Sniffing out the best new music
Hmm what's happened since the last edition of The Lockdown Mixtape? Well... We've had a tornado in London, it has rained loads and I've joined a tennis club just in time for the Wimbledon rush. The day after I joined the club, I bent down to get a bottle of wine out of a fridge... Continue Reading →
Went a bit crazy during the week and ordered a big bunch of Sound Sniffer merch online for myself. The reasoning behind this bulky and impulsive purchase was pretty logical (for my standards) actually. The idea came to me following a little shopping trip in Watford. I needed summer t-shirts; I set off for Primark,... Continue Reading →
A Non-Music related Introduction: A Story from my life: Went on a date there about a month ago near my house with a serial Tweeter (Tweetist), a fairly respected BBC TV show writer. I motormouthed my way through the date, the usual (to be expected) behaviour from myself. I filled every moment of silence with... Continue Reading →
Sunshine gleams down from above - finally. It's been nothing short of appalling this weather lark recently hasn't it? I did my annual Primark blitz shopping about a month ago, filling the black mesh shopping basket with all sorts of summery things, caps, sunglasses, shorts, t-shirts and even a vest type thing (optimistic).

In times gone by I would waste plenty of time pondering what the magic formula for this was, but I don't need to, it is abundantly clear that the reason... Continue Reading →
It took a little more time than usual to spot a fresh new batch of tracks worthy of a placing in the mixtape. For about a week now, I've been shifting through countless submissions, trying to unearth the gold we are all used to hearing on this site (I hope you think it's gold). It... Continue Reading →
It's been a miserable day hasn't it? Not only is the weather pretty drab and wet, my tooth has decided to give me the mightiest ache I've ever had. Both things combined make this a forgettable Tuesday evening in. The show must go on however and new music must be plugged regardless of how utterly... Continue Reading →
Life has returned to a very busy form of itself in recent weeks, I apologise for the slightly later than billed, twenty-sixth, edition of The Lockdown Mixtape. Look, I don't want to hear any nonsense about the lockdown being over and that the oul Sniffer better think of a new name for a chain of... Continue Reading →
The feature continues even though the UK is pretty much lockdown free as I type. Around the globe the restrictions are a lot more stringent - therefore, The Lockdown Mixtape still has clout. The sun is beaming down in London and I'm starting to feel a little bit human again after the most mentally challenging... Continue Reading →
** (Update 8 December 2021 : I wrote a piece about recent events that have circulated about The Outlaw Ocean Music Project. Read it here.) ** One of my favourite undertakings with this blog last year was covering the wonderful sounds being made as part of The Outlaw Ocean Music Project. Since its inception early...
