The follow-up to 2016’s Take Her Up to Monto (with a series of 12” collaborations with Maurice Fulton in between), Róisín Machine was produced in collaboration with Sheffield producer Richard Barratt (AKA Crooked Man AKA DJ Parrot AKA one half of bleep techno legends Sweet Exorcist and more), who Murphy has been working with on-and-off for years; the full-length result of this collaboration is a record of eccentric disco-house – sweatbox music for home discos. Elsewhere this week, BLACKPINK deliver their long-awaited debut, Shamir stuns with their self-titled seventh album, and 21 Savage and Metro Boomin get together for their second Savage Mode album. Take a listen below. 21 SAVAGE & METRO BOOMIN, SAVAGE MODE II BLACKPINK, THE ALBUM EARTHEATER, PHOENIX: FLAMES ARE DEW UPON MY SKIN JÓNSI, SHIVER RÓISÍN MURPHY, ROISIN MACHINE SHAMIR, SHAMIR WORKING MEN’S CLUB, WORKING MEN’S CLUB Expand your creative community and connect with 15,000 creatives from around the world.READ MORE7 of Chase Infiniti’s favourite K-pop tracksMeet The Deep, K-pop’s antihero ‘This is our Nirvana!’: Are Geese Gen Z’s first great rock band?10 of Yung Lean’s best collabs‘We’re like brother and sister’: Yung Lean and Charli xcx in conversationIs art finally getting challenging again?The only tracks you need to hear from November 2025Inside the world of Amore, Spain’s latest rising starLella Fadda is blazing a trail in the Egyptian music sceneThe rise of Sweden’s post-pop undergroundNeda is the singer-songwriter blending Farsi classics with Lily Allen 6 Flog Gnaw artists on what’s inspiring them right now
