Michelle Galas – Keep The Feel In
I played this track “Keep The Feel In” by Michelle Galas this morning and I ended up dancing with a mug in my hand. That’s the mood. The beat kicks in fast and doesn’t waste time. It’s built for movement.…

Deja Dead – Snapshots
I found Deja Dead by accident. Late night. half-scrolling. half-bored. “Snapshots” came on and I didn’t skip it. That says something. The first thing that hit me was the voice. It carries the track in a very direct way. You…
Ivelisse del Carmen – Illusion
When “Illusion” started playing, I was actually halfway through answering emails. Lights low and window cracked open just enough to let the cool air in. I stopped. Not in a dramatic way. I just leaned back in my chair and…
Sarah Mcguinness – Don’t Let Our Love Go
Sarah McGuinness just landed on my radar with her new single “Don’t Let Our Love Go”. My plan was just to check it out, and I ended up replaying it three times before I even noticed the time. The first…
I.D.K. – Nark 5
I played “Nark 5” on my laptop speakers first. Big mistake. Within seconds the bass was rumbling and I had to grab my headphones because this thing deserved better than cheap laptop speakers. The song doesn’t warm you up. It…
Joe Steels – A Blue Patch
A Blue Patch de Joe Steels I just found Joe Steels last week and I’m kind of glad I came in with no expectations. I put on his latest album “A Blue Patch” late at night and just wanted something…
Charles Owens Trio – 10 Years – Anniversary Editon
I put on this album “10 Years – Anniversary Edition” by Charles Owens Trio on a random evening. not really planning to write about it right away. I just wanted something instrumental while I cleaned up my desk. I ended…
Dr. Evangelos Viazis – Justice For All
I’ve been following Dr. Evangelos Viazis for a while now. So when I pressed play on his new single “Justice For All” I already had certain expectations. Still, he managed to catch me off guard again. The track opens with…
Cracks In The Real – Alef: A Velvet Shard of Broken Nights End
I just discovered this artist a few nights ago. On my first listen, I didn’t think I was going to finish this album. That’s the truth. When “Cortege” started and I saw it was 10 minutes long, I almost skipped ahead.…
Arn-Identified Flying Objects and Alien Friends – Vagnar av guld
I played “Vagnar av guld” on a calm afternoon. The window slightly open. traffic humming outside. I didn’t expect it to hit me the way it did. Arn-Identified Flying Objects and Alien Friends has this way of sounding calm but…
Displaced Stranger – Grounding
I listened to this album “Grounding” by Displaced Stranger on a quiet evening when I probably should’ve been doing something else. I let the whole thing run while staring out the window. It felt like that kind of album. “Pipe…
Debbie M – Hold On To
Debbie M just landed on my radar with a new single called “Hold On To”. It’s a soft and emotional pop song that will get you stuck on constant repeat. The song opens with calm piano and her voice right…
Low Tide Signals – Orbital Feelings
Low Tide Signals just released a new single called “Orbital Feelings” and I’ve had it playing in my headphones for the past two nights while the house was quiet. It’s the kind of track that works best when the lights…
nównøis – incomplete (the shinobu version)
London-based Hungarian singer, producer and sound designer nównøis just landed on my radar with her new single “incomplete” (the shinobu version). It’s the kind of song you put on at night and don’t touch your phone for a while. I…
Serpico – Dressed In Flesh
I only discovered Serpico this week and their album “Dressed In Flesh” ended up taking over my speakers for a few days straight. It’s 9 tracks of straight-up hard rock that are focused and confident. Their music is real and…
Kat Kikta – Are You Worthy?
Kat Kikta released her new single “Are You Worthy?” and I’ve had it playing late at night with the lights low. It carries a dark and almost ghostly mood that settles in slowly. The rhythm moves at its own pace.…
Love Ghost – Rock Me Amadeus (edit)
Love Ghost’s version of “Rock Me Amadeus” takes the flashy 80s hit by Falco and drags it into a much darker place. Instead of the playful energy people usually remember, this one is heavy and tense. It’s like the lights…
Asta Bria – Will You Love Me Tomorrow
I played Asta Bria’s cover on this old classic late at night. Half-asleep and expecting background music. But it pulled me in quietly. More than 60 years after The Shirelles first recorded it, the song still feels fragile and Bria…
Exzenya – That’s the Story of My Life
Exzenya’s single “That’s the Story of My Life” is one of those songs you put on when you want something honest but still catchy. It’s a pop-rock song with steady drums, bright guitars and a chorus that sticks after one…
BOSCO – One Goodbye
BOSCO leans into a rock-and-folk blend on his new single “One Goodbye”. It’s worn in, like a jacket that’s been through a few winters. The song opens with acoustic guitar but soon backed by a steady band that keeps things…
