Past week, in the UK, we had the first ever National Album Day, which brought the focus on the fate of the format inside the modern music business, where it’s constantly mistreated on one side by listeners’ bad habits, and on the other side by streaming service algorithms. The same fate in my humble opinion is pending on compilations. Outclassed by the (apparently)…

On a par with the Santana riff in DJ Khaled’s ‘Wild Thoughts’, ‘Do You’ is my favourite example of a guitar sample used in the most bizarre, unforeseen way. Thinking that something created by a Lebanese band has become one of the sexiest Trap anthems of all time, always blows my mind. How, then, someone could just think to remix it, is…

Two collaborations, one original and one remix: this is the winning combination with which Rohaan has won the pot in the last thirty days. This has been such a magistral play from the UK producer who, confident of his hand, has put everything he had on the table with a risky all-in. First card revealed, first hit scored. Rohaan really has…

As you probably noticed, SoundCloud has been tinged with yellow in the last few days. Why you may wonder? Because its community is celebrating its champion, its beloved prince, its brightest rising star, chromonicci, and his sparkling debut, Bounce Back. With all the madness that went down during his year, from the infamous robbery to his graduation, this project has…

Pink clouds, sparkling sunbeams, warm breezes and summer sunsets are some of the most beautiful things you can experience on this little Planet and they teach us a very universal truth: with simple things you can create the extraordinary. True to this law, it seems like Soulse! has kept these words in mind while creating ‘One Love’. We’re far aware…

Here’s a man who doesn’t like middle grounds, compromises, shades of any kind and jumps from black to white with extreme nonchalance and pure grace. This and much more is soulecist. For those unfamilair, besides his renowned work behind the curtains for Above and Below the surface, he’s quite a prolific producer with a long-time musical duality. With a little…

Following the butterfly effect’s teachings, a smile in the right moment or a positive emotion shared in the right place, can change the course of history and turn this Planet in a better place. If so, think about how much good jack cates has done and will do to the World with his latest release ‘Monday 9pm’. don’t tell me…

Cozway and Jadu Dala, name a more iconic duo, I dare you. The success of their collaborations is always a safe bet and the results are killer combonations that never miss to ensure a KO at first listen. ‘Nightshade’ kicks off with a cinematic intro. It’s a sinister and menacing welcome but also classy like a Bengali tiger. Without knowing,…

I don’t know about you guys, but I’m not sure I’m going to survive this one hell of a week. We’re in the middle of the summer, sun is hitting as hard as in the Gobi desert and tons of incredible heavy music is popping up everywhere. Adiidas, FRQ NCY, Great Dane, Yookie, Holly, all are seriously microwaving my brain…

Thinking about it, It’s been a good while since Rohaan has deposed the heavy artillery and treated us with something to dance hands in hands with our loved one, or to cry with. In this 2018 his Soundcloud account has truly been a real war zone, worse than a Tarantino movie. However, impossible is nothing and indeed seems that finally…
