A perfect mix between synth, piano, woodwinds, strings and dulcimer. Melody is hypnotical, catching, relaxing, dreamy. Perfect to let your fantasy run away from the fear of flying.
Generations before us have laid down their lives to protect it and now we’re giving it away in return for “likes”. Freedom is an essential ingredient of justice and democracy, but those of us lucky enough to live in a free country risk squandering it in return for free access to social media. In their gently funky blues song Freedom, Montreal rock band Rival remind us to be alert to the danger: “How could we ever have a right to complain / when we’re the ones that said it’s okay / to take our freedom away?”
After an amazing anthem song for our nights out, why not continue the vibe and make encourage our drunk friends to sing even louder (and out of pitch of course)…
So i hear A$ap’s unmistakable voice and amazing flow blasting through the radio with an awesome beat going along with it and my curiosity is piqued- what song is this, who produced it, why haven’t i heard it before..? Shazam to the rescue and I have answers! Next thing I have it on repeat for weeks (yes! i am one of those people).

There is something so powerful about sorrow set to a tune. It is almost an appeal from the artist to his/her listeners; asking for support and recognition. Yet it is so personal: for every listener to experience their own emotions through the track.

Sungazer is his musical project with drummer Shawn Crowder, where its sound palette is mainly driven by glitch sound effects, bass, guitars and drums….
My oh my how time flies. Track 15 already.
Monster Magnet are a great band. I have yet to listen to their most recent album, which I hear is great, but I plan to spend this coming weekend doing just that. They’re a kind of enigma. Like last weeks featured track-wranglers Electric Six, they’ve got a sense of humor about themselves…
Sometimes, we stand beside ourselves, our beliefs, and choose to see our world in a different way, expanding more and more, in this state we open ourselves to the unveiling of mysteries. This energetic expansion can leave the rest of our bodies and minds in between for a while, until we catch up to our new way of seeing our world, and ourselves. We feel different, we see things differently, we do things differently, we are, different, changed…
This week we’re only about one thing, and that thing is: Lauryn Hill.
“Doo-Wop (That Thing)” was the lead single off Hill’s debut solo album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. One of the most critically acclaimed albums of 1998, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill was a breakthrough album for female singers and emcees, because Hill showed them they didn’t have to choose one…
This week’s entry is only a shorty, which I’m given to understand from the great philosopher Iyaz is also a term of endearment for someone who’s not unlike a melody in one’s head, or an iPod stuck on replay (what a genius that man was. Absolute genius).
As I was digging through my artist track submissions, I happened to have a golden moment when I came across this week’s track which happens to be “Dog Face Filter” by Beyond Tha Noize. The artist described it as “A monstrous heart stopping drop, filled with tearing electro leads and a chest pounding kick bass.” and that it is “A guaranteed dance floor killer set to destroy clubs and festivals across the globe.”…
