Sniffing out the best new music
Gold from Sydney based Australian artist Jessica Nitties AKA 'Sparrows' - uplifting stuff to say the least. This was my first tune I've found through The Hype Machine and I'm extremely glad I persevered on my search through the heaps of stuff on that platform. 'Do you wanna Dance' opens with an intriguing, brooding and... Continue Reading →
It's been a while since I've put a pure house groover up on the site. Locked Groove, the German producer, has forced my hand this time with his brilliant piano led oldschool house hit 'Do Not Freak'. It would be rude to bypass this little gem which is nestled in his new album 'Sunset Service'.... Continue Reading →
As first releases go, this is fairly damn solid! What is going on here? This tune from Augustine is an instant earworm - it is very very unique from the offset. This is possibly one of the best songs I’ve stumbled across by chance in 2019, no doubt. The production here is second to none... Continue Reading →
Dutch lads ‘Stuart Mavis’ have been firmly on my radar since I saw them play back in 2017 at Eurosonic Festival in Groningen. At the time, I was one hundred percent sure that their self-titled debut album would be a huge hit for them. The sound that these guys produce is absolutely superb and I’m... Continue Reading →
We have featured Marcus Worgull on this site back in the summer last year when we covered his release ‘Skango’. We are back lurking on him again sharing a cover of The Cure’s Love Song with Fink on the words. This fella hails from Cologne in Germany and is a stalwart on Dixon’s prolific record label...

Completely Lekker Lekker here from Berlin-based Dubliners Ian McDonnell and Dara Smith (Lakker). What type of sorcery is this? 'A Whisper In Your Ear' is the end product, in my opinion, of their decade of working together on their own genre the aptly named - Techno not Techno. Not all will be into this one...

As soon as I heard the opening guitar melody here, I instantly thought Bombino’s vocals were going to announce themselves - they didn’t! This guitar funk number isn’t the Saharan guitar master at work, it’s Englishman Stephen Wilkinson AKA Bibio at the helm here. If ever there was a summer sounding song - I would... Continue Reading →
We know Jono McCleery from his appearances with Maribou State on their debut album Portraits. This time he is collaborating with Polish house duo 'Catz n Dogz' and it's not half bad! This is ripping from the Polish lads new 15 song album titled 'Friendship' released on Pets Recordings 29/3/19. I'm sitting out in my... Continue Reading →
This young Londoner is well regarded on the music scene over here in the UK. She made it into the BBC's longlist for Sound of 2018 and her 2017 tour was an absolute hit. Yanya, who is of Turkish descent, has all the traits any budding music star needs - shes likable, young and has... Continue Reading →
Hailing from Galloway, in the South-West of Scotland, these two mates Stuart Ramage and Roan Ballintine are doing rightly these days! I came into contact with them recently and enjoyed their take on commercially based music. It was 'Positive' I heard a few months ago and I put them on the backburner in lieu of... Continue Reading →
