Mookhi: one more name to add to my ever-ending list of talented upcoming artists from Australia! It’s the project of a producer whose real name is Olympia Henshaw. “Foul Play” is her debut track, and what a great one! Influenced by her life in Hong Kong and India, she has absorbed her musical surroundings favouring dark …
LA-based Noah McBeth, aka NoMBE, just revealed a new extract from his album “They Might’ve Loved Me” due out this year. I have to confess I’ve never heard of him before receiving this song, but I immediately loved the song after clicking play. “Wait” showcases NoMBe’s vocals atop a soothing guitar line, creating an intimate …
These first days of 2017 have already been marked by really good releases that you can discover here (The Black Madonna, The xx, Bonobo…), and they keep on coming. It’s time for Roche Musique to kick off the year with its first release, a new song by the one and only FKJ (French Kiwi Juice)! …
Most of us have probably already heard The Black Madonna’s song “A Jealous Heart Never Rests”, played by many DJs around the world. Apart from this one, she has released a couple of (excellent) songs but it’s been almost four years since we didn’t hear a new original from her. The wait is now over, …
Just after seeing French producer Folamour play in Paris this weekend, let’s focus on the second release from his label FHUO, an EP including 4 tracks by him and Parviz. After “Alerte à Babylone“, we can now hear Parviz’s “L’Estaque”. With jazz, and funk influences, the French producer delivers a very melodic track, with a …
The first time I heard about Russian producer Phil Gerus was with his song “Love Is Not So Frightening“, uploaded on Majestic Casual exactly 3 years ago today. In December, he joined True Romance (Tensnake’s label), to release a new 3 track EP called “Make Time”. The release starts with “She Is Wearing Her Black …
While browsing new releases online (it’s actually quite calm for this last Friday of 216!), I came across this excellent edit of Nude Disco & Curtis Chip, which seems perfect to get us in the NYE mood! Inspired by Horse Meat Disco’s Boiler Room set, the duo put their hands on Diana Ross’ “It’s My House”, …
I first discovered the duo COEO with their song “Native Riddim”, which already became a classic since its release. Before the year ends, they unveiled a new EP on Razor-N-Tape, called “Disco Volante”. With their groovy sound, sampling soulful vocals and adding disco elements, the duo don’t disappoint us with these 4 tracks, good for …
Lydia Kitto is a young multi-instrumentalist/singer from the UK, who has recently released her 3rd single, “Ride”. Mixing influences from jazz and electronic, with very smooth vocals, the song reminded me of FKJ (maybe they should collaborate someday?). The kind of song that you can add to your Christmas dinner playlist! If you do like that …
