Single Review: “Passé” – Mediocre Cafe

I like the futuristic soul jazz vibes to this! The chords and bass line define this perfectly. I could imagine Pharrell jamming out to this, possibly even Justin Timberlake. The synths play an important part in this, providing an earworm for days! The lyrics show a dry sense of humour about this being a 2 …

Single Review: “Borealis” – Artem Grebenschikov 

This is such a gentle track, all built around synths. The thing that caught my ear was the way that the chords started, keeping tempo and then all the elements being added in. It’s just two chords but sometimes that’s all you need.  There’s an arpeggiated synth in there that’s quite subtle but then there’s …

Album Review: “Eleven Short Stories – The Remix Album” – The Music Of Sound

The Music Of Sound X Minimums – First Light  This has such a cinematic feel to it, and I wouldn’t expect any less from Minimums having played and reviewed their work before. This is like an overture to the album and it’s an inspired choice both in choice of remixer and the sequence in which …

Single Review: “Fine Art” Gardna X JayaHadADream

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 …
