I escaped the city smog last week and ran away to Cambridge. What the countryside can do for perspective is glorious and something we/I too often neglect. Here are some songs that stood out to me this week… Pocket Sun – Never mind. Pocket Sun, a five-piece musical UK based band impressed me with this transcendent... Continue Reading →
Went a bit crazy during the week and ordered a big bunch of Sound Sniffer merch online for myself. The reasoning behind this bulky and impulsive purchase was pretty logical (for my standards) actually. The idea came to me following a little shopping trip in Watford. I needed summer t-shirts; I set off for Primark,... Continue Reading →

The Sound Sniffer has always been focused on good quality house music and it's only right we go back towards our roots for this one.

The song starts with well pitched groaning opening vocals over some throwback keyboard work. The whole song is then elevated nicely with those clear, almost... Continue Reading →
I put this one on the back burner last night and had a re-listen this evening, yes, I was right, it is quite the mellow tune indeed. Sister Ivy is a Jazz Soul outfit from North Carolina with a nice and chilled out vibe going on, which gets my support. The languid style of lead... Continue Reading →
