Original cinematic rock instrumentals from a UK guitarist and composer noting a subtle blend of influences amidst the likes of Gary Moore and Santana.

Guitarist
Named after the unifying of three leading instruments – Mridangam, Handpan, and Guitar, Mridhangit is a uniquely enchanting instrumental project, which begins with a captivating blend of funk-kissed euphoric western rock and metal brilliance, in the form of the unmissable composition Mr. Sinister.
Omer B is a passionate and consistently hard-working creative guitarist, whose skill is always matched by his love for playing, and this quality shines beautifully throughout the evolution and growing passion and power of Bending Time. The track is mildly psychedelic during its latter half peak, and the guitar solo presents a powerful shift from the familiar dynamic, to gift listeners a clear moment of captivating escapism that’s both impressive and moving.
Introducing an alluring and refreshingly human, real-time guitar composition – a creative work effectively fusing Tango and instrumental rock, from a renowned independent guitarist, whose music is rightfully rising up through the ranks.
Indie rock guitarist and songwriter Jake Vera brings uniquely moving vocals and sentiments to the scene, with the intimate to explosive, all-consuming new album Lost.
Good songwriting stands tall, something authentic and well-built – a strong acoustic backdrop, a lush groove and lush vocals, a sense of meaning at its core. Wyoki delivers an alternative earworm on that front, with the strangely enthralling, imperfect but beautifully addictive Hotel.
My biggest ambition is to create music that feels like a refuge, something people can step into and feel completely safe, understood, and connected. I don’t just want to release songs; I want to build experiences that stay with people, moments that can offer them peace or strength when they need it most.
Where much of modern music feels the need to fill every moment with sound and noise and something attention grabbing, this project offers creativity and sound the time and space to breathe, and in doing so, offers its audience the same kind of serenity and intrigue.
Introducing a beautifully unmistakable, instrumental love song – a clear melodic gem from his catalogue, and a fine ode to both the skill of the player and the emotional intentions of his work – guitarist and composer Joe Hodgson releases the highly-anticipated, guitar-led single You I Think Of.
Guitarist and composer Hear The Colors – an artist with a defiantly unique approach to crafting audio soundscapes and other-worldly ventures that consume audiences – delivers a profound and powerful instrumental album this year, with the magnetic and mighty Rebirth.
Also included in the double a-side release is a rather phenomenal track called Shapeshifting, a follow-up that takes a completely different approach, immediately highlighting the fast-fingers and masterful fretboard exploration of guitarist Joe Hodgson in a mesmerising fashion.
Stunning instrumental guitar music, aptly designed to create an immersive space for listeners – an impressively rooted one, but focused on that ambient connection above anything purely self-indulgent.
