Sniffing out the best new music
Dreamy bass here from 'Salute' - a tune suitable for big crowds at a summer festival for sure. This is a UK dance hit worthy of being heard from up and coming young producer 'Salute'. I heard Annie Mac giving this a spin on BBC and had a snaky Shazam on it at the time.... Continue Reading →
Italian duo Luca Bergomi and Carlotta Menozzi formed this psych-rock project upon moving to LA back in 2010. I have just stumbled upon them now, god forbid, and what a first impression they've made! 'Makes You Fly' is superb on so many levels. The opening Jazz horns and percussion build this up nicely from the... Continue Reading →
Very interesting sounds here from Zurich's Kalabrese! I know this fella from before and his brilliant 2014 indie disco track 'Kafi Lied' where he sang nice and pensively alongside Sarah Palin. This new one is ripped from a new three song EP 'Let Me Be Your Princess' and gets the write up due to it's... Continue Reading →
I don't think I have written about 'The Tallest Man on Earth' on this site before. No idea why I haven't really as he is completely in the A class of musicians of our generation! His ability to match the most complex guitar plucking with his compelling voice seamlessly makes him a golden treasure. I... Continue Reading →
Completely Lekker Lekker here from Berlin-based Dubliners Ian McDonnell and Dara Smith (Lakker). What type of sorcery is this? 'A Whisper In Your Ear' is the end product, in my opinion, of their decade of working together on their own genre the aptly named - Techno not Techno. Not all will be into this one...

We know Jono McCleery from his appearances with Maribou State on their debut album Portraits. This time he is collaborating with Polish house duo 'Catz n Dogz' and it's not half bad! This is ripping from the Polish lads new 15 song album titled 'Friendship' released on Pets Recordings 29/3/19. I'm sitting out in my... Continue Reading →
Sitting on my flight back to London this evening going through my list of tunes I've been sent and tunes I'd saved - I come across this chilled to the max little gem from the UK's critically acclaimed Jazz Pianist Neil Cowley. There is nothing complicated and brash to be heard here, a simple slow-rolling... Continue Reading →
London Jazz, electronic and experimental trio 'The Comet Is Coming' are on the move in the coming weeks as they first embark on their European and then head Stateside for a few sneaky gigs. Blaring out uniquely manic sounds, they are a must see if you get the chance. An exciting sound is always welcome... Continue Reading →
Well, this is actually whopper! I would never be too fond of grime sorts of tracks usually, but this one is far above bareable - it's quite charming truth be told. Sim Simma Soundsystem are an Irish collective who I have been aware of for a while because of their diverse 'Sim Simma' parties in... Continue Reading →
Twelve years!! It's been twelve years since The Cinematic Orchestra released their last album 'Ma Fleur'. I'll never ever forget the opening track 'To build a home' with Patrick Watson - I blasted that tune out for my music practical exam when I was a young buck in school. That tune, alongside Watson's 'The Great... Continue Reading →
