I like the way this beginnings with clashing notes, it’s very punk, but not very heavy! I think the split sections is a running theme this week, because this has a pretty solid b section at 2:39, where everything drops back to a purr, and it’s just guitar and vocals. The atmospherics on this really …
This track is pure poetry from top to bottom! The beat prowls, it starts off with a guitar playing a tasty little riff but it switches up around 0:11. Eva comes in good and strong, loud and proud about her family history, from Jamaican descent to Bristol and busking with her crew. She lets you …
This exploded out of my AirPods with such energy I had to write something about it. The slick beat is the stage on which Jayahadream and Gardna choose to lay down their rapid fire bars, I love the old school garage vibe on this with glitching synths, they don’t shout it’s pretty chilled and makes …
This track is just beautiful! Why did I pick it for the throwback track of the day? Well back in 1998 listeners for BBC Radio 1 voted this number 1 in the 100 national anthems. For me this track has got everything, lush strings, scratching, a breakbeat with hypnotic bells in there too. The vocals …
The Scribes are back! And they have a collaborator in Risk1. And they’ve got an EP. Let’s get into it. The Shipwreck This starts off with an old school groove, piano simple chords, the beat, but I love the radio announcement at the beginning at the beginning. This track moves along at a lazy pace …
For the non nerds among us, this song is about Buffy Summers. Buffy is a vampire slayer from the fictional town of Sunnydale, and her role is to protect the town and the world from the Hellmouth which is located on the site of the high school Sunnydale High. This was a tv series back …
A lot has changed since we last spoke! Congratulations on being signed with Stimulus, how does it feel? J: Feels great! Especially coming out the back end of lock down, we’ve hit the ground running with a lot of gigs that has led to a lot of new opportunities. S: It’s been amazing enough just …
Describe your sound in 3 words. Smooth. Computerised. Catchy. Congratulations on the release of “Vitamins“, how does it feel? At this point, it’s all just very new and exciting! We’d given up on music for a couple years each individually until the band came together, so we haven’t really felt this kind of excitement in …
Bristol’s MCs are back with a remix of their track, which I loved… This time they dropped the tempo a little bit, and have gone for a film noir vibe for their video as well as recalling a bit of retro with the video. What do I mean? Well, first of all, the backing track …
“I’m back, back by popular demand, back on the beats back with the mic in hand I’m back like your spine, back one more time, back to show these rappers how to really spit a rhyme…” With a slick beat, flows that hit different the Bristol crew The Scribes are back, this time out of …
