Last week I had the pleasure of chatting to Anchorage, Alaskaโs Quinn Christopherson! He is one of my favourite new musicians and it was a really exciting thing to catch up with him (albeit virtually, over Skype). It was the deep impacting 'Raedeen' single that put me onto his sound initially and I knew that... Continue Reading →
Forty Days Locked in – A Few Words and A Few New Tunes
Today has been a weird day! I woke up to the striking and bizarre news that Donald Trump is advocating doctors to trial his idea of injecting disinfectant, to treat COVID19. We all would be forgiven for lying back down, putting the covers over our heads and praying for better times. It really is a... Continue Reading →
New Single Review | Sun Shy Boy – Color of Home
Happy Monday everyone. It feels like years since we were allowed out of the house. This is the perfect time to change old habits and take up those passion projects that real-life commitments infringed on. What I have found out recently is that I enjoy walking, I don't enjoy running and that going to the... Continue Reading →
Electronic Music Genre| Crate Digging #08
I was thinking of scrapping these electronic crate digs during the week. I have already overturned this brainwave and here is the 8th edition. I just can't escape the fact that I love downtempo electronic music! I really enjoy finding the best and most hidden gems every Friday. I will keep going with this for... Continue Reading →
New Single Release | North London Trio ‘DAAY’ Release their Debut Single
DAAY are a new outfit formed in 2019 by Alex Barty-King. They have just released their debut single 'Mama' - it is top notch. A good song usually catches some sort of a hold on me after 20/25 seconds. I am a fiend for all things quirky and unique, this one fit the bill. After... Continue Reading →
INTRODUCING Margate Based Indie Rocker CONRAD DEADLY
My second Margate, Kent based review of the year comes from the quirky Conrad Deadly. Conrad follows Fat White Family's, Dan Lyons, onto the site representing the small scenic seaside town. This is Deadly's debut single titled 'Sally Lives in my Girls Yard' and it ripples away nicely in a rugged and catchy manner. The... Continue Reading →
Single Review | Stevie Ray – Nothing But Love
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. I haven't listened to rap in a ridiculously long time. Listening to G-Unit and Flipmode Squad when I was a pup was... Continue Reading →
Single Review | Paddy Dennehy – Abednego | New Irish Music
Its been a little while since I dipped my toe in some new Irish music. The problem with being based over in London is that I feel obliged to support London based musicians for the growth of the brand. Recently, finding music from my own homeland has been put on the back-burner. I'll will nip... Continue Reading →
Joy Crookes / Anyone But Me
Written by Niamh Katherine Downes The trademark effect of Joy Crookesโ music for me is that it transports me to a fairly small and completely empty room, where the lady herself is stood, singing directly on front of me and looking firmly into my eyes while she does it. Joy Crookes is never one to... Continue Reading →
