Djo’s ‘End of Beginning’ Hits #1 in the UK for a Second Week

By

18 January 2026

Y’know those songs that creep up quietly, live in your head for months, then suddenly take over the world? Djo‘s ‘End of Beginning’ is officially in that category.

The track has now secured a second consecutive week at #1 on the Official UK Singles Chart, cementing its late-bloom glow-up after originally appearing on Djo’s 2022 album DECIDE. It also recently went double platinum in the UK and passed two billion streams on Spotify, which is… a lot of feelings, statistically speaking.

A Song That Refused to Rush

‘End of Beginning’ previously peaked at #4 back in 2024, quietly gathering momentum before finally claiming the top spot last week. Now it’s holding its ground, and doing so globally.

The single has also landed:

#1 on Billboard’s Global 200
#6 on the Billboard Hot 100

Not bad for a track that’s been patiently waiting its turn.

The Crux Era Is Still Climbing

The chart wins come alongside continued momentum for Djo’s third album, The Crux, and its companion release, The Crux Deluxe. Other tracks from the record are climbing the UK charts too:

‘Basic Being Basic’ at #62
‘Delete Ya’ rising to #72

Released earlier this year via AWAL, The Crux marked a shift in sound for Djo, leaning into guitar-driven arrangements, warm instrumentation, and songwriting that sits somewhere between introspection and dry wit.

The album was written across multiple cities before being shaped at Electric Lady Studios in New York, with longtime collaborator Adam Thein. It’s a record that feels restless, reflective, and surprisingly grounded, especially considering the scale it’s now reached.

A Massive Year on Stage

2025 was also the year Djo took the project properly global. Highlights included:

Debuts at Glastonbury Festival and Coachella
A completely sold-out international tour
Three nights at LA’s Greek Theatre
Three nights at London’s O2 Forum

Not exactly easing into it.

What’s Next

Djo is set to hit major festivals again in 2026, including:

Lollapalooza Argentina
Lollapalooza Chile
Lollapalooza Brasil
Festival Estéreo Picnic (Colombia)

The Crux and The Crux Deluxe are available now.

Djo – End of Beginning (Live at Laneway 2025)

The track has passed 2 billion Spotify streams and gone double platinum
The Crux era continues to climb globally

Crooked Fingers Share New Single ‘Haunted’ with Sharon Van Etten

‘Haunted’ moves slowly, like it’s feeling its way forward in the dark.

The new single from Crooked Fingers, featuring Sharon Van Etten, is built around repetition, restraint, and a quiet sense of inevitability. The song unfolds in small, deliberate motions. A steady pulse. A melody that barely shifts. Lyrics that circle the same emotional centre until it starts to feel unavoidable.

A Slow Build That Knows Exactly What It’s Doing

Eric Bachmann’s voice sets the tone early, low and measured, carrying the weight of someone speaking carefully because every word matters. When Van Etten enters, she doesn’t change the direction of the song. She settles into it. Her vocal feels like a second perspective in the same room, sharing the same memory, approaching it from a slightly different angle.

The power of ‘Haunted‘ comes from that shared space.

The Aftermath Is the Point

The lyrics focus on the aftermath. Things said too late. Actions that keep echoing long after the moment has passed. Lines repeat, not for emphasis, but because they won’t loosen their grip.

The phrase “every action and reaction coming after is haunted” becomes a refrain that sinks deeper each time it returns, less like a lyric and more like a realisation you can’t shake.

Silence That Pulls You Closer

Musically, the track stays sparse. Nothing rushes in to fill the gaps. The arrangement leaves room for breath, for tension, for the discomfort that comes with sitting inside unresolved feelings.

It’s a song that trusts silence as much as sound.

A Collaboration Built on Patience

That trust extends to the collaboration itself. Van Etten recorded her vocals remotely, sending takes back and forth with Bachmann until something clicked. You can hear that care in the final version. The performance feels patient. Intentional. Both artists were listening closely to what the song wanted.

Where to Hear It Next

‘Haunted‘ appears on Crooked Fingers’ upcoming album Swet Deth, due February 27 via Merge Records. If this track is any indication, the record is concerned with emotional residue: what lingers, what repeats, and what refuses to settle.

Imprinted Is a Psychological Horror Game That Listens Back

Some horror games chase you.
Some lock you in a room.
Imprinted just sits there, humming quietly, waiting for you to notice what’s wrong. Big time creepin’.

Revealed by European indie studio Cobalt Lane, Imprinted is a slow-burn psychological thriller built around sound, memory, and the creative residue artists leave behind. It’s very deliberately not in a hurry. The game is heading to PC via Steam later in 2026.

If you love analog horror, OS-based storytelling, or games that let atmosphere do the talking, this one feels made to crawl under your skin.

A studio full of echoes and unfinished songs

In Imprinted, you play as Vincent Brandt, a talented but emotionally fried audio engineer brought in to restore lost recordings from Viola Fossati, a mysterious experimental musician who vanished in the 1970s.

At first, the job is straightforward. Clean up damaged tapes. Repair audio. Reassemble fragments.

Then the recordings start pushing back.

What unfolds is not a jump-scare horror experience, but something far more invasive. Through warped tapes, static, and half-finished songs, Vincent begins forming an unsettling connection with Viola. They never meet. They never speak directly. Yet something intimate and obsessive takes root through sound alone.

Cobalt Lane describes it as a ghost story about creativity. Honestly, that tracks.

Sound is the mechanic, not the background

Sound is the toolset, the puzzle, and the narrative spine.

Players will:

Restore corrupted and incomplete recordings from Viola’s archive
Use Vincent’s audio tools to uncover hidden details buried in noise
Piece together unfinished songs and choose what gets brought back to life
Explore a relationship between two artists separated by decades
Experience an original score by award-winning composer Filippo Beck Peccoz alongside ambient and post-folk musician Charlotte Oleena

Creative Director Filippo Beck Peccoz explains the core idea simply and chillingly. Human experience leaves an imprint on everything, including sound.

This one’s for the slow-burn sickos (complimentary)

If you’re into:

Analog horror aesthetics
Games told through artifacts, logs, and recordings
Psychological thrillers that reward patience
Audio-first storytelling that feels personal and invasive

…then Imprinted is very much your flavour of unease.

Sound is the main mechanic
It’s intimate, eerie, and built for players who like their horror subtle and personal
Launches on PC via Steam in 2026 and is wishlistable now

Sometimes the scariest thing isn’t what you hear.
It’s realising the sound is listening back.

LEGO Just Gave the Brick a Brain, and Smart Bricks Are Coming to Star Wars First

By

13 January 2026

LEGO showed up to CES 2026 and did the most LEGO thing imaginable: They made the brick smarter, but still made it feel like a brick.

The company has officially unveiled LEGO SMART Play, a new platform powered by the LEGO SMART Brick, plus SMART Tags and SMART Minifigures. The core promise is simple. Your build can react in real time with sound, light, and context, without turning the whole thing into a screen toy.

LEGO’s Chief Product and Marketing Officer Julia Goldin summed up the intent as expanding the LEGO system rather than replacing it, calling SMART Play “a new dimension” built to slot into the existing system.

And yes, the first wave is LEGO Star Wars, because if anything deserves dramatic sound cues and ship engine roars, it’s an X-Wing.

What are LEGO Smart Bricks, actually?

SMART Play is built around a new internal-tech brick that contains sensors and audio capabilities, and can detect and respond to nearby SMART elements. LEGO says it includes sensors like accelerometers and light sensing, plus a miniature speaker and wireless charging, all hidden inside a form factor designed to work with regular LEGO building.

The big point LEGO keeps hammering is that this is hands-on building first, with tech that stays invisible unless you want it. TechRadar reported the team deliberately avoided screens and power buttons, aiming for something seamless that works across LEGO’s wider system.

One note for the practical-minded: Some coverage suggests the system can receive updates via a mobile app, but the core play does not require a screen while building or playing.

Launch Date and Pre-Orders

LEGO SMART Play launches March 1, 2026, with pre-orders opening January 9, 2026, via LEGO and select retailers in launch markets.

The first SMART Play sets are all Star Wars

LEGO is rolling out SMART Play through three “All-In-One” Star Wars sets, each including at least one SMART Brick and the required SMART Tags and SMART Minifigures.

Here’s the Aussie pricing LEGO has listed for the range so far:

Set	Set Number	Pieces	Age	Price (AUD)	Available
SMART Play: Darth Vader’s TIE Fighter	75421	473	8+	$99.99	Ships from 1 March 2026
SMART Play: Luke’s Red Five X-Wing	75423	584	6+	$149.99	Pre-order, available 1 March 2026
SMART Play: Throne Room Duel & A-Wing	75427	962	9+	$249.99	Pre-order, available 1 March 2026

LEGO’s own examples of “playing back” include lightsaber hums, engine sounds, and even musical moments like ‘The Imperial March’ triggered through character and tag interactions.

75427_Lifestyle_envr

More than a gimmick?

LEGO is positioning SMART Play as one of the most significant evolutions to the system since the minifigure arrived in 1978.

LEGO has reportedly been working on this project for about eight years, waiting until the tech could fit inside a brick and still behave like LEGO.

It feels like LEGO trying to thread a needle: Adding interactivity without turning the whole hobby into another app ecosystem.

Accessibility Snapshot

This is early days, and we’ll know more once sets are widely in homes, but SMART Play has some promising accessibility angles already.

Access need	What SMART Play might help with	Notes
Screen fatigue	No screen built into the brick	LEGO emphasise no screens as a design goal
Low barrier to entry	Physical play first, tech is “invisible”	Designed to be intuitive and integrated
Sensory control	Sounds and lights are the main feedback	Worth checking if volume, intensity, or toggles exist once sets ship
ND-Friendly Play	Short, repeatable interactions	Great for stimming-style repetition and routine play loops

If you’re parenting a sensory-sensitive kid (or you are the sensory-sensitive AFOL, hi), the big question will be control. Volume options, light intensity, and whether features can be dialled down matter just as much as the novelty.

TLDR;

LEGO announced LEGO SMART Play at CES 2026, powered by a new SMART Brick
Builds can respond with sound and light based on play, without screens as the focus
First wave is LEGO Star Wars
Pre-orders open January 9, 2026; release is March 1, 2026
Prices in Australia range from $99.99 to $249.99, depending on the set

If LEGO sticks the landing, SMART Bricks could be the rare kind of tech upgrade that doesn’t kill the magic. It just adds a little more “whoa” when your ship comes to life.

Joe Bonamassa Wraps B.B. King’s Blues Summit 100 With a Final, Heavy-Hitting Preview

If you’re going to honour B.B. King, you don’t do it quietly.

Joe Bonamassa has just released the final preview tracks from B.B. King’s Blues Summit 100, a sprawling, deeply reverent 32-song tribute marking what would have been King’s 100th birthday. Volume V is out now via KTBA Records, ahead of the full album’s release on 6 February 2026. Pre-order available here.

This is a hand-picked, artist-led conversation with B.B. King’s catalogue, built by people who actually live and breathe the blues.

The Final Five: No Fillers, No Weak Links

The last batch of tracks:

‘Three O’Clock Blues’ – feat. Marc Broussard & Josh Smith
‘How Blue Can You Get’ – feat. Warren Haynes
‘Ghetto Woman’ – feat. Ivan Neville
‘Never Make A Move Too Soon’ – feat. Dion
‘When My Heart Beats Like A Hammer’ – feat. Dannielle De Andrea

A Project Rooted in Real History

This album really does hit harder when you know Bonamassa’s own story. B.B. King first took him on tour when Joe was just 12 years old, a formative mentorship that shaped his entire career. Blues Summit 100 might just be a long-overdue thank you.

Produced by Bonamassa and Josh Smith, the project was made with the full support of the B.B. King Estate, and it shows in the care taken with every arrangement.

Esquire has already named it one of the Most Anticipated Albums of 2026, alongside releases from artists who rarely share space with blues records anymore. That alone says a lot.

What’s Still to Come

While Volume V completes the pre-release rollout, the full album will include previously unreleased recordings, including the already-mythic pairing of Eric Clapton and Chaka Khan on ‘The Thrill Is Gone‘.

The full release will be available digitally, as a double CD, and as a 180-gram triple LP vinyl set.

Full 32-track album drops 6 February 2026. Pre-order now.
Features an all-star, cross-generational blues lineup
Built with care, context, and actual respect for the source
This is a tribute done properly

This project is proof that the blues is still a living language, and that B.B. King’s voice hasn’t stopped echoing just because time moved on.

The Real Face of a VTuber Turns Internet Idols Into Prime Suspects

What if the biggest crime scene wasn’t a dark alley or a locked room, but a VTuber studio mid-livestream?

That’s the very cursed and extremely online premise of The Real Face of a VTuber, a new PC murder mystery launching on Steam on January 13, 2026. Developed by Lilien Games and published by WhisperGames, this one chucks together courtroom drama with internet sleuthing in a way that feels very 2026.

A VTuber named Kuripa is murdered while live on air. Oop. Six employees step forward. All six claim to be the person behind the avatar. Only one of them is telling the truth.

Good luck.

Courtroom Drama for the Chronically Online

You play as prosecutor Justin Truth, tasked with unmasking the real culprit by pulling apart alibis, spotting contradictions, and navigating proper courtroom procedure. The game expects you to pay attention, think critically, and commit to your accusations.

Key features include:

A murder mystery rooted in VTuber culture and online identity
Proper courtroom mechanics and structured legal logic
Nonlinear storytelling where you decide who to prosecute
Multiple endings shaped by your deductions
Optional assists for newcomers, with plenty of depth for genre diehards

According to demo stats, only 1.6 per cent of players actually identified the real killer, which is either terrifying or deeply motivating, depending on your brain.

Built With and For the VTuber Community

One of the coolest things here is how closely Lilien Games worked with actual creators. The project involved indie devs behind titles like Aeruta and Minds Beneath Us, as well as VTuber groups such as SpringFish Studio and ReLive Project, plus independent VTuber Nonokuma Bicori.

There are community in-jokes, hidden Easter eggs, and a genuine understanding of how avatars, personas, and parasocial dynamics collide online.

Developer	Lilien Games

Accessibility & Player Notes

While full accessibility specs are still to be confirmed, this is a text-forward, logic-driven experience that may suit players who prefer:

Slower-paced gameplay with pause-friendly mechanics
Reading-based deduction over reflex-heavy action
Optional guidance systems for complex logic chains

If you fatigue easily with long text sessions, pacing your playtime is recommended. The game rewards attention more than speed.

A murder mystery set inside a VTuber studio

If you’ve ever thought, “I could absolutely solve this” while watching a true crime video at 2 am, The Real Face of a VTuber is here to test that confidence.

MIKA Is Taking Hyperlove Back to Where It Started With Intimate UK Record Store Sets

MIKA is celebrating the release of Hyperlove by stripping things right back and heading into UK record stores for a short run of intimate performances and talks this January.

MIKA’s first English-language studio album since 2019 lands on 23 January via Republic Records, and instead of a big glossy launch, he’s opting for something far more personal. A few songs. A piano. And a real conversation about how this album came together.

“This is something I have never done before,” MIKA says. “And I am so excited to do it in the place where it all started for me.”

What These Shows Actually Are (And Why They Matter)

These are stripped-back sets paired with talks, where MIKA walks fans through his writing and recording process, song by song.

Hyperlove began at the piano and stayed there. The entire album was written that way, then built using analogue and vintage gear only, leaning into warmth, imperfection, and emotional messiness rather than polish-for-polish’s sake.

It’s a return to fundamentals.
Voice. Keys. Feeling.
No hiding behind production tricks.

Hyperlove Stripped Back: Dates & Locations

Date	City	Venue
Monday 26 January	Kingston	Banquet Records
Wednesday 28 January	Liverpool	Jacaranda Records
Thursday 29 January	Glasgow	Assai Records SWG3
Friday 30 January	Birmingham	HMV Birmingham

Tickets and album bundles are available directly through the participating record stores, which feels very on-theme for a release like this.

**Why Hyperlove Feels Like a Reset Button**

MIKA has never struggled for scale.
Over 20 million albums sold, chart-toppers in 32 countries, and pop hits that have lived multiple lives since ‘Grace Kelly‘ first exploded in 2007.

What Hyperlove does differently is slow everything down.

Written entirely at the piano and built from analogue sources, the album leans into vulnerability, grit, longing, and flashes of euphoria without smoothing the edges. It’s about craft.

If My Name Is Michael Holbrook felt like a statement, Hyperlove feels like a conversation.

Where to Start

Hyperlove releases 23 January
Tickets and bundles are on sale now via the host record stores

If you’ve ever wanted to hear these songs before they get swallowed by a crowd, this is the moment.

TLDR;

MIKA is celebrating Hyperlove with intimate UK record store shows
Stripped-back performances plus talks about songwriting and recording
Four dates across Kingston, Liverpool, Glasgow, and Birmingham
Album drops 23 January, his first English-language release since 2019

The Intemperate Sons Reimagine Julien-K’s ‘Photo Voltaire’

The Intemperate Sons by Nate Schiefelbein

Some covers are polite nods.
This one feels like a late-night confession shared between bands who speak the same strange, electric language.

The Intemperate Sons have kicked off 2026 with a moody, muscular reworking of Julien-K’s ‘Photo Voltaire‘, released via Frame|Work. It’s dark and industrial, but still unmistakably Sons, grounded in their alternative hard-rock spine and lived-in songwriting.

A Collaboration That Actually Makes Sense

What elevates this release from “cool idea” to oh, let’s pay attention is the involvement of Amir Derakh himself. His production touch and guitar work thread directly through the track, creating a shared space where Julien-K’s synth-driven unease meets The Intemperate Sons’ grit and harmonies.

It’s two creative worlds overlapping for a moment. Respectfully, deliberately, and with purpose.

Who Are The Intemperate Sons (And Why You Should Care)?

Born in Dallas in 2019, The Intemperate Sons are a literal family band. Keith Watson on drums, sons Jake and Max on guitars, vocals and keys, joined by bassist Mark Marks. That shared DNA shows. There’s a tightness and emotional shorthand in their music that can’t be rehearsed into existence.

They’ve already built a solid catalogue with The Color Within (2022) and Dark Day’s Night (2024), working closely with Ryan Shuck and Amir Derakh under the Frame|Work banner. This cover feels like a natural extension of that creative family tree.

Why ‘Photo Voltaire’ Hits Different Here

The original track carries industrial tension and cold atmosphere. The Intemperate Sons lean into that darkness, but add warmth and vocal harmonies that feel almost haunted.

It sits perfectly in the space where post-grunge, industrial rock, and alternative nostalgia quietly overlap.

Billy Morrison and Ozzy Osbourne’s Final Studio Recordings Get a Collector’s Vinyl Send-Off

A new Collector’s Edition 180g picture disc vinyl celebrating the collaboration between Billy Morrison and Ozzy Osbourne is out now. Not only does it look stunning and sound fantastic, but it also preserves Ozzy Osbourne’s final studio recordings in physical form.

Presented by TLG|ZOID and distributed by Virgin Music Group, the limited-edition picture disc is available now online and at independent record stores. It is designed to be framed, displayed, and treasured. Maaaybe nab a spare if you want to actually spin it.

The release brings together two tracks that already loom large in modern rock:

‘Gods of Rock N Roll’, featuring Steve Stevens and a cinematic score by Fred Coury
‘Crack Cocaine’, another blistering collaboration between Morrison, Osbourne, and Stevens

These songs are critically decorated. ‘Gods of Rock N Roll’ landed on Loudwire’s Best Rock Songs of 2025, made Ultimate Classic Rock’s Top 10 Songs of 2025, and was named Wall of Sound’s #1 Song of the Year by senior writer Ranga Gareth Williams. Amazon Music also included it in their Best of Rock 2025 list.

That level of consensus does not happen often.

The final studio chapter of Ozzy Osbourne

What elevates this release beyond prestige lists and chart placements is its context. These two tracks represent the final studio recordings of Ozzy Osbourne. That fact alone turns this picture disc into something closer to an artefact than a merch item.

Billy Morrison has been open about what this collaboration meant to him. The vinyl itself uses photography by Jane Stuart, taken throughout the recording process, and presses those moments directly into the disc. It is rock history you can hold in your hands.

Billy Morrison shares: “I feel so incredibly fortunate to have been able to work with my best friend on those last two songs, CRACK COCAINE and GODS OF ROCK N ROLL, that when the idea of a picture disc vinyl with all the versions on it came up, thanks to my guys at TLG|ZOID, I jumped at the idea. We already had the wonderful cover shots that our photographer, Jane Stuart, had taken throughout the process of both releases, and I remember as a kid just loving the idea of a vinyl record with images on the actual vinyl! It was a no brainer, and a truly wonderful way to close out that chapter with a tip of the hat to Ozzy and the two amazing songs that we did together. I will always be able to watch that video of GODS, when Steve Stevens and I are belly laughing with Ozzy in the studio and hold that close as a treasured memory.”

Why this release matters

Billy Morrison is best known as Billy Idol’s long-time rhythm guitarist, but his recent work has carved out its own legacy. ‘Crack Cocaine’ hit #1 on the Mediabase Active Rock Chart, and The Morrison Project continues to showcase his instinct for collaboration that feels intentional.

This picture disc does not try to modernise Ozzy or mythologise him further. It simply preserves the truth of where he was, who he was working with, and how powerful those final recordings still sound.

TLDR;

A limited-edition Billy Morrison and Ozzy Osbourne picture disc vinyl is out now
Features’ Gods of Rock N Roll’ and ‘Crack Cocaine’
These are Ozzy Osbourne’s final studio recordings
Designed as a display-worthy collector’s piece
