Sniffing out the best new music
We end the day with a really nice and chilled tune coming out of LA this week from Stevie Ray. Nothing But Love features vocals from Kristina Urgel and a verse from J.Lately.

Coming out of Hackney Wick Studios, we have unearthed a hauntingly peaceful song from downtempo Indie duo Aquilo. This song fell onto my lap via SubmitHub this morning and totally blew me away. After looking through their impressive back catalog and collaborations, it's utterly bizarre how I had never heard of them until now. In... Continue Reading →
Here is a nice track from Joe James Lewis to perk you all up. Today, I hit a pretty big personal milestone - I finished the draft of my first full ghostwritten autobiography.

Michael Baker's second studio album entitled, 'Salt', was released last month. As we listened through it we stumbled upon a little gem of a thing called 'Baby Books' nestled in the middle of the collection.
