BRAVE JAMES is back with a new track featuring a singer songwriter that I love and respect, Oli Rockberger. And they deliver! Whereas the last single was a collaboration with with Blue Lab Beats and had a more soulful hip hop vibe this is folktronica at its best, catchy ethereal melodies with dreamy synths, the …
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 …
Blog interview: SØUNDHOOSE
Congratulations on the release of “Craniotomy” , how does it feel? like a huge weight has been lifted off our shoulders. There was an extensive amount of work, planning, revising, editing, mixing, recording, rehearsing, so many things that now it feels good to see the results of the work that went into it. It’s a …
Single Review: “Daffodils” – Sleaze
This is a cracker of a track, the low register vocal reminds me a little bit of Damon Albarn that disinterested tone, but don’t let that fool you because it’s a cracker of a song with lyrics that are pure one liners. The disinterested vibe is intentional if you listen to the lyrics that’s all …

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: “When Love Comes (Jae Euax Remix)”
This song comes with such a gentle Afro beat flavour that took me back to the mother land. Sharyn dropped a gospel flavour that fuses beautiful harmonies with a beat that has percussion doing most of the work, but with the occasional 808 dropping a kick here and there. But this is not about the …
Single Review: “Tinder Bios” – Nina Mckendrick
This song literally embodies all that’s wrong with modern dating in the 21st Century, lyrically referencing how some people have pictures taken with people that they claim to be their sister, all the dating cliches like photos of you in the gym, and not taking yourself too seriously. In the hell that’s the online dating …
Single Review: “Scenarios” – Mark Hill ft. Esco Williams
Mark Hill is back after a hiatus. And he brought a banger! Vocals by Esco Williams – what we have here is a track that starts off on a slow build. This could really work well with a full band…. Piano laying down the chords with the strings, Esco brings a flavour of gospel, soul …
Single Review: “Drowning In Fire” – Dani Slovak
I like the ethereal reverb vocal intro to this, it makes a very pleasant surprise when the actual lead kicks in a little bit later. The drums are hard hitting, I like the fact it’s not a conventional snare, it has a bit of an industrial thud to it, and it sits well with everything …
