Eat Me Alice – ElectroMush
With “Eat Me Alice,” ElectroMush delivers an ear catching, enigmatic, and thought-provoking record that seeks to atone for self-doubt in regard to sanity and normalcy in a crazy world… sort of.
The intensity of resonances – Matt Wilier
This little stream of resonances is crafted with a gentle ostinato that flows deep inside. Enjoy!
Binary Warriors – Humn_Error
Sometimes it’s just so fucking bleak – the past, the present, the future – nothing’s right – everything’s wasted, me included. At times like this – I need something simple, something recognizable, something tangible that I can attach myself to – I need sonic salve.
While the organic opening to this track is rather foreboding, the subsequent six minutes of solid 4 by 4 electronic beats feels relentlessly optimistic…
La Dispute – Yann Tiersen
The song of the week is one of Tiersen’s darkest tracks: “La Dispute”. He says this piece “is about extreme violence, blood, death and the strange state of shock you feel in the moments after something horrible has happened”, however people might think “it’s a romantic thing to listen to on a date”.
MATAFAKA – Unknown Brain
The track begins and I am already chilled out by the chorus. The rap begins and suddenly there is swag all over my face and the entire room. And the first drop keeps you clinging on to the goosebumps…
Gold – Dash Berlin, DBSTF
I don’t know how this track went unnoticed by the masses… But I am glad you are here to experience this piece of musical luxury.
Elixir – Tourist
Perhaps my favourite artist of all time? Maybe? It is usually the answer I tend to give when I get asked that eternally annoying question.
Bloodflow – Grandbrothers
Whilst combining acoustic elements like pianos and vocals is far from a new thing in electronic music, Grandbrothers do it with such finesse and balance that it feels like an entirely new breed.
Transformation – The Cinematic Orchestra
“The Cinematic Orchestra” created a beautiful musical scenery that gives us wings to fly with them. This composition really captures the freedom and vastness of the landscape, and the dramatic struggle for survival… but most of all, it fulfils us with hope.
freetime – Schwey feat. Satchy
Start off your newfound escape by grabbing a drink and playing this track. Either Johnnie or Crown will do.
Goodie Bag – Still Woozy
Goodie Bag is a perfect track to groove around city streets with your friends. Still Woozy is a name you will definitely be hearing more of for many years to come!
