Production duo Oliver
has released a new track entitled Fast
Forward. What starts out sounding like a heavy techno jam morphs into an
electro/pop vibe reminiscent of Daft
Punk. Oliver plays with these two sounds throughout the song, interchanging
them and finally combining them to make a thrilling listen. Check it out for
yourself below:
Shabazz Palaces have released the visuals to their latest single #CAKE. The video looks like a scene from an eerie nightmare with an
abandoned backdrop of warehouses and surreal oversized crowns, snakes, girls
and heads. Directed by Hiro Murai, the video perfectly reflects the track,
mirroring the ins and outs. The result is weirdly hypnotic, despite being
unsure as to what you’re watching, you just can’t bring yourself to stop.
The French. Romantics, charmers, masters of seduction. Parisian producer French Kiwi Juice lives up to the stereotype with his latest EP, "Take Off." His soulful melodies charm and hook the listener in whilst the vocals, supplied from the likes of Damon Trueitt and Madelyn Grant, seduce effortlessly. If you haven't already, you'll fall in a deep romance with his latest work!
Part-Time Primal Scream guitarist Barrie Cadogan has come back with his three piece with new album Shadow. This album takes rock back to its basics and never lacks in rock’n’roll excitement. The album was recorded on vintage instruments and with pre-digital recording gear, whilst you may not think it would make much difference, with rock music, it really does. The albums sound is reminiscent of rock giants such as The Rolling Stones or Led Zeppelin, the sound that makes these legends so timeless. The songs themselves are packed with good riffs, powerful drums and classic vocals. The album is 11 tracks long and it is an album that sounds as if song placement have been thought of. The whole thing flows and makes it easy to listen to as a whole album. Sworn In is the first single from the release and is a perfect example of what to expect from the album.
