Sniffing out the best new music
Brighton is our next stop for a progressive dance release from Kuda Blue. 'AURAS' is an absolutely brilliant production and I'm absolutely astounded that it is only lurking on a couple of thousand listens. This tune dons a fantastic bass-heavy layered beat throughout and whoever it was that thought it up, rests high in my... Continue Reading →
Our Track of the Day comes from Manchester’s LoFi Soul Pop duo ‘Darcie’. I just stumbled upon this earlier today and was taken aback by it’s simple beauty. On further inspection I found that these youngsters were featured in ‘NME’s 100 Essential Artists for 2018’, no surprise there. It all takes time, they are still... Continue Reading →
More Irish music here from Rory Hall AKA Proper Micro NV (Strange name that). Hall hails from Limerick and is affiliated to Strange Brew Records. ‘Dot Dot Dot’ is a down-tempo tune that I really have a soft spot for as it reminds me of Scottish producer Koreless for some reason. Now I’m going to... Continue Reading →
Some mad chilling deja-vu stuff, Peter & Kerry? I think they are back you know, banding around some deep vibes again. This duo (Peter Lyons & Kerry Leatham) shot to my attention just over seven years ago with their quirky acoustic version of Amerie’s (annoying) 2011 hit ‘One Thing’. Their languished, seamless and effortless, vocal... Continue Reading →
In 'SnifferFavs' over the next while we will write about 10 albums that have influenced us greatly in the last few years ( Biased Review Alert 🙂 ). Our daily 'SnifferFavs' section just had to launch with Hertfordshire boys 'Maribou State' and their absolutely blissful 'Portraits' album. This is my go-to album ever since it... Continue Reading →
Ripped from Nouvelle's late 2018 album 'Wired' we find an utter gem in 'Leave Now'. An usual blend of offbeats, Arabic and cheesy vocals all in one interesting piece. Nouvelle is normally a fairly pop driven instrumentalist but occasionally offers a more experimental piece here or there. This certainly is 'Wired's' more out there compositions... Continue Reading →
Finally, Kieran Hebden (Four Tet) has released the absolute banger that is... 'Only Human'. This was last years most ID'd unreleased tune and now we have it!! Using his alias KH we can finally share this belter around and buy it off him. The track has been released by the Ministry of Sound this morning... Continue Reading →
I remember a good few years ago going to a gig in London on my own for the first time. Before I set off I was subtly apprehensive about going alone, especially after just moving to this big scary new city. The gig in question was Kiasmos in Brixton - on the night they were... Continue Reading →
Following on from the highly impressive ‘Dancing for the Answers’ EP, released the back end of 2018, Mulvey returns for his first foray for 2019. ‘Moment of Surrender’ is the tune and it is a good one at that. His voice is always fairly on point throughout his work and this is no exception. The... Continue Reading →
A little reminiscing here taken from The Arctic Monkey’s 2009 third studio album ‘Humbug’. The opening track ‘My Propeller’ is the tune in focus, and what a tune it was. After the success of their opening two albums it was difficult to see how the band could keep the Sound fresh. ‘My propeller’ opened Humbug... Continue Reading →
