 Tom Sonic and Marvin Günther You Make Me Crazy Hamburg Giving nothing away, mystery artist Tom Sonic prefers to not reveal his true identity. We just don't know anything about this artist apart from the fact he knows how to put a great tune together. Deciphering the human spirit through the sound of catchy dance music, Tom Sonic lets us in on the upbeat and melodious excitement of uplifting sound. Graceful sounds build over slow moving waters to bring the music closer. As the sounds reach their culmination, a bass and rhythm guitar enter to feed the flow. Keyboards and vocal provide a melodic story of sound that repeats and moves with shifting shimmering focus. As the chorus begins, the title of the song becomes part of the words and the hook is well established. We drift in the dream-like harmonies and effected vocal sounds that sweep like luxurious fabrics over the stage. You can follow Tom Sonic on Instagram 
Kaapstaad
Aula Sweden/Australia Caught in the middle of a pandemic with his life split across continental boundaries Tiny Fighter member Tim Spelman developed into new directions. Submerging himself in production, elevating his style, and pushing the boundaries of his skills, the result has been the phenomenal growth of electronic downtempo act Kaapstaad. Developed into a genre favourite with the help of Marcus Wallberg and Tommy Wilen in Stockholm, the debut single Night was received brilliantly all-round. Joining forces further with British production company UNTHNKBLE, this latest single is given an equally sublime visual to match. The warm crackle of vinyl lifts a piano melody on buoyant atmospheres. A laid-back rhythm envelops the progression as musical passages flow in graceful suites of story. Sound effects from the synthesiser burst through the moment with abstract inclusions as distant ambiences creep into earshot behind the ever-present dynamics of piano. Gradual evolution rises as the harmonies change key in pivotal moments that gild the beautiful theme which permeates all variation.

Hailing from Wales and with an international list of fans, this regular live show act brings a sense of fiery Welsh attitude to everything they touch. Heading for radio stations around the world and getting attention from the global media, Stickman present Ex-Box Life. A heavy guitar riff punches in the time-stamp as off-beat licks mirror the buzz. Discordant scales leap like lemmings from rocky outcroppings of guitar. Words launch the energy upwards with fast-paced lyrics and chaotic melodies. A structured ferocity keeps a talented composition in motion as novel riffs and chords patters staple together verse and chorus progressions with plenty of inventive inflections in-between.

Ummagma
Двічі Народжені / Twice Born Canada-Ukraine Joining forces from astride the globe, Canadian/Ukrainian duo Ummagma establish a phenomenal soundscape with a merging of shoe-gaze and post-punk new-wave that hits so many spots it's hard to describe. They've won several awards since 2012 including the Alternative Eurovision Awards held by Britain's Amazing Radio. Having been featured in global media on multiple occasions, Ummagma have worked with some phenomenal musicians on their journey, including founding member of The Cocteau Twins Robin Guthrie. Their latest single makes a clear statement about the current war in Ukraine with a heart-moving video.(Age restricted) Soft acoustic guitar starts with a slow and emotion-wrapped melody. Drums thunder in with rain-drop like sounds amplified to mime the guns. Ukrainian lyrics begin, for us it might be best to listen to the phonetics and enjoy the journey. A mix of sounds build from gazing depths of sustained harmony and artistic mirrors. The verse changes into a melodic distance as the guitar shifts to reveal a progression in the melodic architecture. Subtle movements rise and spread as the sounds of humanity blanket the music for a brief moment. Cold synthesiser rushes the sides as a culmination of expression ensues. You can buy music from Ummagma on Bandcamp You can follow Ummagma on Facebook and Instagram Want to donate to help Ukraine? Here is the Government Guidance.  Rise Bailey Rise Inside Featuring The Guitar Ninja Buckinghamshire Delivering the top-drawer silver each time with a run of successful EPs and singles, Rise Bailey Rise is back with the latest entry.
