Sniffing out the best new music
This is some gold taken from my personal submissions pool! There are belters everywhere if you search in the right nooks and crannies. I'm pretty sure that I have never come accross a band name as long and twisty as this before. It's like a electronically compiled slab of words from the old reliable band... Continue Reading →
Yet another great LA act here, this time it's duo Soft Streak who are producing the goods and their follow-up to the acclaimed Ride has me swaying around the house. The bouncy mood brought on by the slick guitar riff during the chorus is fairly infectious. Reasonable Lie is a tune you will definitely do... Continue Reading →
A few notches need to be taken down on the lighting when listening to this new one from Los Angeles indie folk artist Gary Kazazian. This is a really deeply beautiful piece from this highly gifted songwriter. The Sound Sniffer is going a couple of years now yet it gave me shivers when a tune... Continue Reading →

Bristol is our next port of call for a pensive piece from experimental electronic act Hallelugenia. This is a more serious, darker composition but it's highly effective in it's construction. The song starts with well pitched groaning opening vocals over some throwback keyboard work. The whole song is then elevated nicely with those clear, almost... Continue Reading →
Some brilliant rhythm coming out of Johannesburg, South Africa again here from Black Kind & Mixas SA with a feature from Kwelia Majosi. Another high octane African popular release here and it's on repeat here. Shona Phantsi is a brilliant track - it sounds as if it's cross between the Shimza - Selector house beat...

I put this one on the back burner last night and had a re-listen this evening, yes, I was right, it is quite the mellow tune indeed. Sister Ivy is a Jazz Soul outfit from North Carolina with a nice and chilled out vibe going on, which gets my support. The languid style of lead... Continue Reading →
Another house belter to share with you on this electronically themed Monday - we bring you a track with some brilliant sampling. A great rolling rhythm coupled with a glitchy cartoon video playing in the background, how could anyone dislike this new heavy house track from young UK duo Puppet Dance. The tune sets out...

I shared Ian DPM‘s solo release ‘Lip Service‘ up on this site a few months ago. I thought his progressive style was immense and it’s startlingly clear that this fella has a very simular taste in music to me. I loved how track developed in a controlled and patient manner and gave me the dark... Continue Reading →
