Hello hello, welcome back and happy new year, all that good tidings and thank God Christmas is finally over! I hope you’ve all been sticking to your New Years resolutions; I know I have, I had a to-do list the size of my arm coming into January and I’ve managed to whittle it down to one, albeit mighty, item left to tackle.
In the spirit of this, my focus needs to be elsewhere for the time being - close by, though, I’m still here don’t worry! It just means my posts aren’t likely to be the usual epic sagas that you’ve all come to know and love, more like friendly little verses to keep the fires burning. Hopefully this next little bit of time will see a long-laboured project finally come to fruition, but then again I’ve been promising this to Andrew since July and look how long ago that was (getting sunburn on my head feels like a distant memory now )
So, this week’s track isn’t obviously save the world music. But it is music! And you can definitely save the world to it. It’s been the cornerstone of my DJ sets since I started DJing (so many moons ago... the previously alluded to project actually predates my DJ career, which should really tell you a lot about the current state of both endeavours), so why not make it a staple of the playlist too ey?
Happy new year, glad to be back!

About the curator - Matt Jenko
Matt Jenko is a university postgraduate and music producer with an unhealthy obsession with Rick & Morty and all things Game of Thrones. When he’s not in the studio (a rare occurrence these days), he’s fueling his passion for music either on the net or out in the real world. He likes being out in the nature (in the least strenuous capacity though, let’s be real here) and chilling with his cat, and he’s also pretty proud of his mammoth collection of books that he’s never read.

Sometimes situations call for a total reassessment. Sometimes, ‘having faith’ and ‘staying the course’ become synonymous with getting yourself stuck in a big ol’ rut. Even when your gut is screaming ‘yo bro this ain’t RIGHT my dude’, you just dig your heels in and plough on. You know best, after all…

The thing about works borne of pure creative passion is that they tend to take a lot to complete. This doesn’t just mean they take a lot of time (although time certainly accounts for a lot of the taking), they also take a lot of focused mental energy. This is the real sacrifice we have to make for our art…
