SoundCloud ICYMI: Check out the latest episode of ‘SoundCloud Next Wave’

The latest episode of SoundCloud Next Wave, SoundCloud’s mini-docuseries spotlighting emerging music scenes around the globe, is now available. The latest episode, ‘Northern Stars,’ features Toronto-based, budding local artists Harrison, a l l i e, Birthday Boy and M.I. Blue, whose music is characterized by a futuristic and playful blend of r&b, electronic and pop.

‘Degenerate Generation, the debut episode of SoundCloud Next Wave went live in July and explored Los Angeles-based artists Lil Tracy, Fat Nick and Pouya, who stand at the helm of the goth rap movement.
