Our November Spotify playlist starts off melancholy with our favourite pick from Ta-Ku’s newest record “Songs To Break Up To”. I Miss You More featuring Atu is hard not to love with its atmospheric drumbeats, piano keys and of course the nostalgia-inducing sampling from some infamous Janet Jackson and Keith Sweat tracks. Not to worry […]

Bit of a bumper SoundCloud playlist this month! There’s something in here for everyone including Kodaline fans. The original Kodaline track, High Hopes isn’t normally my cup of tea ”“ a little too mainstream-radio-boy-band sounding for me ”“ but London producer Romare has really made it his own by picking up the beat, cutting it […]
