Oscar Jeffery – Soul (Spotify)
“The artist shares with us a part of his soul, slowly swaying on the waves of his dreamy coast. If you like the piano sound, this melody will charm you. Neoclassical minimalism in its glory.”

Egopusher – Imitation (Spotify)
“"Imitation" is built by fine Ambient soundscapes smoothly combined with violin chords. Thick tones, synth layers and long pads forming a mystic atmosphere, which didn't leave us unaffected.”

2020. The world suddenly stands still. EGOPUSHER has to interrupt their «Beyond» tour. From the band bus back to the rehearsal room. Time to record the ambient album that has been floating in the back of their minds for a long time.
The Ambient Mix Tape is based on Tobias Preisig's and Alessandro Giannelli's wish to present their otherwise energetic sound in a calmer way. It comprises seven tracks, characterized by synthesizer sounds, impressive basses and intimate violin parts. Each piece has its place. What unites them is this comforting sound, which the duo recorded and produced on their own. Honest and direct.
Imitation, the incredibly fine and subtle opener, is an ideal introduction to this album. Inevitably, the gaze moves into the distance until the warm and powerful basses bring the listener back down to earth. In Sentinel, massive walls of sound build up between an organic hi-hat and an electronic bass drum. These walls open up effortlessly at the end. Finally, we return to the big screen with Vacuum. An appealing mix of 60s French cinema, Francis Lai and neoclassical coolness. The club and the stroboscopic lights take a break. But even in small and cramped rehearsal rooms their is enough space for sounds of epic proportions.
Preisig and Giannelli skillfully keep developing their unique and self-sufficient world of sound. This is their space. And it fills up again and again without ever being overloaded. The spherical dimension and omnipresent closeness to sound, that the duo creates at the same time are extraordinary. The careful mix by Berlin ambient piano artist Jan Wagner underlines this achievement impressively. The Ambient Mix Tape is a timeless result of a short epoch that makes the EGOPUSHER cosmos grow.

Dog Days – Last Call (Spotify)
“The sound smoothly fills the air and the lights gradually fade out. Sophisticated work from the upcomming "Dog Days" in our favourite Folk style. There's nothing more sweet than these guitar notes followed by etherial hihats. Quality music for your playlist.”
-Nagamag.com
Last Call is the third single from Stockholm, Sweden's Dog Days. It's a mellow, mid-tempo tune with sweet pedal steel guitar about break up's, being together alone and with a streak of hope.

Zim$inatra – No Title (Spotify)
“Hot and seducive vocals which in a moment will raise the temperature of your body, forcing the heart to beat into the tempo of music. An interesting combination of Afrobeats & House that works well - it helps you stand up and start the dance!”
“Сексуальный, обворожительный вокал, который в мгновении поднимет температуру вашего тела, заставляя сердце биться в темп музыки. Интересное сочетание afrobeats & house музыки делают своё дело — помогают вам подняться с места и начать танцевать!”

In my experience and people around me, the dating world can be a jungle these days and a lot of people settle for "mutually" beneficial situations that only develop into real committed relationships if both parties fall deeper for each other, never the case one person always catches them first. Having watched my female friends go through it more than my male friends I wanted to create something to level the playing field, so here is 'No Title'

Tristan Jantz – Scene Of The Crime (Spotify)
“The music that helps look into the eyes of despair and see hope and love in their reflection. Light and very emotional Indie Pop sound, as if dictating to a wanderer follow his heart, which will always indicate the right path.”
“Музыка, которая помогает взглянуть в глаза отчаянию и разглядеть в их отражении надежду и любовь. Лёгкий и очень эмоциональный indie pop, словно диктующий заплутавшему страннику следовать за своим сердцем, которое всегда укажет верный путь.”
-Nagamag.com
An accidental return to a romantic place transports the singer back to a perfect date with a lost love. The town is eerily unchanged, except the streets seem a shoulder width wider than before without a partner by their side.

The album art is a recreation of a photo taken in Rockport, MA during Tristan's soul-searching sunrise photography adventures to cope with the end of a 5 year romance in the height of a pandemic.
