Sniffing out the best new music
We have featured Marcus Worgull on this site back in the summer last year when we covered his release ‘Skango’. We are back lurking on him again sharing a cover of The Cure’s Love Song with Fink on the words. This fella hails from Cologne in Germany and is a stalwart on Dixon’s prolific record label...

As soon as I heard the opening guitar melody here, I instantly thought Bombino’s vocals were going to announce themselves - they didn’t! This guitar funk number isn’t the Saharan guitar master at work, it’s Englishman Stephen Wilkinson AKA Bibio at the helm here. If ever there was a summer sounding song - I would... Continue Reading →
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 →
This young Londoner is well regarded on the music scene over here in the UK. She made it into the BBC's longlist for Sound of 2018 and her 2017 tour was an absolute hit. Yanya, who is of Turkish descent, has all the traits any budding music star needs - shes likable, young and has... Continue Reading →
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 →
On Tuesday, amidst my fleeting flying visit to Dublin, I took in an instalment of the popular 'Ruby Sessions' above Doyles! This is an accoustic night which happens every Tuesday- it's a musical institution at this stage. This intimate night has been running near on 20 years now (Founded in April 1999), unbelievable really to... Continue Reading →
A tune nestled extremely high in BIRP's estimates we pounce on from Ontario's Jaguar Sun. I came across this on SoundCloud a few days ago and it has rightfully commanded a constant shuffle since. There is something brilliant at play here in 'Again', it all begins in an ambient manner with soft indie vocals accompanying... Continue Reading →
In ‘SnifferFavs’ over the next while we will write about 10 albums that have influenced us greatly in the last few years ( Biased Review Alert 🙂 ). It is truly astonishing the power music can possess sometimes. I sat in my room late one bleak, rainy, evening in my parents house - it was around 2010... Continue Reading →
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...

Taking the pace down a notch we stumble upon some very fine stuff from 'The Vardenettes', hidden away in the depths of the vast Spotify library. They are an Austrian/English duo making melancholy tunes down in South London. I heard 'Down With You' after being recommended it by a friend and was very impressed with... Continue Reading →
