High Street (feat. Skepta) – Blood Orange
When I was working on building Take Over the Night, Dev Hynes was one of the first artists that came to my mind. I kept listening to his latest, Negro Swan, all the time back then and I really wanted to include one song to the list from the album…
Jewel – Flume
The thing about works borne of pure creative passion is that they tend to take a lot to complete. This doesn’t just mean they take a lot of time (although time certainly accounts for a lot of the taking), they also take a lot of focused mental energy. This is the real sacrifice we have to make for our art…
Sleeping Through The Flood – Sticky Fingers
Don’t be too shocked when I introduce yet another aussie band. You may gasp. I know it’s getting a bit out of hand. At this point my musical garden is beyond fecund with sun kissed flora in the form of Australian born tunes…
Loving Is Easy (Feat. Benny Sings) – Rex Orange County
Loving Is Easy is an earworm indie pop song from Rex Orange County. One of the track’s strengths is the innocent and playful instrumental. Specifically, the fun piano melody and the simple drum pattern as it gives listeners an easy going vibe. Also, the dream-like violin sections in the background sound like they belong in a Disney movie…
I Got 5 On It (Tethered Mix from Us) – Michael Abels, Luniz, Michael Marshall
A man after my own heart, Jordan Peele loves to create movies with hidden meanings that are thought-provoking and intentional. In film school, we were always told that there’s a reason for everything in a film, accidents don’t happen. Jordan Peele takes that to another level, making sure to leave easter eggs and clues throughout his films…
All That Fear – Lucy Rose
Continuamos con el camino de las canciones mágicas y ésta vez la guía y encargada de llevarnos a México para la siguiente canción de la semana es la cantante y compositora Inglesa Lucy Rose, me emociona mucho como todo se está llevando a cabo, como si al leer esta nota viajáramos en compañía de Lucy, justo para conectarnos con la siguiente historia de la cual estoy muy emocionado porque corresponde a también a una super cantante y artista: Violeta Berdón…
Falling – Odunsi (The Engine)
This song gives me the retro disco vibe of the 90s makes me want to break it down on the dance floor. The first few seconds takes you out of wherever you are and drops you directly into the disco…
Hip Hop Top 10 – $KEETA
As soon as i pressed play on this submission from $KEETA his new single called “Hip Hop Top 10” it caught my ear instantly. Hip Hop is in a different place than it was close to 10 yrs ago and thats evident with the current climate in music…
Lunch Break – Bléu
I’d had MINOR SURGERY. I was prescribed CODEINE. These songs were my THOUGHTS and my DREAMS. My CODEINE DREAMS!
Just wanna wake up to the sun shining thru my window, hear the wind blow, I just wanna see the light of day, see my kids grow…
Spaces – Skytrip
This song revolves around a situation where the protagonist realises he’s a part of a simulated world. He tries to convince his lover that they are simulations . He somehow feels like he’s a bug in the system and goes to extreme lengths to prove it…
Perfect Wife – Amigo The Devil
A big thanks to Jesse from http://www.morosity.com/ for the introduction to this weeks feature artist.
Perfect Wife has all the pleasantry’s of a Mumford and Sons mainstream super hit – except for a couple of lyrical concepts…
Artefakk – Rudegaze
I don’t know how or why this track got into my head and made the list. The odds against that happening were long – the most perfunctory track submission with nary a line on why I should listen would typically result in being sent straight to trash – but for some reason I had a listen…
