Trumun’s SoundCloud Rave

Trumun

The London based DJ and production team known as Trumun has a new SoundCloud page featuring their most recent club mixes. I sat in a hotel room in Maine as I listened to their most recent upload, “Bubble Time #03”. Small town Maine is about as far as you can get from a UK club, […]

Matthew Shell – Todos Son Bienvenidos (Featuring Judy Hunter)

Matthew Shell - Todos Son Bienvenidos (Featuring Judy Hunter) 2

I featured producer Mathew Shell’s work here before. A few weeks ago I reviewed the expertly crafted Smooth Jazz piece “Pilot,” by the aptly named Groove Project. Well, Matt asked me to check out another of his projects; “Todos Son Bienvenidos.” The song is another collaboration between Matt and others from the seemingly endless list of […]

Lavender Blue’s Complex Minimalism

Lavender Blue's Complex Minimalism 4

Gary Burk III Parties on Friday Night

Additionally, there was always a fire. Circling the area were, in a loosely ordered pattern, a series of tailgates. Some had coolers, […]

Eli Lev Sings To The Stars

Eli Lev Sings To The Stars 6

I first became a fan of Washington DC’s Eli Lev a few months ago when he released “Treason”. That song was a funky, acoustic, genre-bending meditation on the singer’s own personal growth. His new song “To the Stars” is a further example of this adventurous artist’s willingingness to alternately embrace and dispose of the themes […]
