[Video] Jhene Aiko & Sampha Perform at Future Festival
BBC Radio 1 has been celebrating its Future Festival with a series of inspired performances from some of the tope rising acts across the music landscape and yesterday had Jhene Aiko & Sampha perform as part of the event. Aiko, whose performance followed appearances this week on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and Saturday Night Live, gave the audience a live rendition of her song, "The Worst". Playing on the ominous Drake theme in the room (both artists appear on Nothing Was The Same), Sampha took over to perform his sonically endearing song, "Too Much". Check out both performances, streaming live below.

[Video] Perera Elsewhere: "Bizarre"
It's always time for a little change of pace and today it comes to us via London/Berlin artist Perera Elsewhere. The newest signee to Friends of Friends, Perera released the aptly-named "Bizarre" on Gorilla Vs Bear to critical review and had been gaining traction since releasing the accompanying EP, Bizarre earlier this summer. The subtle, almost eeriness of the song is somewhat entrancing and can keep you hooked, not to mention the visual parade that takes place in the video itself. Check it out below and pick up Perera Elsewhere's album, Everlast, out October 28.
