Sniffing out the best new music
Welcome to our Friday night episode of The Sound Sniffer's Lockdown Mixtape - the feature that, by the looks of it, will carry on forever and ever. This episode is an especially high quality affair - many of the songs displayed here are the tip of what 2021 has had to offer on SubmitHub thus... Continue Reading →
London's folk specialist Alex Bayly moves into 2021 with a lovely new collection of songs to share. Following on from his debut album 'Ley Lines' last year, this bank of four is a welcome addition to his increasing portfolio of impressive and dreamy soundscapes.

Since the turn of the year, I've found it hard to get back into the swing of the blogging again. For some reason my passionate, obsessive and rambling writing zone has been harder to access. In saying this, there has been an extortionate amount of songs submitted through the inbox. The show must go on... Continue Reading →

It's Friday, release day in the robotic, groundhog day life of the Spotify circus. The perk of a Friday is, of course, the wealth of new releases for me to babble about. Been holding onto a few of these tracks for a couple of weeks and I'm glad to be able to share them this... Continue Reading →
I was a bit late drafting up today's mixtape - a mixture of excercise and cooking has pushed me off schedule today. A couple of nights ago, I enlisted the help of a couple of facebook music groups, asking them for submissions - I received over six hundred responses. Hopefully I'll be able to unearth...

After yesterday's Outlaw Ocean selections, The Sound Sniffer's Lockdown Mixtape returns for episode six. After a fine weekend weather wise, the heavens finally opened again last night, dampening the surface and probably people's spirits too.
