Like the lost link between The Warning and the future of Acid, Mike Nasty’s brilliant new single from his forthcoming EP ignites the senses beyond belief. It’s a spellbinding combination of rolling 303’s, expressive sting stabs alongside cool, jazzy leanings, heart-warming pads plus bold drums all hotwired to the soul. Which feels like a riot

Jazz is as much about defiance as it is about exploring the human soul for me. Defiant simply because it is still here, existing despite all the odds while teasing out communication between emotions in its own uniquely, certain language. Beersheba touches all of those edges supplying a taste of what’s instore from his forthcoming

I’ve listened to this song a number of times today and each play becomes more involving than the last. I also miss good songs and the impact that the soul inspiring qualities contained within the human voice can have. Natalie Duncan’s vocal delivery smoulders and soars in equal measure while the arrangement is perfectly timed

Four pieces of brisk, high-energy infused music occupy the space denoting this debut EP by Sasha Scott. Dragonfly opens fast and lose via a chaotic sequence of electrical impulses, exploding in all directions, seemingly dark while gazing towards the light at the end of the tunnel as colliding sounds gently resolve themselves by the outro.

And can you describe what you have learnt about how the two styles interact and feed off each other? Hello Magazine Sixty, thank you

Occasionally music truly excels. Exit boasts that stamp of excellence throughout as its life-affirming warmth cruises across lilting melodies, drifting over a simple shuffle of drum infused machines and sunshine guitar. Endless, contrasts next via darker brushes of synthesizer creating a more introspective story completed with an array of harmonised voices touching the soul that

Travelling through the expressway of electronic motion a question might spring to mind. Centred around songs verses sounds, which are the most significant here? It’s maybe that the uniquely 1980’s song structures hanging lose over the fast propulsion of drum machines, desperate to cling to a tradition of accessible, tuneful melody like rock n roll

Welcome to Magazine Sixty, Joseph. You have been performing and producing music for a considerable amount of time now. I wanted to ask, given the sometimes fickle nature of dance music, what you feel has enabled that longevity as you have remained integral to dancefloors? Luck, hard work, being in the right place at the
