When It Comes Down To It – Minnie Riperton

17 December 2019

This Groove You throwback is necessary for so many reasons. Minnie Riperton is perhaps best known for her five-octave vocal range and doing that Mariah Carey thing before Mariah Carey did it…

She Da One – DJ Chase ft. Big Inf

17 December 2019

Today DJ Chase comes through yet again with another banger called “She Da One”…

Futsal Shuffle 2020 – Lil Uzi Vert

17 December 2019

Lil Uzi Vert returns with the lead single (potentially) from his long-awaited project Eternal Atake. The track has a futuristic beat with an electronic synth that repeats throughout, leaving listeners fiending for the closest dance floor to bust out some moves…

Body Without Wings – Nomazii

17 December 2019

Sadness is the most underrated emotion and often the most unwanted.  The expression “Don’t be Sad” is bandied around like a punctured prophylactic when instead we could be listening and demonstrating true empathy…

Canada – Desmond Cheese

12 December 2019

A song best explained in sounds. Sounds that feel almost familiar – but not quite – like a foggy memory…

Passing Time – Nos

11 December 2019

Nos is the latest young artist who sent me his great debut Passing Time and who in a little bit of time has become one of my best discoveries that makes me proud…

In the Dying Day – Apostle

11 December 2019

“In The Dying Day” is a wonderful pop tune by a very gifted British artist Apostle. His brilliant debut single “Dakota Thunder Rising” was featured on Music To Celebrate Life when it came out in January 2017. We also published a rather in-depth interview with him round about that time…

A Little Rain Has Never Hurt No One – a balladeer

11 December 2019

One of my favorite lines from last year was:

“inspirational quotes – in quotes – make me want to throw up – preferably on the person who posted them.”

It was Autumn Dawn Leader’s track that resulted in that particular piece of invective and I’m so grateful to her for the inspiration 🙂

Linked – Bonobo

10 December 2019

This vast lake, tranquil beneath a terminal sky. Lying, floating amidst a wash of mirrored stars, drifting peacefully as the atmosphere burns…

Star Trails – Antartic Wastelands, Somniacs

10 December 2019

I’m all about the wonder of being alive at the moment.

I think this is a good thing – particularly having come off a period where being alive seemed to be a rather depressing experience.

But like any good pendulum – I’m swinging back the other way and damn is it good to be on the planet!…

The Geocide – Cattle Decapitation

10 December 2019

“Death always wins, his molten torch forever burns / And to the ashes and the ground we are returned…” As morbid as the excerpt from the chorus of “The Geocide” may be, extreme metal collective Cattle Decapitation certainly have a valid point.  Everybody dies…

Dirty Money – Reality Something

10 December 2019

Every once in a while, you come across a band whose music feels like it has been a part of your listening lexicon forever…
