Congratulations on the release of “The Rock Cried Out” how does it feel? Everything around returning to releasing music and touring feels very strange and surreal right now. Also, this collection of songs is highly personal to me, and was made during a very private isolated time. Dealing with the onslaught of emotions attached …
Single Review: “I Wish You Well” – Chidi Digital and ROT8TIONS
This is an instrumental of sublime levels… The drums are dusty and warm, reminding you of old jazz records, fused with a vinyl crackle, and it just whisks me back to listening to records on a really good hi fi system, it just sounds so natural. You can’t always get that with a sample of …

Single Review: “Away From Here” – Speech Debelle X Baby Sol
Speech Debelle just dropped a beauty of an album, “Sunday Dinner On A Monday” and one of my favourite tracks on it is this one for many reasons. The warped record playing the chords sets the tone, especially with the crackle. The beat drops in borrowing from afrobeat with the rimshot, kick and shakers. It’s …
Blog interview: Ellis Evason
Hello, Ellis, how are you? I’m good, man! Busy but all good. Congratulations on the release of “Lipstick.” How does it feel? Thank you, It’s been a pretty crazy week or so. It’s nice to have so many people resonating with it. It’s surreal for me as well that it’s a track with Ezra Bell. …

Blog interview: King Darius The Great
Congratulations on the release of “Self Love (Re-Up)” how does it feel? It feels absolutely amazing. It feels like the equivalent of being suffocated then being allowed to breathe again. The installation of R&B singer/actress Hayzell B, is nothing short of a wonderful gift from the universe, as she totally exceeded expectations with her …

Single Review: “Bluff” – Morena Santi and D’Larm
This tune… Morena comes out all cylinders firing with a fine vocal over drums made up 808 sounds, and analogue synth parts. This is the kind of tune you can easily get down to. Morena delivers a playful vocal, which sits right on top of the instrumental, and you can tell she had fun while …
Single Review: “Home” – NX Panther & Jay Johnson
This is a great slice of hip hop from London rapper NX Panther, she mixes chilled strings and drums with a rap and some singing, this is easy to get into. The strings at the beginning are padded out nicely I imagine there’s some phasing on that, to make it even more rounder in sound. …
