RECOMMENDED LISTENING: Nanuk - Wolves At My Door

Nanuk - Wolves At My Door In a world full of trends and chasing the next big thing. Sometimes it best just to take a step back, be honest and be yourself.
 Music is a very personal thing, and Nanuk writes songs from where it counts. You might not like every song and that’s ok. But the ones you do, will stay with you forever. Life is a journey.

RECOMMENDED LISTENING: Aprilann - Bad Friends

Aprilann - Bad Friends “Bad Friends is about facing your bad friends, in your head and in real life, as you try to break the habit of hanging out with them. I think a lot of people deal with this ongoing struggle but it stays hidden because it’s a heavy topic to talk about. It was a hard song to finish because of that, but I hope when people hear the song and watch the video they can relate and feel more confident addressing the bad friends in their life.” - Aprilann

RECOMMENDED LISTENING: Barry Hudson-Taylor - Simplistic Complexities

Barry Hudson-Taylor - Simplistic Complexities The whole song was recorded in 1 take throughout. All recorded using close-micing techniques, It's a very intimate and hypnotic track that blends lyrical cello lines and gentle fluctuating piano melodies. I wanted to create a euphoric musical canvas that entices the listener in. <a href="http://barryhudson-taylor.bandcamp.com/track/simplistic-complexities">Simplistic Complexities by Barry Hudson-Taylor</a>

RECOMMENDED LISTENING: Hootgun - Jorriz

Hootgun - Jorriz "The voice mail is my daughter who was messing about with a tiktok effect. I thought that it sounded great so nicked it😀 . After finishing the original mix, decided to do a stripped down 'ambient' version and a radio edit for the release, inspired by 12"vinyl that have a few mixes of a track on them. I'd been going through my record collection, mixing ,passing time at the start of this "lockdown" we've all been going through and it obviously influenced me. The Radio edit payed off too, with airplay on BBC introducing here in the UK. Finally the name? Well I guess that was influenced by lockdown too as "Jorriz" is what my son calls our prime minister. "Jorriz Bonson" (Boris Johnson)" Jorriz by Hootgun
