See: Quelle Chris releases new video for WYRM
Taken from his recent album Guns, out now via the ever brilliant Mello group, Quelle Chris has released an accompanying video for the track WYRM (will you remember me?). It’s a track built on this slice of abstract piano jazz, as full of warmth as it is, added to with its slightly hazy production. Over …

Alternative hip-hop artist Chris Orrick has just shared a new video for the title track of his forthcoming album, Out to Sea, available from May 24th via Mello Music Group.

See: Until the Ribbon Breaks – Perspective (ft. Homeboy Sandman) New Video
In my day, and with my technical skills, we didn’t make mixtapes, we made compilation tapes. I used to hover over my favourite radio shows, making endless tapes of unheard of and unremembered bands on the John Peel show, or piles of African music that Andy Kershaw used to play, or Reggae, or just about …

There’s never been a better duo than Morcambe and Wise. Or, as they started out, Earnest Wiseman and Eric Bartholemew.

A …
