CaliStar has mastered a handful of styles within this short project, yet manages to hold onto a clear sense of identity and integrity along the way. Well-worth a few streams this summer.
EPs
Recently released as a deluxe version with 11 tracks in total, Homebound features the likes of an infectious and impressive Overtime, and proceeds to keep things stylish and versatile throughout.
These qualities essentially blend professionalism, skill, and an unapologetic love for the playfulness of composition, and they stand tall throughout Acid Funk’s repertoire.
Designed from a place of humility and intricate skill, the EP Spires Of Ulduar celebrates the ambient escapism of the finely-crafted, deep techno realm.
Bridging the gap between timeless Techno and House threads of escapism, and the more contemporary freedom of composition that is these warped fragments of voice, synth and intention, SolarPulse hits the scene with authenticity and heart.
Instantly calming for its crisp guitar line and smooth bass and beat combination, Blood In – Blood Out soon makes sure to weave in an increasing level of personality.
Bringing things to a finish is a catchy stomp of a blues-rock anthem, a little Johnny Cash-like for one final twist of influence from across rock and folk’s history…
Where delicacy was essential in conveying the gratitude and oneness of the opening song, boldness and rhythm and volume are key aspects of raising the bar for I Dare You, and in both cases D’Alessio executes faultlessly.
Smooth vibes bring catchy hooks and clean, organic production, to kick off the infectious and instantly likable new EP from Habibi Bapo.
Refreshingly original hip hop emerges with style and intention, as swizz tLc creatively introduces the three-track EP Traumatized.
Slick rhythms and classic rock guitars kick off the crisp yet nostalgic embrace of this new EP from imaginative songwriters The Lost Millions.
Bad Bubble forever balances a sense of cinematic vastness with that of quiet contemplation. It’s an ambient realm, meditative to a degree, but it’s also an arena-ready indie anthem that aches to be witnessed in a huge and mildly-reverberating setting.
