Antidote
Playlist - 75 Songs
Antidote is home to the best new alternative music in the UK and beyond—a celebration of independence, innovation, and artists who don’t just push boundaries but reduce them to rubble. This week, Ashnikko leads the playlist with “Trinkets,” and the rapper, singer, and all-round joy-bringer has a clear idea of how she wants people to feel when they hear it. “‘Trinkets’ is like if you put on a dress made of double-sided tape and then walked through your closet and let everything stick to you, trailing behind you like a train. Nine-inch platforms with ribbons lacing up your legs, trinkets nesting in your hair, purple veil over the eyes because you’re a mystery,” she tells Apple Music. “I want people to feel mischievous and playful and irreverent, like you have a secret and it’s making you giggle throughout the day. Like you’re a prince trapped in the body of a crow scouring the ground for the shiny object that will turn you back into a human.” Hell yeah. Other shiny objects on this week’s playlist are new tracks from Steve Lacy and Lava La Rue. Like all the artists featured, Antidote is always evolving—so keep checking back, and if you hear something you like, add it to your library.
