The Kids are Alt-Right – Bad Religion

Legendary Californian hardcore punks Bad Religion enter the Trump era with their first new material since 2013’s True North album, a mosh-friendly 150 second burst of upbeat agit-pop, speeding up the riff from London’s Burning by The Clash, with sneaky references to the Solomon Burke soul classic Everybody Needs Somebody and of course the Who’s mod anthem The Kids Are Alright.

Take Care of You – Saje

This has been my Sun B track ever since Saje released his new EP. I had been waiting for him to release another track that I can effortlessly put in my yoga classes since his track “Lost Tonight” swept accross Spotify back in 2014, and the track finally arrived four years later.  

Violets (feat. Phonte) – Miles Davis & Robert Glasper

Miles Davis was a legendary jazz musician. Often mentioned within the same breath as the names of jazz pioneers and elite jazz talented. Robert Glasper is another one of those exceptionally talented jazz-inspired musicians. Associated within Hip-Hop for his plentiful contributions to its favorite musicians.

Walk the Walk – No Trombones

Thank you to No Trombones for submitting this weeks track, Walk the Walk.  The smooth sound is supported by a great horn section, and the powerful voice of Lil Rounds.  Inspired by those that make promises they don’t keep…..hmmm I think we have all known someone like that.  

Swing Low, Sweet Chariot – Beyoncé

It doesn’t get more powerful than Swing Low, Sweet Chariot. There are a million versions of the spiritual, any one of which could be put on a playlist full of pain, struggle, and soul and still stand out. This version in particular is a lightning bolt of Beyonce’s most lethal weapon: her throwback voice…

Thinking of You – Lord Echo

This cover of a Sister Sledge tune had me grooving and feeling carefree from the first listen. I admit I had never heard of New Zealand-based multi-instrumentalist producer, engineer and DJ Lord Echo (aka Mike Fabulous) before, nor had I heard the original Sister Sledge song…

Honcho – Raymel

We are In a age where its ultimately up to the artist to take charge of his or her career where everyone is fully equipped locked and loaded with a mac notebook as their weapon of choice with fruity loops or logic as ammo…

Night Terrors – Leonie Kingdom

This week we have another wonderful track that was submitted to the playlist on musicto.com. The talented Leonie Kingdom sent us “Night Terrors”, from her debut EP. A song about those difficult nights when you prefer to stay up to avoid bad dreams..

Said – Nasty C & Runtown

First off, if you haven’t heard of this young rapper Nasty C from South Africa who’s literally the ‘coolest kid in Africa’ with a mesmerising flow and engaging personality, then you should probably spend the next hour or so..lol looking up his tracks!

Roommates Only – Simon Dominic

This is the type of track that I wish I could print or synthesize in an image and add it to a PowerPoint presentation about “Who said hip hop is just a bunch of mess and screams with no  ability to be deep and elegant??”..

Blackout (Radio Edit) – Pynk64

Too often these days, we’re tricked into thinking that life follows a paint-by-numbers format, and that if we don’t follow this format, we’ll find ourselves in trouble..

Let You Go – Cathal Flaherty

It’s a double header this week – back to back Cathal Flaherty tracks and this one isn’t even released yet but oh my god – it’s a stunner!  If we were bending the rules of the list a bit last week by having Two Hearts – we’re back with a direct examination of lost love and the agony it induces…
