BLAIZ FAYAH teams up with KYBBA for sizzling ‘Gimmie This’ out now!
Listen
Only two minutes long yet it packs a fair bit in. Love the rap vocals by Blaiz and Kybba, they practically make half the melody itself. I enjoy the beatbox tingling in the background, gives the music that bit extra
Michele Ducci unveils cosmic hand-drawn video as he reflects on the absolute of change with ‘Even Before’!
Listen
A great song full of rhythmic beats and soft yet steady bass with some smooth backing vocals. I genuinely adore this song, it gathers the pace yet remains steady and Ducci’s raspy vocals fit the mood perfectly
Watch
I’ve always been a fan of animated videos, especially when they’re used for music videos, as it’s always interesting to see how much of the song they translate to visual. Ducci’s done it really well here.
Benjamin Booker shares new song and video ‘Slow Dance In A Gay Bar’ – new album ‘Lower’ out Jan 24th on Fire Next Time Records
Stream/Download – ‘Lower’
Watch – ‘Slow Dance In A Gay Bar’
Interesting approach to a video I’ve got to say as the you watch the more you’re waiting for something to happen. When you listen to the melody and pace of the song having a video shot entirely in black and white suits the mood of the song

Listen – ‘Australia’
It’s been a few months since I’ve heard anything from Ocelots so I was keen to hear what they were doing next, and fair to say I wasn’t disappointed. Australia is a great indie/rock single and I love the vocals. These guys are definitely growing on me. Lovely stuff.
