  • Lonnieclaire – “Flock o’ Fakes”

    Lonnieclaire – “Flock o’ Fakes”

    “Flock o’ Fakes” by Lonnieclaire is an original fusion of grunge and rock but also power pop. A slightly disharmonic, vastly original tune that brings together lofi textures with a familiar sound.

  • Dark Soul Safari – “Running With Scissors” EP

    Dark Soul Safari – “Running With Scissors” EP

    As Adriaan puts it, Dark Soul Safari explores themes of individuals – and humanity itself – on the edge of breakdown. From failed politicians, to global warming, the themes in this EP are an expression of catastrophe somehow neutralized by the soothing musical elements of the tracks. Brilliant!

  • Norrisette – “Wild Being”

    Norrisette – “Wild Being”

    “The message is that I want everyone to be free to live the life they deserve, like a wild creature who doesn’t have to prove their worth. It is also a release of energy to try and find some fun and joy despite all the hard times we are going through in the world!” -…

  • HVIRESS – “NO EXIT”

    HVIRESS – “NO EXIT”

    Beginning with a sinister intro of distorted guitars and hellish synths that give you the chills, the track immediately lays the foundations of the chaos that’s about to come. Mishkin opens the first verse with her melodious, yet menacing voice, later joined by Hana in the chorus. The instrumentation gives the sensation of being in…

  • She’s Mine – “Out My Shell”

    She’s Mine – “Out My Shell”

    “I wrote the chorus first, then the beat and then the narrative verses about being an alien coming down to Earth and trying to fit in. I was really into Doja Cat and beat making at the time so naturally this song took on a trap feel.” – She’s Mine

  • Nobody’s Wolf Child’s dark new single “Green Fires”

    Nobody’s Wolf Child’s dark new single “Green Fires”

    The most interesting projects nowadays are those who are not afraid of trying something completely new, and one of those is definitely Nobody’s Wolf Child. Her proposal lies in creating an audiovisual spectacle between video and music, in a way that they enhance each other in a very special way, all while maintaining an overarching…

  • Salt House Lavish cosmic new track “Staring Off Into Space”

    Salt House Lavish cosmic new track “Staring Off Into Space”

    Chef by profession Salt House Lavish, it’s probably not even surprising to learn Andrew created this tasteful single in his kitchen, in the middle of mics and wires. The artist has definitely got a knack on how to put together very different pieces, offering an evolving beat-driven experience that please those craving for something new…

  • The Gladiator Composer: Ringo Harrison – “Far From Home” 

    The Gladiator Composer: Ringo Harrison – “Far From Home” 

    The individual instruments are playing their respective parts, but I wanted the listener to move between snippets of those parts without really noticing. Ringo Harrison

  • B of Briz – “What Would Buffy Do?”

    B of Briz – “What Would Buffy Do?”

    ‘What Would Buffy Do?’ is about how understanding the contours of someone else’s life, understanding their struggle to live a good life, can be really useful, even if that person is fictional! It’s particularly about how these ‘exemplars’ are important when the stories of people in your group- in this case women – are not…

  • Havoc Osiris “Evolutions”

    Havoc Osiris “Evolutions”

    “I always felt like some, we get so consumed with everything that we haven’t done, to the point that we prevent ourselves from appreciating the ways we actually have grown as people—evolved, if you will. I’ve done that countless times actually, and it wasn’t until the fall of 2021 that I really started to reflect…

  • The Velvet Shadow “Dreamlines”

    The Velvet Shadow “Dreamlines”

    Lone nighttime, followed by equally lonely daytime with an unusual quantity of stillness that felt new back when it all started, and still feels alien now. In the middle of this altered universe resides an artist named The Velvet Shadow, and he has taken the still ambience around him, combined it with the thoughts of…

  • Michael Donoghue “Calm Palm EP”

    Michael Donoghue “Calm Palm EP”

    “Last year I hit a bit of a creative wall where I was struggling to find inspiration and fresh ideas. There are some palm trees at the bottom of my garden that I see everyday, so I sat in my studio space one morning and decided to just start composing a track about the palm…
