South Carolina’s Brett Weller sings to summer days on ‘Carolina Sun’

Posted on 16 August 2020

Former New Orleans native, singer-songwriter Brett Weller sends us a summer anthem here with his brand new indie rock fused ‘Carolina Sun‘.

Set for release on 27th August, this is a riveting indie rock reflection into the sun. The solos are fantastic and get the pulse rising just like you want it to. This is a soul message that leaves you feeling you are out on the road, looking for that perfect sunset. This sultry sun-soaked song simmers in the BBQ as you reflect on life’s adventures.

After moving his family to South Carolina in 2020, indie-rocker Brett Weller soon felt the effects of quarantine and the impact it has had on the whole event industry. Despite the challenges of navigating a new season of life during a pandemic, the singer-songwriter is riding a fresh wave of music inspiration that has been bubbling in his veins. Brett has begun working with Atlanta based producer, Matt Jackson, making a mesh of electronic rock and synth pop vibes.

Mixed and mastered by Grammy Award winner, Darrell Thorp, the debut single ‘Carolina Sun‘, this is the song from Brett Weller we have all been waiting for. With a road-trip theme tune, we can all enjoy summer days with this on loud.

AJ Tweek factory resets the Hip Hop game with ”Eye/Eye”

Posted on 9 June 2020

Have you ever stumbled onto a Hip Hop track with such a dope flow that it blows your mind? You admire the wild creativity and wonder how on earth they created this underground masterpiece. This is one of those times. AJ Tweek is the name and his new track ”Eye/Eye” has such a prodigiously groovy beat with galaxy-grabbing rap skills.

Summerville is a town in the U.S. state of South Carolina. This is the home of the wonderfully unique Emcee named AJ Tweek. Remember this name. He believes that he is from space and has been sent here by an old friend. I believe he has been sent back in time to refresh the Hip Hop game and factory reset this proud genre from it’s currently disappointingly stagnant time.

AJ Tweek’s flow is like no other and the way he toys with his audience with his completely unconventional way of spitting bars on a beat, that has been perfectly designed for this tricksters signature style. Summerville Storyteller Tweek’s stories of life are truly fascinating, this is a wise youngster who has lived life, attempted to teleport out of school and who has just brought much-needed freshness to the stale Rap game.

Get this song in your ears immediately on AJ’s SoundCloud.

House of Bethel – The New Boss: Keeping Jazz in The Family

Posted on 26 November 2017

The House of Bethel is the latest venture of three brothers from South Carolina who have been heavily influenced by their fathers music to pick up their own instruments and make stunning sounds of their own. The angelically archaic sound stems from their exponential mastery of the drums, trumpet and piano. Between them they create an altogether alluring Jazz lounge sound.

Their style is percussion soaked and simply symphonically indulgent and heavily influenced by Snarky Puppy, Ben Tankard, Robert Glasper and Chris Botti all of which are masters when it comes to creating an ultimately modern jazz infusion.

The New Boss is an instrumentalist peace, but there’s no need for lyrics to distract you from the enigmatic sound that these three musicians create. I could quite happily listen to an entire album of their work and immerse myself further into the transient melodies, quiescent breakdowns and slick styling.

If you like your music to fade away the pressures and monotony of daily life, check out the stunning official music video where you can see their deft skills in action.
