Congratulations on the release of “Motherland Journey” how does it feel? Honestly it feels like a dream come true to have the legendary Fela Kuti featuring on this track! We would’ve never expected to ever have the chance to use his acappella but his publishers and Nigerian and European teams made it happen. …
Single Review: “Song Of The Year (A History Of Cool)” – Pārvāti
Pārvāti – Song Of The Year (A History Of Cool) Don’t let the title fool you. This is not what you think. No the writer doesn’t have an inflated ego. First of all, let’s talk about the music, it’s a simple song – nice use of synths, and plods along nicely. The lyrics are the …
Single Review: “Lost In Translation” – Coupedekat
This was a fun listen! I like the use of different vocal samples at the beginning, and the lyric “I get my words off the menu, I wanna go a la carte did I say something to offend you come round and be my Bonaparte” made me sit up and listen… It’s a song that’s …
Single Review: “Heart Train” – Project CONCUBINE
Project Concubine – Heart Train Project Concubine are back with a new single, and as usual it breaks the rules in terms of how it sounds. The vocals are processed and put through a warp as with the beat behind it, it’s a very inventive sound and it works really well with the mystery that …
Single Review: “Sirens” – Sunflower Thieves

Blog interview: Kololo
Describe your sound in 3 words. Smooth. Computerised. Catchy. Congratulations on the release of “Vitamins“, how does it feel? At this point, it’s all just very new and exciting! We’d given up on music for a couple years each individually until the band came together, so we haven’t really felt this kind of excitement in …

Single Review: “Lost My Mind” Patrick Tabaks
This…. Is a gorgeous slice of pop. And jazz. And soul. Latvian born Patrick Tabaks goes for a deep cut from his album with this one, a guitar led soulful ballad, it tricks you into thinking it’s just him and a guitar singing it on his own – a vision that …
