Bristol is our next port of call for a pensive piece from experimental electronic act Hallelugenia. This is a more serious, darker composition but it's highly effective in it's construction. 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 →
Khushi – From Me
Now this is a definite radio tune! Khushi isn't quite the household name yet, but with Warner Bros behind him it won't be long before he makes the big step up. This tune is sheer quality from the get-go - this Londoner could just well be the next big one you know. This man has... Continue Reading →

Lake People – Captured By the Bars
Some nice chilled out Tech vibes from Leipzig's Martin Enke to set the scene this Friday afternoon. I remember stumbling across and absolutely loving his 2015 release 'Escape Velocity' and here we have another nice track yet again. This is some nice progressive minimal detroit house styled stuff - I saw him a few years... Continue Reading →

LEISURE – On my mind
We were lucky enough to cop a few tickets for Auckland's gem of a band LEISURE in Oslo, London on May the 3rd. Their new release 'On my mind' is a feel good anthem if I've ever heard one. Without a release in just over three years, I was beginning to get worried that these... Continue Reading →
Tash Sultana – Can’t Buy Happiness
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 →
Sparrows – Do You Wanna Dance?
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 →
VanIves – Float
Hailing from Galloway, in the South-West of Scotland, these two mates Stuart Ramage and Roan Ballintine are doing rightly these days! I came into contact with them recently and enjoyed their take on commercially based music. It was 'Positive' I heard a few months ago and I put them on the backburner in lieu of... Continue Reading →
SAULT – Don’t Waste My Time
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...
