Sun Glitters has made my week this week. This song has lifted spirits and minds - it's only a relaxing melancholy simple beat and rhythm in reality but it's more than that to me. Glitters performs live in the same mould as 'Gold Panda' experimenting and chopping his tunes. After all - he made the... Continue Reading →
Koelle & Elli – All You Got {Joshua James edit}
Shades of Kollektiv Turmstrasse’s remix of ‘The Black 80s’ about this one. Stellar job done here by XOYOs Joshua James: I’ve said it before on this- James is certainly making some truely great sounds lately. Really deserves more recognition - especially ‘flux’. https://youtu.be/pvzPYbhwbKQ

El Búho – Cumbia De Tototl
Slow and methodical this El Búho release is quite simply delicious! Slow BPM - Repetitive but still engaging and current. This is the kind of song that will put you in a state of trance.

Slow- Lethargic- Mellow : Sao Paolo's 'Xique-Xique's composition is the perfect shoe-gazer! Not every song can be 1200BPM - Slow it down: Take a Breather: Enjoy five minutes of Xique-Xique this afternoon. Ripped from his 2006 'Xaxoeira' EP through 'Kontor'. This is pure chilled out stuff - Melancholy. https://youtu.be/dacMOHZkq1k
Rodriguez Jr. – Monticello
A slightly heavier number with subtle,cosy and soft infused sounds chirping away. A song with a superb rolling melody, this is one of those morning after-party songs where everyone is exhausted and looks towards each other with a reminiscent smile and nod. This tune doesn't have any needless annoying crashing crescendos so it sits pretty... Continue Reading →
