april june | the PROPAGANDA site
Singer-songwriter april june (aka Victoria Zolotukhina) is a dream pop artist who leans more towards the pop side of the template. Her music is dreamy for sure, and there is plenty of pastel shimmer to go around, paired with some haze in her vocals. But she also tends to opt for an earthy and danceable sound in her arrangements that, to some extent, channel the spirit of '80s synth pop as filtered through bedroom pop, rather than going all in on an ethereal feel. The sense of melancholy and longing that permeates her music throughout work pretty well with her generally uptempo sound.

Human Error Club | the PROPAGANDA site
Human Error Club is the collaboration between three LA area musicians: keyboardists Jesse Justice and Diego Gaeta, and drummer Mekala Session. The core of their music is experimentally inclined, electronically augmented, hip-hop inspired DIY jazz that feels like it is being made in a garage. The music is raw, often infused with Justice's electronic effects and club type beats, but also with a solid sense of jazz that lays the foundations of their work. It is also mostly improvisational in its construction and it feels like that. Their 2025 album … at Kenny's House is a collaboration with producer Kenny Segal, who brings his Backwoodz Studioz buddies like Quelle Chris and Pink Siifu to provide the rapping on the band's tracks.
R&B artist Nourished by Time has a keen ear for the late '80s sound, some low-key post-punk and synth pop flavors for sure, but he's locked in mainly on the exuberance of new jack swing.

Nourished by Time | the PROPAGANDA site
Nourished by Time is the stage name used by singer-songwriter Marcus Brown, who has an eclectic style that draws from a variety of sources in the land of indie pop and R&B, and is particularly keen on a few popular trends of the '80s including post-punk and synth pop sprinkled around what appears to be his core interest, new jack swing. What he does is not so much a loving recreation of something that belongs in the past, but assembling a collage of contemporary pop using artifacts that are in the front of his mind. There is a discernible lo-fi feel to his production that gives his music a down-to-earth quality. He consistently keeps his tunes catchy, and his delivery, even-keeled.
Indie artist Angel Abaya flips the script and goes all in on wild and rambunctious dance music as Gelli Haha, a delightful mixture of oddball energy and an absurdist's whimsy.

Gelli Haha | the PROPAGANDA site
Gelli Haha is actually the indie rock artist Angel Abaya embracing the ecstasy of dance music and just letting it go. She builds her music primarily on a synth pop sound, with a strong disco element woven into it. Her use of synths also comes across as a call back to the '80s incarnation of dance music. She keeps a light and effervescent tone, and apparently relishes a slightly absurdist tinge in her lyrics. Her songs are as uptempo and lively as they are catchy. The production in her debut album Switcheroo (2026) is sparkling with a meticulous polish applied with the kind of care that makes sure all the spontaneous joy she pours into her music is not dampened.

Kim Churchill | the PROPAGANDA site
Kim Churchill is an Australian multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter with an upbeat sound and a melodic flow that matches the carefree beach and countryside feel that he exudes. His songs are catchy and breezy. They come with a strong folk base, though they are often wrapped inside some well-constructed, effective pop exterior. He sings in a smooth voice that is as relaxed and gentle as his overall sound, and, to be fair, his entire persona. His guitar work, especially his finger-picking, is another stand out, which works well with the overall charm his music consistently projects. This is the kind of music that could serve as the soundtrack for folks experiencing a joyous solitude.

Lost Frequencies | the PROPAGANDA site

His music is typically organized in the form of songs in the conventional sense, with romantic overtones that are underscored by the vocal contributions by various collaborating artists. He has a great deal of knack for putting together catchy melodies and applying a high level of polish to his presentation. He keeps his dance floor beats up front with a steady and consistent tempo that does not seem to waver across his body of work, and keeps the action going.
Icelandic trio sideproject has an eclectic approach where various grime and club beats and musical phrases seesaw back and forth in a glitchy and unruly way that provides its own thrill for jaded ears.

sideproject | the PROPAGANDA site
sideproject is an Icelandic trio of producers and experimental artists who create an eclectic form of music that combines elements of grime, bass, and club music in creative ways that resist categorization. Their music is potentially chaotic, shifting directions, never quite settling into a specific groove, keeping it discordant, glitchy, and unruly. It is a patchwork of melodic segments connected through mutating rhythms and fluid textures where elements of dance music are continually combined and re-combined into a flow that does not always conform to the basic definition of dance music.
Bass player, singer, composer Amy Gadiaga has a knack for weaving jazz and pop seamlessly into a unified sound and creating songs that feel at home in both worlds.

Amy Gadiaga | the PROPAGANDA site
Vocalist, bassist, and composer Amy Gadiaga was raised in Paris, but found her footing in London's jazz scene. She brings pop and jazz together in her music, not by mutating either form to sound like the other, but by overlaying one on top of the other, and giving both parts their full due in the process with her remarkable skills in composition. Her pop has some neo soul tones in general, though this is not always prominent: she has some songs that tap into a rich French pop vein, which brings more shades into her catalog. On the jazz side of things, she stays fairly close to a conventional sound, keeping her focus on the double bass and acoustic instruments for accompaniment. She channels flavors of peak '60s sound and displays them boldly and confidently.
