António Sá – Partition_Monolog: An Ambient Immersion into Digital Reflection

Posted on 4 July 2024

António Sá’s debut LP, CACHE 01, presents Partition_Monolog, a track that immerses listeners in subtle cerebral reflections, a tonality of transcendence and syncopated spectres of futurism.

The soundscape within the concept LP, which explores how memories are increasingly digitised, subdues the listener into a profound state of catharsis while pondering what it means to be human when our autonomy is increasingly enmeshed with the artificial artifices of technology.

António Sá, an artist, producer, and sound engineer, efficaciously utilised spatial effect within his diaphanously lush downtempo progressions which are shrouded in an aura of deep reticent thought. Partition_Monolog invites you to lose yourself in its sonic world, invite ambience into your psyche, and join the visionary as he follows his muse through unchartered territory.

The CACHE 01 album, released under Diffuse Reality Records, brings a fresh perspective to the electronic music scene. It speaks volumes of the Portuguese-based originator’s talents and ability to awaken the imagination within his evocatively euphonic scores.

Partition_Monolog is now available to stream on Spotify with the rest of António Sá’s debut LP.

Equanimity - A Futuristic Jazz Tale by ViO

Taken off his much-awaited first studio album ‘Equanimity: A Futuristic Jazz Tale‘, ViO sends us into a better place with his quality shining through to magnetic levels of enjoyment on ‘Chapter Five‘.

The world-renowned Viktor Haraszti aka ViO is a no-fixed-format Hungarian-born Netherlands-based indie jazz sax player, multi-instrumentalist, producer, and sound engineer.

There are no vocals needed as we hear a true master who is intrinsically connected with his chosen craft, as he gives the world an instrumental single to be at one with while there is so much unnecessary destruction on the television.

TutTheKing broke new urban ground with his dynamic flows in the alt-hip hop earworm, ‘Forged’

Posted on 26 January 2022

Plenty of new hip hop artists have moved into the ever-evolving urban space in recent years, but few did it with quite as much flair as the 23-year-old Egyptian songwriter and sound designer TutTheKing (Nour Rakha). His recently released 2022 single, Forged, is the perfect introduction to his dynamic flows, infectious attitude and experimental sound.

With an intro that isn’t a million sonic miles away from the one that brings in My Chemical Romance’s track, You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison, it is safe to say that TutTheKing that is doing just as much for the obliteration of genre boundaries as Yungblud, Travis Barker and Machine Gun Kelly. The edgy-in-spite-of-being-high-vibe track is a rollercoaster through the artists refreshing luminary talent. He doesn’t stop at breaking genre boundaries. He also fuses his Egyptian roots with a little SoCal hip hop for the ultimate galvanising and refreshing effect.

The official video for Forged is now available to stream on YouTube.

What They See: Moves Johnson brings us a groovy gem to learn from with ‘Everybody Knows’

Posted on 22 December 2021

Self-produced at the SAE studios in Berlin, Moves Johnson reminds us that it’s downright pointless to try and disguise what you are doing as ‘Everybody Knows‘.

Moves Johnson is a Canadian-born, Berlin, Germany-based indie-rock solo artist, teacher, record producer, and sound engineer who is a well-established figure and known worldwide.

”Moves is the narrator and protagonist for the 2021 documentary “Finding Myself”, a short film about the realities of life as a full-time musician. He is also the co-host of the podcast Artists Under Construction, a YouTube-based series offering techniques and strategies for aspiring artists to improve their own careers.” ~ Moves Johnson

Featuring a well-liked natural ambience that has you completely uplifted and ready for more knowledge, Moves Johnson sends us a candid message of life that most people haven’t even comprehended behind their blinkers. He performs like someone who has really lived and is straight to the point without being overbearing, on a funky track that will have your smile beaming brightly.

‘Everybody Knows‘ from the multi-talented Canadian-born, Berlin, Germany-based indie-rock solo artist and record producer Moves Johnson is a superb song with a really tasty bounce that keeps you utterly captivated the entire way through. This is the story about keeping things chilled and avoiding being paranoid in those big moments – as there are so many people with sharp eagle eyes – who know what you are getting up to behind the curtain anyways.

Been A While: Boston’s Stephen Route returns to the top after dealing with adversity on ‘Up Now’

Posted on 17 December 2021

Taken off his 13-track ‘Being Me‘ album, Stephen Route shows us that he is inclined to see the fruits of his labour flourish on this bass-heavy new single all about steering in a lane others can only dream of on ‘Up Now‘.

Stephen Route is a well-respected Boston, Massachusetts-based indie hip-hop artist, sound engineer, music producer, and writer, who looks at music differently than most. He is a true visionary who loves to assist others with capturing their ideas and following through with the vision presented.

”He’s been passionate about music from a young age and believes that the process of creating music should be an honest, inspiring, and most importantly, fun experience.” ~ Stephen Route

Showing us his hardcore bars that throws shade on other small-minded fools who are playing a childish game while you are making boss moves, Stephen Route is at his best on this hungry track that shows us his inner determination that can’t be taught. He was born a winner and flows with much conviction, on an underground beat that seems to suit this message just right.

‘Up Now‘ from the Boston, Massachusetts-based indie hip-hop artist, writer, sound engineer and music producer Stephen Route, is a statement track about seeing how the world works when you are down and almost out. After having to deal with many things that kicked him to the floor for a while, he has seen how others are begging for money as they see he is doing much better than before. Rapped with a contemplative bite and a look into the future, you feel that this is a multi-talented artist who has discovered so much about himself during a dark time previously.

Life is all about standing up tall when you are winning, as you vow never to go back to those character-testing moments when you doubted yourself to ever succeed.
