China is a fairly closed shop culturally, which is why I’m even more blown away by stumbling across Fishdoll’s new LP. It’s a stunning blend of dreamy Mandarin soul vocals with forward thinking beats & back to the future orchestral electronica

Now a couple of releases from some old heads:
Ambient is a broad church, so let UK chillout pioneer & still chief ambassador Mixmaster Morris @nubient, & @Coldcut be your guide with this stylistically undulating tour of this most soothing of genres. It’s a Sunday suitable masterclass.
Lovely dreamy electronica from two UK e-legends, @MikeParadinas & @MrsJynxMusic on @Planetmurecords, as they eschew frills & fancy, take a bunch of classic sounds & assembly them with a purity, simplicity & effectiveness only the experienced know how.

So shameless self promotion time - it’s Hour of Solitude release day I’m so happy to be putting this music from Blue Mantra Rhymes (@edcookerhymes) into the world, It’s a microdosed, sweet & sour, Anglo-Thai folk gem from an Englishman living in Bangkok it really is a lovely album & a genuine start to finish listen. I hope you enjoy it.

That would be great, there’s a good taste of the LP on the Bandcamp. Nice one. 
This is a great playlist. Top accompaniment to the very boring set of meeting minutes I have been writing for the past hour.

The new LP from Kizzy Crawford sits in a classic AOR, funky folk, pop tinged, nu-soul sweet spot, given extra depth by some subtle production twists & a psychedelic tingle, not to mention an exotic air by the rarely heard Welsh language vocals. Simultaneously fresh & familiar.

Raw, lo-fi, slow, swaggering, distorted, deviant rock and roll from Escape-ism for those moments when you just need to tell the world where to go.

Familiar Americana sounds lend a reassuring arm as Old Saw bend the pedal & lap steel, fiddle, banjo, bells, guitar & pipe organ to go with some spiritual dimensional flow rather than try to stamp their will on it for @lobbyart_ . A cosmic ride & a half.
