Banner a_rtwork by the majestic Trav, all of Nanas jams are gathered in_ this playlist.Yes Yes Yes Sunday Jammers! Greetings and endless salutations. Has it felt like ages to you too? Thrilled to be back at the helm, getting our Sunday train chugging along smoothly.

This week’s non-musical prescription: Outdoor swimming. If you’re hardy, hit a lake or reservoir. For warmer dips, find a heated lido. Trust me – it’s sanity insurance if lockdowns return.

Now, the real goods: A label I’ve been bursting to share – 4NCY, helmed by PAV4N (formerly Foreign Beggars’ frontman Pavan Mukhi).

Rewind to our earlier chat about Pavan’s first label venture, Dented Records – that wild ride supporting UK Hip Hop’s golden era (Task Force, Ed Skrein, Stig of the Dump). Same fiery vision fuels 4NCY today: carving pathways for the extraordinary.

This new platform grew organically – artists, creatives and ops crew united by one goal: amplifying global underground talent. Some collaborators date back to Foreign Beggars days; others are fresh faces drawn to the mission. However they arrive, they’re joining a sonic vanguard – where artistry eclipses algorithms.

Your gateway drug: Killswsh’s electrifying debut album ‘Girl’. The title track? A mood-altering cocktail of:

• Icy, soul-drenched vocals
• Sparse, sensual production
• Electropop with R&B’s heartbeat
• Hints of rock’s edge

It’s future R&B reimagined – darkly sweet, dangerously addictive. I’m obsessed with how those vocals glide over the production like moonlight on asphalt.

Stay wavy, Jammers.
