For a soundscape made up primarily of voices & a uniquely thick, organic big beat, Shadows Fade is a surprisingly atmospheric piece of music & writing that’s an easy joy to listen to.

Poetic songs of deep thought, self doubt & reflections on modern life make-up the playlist for Jeffrey Dallet’s album Abnormal Oddities. What pours through is a folk-rock explosion of melodies & upbeat energy.
Muntu Valdo brings a totally vast range of influences to his music, or to put it differently, he offers something distinctly original that rings true to his own experiences & artistry.
It’s not all that often I’m blown away by how uniquely unexpected an artist’s sound is. Perhaps it’s that Can’t Buy Love was the opener – a brilliant song, gorgeously atmospheric, openly sentimental, funky & quirky in a subtle but cool way.
Sam Xhri6 is an artist whose sound fits beautifully into the modern RnB-pop-fusion world as well as offering a distinct level of character & freshness that really helps this latest single shine brightly.
An incredible songwriter, this album underlines that in a professionally crisp & consistently interesting way. Easily up there with the best releases of 2018 so far.
A great introduction to his sound. Ace Maddog has stated that his injuries sustained from a gun shot, as detailed in the song, have driven him to work even harder for his art – meaning there’s a lot more to come.
Radio Drive’s recently released project is one that brings a bright & emotionally open collection of songs that seem to float somewhere between indie-pop & the more classic rock sounds of the 70’s.
Jaime Mansilla is a renowned violinist & recording artist who has performed concerts in 30 different countries, in some of the best concert halls of the world. His experience is unquestionable as you listen to these releases, beginning with the iconic Figaro.
High energy, high shock factor, as well as being creatively free from anything predictable or common. At the same time, the melody, the synths, the development of the soundscape – it all works hard to build around you something that’s quickly familiar.
King Size Slim’s live performances are in a league of their own entirely. Milk Drunk is a stand out clip from his recent 2Seas Session, and to say his performance captivates is a pretty drastic understatement.
PMKS’ present yet another new release this month with their version of David Bowie’s Heroes – re-imagined in this case as a pro gun control anthem.
