Pure, fragile, ethereal, dreamy, hypnotic are only some of the descriptions instantly come to mind when listening to the glorious “Come On, Dreamer” by British singer-songwriter Tom Adams. The Berlin-based musician combines electronic as well as piano styles effortlessly and together with his intriguing falsetto creates something of weightless beauty.

SONG PICK: Chelsea Cutler - Your Shirt

Chelsea Cutler wrote, produced and sang her new song “Your Shirt” all by herself, but she electronically conjures the voices of a happier (?) past to help her tell the story. The song feels bright as the morning when she wakes up and realizes that a shirt and some memories is

SONG PICK: JOHN.k - Runnin

From the start, “Runnin” is a simply irresistible track that knows exactly when to go big and when to give room to the absolutely gorgeous vocals because the arrangement enchants with its bold yet also introspect, tender moments. “Runnin” is the debut single by singer-songwriter JOHN.k providing us with

SONG PICK: Cuesta Loeb - Charlotte Hill

This is big sound: L.A. via NYC musician Cuesta Loeb does shoegaze-inspired dream pop where her vocals float narrowly over thick layers of guitars. “Charlotte Hill” is the third track off her debut EP “Dive”, which is out now (Apple Music | Spotify | Soundcloud). Cuesta Loeb will play their debut

WITH WHISKEY OR COFFEE: Harry Pane - Fletcher Bay

Leave it to musicians to cope with tragic loss in the most amazing way. “Fletcher Bay” with its -as contradictory as this may sound- upbeat melancholy is like golden sunshine after a dark and heavy thunder-storm. Singer-songwriter Harry Pane dedicated “Fletcher Bay” to his late father, who sadly passed away

NEW MUSIC: Oyinda - Serpentine (Video)

Oyinda’s “Restless Minds” was one of my favorite EPs last year. Now she is following up with a video that blurs real and visual reality. Oyinda explains: “Whilst writing ‘Serpentine’ I was studying hypnosis, specifically instances where patients wind up referring to themselves in the third person; they see

Electronic music night at The Delancey! First on stage was Vigil. Wary of the “karaoke problem” that many electronic musicians face, he decided to ditch the laptop in favor of a vintage MPC, which he plays like a hand drum. Good choice – he achieved similar intimacy and intensity of an

SONG PREMIERE: Sam Brookes - My Girl Drinks Coffee (AR Ferdinand Remix)

The heartbreakingly gorgeous “My Girl Drinks Coffee” by London-based alt-folk singer-songwriter Sam Brookes  gets a remix treatment by AR Ferdinand, hailing from El Salvador.

SONG PICK: Katelin Tarver - Love Me Again

“Love Me Again”, our Song Pick of the Day was released on Valentine’s Day, but love is also the most important thing the other 364 days of the year. In this quiet song Katelyn Tarver, best known as an actor, tries to fix a relationship. “When it feels like

SONG PICK: Torandaga - After Life

The debut single “After Life” by Toronto-based duo Torandaga is a clever and disarmingly beautiful track. Clever, because subject matter, lyrics and musical interpretation are done in a rather sophisticated way and beautiful because it simply is. There’s a stark contrast between the dark and powerful drum and bass

SONG PICK: Ellie Bleach - I Want You So Bad

Ellie Bleach is a student from Norwich, England and “I Want You So Bad” is her slow burning, extremely catchy debut track, which she recorded for the local label Seal of Approval Records. I’m sure we will hear more from her this year. Listen to our Song Pick of

NEW TRACK: Mikala - Save Your Love

“Save all your love for another day” is the advice Danish/Italian singer Mikala gives to somebody she is not so much interested in. It “makes you wonder what the world’s coming to” – or maybe not: musically and lyrically captures a hot night out in the city, when love

SONG PICK: Toyko - Stronger Love

There is no escaping “Stronger Love” because this track is one optimistic, glorious pop-anthem, one of the songs you like to sing along with, when hitting the repeat-button. There’s not much to be said yet about the enigmatic Los Angeles based artist Toyko and why not letting his new

SONG PICK: Jazz Morley - Ruin Me

UK singer Jazz Morley does unpretentious pop songs that seem to get straight to the point. “I could let you ruin me”, sings Jazz and that describes exactly the moment when you are about to decide to go ahead in a relationship. “Sometimes when the world seems grey and hopeless,

The Song Pick of the Day, “From the Land Below” is one of the far too rare all-female collaborations in electronic music. Berlin-based producer Ah!

NEW MUSIC: Jerry Williams - Velcro (Video)

U.K. singer Jerry Williams copes with the end of a relationship in her new song “Velcro”. There is nobody around to comfort her, just the relentless blinking lights of arcade game machines. In the end she drives off in a fancy car: at some point you always have to

SONG PICK: Anastave - The Usual Suspects

“The Usual Suspects” is a quiet song with singer/songwriter Anastave almost whispering her lyrics. But beneath her voice a lot is going on: a guitar and a sparse beat guide through layers of electronics and other noises. Anastave takes many influences to create a appealing sound of her own.
