Alice Offley just hit me in the gut with her bass, walked away laughing and left me doing the something stinks in the room face. This is high praise. Not many people get that award. Very rare. This song oozes funk, mixed with dance elements – synth bass to reinforce the live bass, four on …
Congratulations on the release of “Motherland Journey” how does it feel? Honestly it feels like a dream come true to have the legendary Fela Kuti featuring on this track! We would’ve never expected to ever have the chance to use his acappella but his publishers and Nigerian and European teams made it happen. …
I have one word for this. WOW. It starts off as a piano led ballad. Very atmospheric. Lots of swirly synthy things that whisk you back to the 90s…. Somewhere in the distance, you hear the drums. Those drums are tribal. Well actually no it’s the signal of the children born in the 90s where …
Pārvāti – Song Of The Year (A History Of Cool) Don’t let the title fool you. This is not what you think. No the writer doesn’t have an inflated ego. First of all, let’s talk about the music, it’s a simple song – nice use of synths, and plods along nicely. The lyrics are the …
Cable Street Collective – The Wolf The Collective are back! Bringing with them a song that’s a full BBQ plate of food with its solid flavours…. You can almost smell that party food in the summer heat! The song grooves on nicely with some beautiful guitar licks, Aaron knows I’m a fan of his from …

Project Concubine – Heart Train Project Concubine are back with a new single, and as usual it breaks the rules in terms of how it sounds. The vocals are processed and put through a warp as with the beat behind it, it’s a very inventive sound and it works really well with the mystery that …
Congratulations on the release of ”Without You”, how does it feel? Describe it in three words: Pimlican: Pleased, groovy, optimistic. Josie: so SO EXCITING! Pimlican you are a DJ and producer, Josie you’re a singer songwriter, how did this project come together? Pimlican: It happened from my end because I was hearing Josie’s tracks …
True Religion – Que Bonita Hot damn…. This opens up with a flamenco guitar… But then, a bluesy female vocal kicks in. This is Amy McGill. Amy McGill can kill someone with that voice at ten paces. With love of course. Then…? A hypnotic bass line married up with a four on the floor beat …
