  • In ways the elements contained within this production are as old as time. And it really should come as no surprise that they sound as resilient now as then. Jazz and Blues have always formed the cornerstone of much of our music and therefore this beautiful combination of both sounds typically resonate given the uncomplicated

  • In the sheer rush to get to the next two tracks I’m kind of bypassing the opening Outlaw. I don’t know if that’s necessarily right but once to get to grips with the fevered excitement, infact the surreal beauty of For It you’ll perhaps see my point. This is the kind of energised, Acid number

  • What I love here is that this says it all. It’s a mad, crazy combination of ideas that all at once fuel the psyche with excitement and the need to play at full volume. At first the furious basslines and chiming keys may seem like that’s all there is but behind all that bumping intensity

  • Easing a steady stream of consciousness unto the airwaves connected have been releasing an increasingly fine body of work that lands here and now with Sondela. The original version punches tribal beats across a dark, brooding bass which works a treat in addition to Xolisa’s heart-warming, atmospheric vocal delivery. An Instrumental is also on hand,

  • Following on from our recent Q&A with Al Bradley we’d like to draw your attention in this direction. As you might guess from the title it’s a project in aid of the most worthy Macmillan Cancer Care comprising of four tracks from five artists, with the aim of crowd-funding 100 vinyl only copies by the
