Wishing All These Old Things Were New – Merle Haggard

16 January 2019

I was thinking about getting old the other day, how quickly it happens – it creeps up on you when you are not looking, old age. People live longer and stay in a much better shape longer than they did a few decades ago. Still, we all get old and our bodies give out little by little. But the angst of aging does not come from that alone; it’s also that our lives change…

Lost in the Fire (feat. The Weeknd) – Gesaffelstein

Back at it and starting 2019 with some fresh R&B vibes from Gesaffelstein and The Weeknd. Having previously produced “Hurt You” and “I Was Never There” off of The Weeknd’s 2018 EP My Dear Melancholy, Gesaffelstein continues to impress listeners with his dark and complex beats…

Underwater – RÜFÜS DU SOL

16 January 2019

Remember the last track of 2018 when the theme was resurfacing? This week’s entry is something of a thematic precursor to what we talked about then; if Back to Earth was about overcoming the drowning feeling, then Underwater is about the experience as it’s happening…

Light Shadow – SURfACE

16 January 2019

A man and a woman, imprisoned in an abandoned flat set outside of time. They are far apart. Compelled by a strange force, they wander in search of its source. They find one another and their bodies touch. They find freedom together. They are each other’s light shadow, each a part of the other…

Anemone – slenderbodies

Good Fellas – Niko Brim ft. 9th WonDer , Raposdy, Charlie Smarts, SWANK

16 January 2019

Since the release of ATP2 album earlier this year, Niko Brim has been on a mission to let his talent solidify his name in Hip-Hop. After destroying Sway in The Morning not once but TWICE this Summer, Niko created a buzz that had many questioning “Who’s Niko Brim”?…

People Change – Mipso

16 January 2019

We’re starting off 2019 with something a little different for this list: a little bit of twang. “People Change” by North Carolina natives Mipso has been floating in my head for weeks. It’s a gentle track, and, as Mipso told Genius, an attempt to articulate loss…

All Kinds – Kinkajous

16 January 2019

Bang up to date sounds of alt-jazz from this five piece outfit that hail from London. Travelling through places where borders disappear, Kinkajous give birth to an innovative sound that very much reminds me of another favourite band of mine that features on this collective; namely Submotion Orchestra…

Askamaya – Teni

16 January 2019

First track of 2019 and i bring you a track to get you vibing right this year!

This is a track by a very talented Nigerian artist Teni and it is in Yoruba Language (a language spoken by one of the tribes in Nigeria) to get you up and dancing! While you might be put off by the language barrier, i suggest you key into the very beautiful production and the energy Teni brings to the track…

Awake – Ari Gumora

16 January 2019

“Awake” is about the feeling of falling in love with someone so amazing you don’t know what to do with yourself…

MAH – The Chemical Brothers

16 January 2019

Taking its cue from one of cinema’s most memorable monologues, this taster from The Chemical Brothers’ ninth studio album is a rousing rave rant that uses a sentiment that has touched a nerve with audiences for more than 40 years: “I’m mad as hell. I ain’t gonna take it no mo'”…
