David Gale – False Hope (Spotify)
“A funky start to this clever tune. Its hip with its poetic chemistry. The chorus brings it all in and clears the path for the smooth guitar rifts scattered throughout. It has its own rhythm and takes off like a rocket, yet to be cleared by the funky riffs again. We dig. ”

David began his musical journey in local rhythm and blues bands around Syracuse, New York before joining the extravagant rock- experience, “The Joe Savage Show." The Savage show was a wild experience involving chain saws, pyrotechnics, leopards and pythons. The band always had talented musicians including the late Allen Woody (Allman Bros Band), Steve Davidowski (Dixie Dregs), and violinist, Chris Carmichael. They shared the stage with the likes of BB King, The Tubes, and Asleep at the Wheel. Although David's music is driven by guitar, it's not necessarily guitar music. He is always serving the song, rather than ripping off solos; however, don't expect the same disciplinary approach to live shows. David’s guitar playing is varied and distinct, sometimes described as angular and unusual but always melodic. David is influenced by all genres. However, his songwriting most resembles classic pop-rock artists such as David Bowie, REM, David Bryne, The Byrds, Beatles, Stones, Elvis Costello, Joe Jackson, and Brad Roberts. There are often jangly 12-strings, bluezy phrases, jazzy chords, soulful vocals, and rocking passages, a non-commitment to genre with nonstandard story topics.
Jocéan – Ma (Spotify)
“Meditation in the best of its manifestation. Hang drum and natural sounds, awakening music lovers in a unique artistic world. Feel the vibration in the air, contemplate for what is happening around, take a deep breath and slowly exhalate. See the world as it is and not as we like.”
“Медитация в лучшем своём проявление. Пение Hang Drum, звуков природы и пробуждение любителей музыки в уникальном звуковом мире. Почувствуйте вибрации в воздухе, созерцайте за происходящим вокруг, сделайте глубокий вдох и медленный выдох. Увидьте мир таким, какой он есть, а не таким, каким мы хотели бы или не хотели бы его видеть.”

Muidas – Andromeda (Video)
“Very beautiful creation with a stunning lyrical mood. Light layers of Ambient sound, affectionate guitar melody and serenity of being. Such works bring light in the heart of each listener. Result which is burning with its warmth and artistic touch.”
“Очень красивое творение с потрясающим лирическим настроением. Лёгкие слои из ambient музыки, переливающаяся мелодия гитары и безмятежность бытия. Подобные произведения зажигают лучи добра в сердце каждого слушателя, обжигая своим теплом и ослепляя умиротворением.”

Andromeda is Muidas’ fifth single, the first one of the “Above the Clouds“ project. The song is characterized by a dreamy and emotional mood, with a soothing guitar lead accompanied by falling piano notes. Inspiration came while meditating on how the universe appears to us: a harmonious constellation of immutable and shiny objects. I believe this is indeed one of the biggest and most beautiful optical illusions of our existence! For example, did you know that Andromeda and the Milky Way galaxies are likely set to clash in a few billion years? This song tries to portray the solemn and evocative journey of Andromeda towards us.
Andromeda is also an invitation to dig into ourselves. Tap on the play button of your favorite streaming app, close your eyes, and let your thoughts flow freely. Try not to engage with them, just observe and let the music guide you through this journey. When the piano plays the final notes, take a deep breath and check how you feel. Do you feel different? A bit calmer perhaps? No matter how you feel, kudos to you for finding some time to disconnect from the daily grind.

Ryan Riback, Dotter – (Just Can’t) Hate U (feat. Dotter) (Spotify)
“Composistion with very vigorous arrangement and electrified unique vocals! Its unique skill is simple, without unnecessary sounds. Moving between different stages of this production, the general perception is just privileged!”
“Очень бодрая аранжировка, ровный, размеренный темп композиции наэлектризованный уникальным вокалом! Неповторимое умение легко, без лишних звуков, переходить между разными этапами композиции, от чего общее восприятие только преумножается!”

RIAA and ARIA platinum certified Australian music writer, producer, remixer and DJ Ryan Riback has released his original single ‘(Just Can’t) Hate U’ featuring Dotter today via New Tribe Music/Sony Music Entertainment Australia.
Hailing from Johannesburg but calling Melbourne his home, Ryan Riback is one of the most in demand remixers, having worked on remixes for Kelly Clarkson, Clean Bandit, Maroon 5, Kygo, LAUV and Khalid to name a few. Most notably, his remix of Starley’s ‘Call On Me’ is now certified ARIA Triple Platinum and RIAA Platinum, hitting the top of the charts around the globe, when at the time, both were virtually unknown artists. The quiet achiever has amassed well over one billion streams.
Although he loves remixing records, Riback’s passion is in his own releases and collaborations and now he's back with his next single, ‘(Just Can't) Hate U’. An anthemic pop record about break ups and not being able to let go, the track was produced by Ryan in Melbourne. On how the track came about, Ryan says, “My team sent me the demo of this record and I immediately fell in love with the concept. I loved the vocal delivery and the feel of it. It feels super current, so I took it, laid down some Riback vibes. Honestly, it came together quickly!”
The track follows on from Riback’s original single ‘Wrong’ (featuring Olivia Noelle), released in June 2020. Fusing pop sensibilities with an infectious midtempo club beat and buoyed by Olivia’s melodic vocals, ‘Wrong’ highlighted Riback’s talent to produce immediately recognisable pop bangers, amassing over 1.5 million worldwide streams.
Ryan Riback is not your average pop/dance music producer. He prefers to lock himself away in his Melbourne studio collaborating remotely, playing video games, laughing at memes/dad jokes, and considering the reality of extra-terrestrials infiltrating the upper echelons of government.
With the pandemic slowing things down, Riback has been spending time with his family. He notes, “I've done bits of music here and there, but I've kind of been saving all the good stuff for when the world started to open up again"

Neil Foster – All Things Pass (Spotify)
“Emotions and feelings of melancholy that are accurately transferred. Via this divinely beautiful neoclassic piece, Neil Foster was able to present his entire spirituality. In addition to hope and faith, everything fades away. "All Things Pass" turned out beautifully melodious and leaves its mark in memory.”
“Как точно переданы эмоции, чувства, сопереживания и меланхолия. Насколько неоклассика бывает божественно красивой, настолько -Neil Foster- смог передать всю её атмосферу. Всё проходит. Кроме надежды и веры. Получилось красиво, мелодично и оставляет след в памяти.”

“All about that Bass on this one. We really enjoy that unique low sound expressed here. Her voice suited this track like a glove. One was wrapped around the other in a professional fashion od a skilled sound engineer. Not the typical lollipop pop song and we really like that. ”
