Discover the latest standout artists on RepostExchange, where we’ve gathered some of the freshest sounds from across the globe as recommended by the Re-Ex community! This week, we dive into the sounds of SpukSchreibMaschine, Ketacat, and Tony Matthew, three artists making waves on SoundCloud and beyond.
Ketacat has been dropping banger after banger, having even been featured on our monthly new music podcast after we found them on Instagram. Developing a sound akin to early noughties R&B with warm minor chords which cushion the fury rumbling below. On latest track ‘Lied to me’, Ketacat says it “describes a friendship I had with someone I thought was real, but turned out to be fake. She was the kind of person to be sweet and nice when you talk to her but behind your back, she'd just smack talk 🫣It felt so easy riding on the beat cuz I do best when I’m mad”.
The honeyed tones in their voice are elevated by sugar-sweet vocal processing and call-back harmonies. ‘Lied to me’ was produced by andrzxz and is the latest track coming from this new artist who is definitely one to watch.

Nestled in the north of England is SpukSchreibMachine, who you may recognise for regularly topping the Re-Ex charts with their whimsical brand of indie pop. Find sixties melodies nestled with smooth harmonies, particularly in their 2024 album ‘Blood Orange’. On track ‘Says a Lot’, the lyrics “I know that I'm a dickhead in the drink. I know I'm only made of what they think” belie the laidback and easy listening vibes gently strumming out of my speakers.
SpukScheibMaschine translates into English as ‘Ghost Typewriter’, which seems a fitting tribute given their carefully produced tunes of nostalgia. If you want to know what a sunny day sounds like, give them a spin - you won’t be disappointed.

Tony Matthew, is a DJ and producer based in Italy and the U.K. Having released dance music since 2022, Matthews has been lighting up the dance floor with tracks like ‘Life’, ‘Jumping Skyward’, and ‘Smile’.
In latest track ‘Focus’, Matthews blends industrial sounds with a killer groove driving this pulsating techno track. The glitchy percussion sounds fresh, momentarily dropping out against distorted vocal snippets and metallic scrapes before bursting back into life with rippling pulses and stabs of vocal colour. As the track unfolds, layers of warm keys shine through adding a moment of uplift, like sunlight spilling onto the dance floor after a storm.
