🎄🍊✨

The Marmalade Spread: Karan Gupta

The Marmalade Spread returns with a forward-thinking guest curator, Karan Gupta. Originally from India and now based in London, Karan has spent years in artist and label management, supporting over 80 acts across India and beyond. After experiencing the intensity of management life first-hand, he founded MNGR - a workflow OS designed to bring clarity to the chaos of modern artist management. From deal tracking to invoicing and reporting, MNGR now supports agencies managing 100+ artists, helping teams scale with structure and confidence. We’re excited to have Karan on this episode, curating a selection of tracks and sharing insights you won’t want to miss.

Tune in for the live premiere today 19th December at 13:00 UK / 08:00 ET on YouTube. You’ll also be able to listen on Mixcloud as well.

rallycap: “sharks teeth” out now

rallycap has released his newest single “sharks teeth”! This is a song about simple days with someone you love after life gets hectic🦈 Even as the world feels uncertain and the sky is falling, the song reminds us that being with someone you love can make everything feel simple again ✨💙 

Lukr: “December 26s (All Year Long)” out now

Equal parts cozy and crushing, Lukr’s “December 26s (All Year Long)” glows with the bittersweet warmth of Vince Guaraldi’s “A Charlie Brown Christmas” and the lyrical melancholy of Phoebe Bridgers. ❄️🕯️In 3 songs, Lukr captures that delicious ache between joy and longing - warm, wistful, and hopeful - a soundtrack for quiet drives, twinkle lights, and December feelings that never melt.✨ 

Still Pigeon: “Gas Off” out now

Still Pigeon return with Gas Off, the lead single from their self-titled EP, accompanied by striking new visuals. Released via BSI Music, in a partnership with BSI Merch & Artist Services, the track marks the beginning of a new venture supporting the band’s next chapter. Blending dark humour with alt-rock grit, Gas Off captures the spiral of self-doubt through heavy synths, sharp guitars, and a cathartic, head-thrashing chorus.🎸⚡️

Mac Adams: “Never Know (Live)” Out Now

Recorded live at Deadline Studios, Never Know – Live is out now. Capturing the light and dark of love, this stripped-back piano performance showcases Mac Adams at his most honest. Building on the momentum he’s gained this year, Mac looks ahead to an exciting 2026 with more projects and releases on the way. Add this one to your laid-back holiday playlist and let it sit with you ✨💜🌈

Brandon’s Inspiring Japan Trip! 🇯🇵

Our Founder, Brandon, recently returned from an exciting trip to Japan with BSI Merch & Artist Services, where he immersed himself in the local culture and connected with creative and industry communities across Tokyo and beyond. His time there not only offered fresh inspiration but also helped deepen our global perspective as we look ahead to new projects and collaborations in 2026. Stay tuned - big things are coming! 🇯🇵✨
