Sniffing out the best new music
Yes, I am back lurking around the release outpost of Studio Barnhus - Stockholm, once more. One of the founding members Kornél Kovács is at it this week with a fruity new one called 'Rocks'. For me, this is far and away my most favoured label at the moment, everything seems to strike some sort... Continue Reading →
Rewind to Circa 2010 - Glastonbury's introducing stage - you will find a young ripe Little Comets belting out 'Joanna' on the newly formed BBC Three repeat show. This is where I first came across these North Eastern U.K band in all their glory. Back then they were signed and swiftly left 'Columbia Records' due... Continue Reading →
In 'SnifferFavs' over the next while we will write about 10 albums that have interested us in the last few years ( Biased Review Alert 🙂 ). Rico Puestel is a German producer, live-act and DJ. Born in 1986, he generated an early love for music and became a multi-instrumentalist as he grew up in... 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 →
Up and coming U.K producer 'Laurence Guy' is one of the best in the business and he is at it yet again on his latest release 'Wildlife'. They call it Nu Disco, which is a Jungle, Garage-y, Tropical style, It reminds me of a toned down version of Cutty Ranks - Limb by Limb, which... Continue Reading →

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 →
Benjamin Coyle-Larner, a modest twenty four year old from Lambeth is just in a chilled out league of his own these days. One of the slickest spoken word artists in the UK is back again with more consistently listenable Hip Hop. Ever since hearing 'Ain't Nothing Changed', Loyle Carner has been on our radar. His...

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 →
Nevada City, California is the origin of this wonderful singer-songwriter. She bears a stark resemblance to Lisa Hannigan in terms of her looks and sings like a god too. ‘The Pirate’s Gospel’ is a really catchy little jingle, the harmonies remind me of Irish band ‘Ham Sandwich’, with the male bass vocal complimenting her voice...
