El Viaje showcases a sense of cinematic awareness, cleverly blending thoughtful attention to detail with a clearly intentional underlying energy that wholly and boldly represents each changing stage of the journey.
Kicking off his latest instrumental with a poignant and cutting monologue regarding gun crime in black communities, Chill-E Sliphop introduces himself as a notably creative, deeply thoughtful, and undeniably professional producer.
Deuce in full is gorgeously eclectic, and absolutely worth letting play three or four times over – the journey doesn’t grow tiresome, the arrangement is on point, and the playing is so uninhibited and openly creative.
The self-penned unconventional producer and one-man-band Rafi Bar emerges in 2020 with an EP of original soundscapes that push creative boundaries in subtle yet satisfying ways.
A little research unveils that music incorporating 432Hz may have healing properties. I know that I feel better for having listened to something so accomplished, undeniably moving and simply gorgeous.
Alternative rock composition and live performance unite for this uniquely conceptually, deeply artistic and impossible to ignore album from Michigan’s Tiny Tree. Embolism is a project with meaning, depth, and an insatiable thirst for expressing the inexpressible.
The way the music slowly but surely sweeps you off your feet is a finely tuned craft that’s been absolutely mastered here.

This global spirituality seeks to make us all realise our oneness, our unity as life itself, and this composition plays a stunning role in drawing focus towards that.
There’s a dreamlike, natural-world quality to the entire arrangement. It’s a busy set-up, but it doesn’t feel that way – the in-the-moment jam session presents a level of unity, which lends its oneness to the listener from afar.
