From the immediate appeal of fast-paced yet catchy melodic sound-play, through carefully programmed rhythms, colours, keys and synths, The Music Masters build up an immersive realm of electro-organic escapism.

The more you listen, the more you hear. A welcomed touch of aptly titled Radical Reality, just when we need it.
Stylishly dreamy production injects a creative edge into the lo-fi rhythms of the contemporary scene, and meanwhile we get a blissfully delicate, soulful vocal lead of RnB tendencies.
Retro synths and smooth vocals light up the new trap-pop anthem from Cush Wallace.
Introducing a vastly unique realm, within which electronic dreams awaken unsuspecting parts of the mind – producer and artist notevenstevens shakes up the production world with the dark and intensely immersive project Chains.
Songwriting on top form, riffs at their best, rhythm relentlessly gripping – an explosive start to an extensive, purposeful album.

Sublime good vibes and deeply moving, intelligently framed lyrics introduce this new single from rapper and artist Mahogany Jones in an unforgettable way.
Classic pop-rock with a twist of electro sound-play and a clear personal touch – Cing offers a fresh take on the love song format, with It Is So.
