Turing Tape – Pandemic’s End (Spotify)
“Discover the Cinematic creation of "Turing Tape". George Perantatos works with instrumental and synth elements, which he craftfully combines together. After a soft intro, the mix becomes faster and stronger thus creating an epic feeling. Thematic track that carries strong emotions too.”
-Nagamag.com
An orchestral/synth hybrid that expresses how we feel as we look forward to the end of the COVID-19 pandemic: the anticipation of happiness and hope as we return to some level of normalcy, the apprehension of what the future may bring, and the sadness and melancholy for those who we are leaving behind.

Lennie Rayen – Like You Do (Spotify)
“In the track -Like You Do-, the composer's and performer's talent is mostly pronounced. Soft bits, acoustic instruments and fascinating vocals, which seems to hug you by the shoulders. Pour a cup of tea, open the windows and feel the smell of meadow colours.”
“В треке -Like You Do- наиболее ярко проявляется талант композитора и исполнительницы -Lennie Rayen-. Мягкий бит, акустические инструменты и завораживающий вокал, который словно обнимает вас за плечи; наливает чашечку горячего чая, открывает окна и впускает в дом запахи луговых цветов. ”

BOWIE, NAKED CAT – Easy (Spotify)
“-Easy- is a wonderful soothing background for our mind after a hard working day. The beginning is slowly moving into a chic rhythm section. Also the creators worked like masters of music genres and the vocals gradually introduce into an hypnotic state. Very warm and true Summer melody, which pleases when listening.”
“-Easy- это прекрасный успокаивающий фон для разума после тяжелого рабочего дня. Начало неторопливо переходит в шикарную ритм-секцию, авторы мастерски жонглирует жанрами, а вокал плавно и постепенно вводит в гипнотический транс. Очень тёплая и по-настоящему летняя мелодия, которая радует слух.”

Nathan Wiley – Heatseeker (Spotify)
“A pleasant surprise where vocals turned out to be so sophisticated, harmonious and touching. The track itself, by the way, is also very memorable - clockwork, moderately melodic and sets the necessary pace. Excellent combination of Retro Soul and Folk genres that makes it a pleasant choice for your musical collection!”
“Приятная неожиданность, что вокал в -Heatseeker- оказался настолько утончённым, гармоничным и трогательным. Сам трек, кстати, также очень запоминающийся - заводной, в меру мелодичный и задаёт нужный темп. Прекрасное сочетание жанров Retro Soul и Folk и приятное пополнение вашей музыкальной коллекции!”

Nathan Wiley returns with 6 song EP, Modern Magic.
His most collaborative recording yet, Modern Magic features members of Halifax R&B institution the Mellotones, as well as appearances by Steve Berlin (Los Lobos), Ed Toth (The Doobie Brothers), Rob Crowell (Deer Tick), and many others.
"I never want to make the same record twice, and I started hearing this sound in my head that was less about guitars, and more about synths and horns," said Nathan Wiley (he/him). "I was lucky enough to work with some musical friends that I've made throughout my career on this new record and I couldn't be happier with the experience."
Focus track “Heatseeker” is the story of a harmless crush on a teacher through the eyes of a young boy. The horn intro and sparse drums open the EP, and help set the tone sonically for the musical direction of the recording.
"Some of this is me in elementary school,” said Wiley. “My school seemed rough and dangerous, like a whole new world. The melody came first, and when the words started coming out, this teacher character that all the kids made up stories about appeared."
Recorded between Halifax, NS and Summerside, PE, the new recording explores themes like magic, love, lust and narcissism. Modern Magic is out now on all platforms.

Melodic, Open Air Techno is the way that Enrico Podda describes his music. German producer and DJ Enrico Podda's music is designed to make people fall into a relaxed state of mind. His tracks resemble a creative catch of the moments he experiences in life - this results in clean melodic techno tracks, with a little spice. Music has always been a part of Enrico Poddas life.Having played three instruments as a child, Enrico already started putting on music in Clubs when he was still in High School. This was how he fell in love with the Berlin Techno scene eventually, where he played in clubs, raves and parades. "Techno music is not just there to make people dance," he says. "It is a way to bring people together and see themselves as part of the world. All of this through an intimate way of expressing myself." Enrico Podda now started producing Techno music himself and is now on a journey to make a name of himself.
Perry Foster – She is of the Water (Spotify)
“-She is of the Water- brings in mind a calm, hypnotic river cannal, in whose cool waters you are brought into excellent prairies. Pay attention to those striking vocals, whose timbre comes so deeply that it doesn't let you go to the very end of this amazing journey.”
“-She is of the Water- спокойное, гипнотическое русло реки, в чьих прохладных водах тебя несёт в прекрасные прерии. Поразительный по своему восприятию вокал, чей тембр заходит настолько глубоко, что не отпускает до самого конца этого удивительного путешествия.”

Artist said about this song:
"Written in the Whiskeytown National Park of Northern California, the summer after I was married. After a truly transcendent day, the song seemed to write itself.
For the past few years I've been living in the Hudson Valley, NY with my family. Raising babies, making music. I'm working on a few projects I'm really excited about. Lately, I have been collaborating with some incredible musicians at the Clubhouse Studio here. I feel I am constantly learning so much! We're working on a slew of records that I'll be releasing throughout the year.
This is the first one.
On the track you'll hear the playing of Odetta Hartman on violin and vocals, Ira Coleman on bass, and Jim Weider on mandolin. Paul Antonell produced the song. Engineer/wizardry by Shubham Mondal."

Mazoulew – Tourist (Spotify)
“How often do you travel? Pass kilometers of paths, stepping in high grass, inhaling pure clean, mountain air. The neoclassical work -Tourist- is one of those compositions that helps, without leaving the house, to be in an amazing place on the expanses of our beautiful land.”
“Как часто вы путешествуете? Проходите километры путей, ступая в высокую траву, вдыхая полной грудью чистый, горный воздух. Неоклассическое произведение -Tourist- одна из тех композиций, которая помогает не выходя из дома оказаться в самом удивительном месте на просторах нашей прекрасной земли.”

JOLENE – Diamond Eyes (Spotify)
“-Jolene- delivers a unique sound and has the ability to find the appropriate elements. Harmony and mood are so clear in -Diamond Eyes-. The vocal part and variety of collected voice tones is practically driving. Unearthly work!”
“У -JOLENE- есть уникальное чутьё звука и способность подобрать соответствующие инструменты, гармонию и настроение, которое так отчётливо прослеживается в -Diamond Eyes-. Правильная вокальная позиция и многообразие тембральных оттенков голоса практически сводит с ума. Неземное произведение. Факт.”

This song is a mirror; crafted as a space to look into yourself, an invitation into a moment. A place to breathe and be, to find the world inside yourself. In the fast-paced culture we're in, I hope this gives you pause and brings you into a deeper awareness of your place in the universe.
The official video is a black screen, so you can see yourself in it. It is the soundtrack to The Mirror Room, which is an entryway into the dream dimension, my storyworld called HEMISPHERES. Come in: https://hemispheres.land/the-mirror-room
Jeshua Marshall – ‘Shoot the Moon’ Feat. Fredo Ortiz (Video)
“-Shoot The Moon- gives us a strong semantic load and energy promise, communicating with metamorphoses and images in the text. Such songs want to listen with eyes closed in full solitude, which will help feel all their ease in the confusion of modern realities.”
“-Shoot the Moon- дарит нам сильную смысловую нагрузку и энергетический посыл, общаясь метаморфозами и образами в тексте. Подобные песни хочется слушать с закрытыми глазами в полном одиночестве, что поможет ощутить всю их лёгкость в суматохе современных реалий.”
