I have been listening to music since I can remember: every genre, every artist, every edgy and niche subculture.
I am a great listener: I take pride in discovering unheard gems, trying to connect with their authors.
It never gets old, really… somehow, music keeps hypnotising us, surprising us, always, always offering something new. Must be some sort of magic.
At the beginning of this year, Liverpool-based four-piece RISE put out a rather exceptional EP titled ‘Memories And Possibilities’. Recorded at Whitewood Studios in their hometown and produced by Rob Whiteley (Kill The Young), the goal was to capture the band’s live show energy – an undeniably achieved feat! Track five off the EP is […]
‘Moonshot’ is quickly becoming one of my favourite tunes of the year so far, and that’s not a compliment I dish out lightly. Courtesy of Helsinki-based indie rockers Shakals, the danceable yet mellow indie rock masterpiece was written when the band took a creative trip to Malaga, Spain last summer. A track about staying the […]
Dreams of Delvaux entered my musical sphere last year when I came across their enchanting and multi-faceted debut EP ‘Air Without Gravity’. The Staffordshire-based electronic duo of Jon Aldersea and Rachel Poole completely blew me away, and I am now extremely excited to introduce you to their first full-length album ‘Shade Mystique’. With an intense […]
From his work with Alabama Shakes guitarist Heath Fogg to his ridiculously beautiful previous single ‘The In-Betweens’, Colin Woltmann is a singer/songwriter who has truly piqued my interest. I’ve recently been getting seriously into his debut album ‘Brown Recluse’ from 2021, but today I’d like to introduce you to the Alabama-based artist’s brand new tune […]
Packed with introspective lyricism and fragile poignancy, ‘Moai’ is the kind of single that reeks of reckoning and change, perhaps written as a musical catharsis over troubled past experiences. Penned by London-based creative V?k, the track draws from his Italian heritage, featuring Italian lyricism which sounds very malleable and evocative to an English ear. Because […]
Always drawn to music, Steve Contino presents an origin story we have heard a lot in the past few years. He’s never considered releasing music until the pandemic hit. Suddenly, an urge to express himself, a push to be creative arose from an already fertile soul. Contino used such a force to write songs and […]
We recently featured TATE SEDAR with one of his remixes; well, this time around we’ll delve into his original catalogue, something that’s always evolving and refining its identity. Famous for EDM tropes and mainroom bangers, the American DJ and producer now jumps into electro-funk and chill territories, birthing a record that’s bright, groovy and uplifting, […]
We firmly believe in Yodashe’s experimental approach. Not confining her artistry to instrumental extravaganza, the talented creative incorporates a healthy amount of mangled vocal stylings, supercharging her records with cathartic, evocative energy and exhibiting an impressive futuristic character. ‘EASTER’ is the perfect evidence of that. The project’s latest effort, the single is an absolute anthem […]
Continuing on his artistic journey, London songster Andre Smythe seems to have found the fountain of creativity. Showcasing his nuanced songwriting flair over a series of relatable and friendly pop gems – some of which we featured in the past – the talented musician now unveils a further single, ‘Don’t Be a Fool’, taken from […]
Wow! ‘Take What You Need’ is such a strong record! Introduced by a gritty working man distortion, the track then erupts into a full-on, hard-hitting grunge-y masterpiece. Laden with charismatic vocals and meaningful lyricism, the record is a proper stadium banger. Although Paper Daisies are not playing in big arenas yet, that’s exactly where they […]
While on the surface she might appear as your run-on-the-mill pop runner-up, at a closer look Beth Brandy will positively impress the listener, offering uplifting, electrifying and luscious material with an extraordinary degree of relatability and charisma. While it is not easy to be a relevant player in the commercial landscape these days, Brandy crushes […]
