Sniffing out the best new music
Lemon Power return to the release fold in 2026 with the buccaneering and roaming 'Tanger' - a single whose theme is firmly rooted in the sounds associated with the city of Tangier. I remember interviewing an old 1970s London rock and roller called Johnny Johnson a few years ago (JJ and the Flyers) about his... Continue Reading →
Where do I start on this one? A lot has happened since the last instalment of the Post Lockdown Mixtape. Time has shunted by at pace and there's barely been time for a stock take. Next Monday this blog officially begins to transition into other realms and avenues. It will be the big day, the... Continue Reading →
Joshua Idehen is one of London’s most influential poets, musicians and campaigners for protecting the live music scene in this sprawling city. He has played his part in the fabulous ‘Benin City’, a band that created the popular single Faithless that turned out to be one of my favorite tracks for about two years, no... Continue Reading →
Brooklyn’s Ollie Chanin with a very dapper piece of electronic soul and R&B here that has really left it’s mark on us here in London. I had never heard of this guy a couple of days ago but since discovering his unique blend of funky urban music I have been putting his stuff on repeat.... Continue Reading →
Are they curating a soundtrack for the next Bond movie yet? If so, music from this EP has to be in the running for a spin. 'Strangers' is the first song I heard from this classically trained singer from North London and I have to say, It is the absolute nuts. It is the opening... Continue Reading →
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 →
Serious shades of Santigold mixed with Tune-Yards humming off this little piece of stellar tune-age from SAULT. I have little to no idea about any information to shed on this band and have no idea how I managed to have it in the saved collection this week. All I do know is that it's a three...

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 →
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 →
Sheffield’s Matt Relton (Kidnap Kid) is a stalwart on the London Club scene. I suppose I better call him ‘Kidnap’, now since he has changed his name and all that jazz, but how and ever. ‘Birds that Fly’ is such a relaxing production from Relton and has been on our playlists for a good long...
