In life there comes a time when there is no signal. You try and tune in correctly but there is nothing there. To rise above you have to look deeper to see what is really going on.

Based in Adelaide in Australia, Ian Chamberlain is a fairly new producer that is refining his game to bring out better and better music. He inspired by musical genres past and present, mechanical sounds, and the world of nature.

With a trippy beat that is very distorted at the start, I knew this was going to be interesting. The song soon changes up and I feel that I am on an island somewhere nice and tropical. Perhaps with low hanging fruit on trees and the bars serve beverages with funny little hats in them.

”No Signal Remix” is the remix of the track ”No Signal” from 2018. The song is pretty much the same with a few subtle influences to keep things interesting. This is a solid release that keeps things so chilled in the heart with the blood pressure needing more of this in this crazy world.

Head through to Soundcloud so you can hear more from the Australian producer.

Altared Sounds – Grow the Bones: Eerily Transcendent Downtempo Experimental Electronica.

Posted on 8 May 2020

US-based artist and producer Altared Sounds made an unforgettable debut with their downtempo psychedelia-laced experimental electronica album “Red Wing”.

In a time when our physical freedom is limited, tracks such as “Grow the Bones” are more essential than ever. The consciousness-consuming absolving nature of the single offers all the adventurous mental stimulation you could possibly ask for.

With slightly eerie tones creeping into the mix, Grow the Bones takes you on a very different aural trip to most electronica. The sheer ingenuity thrown into the mix compels you to immerse yourself deeper with each progression. Under Altared Sounds’ deft orchestration, the energy, tone and momentum of the entrancing mix to transpose seamlessly throughout the epic 7-minute duration.

If David Lynch was asked to create a Resident Evil soundtrack, I have the feeling that it would sound fairly similar to the unpredictably mesmeric soundscape which is Grow the Bones.

You can check out Altared Sounds’ single Grow the Bones along with the rest of their album from 8^th of May 2020 via SoundCloud.

Timi Alexander releases highly emotional track ‘The Ballad of a Keg Heart’

Posted on 25 August 2017

The Ballad of a Keg Heart is a new single from artist Timi Alexander. This singer/songwriter has a nice edge to his music, with a sound that could instantly be described as classy, elegant and understated. The song immediately starts with a nice electric piano groove, going for a mellow vibe that flirts with soft jazz. Timi’s vocals hit soon after. Quite remarkably, Timi has an amazing vocal range that truly matches the width of his piano playing.

This track is highly emotional, showcasing the singer’s full spectrum of tones. His voice can be delicate and soft as needed, but also loud and present, depending on the moment. Inspired by the greatest pop and R&B singers of all times, this talented performer truly managed to capture a stunning performance on this song.

The way the beat kicks in after 3 minutes is truly stunning: when you though the song was not going to change from a piano/vocals arrangement, here is a whole new sonic depth, full of punchy grooves and instinctual vocals.
