Taking the pace down a notch we stumble upon some very fine stuff from 'The Vardenettes', hidden away in the depths of the vast Spotify library. They are an Austrian/English duo making melancholy tunes down in South London. I heard 'Down With You' after being recommended it by a friend and was very impressed with... Continue Reading →
Yet another slick as an oil-spill artist hailing from my home city of Dublin, Ireland. I was sent over this tune earlier this week and instantly knew I'd be sticking it up of on the site. Bizarrely constructed experimental music really intrigues me, this Lullahush fella is extremely unique and fresh on first glance. 'Clothes' is a... Continue Reading →
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 →

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...
