(If you can’t see the player above, click here to listen to the track) Produced by Josh Freund https://soundcloud.com/drakken What I love: This a really lovely reflective piece. It moves well, it says everything it needs to say, and it’s sweet to top it off. Maybe it’s a bit cliché to end an album with [...]

(if you can’t see the player above, click here to listen to the track) Composed and performed by Adam Brock Engineered by Justin Freund What I love: What can I say? Big vocal stacks, dusty old keyboards, overdriven guitars. The lighter upbeat sections contrast well with the heavier slower sections. When I first heard it, [...]

(If you can’t see the player above, click here to listen to the track) Produced by Uko Abara What I love: This takes me back to 90s trip hop, but with a modern edge. The chopped up jazz sample and the dusty breakbeats go perfectly together in this track. It simply feels great. What could [...]

(If you can’t see the player above, click here to listen to the track) Produced by Karl Edwards-Clark What I love: Holy moly. This one starts out simply enough, but gets pretty ridiculous without much warning. It just kinda sneaks in under the radar. After a few minutes it’s turned from a regular polite dance [...]

(If you can’t see the player above, click here to listen to the track) Produced by Maz Doomsville What I love: This is a great modern take on dub reggae. That square wave LFO synth is just gritty enough to compliment the hats and the murky snare delays. Again, it’s all about the vibe. Get [...]

(If you can’t see the player above, click here to listen to the track) Produced by Cory Richards What I love: This is where the album starts to get heavy. I’m a super fan of this kind of intricate programming. It’s like eating a delicious crunchy toasted sourdough. The stutter bass later in the track [...]

(If you can’t see the player above, click here to listen to the track) Produced by Martin Finke What I love: The movement and momentum are really good here. I also like Martin’s approach to contour and development – the way the track builds and moves and turns through its four and a half minutes. [...]

(if you can’t see the player above, click here to listen to the track) Produced by Faheemul Hasan What I love: It’s all about the vibe. This is a really lovely meditative piece. Those effortless electric piano chords. The laid back acoustic drums. The ambience. The sense of movement and development is subtle, but it’s there. [...]

(if you can’t see the player above, click here to hear the track) Produced by Guillaume Stordeur What I love: The balance and sense of space in this track is really great. I really like listening to the subtlety in the little percussive clicks and filtered noises in the background. Also, the contour is really well refined. [...]
