“Drive myself in the state of denial / So dark and hopeless, I wanted to die.” Far too often, the importance of being in good mental health is understated. Depression isn’t something to be played with, as it can potentially lead to tragedy – suicide…
I’ve lived a pretty staid life really; growing up in a regular family of two and a half children, with caring parents that kept us largely sheltered from the storm. Sure, we had concerns about the atomic bomb, the wrath of God, and all those pesky space alien abductions…
This week’s track is from LA based producer James Harmon Stack (Jim-E Stack).
For producer Jim-E Stack, a lot has happened since 2014, the same year he put out his debut album, ‘Tell Me I Belong’. He left his home in Brooklyn, New York, for the sunny shores of Los Angeles, which in the last few years has emerged as a sort of ground zero for artistically ambitious pop-minded musicians…
Music to Rep New York’s Big Inf is back with a sonically different Version of Strike Gently. Today Inf hooks up with Music to Satisfy Your Inner Jellyfish’s own Ak Rockefeller to give it a remix.
We jellyfish are masters of the art of subtlety. When we hunt, we simply wait for our supper to come to us. Our energy is expended on arriving in the right place at the right time. Preparation and planning is the key. Gauging the movements of the currents, smelling the morsels on the waves…
So the Anthem theme continues and this week we’re off to Camden, North London to reflect on the bittersweet nature of life. The track’s been on my listening list since early October and yet last week it reached out and grabbed me and I started paying attention…

In this week’s track, Jamila Woods and Chance The Rapper team up to deliver a dreamy r&b/hip-hop track. The title of the track, “LSD,” doesn’t refer to the hallucinogen drug. As a matter of fact, in this track “LSD” stands for Lake Shore Drive,…
This week’s track is a group effort from Kalis Uchis, Tyler, The Creator, and Bootsy Collins. “After The Storm” is an uplifting and smooth funk r&b track about loving ourselves through the struggles we face in life because we are the only ones that can save ourselves…
I don’t know what it is at the moment but I’m in total “Anthem” mode – you know – the kinda tracks that you lose yourself in and sing along to at the top of your voice without giving a damn who hears you. There’s something incredibly cathartic to this behavior and it’s exactly why we are building the list…
“So, wake me up from this American bad dream / Is it this messed up, or is it really reality?” Unfortunately, it isn’t a dream, but definitely reality. Country musician Kane Brown is perturbed about the state of the United States of America on “American Bad Dream,” among the crème de la crème from his 2018 sophomore album, Experiment…
Life is a big pool of memories which keeps surrounding our consciousness, we are just big projectors of our soul’s memory, we keep showing what we need to learn, holograms that experience a powerful and deep dream-like state which we call life…
