REVISITING 80s POP
Some of these tracks are going to seem familiar - however I encourage you to actually watch the videos. You might find yourself appreciating some of those familiar sounds more when you listen to them in the context the artist intended you to with the help of their music videos.
If you’re a fan of Speculator you’ll notice he sampled this song in his track Stay Cool.
A classic.

He also told me he’s got a new Bigcolour track almost ready and should be hitting...

THE LINK BETWEEN MEMORIES AND EMOTIONS
Good music falls under two categories with me. One is because, put simply, I like what I hear. The other, well, is a bit more complex than that.
Every now and then an artist comes around who’s really good at creating a sound in which you can truly immerse yourself in. This is a group of musicians or a musician who creates music that is not only well-written but actually has an affect on...
