Single Review: “Home Safe?” – Righteous Reck

’s funny when I went to tag Righteous Reck here, my first thought was that this would be up @ruinzason and his brother @jflamesondabeat ‘s street, turns out they’re connected on social media already. This track has layers, the pitched up vocals and piano give it that love song vibe, but it’s not strictly a love song, it could …

Single Review: “Dead Moles” – Andrew Goldring

This song soundtracked my walk around Sainsbury’s. It’s gentle, but very dark in terms of the progression and feel though so it’s quite a contrast!

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.

Yes, I have a loose top 20 of favourite tracks of the current century.  Strange?  Maybe.  Anyway, this is a collaboration with Emeli Sandé and they go next levels …

Single Review: “El Niño” – Dictator

What a way to kick off 2025! This song has got all the good stuff in, at the beginning it’s got a nice little synth glitch like as if it’s an audio tag. A synth bass that’s got a bit of warp comes in over a hip hop beat that’s got a little bit of …

Single Review: “7 Sizzling Sausages” – Callum Marcel

Now there’s a title I never thought I’d type into my blog….  The first time I came across this track was through a reel I saw on instagram. It was a rap battle, and the way it came across it really worked. First up, using the Justin Timberlake sample of “Cry Me A River” on …
