Whenever I think about ChillHop or JazzRap, this duo come straight to mind. Anti Lilly & Phoniks have teamed up for a few incredible albums now and they’ve teased us with a new single.. So I’m hoping there is a new album on the way as I have spun their ‘Its Nice Outside’ vinyl for…
This month we’ve got new music from Little Dragon, Poolside, The Frightnrs, ODESZA, Scoobert Doobert, Nia Archives, Sea Glass, Soft Double, Albatrauss and Portugal. The Man. This month we’re returning to form with the mix by creating a sort of…
Brisbane-based producer and DJ, Sampology, returns this month with a brand new double-single: “We Are Love” / “Rain.” As a boy, Sampology spent his weekends singing in the choir at St John’s Cathedral. By his mid-teens he had discovered vinyl…
Dacus’ voice acts as a salve to the fresh wounds of youth, steady and low, soothing the raging storms both inside and out.

Earlier this year we featured the music of Brooklyn-based dream pop producer, Jake Muskat (aka Sea Glass). His music has been heavily influenced by the isolation and that feeling of needing to get something off your chest but not knowing…
I was first introduced to Dave Brubeck in a “History of Jazz” class in the early 90s. Before that point, jazz was music that my grandparents listened to. Hearing “Take Five” for the first time changed that. Paul Desmond spoke…
It’s funny how this global pandemic has found ways to bring us all closer together despite all of the pain and suffering it has caused. Closer together virtually of course. Because while the Coronavirus would like nothing more then to…

As New York became more and more deserted, he went out with a field recorder to report how the sounds of the city changed.
