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!
B – Torri in Sabina Ambient Remix – Non-Functional Harmony
You know those days where for some god unknown reason you wake up and you just know it’s all going to be shit. And sure – we manifest what we project and all that good mental wellbeing stuff but sometimes – no matter how well I rig my defences and man the battlements with productivity tips and inspirational emails – I fail – and so despair climbs over the parapet like an assassin in a medieval movie and quietly slips its blade into my hope…
Amnésie – Nhyx
‘What a lot of people forget is that Zephra has done this before…’
Canada – Desmond Cheese
A song best explained in sounds. Sounds that feel almost familiar – but not quite – like a foggy memory…
Linked – Bonobo
This vast lake, tranquil beneath a terminal sky. Lying, floating amidst a wash of mirrored stars, drifting peacefully as the atmosphere burns…
