Inner World is a spectacular piece of music in anyone’s book. Reading like a trip through a rich, musical landscape touching upon a series of seemingly random events that inform rhythm and soulful imagination in equal measure. Hinting at a cosmic Jazz-Funkiness as solo’ed synths soar skyward both the drums and stabbing, bass guitars feel

There is a touch of something timeless playing out here. Maybe its Matty Eeles self-assured yet poignant vocal that causes the sensation, or perhaps the drifting guitar lines which accompamy the shuffling drums that paint the intensity. Either way, Don’t Go is a first class piece of music that highlights the repeated demand of the

Welcome to Magazine Sixty, Nesker. Your new single: No Escape features a stunning vocal. Is it you? And can you tell us about the meaning of the words and how they came to be written? Nice to meet you thank you! Yes I did the vocal part. Before I started to produce electronic music, I

At the core of the music created by Afterlife life exists somewhere between lost and found. Looking inward, forever reaching out. Capturing moments as if they were yours to live, a shared experience if you will. The title track, Naif can be located on a sunny upland offsetting its sunshine rhythms with brushes of grainy

Describing music can sometimes seem like the impossible dream. But this hazy invocation of past influence melded to a robust contemporary attitude sounds particularly stunning. Fearless sequences the sort of heavy-duty drums most can only dream of while, perhaps an overly familiar, voice punctuates the rhythms with deep bass and the rest igniting the field

Ending 2019, just as excitedly as we began it, the succession of new electrical impulses transmitting over the past twelve months are also set to charge throughout 2020. Implying future vision is what we seek to do at Magazine Sixty, rather than re-tread past glories, and so Nesker introduces January with this timely, reflective vocal
