Track Of The Day: “Authority” – Sharon Katta

Sharon Katta drops a track that combines electronica with a bit of spoken word and he does it in such a way that your attention is held for the whole time it’s playing. His vocals are layered on this with harmonies and he uses them as a pad melding in with the synths… my favourite …

Track Of The Day: “We Are The People” – Oli Rockberger X Laura Mvula

Oli Rockberger is back with a track that’s soul stirring but then that’s on brand for him. But he’s not alone he brings along Laura Mvula for the ride too. She reduces me to a blubbery mess with “Father Father” so her contribution here already told me before I hit play that this was going to be …

Track Of The Day: “Grippy Socks Jail” – Court Lee

This is trippy. I like trippy.  This song is not what you probably think it’s about, but if you think it’s about a hospital stay then you’re probably right. This song is very short coming in at 1:06 but within that 1 minute and six seconds we are taught about what happens in a hospital …

Track Of The Day – “Can We Make It Real?” – Manny Norte X Ayanna

This is a new one from Manny Norte and Ayanna, and it slaps. This is based around an afrobeat groove, and it’s smooth, you can tell they cooked it up for the summer because it gets you dancing immedately even if your’e not in the mood. What caught my attention was the Neo soul chord …

Track Of The Day: “Crazy” – Gnarls Barkley

It’s strange to think that it’s 20 years since this came out. About a year later, I had it as my ringtone, but we’ll come back to that shortly. Gnarles Barkley was a pairing between Danger Mouse and CeeLo Green, and it was fabulous they actually went to number one with this track for 9 …

Fresh Faves: Batch 600

AMITY – City Of Stars Amity · City of Stars We kick off the faves with an artist I’ve known for a while, this is their first time on the faves and I’m really excited for them. I actually met AMITY last year at Boogaloo Radio when I was going there for an interview, and …

Single Review: “Twilight Street” – Iris Harley. Words: Sammy Stein.

Iris Harley is a singer with a remarkable voice.  From the opening lines, the listener is captivated not just by Harley’s voice but by the story being told – that of a girl denied the chance to sing and the dreams she had of singing. In her dreams, she knows where she is headed despite …

Track Of The Day: “Screwball Scramble” – Dictator

It’s been a minute since I reviewed Dictator, so I was happy to see this track on my releases for the week. This track starts off with their usual energy, it chugs along with a great intro with a guitar, and vocals before going full octane! What caught my attention is the driving beat, it’s …

Single Review: “Gone” – Daniel Kinde

This starts off with a pulsating synth and low vocals that kind of leave you cold, it’s just the melody, plus the mind warping pitch bend – but then the sudden break at 0:34 introduces a single kick, before everything gets introduced, my favourite part of this track is the way the drums sit comfortably …
