Another six months has passed and it's been jam packed with great new music. It is always hard doing lists like this but everyone always has those stand out tunes! With over a thousand artist submissions sent my way and millions of hours of searching- this is the list of ten that makes The Sound... Continue Reading →
Pampa Records never ever disappoints I don't think. Anything sanctioned by DJ Koze seems to be blissful in nature! Here we have East German circuit legend Wruhme with a beautiful ambient composition . Mellow to the max - this 44 year old is churning out great sounds still, almost 15 years since his debut album...

Very nicely assembled synth-pop stuff here from French artist Clément Froissart. This is his new solo project as he splinters from his band 'Concorde'.

It would be rude to bypass this little gem which is nestled in his new album 'Sunset Service'.... Continue Reading →

'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...

This lad broke through a good few years ago with some pure class reworks using samples of well known chart hits. Songs like 'Drowning in You' and 'Cheated' were tunes I used to play in my shed with the gang over, to a curious and on the whole, positive reaction. Pascäal had the touch back... Continue Reading →
