Good vibes are the beating heart of Randy Sanderson’s original dance tracks. The idea is to bring joy, positivity, optimism – to let people feel truly free from the weight of the world for a while, and that’s precisely what you get from this entire catalogue of music.
Producer
New music from the distinct indie corner of organic production that is Willie Alex – Leave Me Or Love Me builds up a secure and recognisable sense of identity, with a selection of layers that feel like both an alternative electronic loop and a live indie rock performance.
Noting years of commitment to making music with authenticity and from the ground up, Willie Alex is a producer with a refreshing realism to his sound. The music is genuine, real, man-made, and that creativity and heart can never be faked. This one consumes you as it pours through the airwaves.
As the industry continues to force-feed us uncomfortably seamless tracks, largely lacking the humanity of talent and imperfection, the underground thankfully continues to strengthen its presence at the very same time. Industrial alternative producers and artists like Willie Alex are confidently taking the reigns, and the music speaks for itself.
Big vibes unite the festival ska set-up and modern production tools, as GhostWriterStevie delivers his catchiest jam yet, with the huge celebratory anthem My Distorted Mind.
Evocative and poignant songwriting intertwined with the precision and escapism of finely-crafted trance – Blip Onskrine explores the weight of technology and the rat-race, with the enchanting dynamic and addictive depth of Overtime Ghosts.
Seamless production from the trustworthy corner of Psyborg – a dreamy summer house jam that’s soothing to lose yourself within. Daydreaming unites gentle layers of female voice, with hazy keys, synths, and a classic lounge groove, to bring us hypnotically into the new season.
Something precise yet ambient – an interesting fusion of retro electronic tones and those that sweep through the space like summertime EDM; all with a female lead that’s breathy to impassioned. John Paolo captures the energy and escapism of longer days, with the intoxicating single Lost In You.
Heartfelt integrity through a stripped-back, evocative acoustic realm. Piano and vocals simply paired, melody and emotion intertwined for something raw, real, and compelling. AD9 starts up an engaging and memorable EP, with the beautifully moving hip hop and RnB-fusing gem Sticking It Out.
Fiercely original high-octane escapism, conceptually provocative and organically crafted industrial beats – no_hope.tor is the gripping new EP from well-received creative producer ^L_, and it’s one of the most engaging and impactful projects to emerge this season.
Cool tribal hand rhythms and a programmed kick lay down a unique foundational beat, as Marco Palmieri presents the melodic ethereal tones and escapism of an aptly-titled Explorer.
As the romantic journey gathers momentum, so too does the performance and musical euphoria, making this a personal but accessible love song for modern listeners across the board – the ‘our song’ of the current indie realm, ready and waiting.
