There’s an exotic vocal flavour, alongside these sci-fi soundwaves and notes, and this creates a sense of rising enchantment that only grows stronger throughout the near-fourteen-minute journey. The song features a mutated version of the riff from Ghost Rider, by Suicide, and is a welcomed alternative to the more traditionally structured electronic tracks that seem so simple and rather predictable these days.

Fallout is ideal as a starting point, a trap rhythm and dreamy keys and synths laying down a haunting, thoughtful aura, as the beat follows a mellow stop-and-start arrangement that naturally gets the mind wandering. The style is cinematic, finely built, with central melodies that feel fresh, and a kind of impending intensity that always lingers amidst these panned, sweeping sounds and effects.
Sensational indie jams, slick guitar playing and soulful grooves – summer-night saxophone and a generally impressive fusion of excitement and colourful calm. Ununk delivers the goods in strong supply, with an instrumental playlist designed to both uplift and entertain audiences, as well as show off some incredibly handy-seeming musicianship at the helm.
From the Riverside EP of gorgeous instrumental originals, Serbian guitarist and musician Zarko delivers a crisp and captivating acoustic composition, for the wonderfully impressive and moving Vilino Vrelo.
Music made for visual media, a careful combination of cinematic, classical and playful melodies and arrangements, built out of hybrid orchestral sounds and synths. Toby Tune captures a creative edge that’s artistic and intriguing, for ELEMENTS OF SUBSTANCE.

On those occasions when we’re gifted the experience of something truly purposeful and moving in art and music, may we seize the opportunity entirely, to speak with truthful enthusiasm, passion, and promise.

In defining the process or purpose of this album, Stewart Lane notes that ‘each piece traces the build-up to ecstatic release’. This is something you can hear and feel throughout these seven compositions, a unique and gentle progression, growing and culminating in some huge emotional presence and weight, suddenly peaking, and then being relieved or lifted away.
Another call out to please, please draw your focus to the authentic artists, musicians and composers at this time – those who make music from their own fusion of qualities driven by the heart and mind united. The organic, the honest, and often – the unplugged.
Guitarist and producer Davide Rizzo lets pure creativity drive – arranging original compositions around dreamy guitar tones, light rhythms, and a genre-free kind of playfulness that’s endearing, and a pleasure to let play.
Impressive playing but modestly presented, a track reliant on groove and melody, vibe and intention, rather than simply showing off. Italy’s Dark Aries Project engage and energise, with the slick instrumental metal appeal of Save The Number 66.
Fearlessly taking modern music fans down a dark, intense and impressively creative new pathway, drummer Lior Izhaki (of The Takeoff Band) collaborates with guitarist Guy Shemi, for an unexpectedly ambient, juxtaposed explosion and subsequent enchantment of intoxicating sounds.
