Ryan Vail returns with his brand new single, ‘Shadows’, a blissfully nuanced track with delicate synth, and an even softer vocal delivery. His songwriting retains the ambience of his previous releases, though distinct flourishes create a new dance-ability not quite as evident before. Ryan explains some of the deeper meaning behind it: “The song deals […]
With their new ‘EP2 EP’ out now, Husky Loops are sharing the new video for their recent single ‘Girl Who Wants To Travel The World’.

Check out sisters Von Grey’s new single ‘Hearse’.

It is from this vantage point that […]

Superheart brings us his feel-good track, ‘Count On Me’. From the onset of Luke Batt’s project Superheart, you are taken to a place where sounds ebb and flow between 80’s synth, dark wave pop and today’s minimalist ambient efforts. His single ‘Count On Me’ with its layered, complex synth electronics, and soft vocals sweep you […]

The newest track from Josh Pyke’s Best Of is, ‘Into the Wind’, written at his home studio with Dustin Tebbutt, and co-produced by John Castle. As if taking him right back to the beginning of his career, the track serves as another note to himself to keep at it and never stand still. “You keep […]
