What brightens up a DJ’s work? A track that is long enough to quickly step away from the mixing console, replenish a drink, have a quick chat with a regular, and be back in time to choose the next track, all while the dance floor stays nicely filled with happily[…]
“I feel so lucky that you left my city” are the words of good-bye that Betsy Hershey aka Bets has for a person that is bad influence. Her new song “Left My City” is a bright, but twisted electro-pop song, which feels like coming from a different reality, where things[…]
“Somewhere New”, the new single by English indie-pop trio CAEZAR, impresses with a refreshing playfulness, beautiful vocals and some crazy catchy hooks. While thinking of an analogy to describe the exuberantly joyful vibe of the track, images of children playing with a ball came to mind, hair blowing in the wind,[…]
“Go Down” is a song from the new album “Mothdust” by Callow. The title is perfect for what is going on here: the San Francisco-based duo of Red Moses (vocals, guitar) and Sami Knowles (keys, drums, backing vocals) develop their music around heavy, earthy guitar lines that weigh down on[…]

In “Halflife” Norwegian musician Sandra Kolstad shows an unapologetic love for classic, well-crafted synthesizer sounds. The shapeshifting, epic track soars with swirling melodies before she unexpectedly geeks out with a 90 seconds Kraftwerk-esque instrumental outro that almost belongs into a different world. The two-faced music fits to the song’s purpose[…]
Man Without Country is back with a new single that has it all! “Achilles’ Heel” offers a enveloping moodiness, with some darker undertones that get counterbalanced by playful, almost goofy synth lines and Arcade sounds. The track is held together by hard hitting drums and Ryan A. James’ beautifully rich[…]
