Law - Richard Spaven

Apr 29, 2018

Oliver Cheung

Richard Spaven is a fantastic drummer from London, UK and this track is a single from his album “The Self”. I first encountered this track on Youtube when Spaven did a live performance version on Meinl Cymbals’ channel.

Red means recording! Super excited to put this track on this list.

If you do not know who Jeremy Blake is, he runs a YouTube channel called “Red means Recording”, where he makes really entertaining music videos giving the viewer an insight on how he makes his music. He’s most well known for a series of videos where he uses the teenage engineering OP-1 as the main driver in a piece of music.

Arch Echo is a 5 piece fusion progressive rock band based out of Nashville, Tennessee.

Bruised and Bleeding - Okada

Apr 23, 2018

Oliver Cheung

Okada is the musical brainchild of Gregory Pappas, with a focus on an ambient electronic sound edging on drone/loop based/meditative music but with enough development to keep one interested throughout the track that is 15 minutes long…
