In a few words: Hope you are ready for a moody hip-hop track, or maybe two, or even three (?) in the price of 1? Yup, you read well, ‘Dungarees’ is a bold hip-hop track, that changes pace and mood from one verse to another. Experimental, dream pop hip-hop? Whatever it is, we are diging this! Hope you feel the same way…

In a few words: ‘Stationised’ is a fine amalgam of downtempo, smooth nujazz soundscapes, alternative spirit, expressive vocal performance, bright experimentation and appeals to all open-minded listeneres and real music lovers. Absolute bliss!

The Karmo-meter:

In a few words: An 8-minute journey into the utter unknown through electronic villages, tribal cyclons, ethereal sceneries and dark wave rivers. ‘Tenebrion Deep’ by AeTopus is a extraordinary pice of electronic music, not giving in to any recent trends. Pure & brilliant!

In a few words: Grace Gillespie returns after a while with ‘Goodbye’, a track full of lush harmonies and poignant lyrics, proving that she could be female equivalent to Bon Iver. Or even better? Enjoy!
Indie folk at its best!
