Jalpa shows so much courage with this inspiring track ‘In Your Blood’

Posted on 1 November 2020

Cape Breton, Nova Scotia is the home of Jalpa and this fine producer is back with ‘In Your Blood‘.

Jalpa produced this song after reading one too many horror stories about human beings not having the right to love. Now more than ever we need to all come together, as one to speak up about wrongs in the world that can be changed. With a 3rd of Poland is a ‘LGBT-free zone’. this is a terrible event that should be more well-known globally but due to current events, this has been lost on the world.

Jalpa shows such courage to send through this message on ‘In Your Blood‘. This is an indie edm track that picks up steam and is a worthwhile listen with some interesting layers to keep you guessing.

Standing up for what you believe in, is so important for the soul. This is what makes you stronger and wiser. This is a very cleverly made video that is nice and simple, a song that is meaningful helps too. With the world trying to recover, hopefully there will be a time soon that all Poland’s residents feel safe and not forced to move or hide who they are really are.

Polish artist KAŚKA brings the beauty back to 2020 with the electrifying ”Insomaniac”

Posted on 24 July 2020

KAŚKA is a Polish singer-songwriter and producer based in South East London in England. She absolutely rips through the mic with her outstanding new single called ”Insomaniac”.

Electronics, jazz, hip-hop and ambient music is the vibe here. The song washes away all doubt in my heart and I feel like I’m living in a dream, floating on clouds with KAŚKA right beside me.

Pre-covid, KAŚKA was doing a postgraduate degree in Popular Music at the prestigious Goldsmiths University in London. This is a musician that is pushing herself to be the best version of herself.

Insomaniac is a word that she created to describe a person who enjoys staying up late at night. This track is her celebration of the night and its unique sounds and vibe. As a night owl myself, I totally relate to this idea and notion.

Polish musician KAŚKA’s ”Insomaniac” catapults her right to the top of my music playlist. This is a song to be enjoyed late at night of course, while watching the stars or meditating to relax. I love everything about this track and feel so much more relaxed. The layers here are breathtaking- from the rattlesnake-sounding shakers at the beginning to the electronic influences that slithers through the skin of the track. This is an outstanding effort.

Stream this wonderful song on SoundCloud.

Up and coming artist Maz drops his first single Godfather

Posted on 24 May 2020

Barely 20 years old and with a confident drive, Poland-born and UK-raised artist Maz drops his first hip hop track Godfather.

Gaining groove from Drake-alike beats and rap style, Godfather is a minimalistic hip hop effort that clutches blunt words and lyrics while keeping the music in a steady loop, as if Maz was vocally announcing his debut into the music scene. Despite being a novice, Maz shows an energetic and thoughtful approach and stresses how important it is to encourage people to pursue music.

By drawing likes to his up and coming project, Maz hopes he’ll bring awareness to North Wales, where he resides, and undertakes a tough yet brave journey that his grit will certainly back up.

You can listen to Godfather for yourself on Spotify.
