Sonnymoon are a quirky duo – part indie-kid, part electro-hop. They released a free album not so long ago, Golden Age which is a mixed bag (according to me) – it’s definitely interesting and different, I just can’t figure out if I like it or not. But, I will say that their cover of Drake’s [...]

No tea and biscuits?! Definitely a bummer. But don’t be fooled by the flippant title of this collection. The emotional output of this EP runs far deeper than such superficial disappoints. In fact The Shelltoes might be doing themselves a disservice by saying that their music blends jazz, hip-hop (this part is true) and “that [...]

This collabo between Res, Talib Kweli and Graph Nobel honestly left me a little underwhelmed, but I’ll be happy if it brings Res back into the limelight and releasing music again.

Jack Splash returns with another free album download. This one is significantly better than the previous freebie, Heir To The Throne,  and demonstrates his production chops.

Her debut release Oh Jazzy, released back in 2007 is one of the better indie soul/R&B releases you’re likely to come across. She is an excellent songwriter and has a unique voice – paired up with the great production talent she seems [...]

I know very little about this cat named Amplifya. But evidently he’s a producer and makes electronic hip-hop beats that he describes as “slowed down and chopped up disco samples.  the inverse of chipmunk soul?” The Disco Screw EP which he’s offering for free,  is more of a beat tape – a collection of short [...]
