LA-ready in its summer style and 21st century concept, Tootie’s Lifestyle accesses the confidence and bragging rights of the contemporary hip hop scene, whilst throwing in an offbeat reggae rhythm and an admittedly impressive vocal flow during the verses.
Accessing precisely the emotional energy implied by its title, Nightbird Casino’s Catharsis Train takes its time to wrap around listeners with a delicately organic yet still dreamlike and calming musicality.

Stunning riffs, impeccable musicianship, provocative thinking – from a band who never fail to maintain a level of artistic integrity & realness.
Conscious rap with a freestyle-esque progression and a creatively refreshing musicality. Ideas that have never been more relevant, intertwined with a clear level of personal identity & intention.
Fantastic song-writing, fresh & engaging, easily memorable. Hopefully this is a strong indication of what we can look forward to from Jon Omen as the months & years go by.
Beautifully heartfelt, complex & open, loaded with vulnerability & struggle, confidence & uncertainty – the writing is powerful, and the sound is on point being both artistic & modern by design.
A musical beauty – organic guitars, acoustic world vibes with a classic clap for a rhythm, rising up into electronic realms for a fully immersive journey.
Tipping its hat to the pop-rock sound of the nineties – and, in hindsight, the retro artwork playing a similar card – Bitch Boy is a catchy number with surprisingly heartfelt, genuine verses to it.
That tribal, world-music core shines more brightly as things progress, the song enveloping listeners in this growing sense of brightness and energy – perfectly encapsulating the concept of oneness and co-existence in a wholly artistic manner.
Australia’s echolily takes the time to craft something immersive and meaningful with this latest, engaging and impressively cinematic new release.
