Because dogs...
Well, mostly. Following an up and coming artist on instagram could be the most rewarding thing you'll do all week. Not only are they not heavily monitored by a Beyonce-sized 'team', they're still excited about free stuff, big crowds and willing to use many emojis. Step into the visual world of new music.

Being an up and coming artist just ain't what it used to be. Snaps of Chanel bags, Paris and magazine covers make up BANKS’ jealousy-inducing collection. It’s unlikely to provide many LOLs but the girl knows how to dress and thus gathers a beautiful bunch of pics. Kids; sex, drugs and rock & roll is a thing of the past.
@mykkiblanco
At the time of writing, rapper Mykki Blanco has just been arrested in Portugal for allegedly “being gay”. Most likely driven by that, there’s a pic reading “How to heal yourself from everyday psychic poisons or repentance for dummies”. Yep, following this account is an emotional rollercoaster. One minute you’re reading that and the next you’re looking at lavish gardens or scallops. Hard to pin down, yes, but there’s no denying Blanco is a fascinating human-being.
@oscarkeysung
Oscar Key Sung may be Australia’s first man of RnB. And to match he’s got a suitably 90s inspired Instagram back-catalogue. You’ll find everything here to satisfy your nostalgia including plenty of colour, Tonka trucks and a particularly badass picture of a cat. And then some more pictures of black cats.
@cashmerecat
Don’t let this Norwegian DJs name fool you. This instagram is all about dogs. A ridiculously good-looking pug is the star of this account as he gives sad, happy and sleepy expressions that would make any man melt. And there’s cool pictures of the studio and the world and shit but the main point you should take away from this is dogs.
@liz_y2k
If Cashmere Cat doesn’t satisfy your penchant for dogs then this is the next place to look. Mad Decent artist, Liz loves the puppies and when she’s not looking like she’s just survived the Millenium Bug with Charli XCX she’s posing with her dog. Her dogs Chloe and Jack willfully agree to ridiculous costumes, christmas frames and filters all-the-while raking in the likes. If that doesn’t do it for you, Liz also rocks a pair of sunnies and a hat like no other.
@heemsworth
Completing our trio of dog appreciation instagrams is Canadian producer, Ryan Hemsworth. For those confused, Hemsworth even tags it ‘dog’ to avoid any misconceptions. Aside from dogs, there is also a plethora of Pokemon-related shots as well as one cheeky questionable bum shot. If none of that takes your fancy, he makes some swell remixes which are easily accessed from the insty.
@justsza
This is one of those “I’ll follow her because she’s cool and I want to be her” things. The RnB singer who’s just released her debut album, Z, is a cool cat who rocks double buns, sandals with socks and fluoro sneakers. You’ll want to try it yourself, but don’t. Just look.
@dillonfrancis
This Diplo prodigy is the master of LOLs. Whether he’s Trever on pingaz or the super smooth Greg, the man’s a barrel of fun. It’s probably the most ironic/sarcastic collection of videos and snaps that you’ll come across but that’s the alluring factor. For a man in a genre that has become increasingly serious, he’s proof that there’s still DJs on this earth up for a giggle or two.
