Sniffing out the best new music
This week has been quite indifferent. I thought my number was up on Saturday and legged it to the A&E late on Sunday. Thankfully, it was more than likely a flair up of me being a total hypochondriac.

It's Monday so I've decided to compile my top five tunes of the week here. After a couple of weeks of painting fences, building patios and cooking up BBQ's, I'm back doing the music thing again.

Page by page, day by day, lockdown was passing by and my mind wasn’t idle. This weekend was different. I felt restless... Continue Reading →

What is Downtempo Electronic? I have never been one to get all pretentious about music genres - I remember speaking to a group of girls outside a hip bar in Dublin, when I was in college. We chatted about music and our favourite artists, the usual. The conversation veered in the direction of music genres... Continue Reading →
