Sniffing out the best new music
I don't think I have written about 'The Tallest Man on Earth' on this site before. No idea why I haven't really as he is completely in the A class of musicians of our generation! His ability to match the most complex guitar plucking with his compelling voice seamlessly makes him a golden treasure. I... Continue Reading →
Taking it all down a notch or three here with a fine new release from Aussie mellow 'one person band' Tash Sultana. Sultana has been a frequent visitor to the Triple J top charts in recent years but this is my first helping of their music. Sultana is no slouch when it comes to being... Continue Reading →
Gold from Sydney based Australian artist Jessica Nitties AKA 'Sparrows' - uplifting stuff to say the least. This was my first tune I've found through The Hype Machine and I'm extremely glad I persevered on my search through the heaps of stuff on that platform. 'Do you wanna Dance' opens with an intriguing, brooding and... Continue Reading →
It's been a while since I've put a pure house groover up on the site. Locked Groove, the German producer, has forced my hand this time with his brilliant piano led oldschool house hit 'Do Not Freak'. It would be rude to bypass this little gem which is nestled in his new album 'Sunset Service'.... Continue Reading →
As first releases go, this is fairly damn solid! What is going on here? This tune from Augustine is an instant earworm - it is very very unique from the offset. This is possibly one of the best songs I’ve stumbled across by chance in 2019, no doubt. The production here is second to none... Continue Reading →
Dutch lads ‘Stuart Mavis’ have been firmly on my radar since I saw them play back in 2017 at Eurosonic Festival in Groningen. At the time, I was one hundred percent sure that their self-titled debut album would be a huge hit for them. The sound that these guys produce is absolutely superb and I’m... Continue Reading →
We have featured Marcus Worgull on this site back in the summer last year when we covered his release ‘Skango’. We are back lurking on him again sharing a cover of The Cure’s Love Song with Fink on the words. This fella hails from Cologne in Germany and is a stalwart on Dixon’s prolific record label...

Completely Lekker Lekker here from Berlin-based Dubliners Ian McDonnell and Dara Smith (Lakker). What type of sorcery is this? '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...

As soon as I heard the opening guitar melody here, I instantly thought Bombino’s vocals were going to announce themselves - they didn’t! This guitar funk number isn’t the Saharan guitar master at work, it’s Englishman Stephen Wilkinson AKA Bibio at the helm here. If ever there was a summer sounding song - I would... Continue Reading →
We know Jono McCleery from his appearances with Maribou State on their debut album Portraits. This time he is collaborating with Polish house duo 'Catz n Dogz' and it's not half bad! This is ripping from the Polish lads new 15 song album titled 'Friendship' released on Pets Recordings 29/3/19. I'm sitting out in my... Continue Reading →
