Future Stars: Martin Garrix (Spinnin’ Records)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. I wouldn't normally write about a DJ who hasn't even had a UK hit, but I had to make an exception when I saw Dutch house DJ Martin Garrix featured in Billboard's 21 Under 21 list and discovered he is only 17 years old.… Continue reading Future Stars: Martin Garrix (Spinnin’ Records)

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. By this point, I'm sure you've all seen the latest viral video hit, The Fox by Norwegian TV stars Ylvis.

It’s time for the second instalment of my new feature, analysing the highest charting new entry to the UK singles chart top 10 each week. #7 – Ben Pearce – What I Might Do It felt to me like this song came from nowhere.

Future Stars: Flyte (Island Records)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. British band Flyte, who have just signed to Island Records, are proof that you can get a major record deal without an online fanbase, as their two music videos have less than 10,000 views combined and they have 380 Twitter followers. Instead the label… Continue reading Future Stars: Flyte (Island Records)
Future Stars: Madison Beer (Island Records)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Madison Beer is a 14-year-old pop star who became famous in July 2012 when Justin Bieber tweeted a link to her video on YouTube.
