Triple Six – Curbi

We’ve a massive throwback for you this week as we go back to 2016 when Curbi’s “Triple Six” came out. One of the most epic future house tracks of this generation…

I Wanna Know – Saib

There is something eternally satisfying about the sounds of nature on a track that I fall in love with instantly. It may be from growing up on an island with an abundance of natures songs versus the more common surroundings of overstimulated commotions found amongst bustling cities. Both have a place in our lives but our connection to one far outweighs the other…

Wishing All These Old Things Were New – Merle Haggard

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…

Underwater – RÜFÜS DU SOL

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

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

Californian duo slenderbodies offer a multi-sensory experience in, ‘anemone’ taken from their EP ‘Fabulist’.

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

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

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 Geniusan attempt to articulate loss…

All Kinds – Kinkajous

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…
