‘Sometimes God will put tests in front of you…’ 

which is exactly what happened this year to UK 

artist Snybz aka MC Snye-B. One test after another 

is what he recently experienced. 


It started one night after one of his performances. He 

received a call from his sister who informed him that his 

father had a heart attack and was in the hospital not doing 

well. As he was on the freeway rushing to the hospital, he 

experienced car trouble which caused him to be stranded 

aside the road waiting for a tow. After a few hours, he was 

finally able to get to the hospital to see his father. It was 32 

days before his father was able to come home. 

A few short days after his father’s heart attack his young son 

fell ill. He became dehydrated and lethargic, he had to be 

rushed to emergency. His son was admitted to hospital for 

three long and scary days. Not long after that he experienced 

the dissolution of his relationship with his son’s mother. 

All of this had a significant impact on his own wellbeing. He 

found himself thrust into a battle with depression. He was 

able to seek help and find solace in the support from his 

friends and family. He was also able to let his feelings out 

through his pen, writing his own story in ‘Exhale’. 

He then tried to take a step back and see what all this was 

trying to teach him. What was the lesson he could learn from 

all this? He determined that he needed to be mindful of what 

he needed. For a lack of a better way of putting it, self-care/ 

self-love. 

His advice to others is to remember that pain is only 

temporary. If you spend too much time focusing on the 

negative, you will miss seeing all your blessings. You will miss 

the silver lining. When life gives you punches, get right back 

up and punch back ten times harder! This is exactly what he 

has done. He has move forward making positive 

improvements, even starting his own business! 

He is optimistic that his creative juices have been rekindled 

and we will see more from him soon.

My Crazy Summer 

The last weeks of the summer were quite hectic for me, 10 flights in less 

than 2 weeks, from north to south, from east to west. 

NORWAY 

29 August: My flights to the most northern part of Norway, Kirkenes… I 

have been asked to play at the club night for Grenselos Festivalen, the 

biggest festival of the north of Norway. It takes a full day to get all the 

away up north from Amsterdam to Oslo, from Oslo to Kirkenes, with a 5 

hour stopover in Oslo. I always love to go for a walk there and check out 

the town and nature. Weird detail, at the end of my set, from 23:00 to 

02:00 I step outside and it's still light. I play here at least twice a year and 

they always take great care of me. Amazing food, champagne and a 

weekend full of fun and crazy Norwegians! I flew back on Sunday. 

3 - 5 September: I am home to work on new music and do the stuff I need 

to do at home. 


CYPRUS 

6 September: It's time to fly again. This time I play in Kyrenia in the 

northern (Turkish) part of Cyprus. This is a big gig, in the famous Cage 

club, voted as the best club of Turkey and North Cyprus. I am headliner 

on the Friday and it's always very exciting to play here. Normally I stay at 

the hotel that belongs to the club, but this time I stayed at my friend's 

place. He has a great house with pool, BBQ and a Playstation. I arrive on 

Thursday night and I kicked his ass with FIFA a few times. 

7 September: During the day we spent most of the time in and around the 

pool with a few more friends and a few cold beers. Around 22:00 we 

hook up with the managers for a really nice dinner with way too much 

food. My set starts at 01:30 till 03:00 and it was amazing! The famous 

AKON came over to check out my set as well. 

8 September: More good food, more FIFA, more cold beers and more pool 

time. 

9 September: In the morning I fly back home, with a short stopover in 

Athens. Another weekend full of great memories. 

10 September: I can rest and prepare for the next trip: Ibiza! 

13

IBIZA 

11 September: Another flight! This time Ibiza. I've got the good news that 

my friend will join me on this trip. We booked an extra day and a car, so 

we could enjoy some of the island as well. After a very turbulent flight 

we arrive at Ibiza around 13:00, time to pick up the car and check in at 

the hotel. We have the rest of the day to chill and we do some great 

sightseeing like Cafe del Mar sunset, Mambo and some nice beaches. My 

set starts at midnight at the legendary Es Paradis, I played some of my 

new tracks and it all went well. The next day we had a full day of free 

time and we spent most of it on a few beaches. At night we had VIP 

tickets for Armin in Hï, so we went to see the show. Great thing he played 

my new track during his set. 

I am looking forward to next summer already!

An Introduction To Mac Miller 

After the passing from apparent drug overdose at his studio city home In 

California in September of Pittsburgh born and raised rapper, artist and 

producer Mac Miller, it seems fitting to say a few words about him. As a 

relatively late starter to Mac Miller, I’ll admit I only became aware of Mac's 

work after the release of the excellent laid-back groovy track ‘Dang’ featuring 

Anderson.Paak. I soon realised this young 20-something year old white rapper 

had a lot more about him than just rapping. Producing under the name Larry 

Fisherman amongst other pseudonyms, real name Malcolm McCormick could 

play bass, lead guitar and drums. He was an excellent keyboardist, produced 

his own beats and sang, all by his early twenties. 

In 2010, he signed a record deal with Pittsburgh-based indie record label 

Rostrum Records and released his debut album ‘Blue Slide Park’ which was 

released on November 8, 2011. In July 2011 the title was announced, having 

been named after a section of Frick Park (which is known as Blue Slide Park) in 

Pittsburgh. The park section is at the corner of Beechwood Blvd and Nicholson 

Street which is just two blocks from Taylor Allderdice High School where Miller 

attended, and was his childhood hang out. 

Many people in Europe only really knew Mac Miller from dating Ariana Grande 

but had he not passed on 6th September 2018, with his ever constantly 

evolving music style, Mac Miller could do it all. And, I’m sure he would have 

undoubtedly gone on to be a massive worldwide artist having already 

achieved house-hold name status in the USA. But, unfortunately it seems Mac 

Miller finally lost his battle with drugs, depression and demons which he 

talked openly about in many interviews. Even with all his problems, it did not 

stop Mac releasing five studio albums before his untimely death at the age of 

just 26. He has since received countless tributes from other artists in his field 

including Travis Scott, Childish Gambino, Kendrick Lamar, Macklemore, Maroon 

5, Elton John and many more. 

I’ve personally been producing and realising many records since 1991 and I’m 

astonished how much Mac Miller learned and contributed to the music world 

by his mid 20’s. A true talent and engaging character that will be sorely 

missed. 

Who says a white guy can't have soul? 

RIP Malcolm Mccormick, 19 January 1992 - 7 September 2018

Four years ago, legendary DJ/producer Grant Nelson 

launched a new radio station. Little did he know that it 

would not only be a radio station but would also 

become a family of it’s own! 

www.d3ep.com 

www.facebook.com/d3epradio 


It's the 1st of September. 4 years ago today I launched something a little bit 

different, never expecting it to become what it has today. The concept was to 

provide a platform and space for the music I loved without having to resort to 

any form of advertising, sponsors, click bait, customer tracking / analytics or 

any other kind of stuff that I felt (at the time, and even more so now) was 

ruining the once free and open internet. 

I spent months going through mixtapes, literally listened to thousands of 

them from DJs all over the world, searching for what I considered to be some 

of the best undiscovered (in some cases) talent out there. We dropped our first 

beats at 00:00 on the 1st September 2014 and have been non-stop ever since. 

Over a hundred DJs from every corner of the planet and 4 years later and I 

couldn't be any prouder of the D3EP family. Not just for their skills and music 

selection and not just for their endless dedication to deliver the best of the 

best to our ear holes week in, week out, but also for the incredible world-wide 

community that they have created through their raw passion for the music. 

I honestly can't thank everybody involved enough, whether behind the scenes 

or front of house and, of course, to all of you that tune in as it's your ears that 

make this all worthwhile. 

Lastly, watch out for some brilliant new additions to our DJ family over the 

coming weeks and thank you once again for keeping it D3EP! 

- Grant Nelson 

"Those four years have shot by and been a honour to be part of the D3EP 

family. Grant, many thanks for all you hard work in making it happen and 

keeping it rolling. Also massive respect to all the other DJs, past and present, 

and out to all the listeners x" Keith Harmer 

"A personal huge thank you Grant for the opportunity to be 

involved in the station, thanks for all your hard work you've 

put into D3EP, and a big big shout to all the D3EP DJ's and 

very loyal listeners. Big LOVE to the damn lot of you!!! xxxx" 

Jon Manley

"It’s an absolute honour to play on D3EP and be a part of the 

platform that Grant Nelson has provided for us. There’s a 

great feeling and spirit between the DJ’s, and the growth and 

progress of the station has been momentous. The most 

important ingredient though are the listeners, we have a 

fantastic listener base that is really in tune to the station's 

vibe, it’s remarkable to see them travelling and sometimes 

flying over from different countries and continents just to 

hear the D3EP DJ’s play at gigs." James Lee 

“So stoked to be part of this. 4 years have passed so quick. Thanks for giving 

me a platform to play on this great station along with a great lineup of other 

great selectors.” Jonny Wadd 

“I am so honoured to be a part of the D3EP family. I honestly feel that you 

have brought together some of the best people in the world, and not just 

musically, but spiritually as well." Michelle Johnson, listener 

“So proud and excited to be part of the absolute best online 

crew for Proper House’n’Garage! Big up to you my twin 

Andrea and to you boss Grant Nelson." Nycks 

"D3EP is in our blood now. Its a way of life. Maximum respect to the listeners 

and also Grant Nelson for the work he does behind the scenes to keep this 

thing running," Braaks 

"Such an honour to spin with the D3EP family!!! Thank you all.” Knox 

"An HONOUR to be a small part of it Grant Nelson. It's a brilliant station. More 

power to you for doing it." David Dunne 




When I heard Acoustic Truth’s recent song ‘You Make Me Great’, I was once 

again moved by their warm, harmonized voices. They fit together like a hand 

and glove. 

When Ryan and Sarah Lendy met at Chicago summer camp for children with 

special needs, neither knew how significant they would become to each other 

and how they would influence the lives of so many others through their music. 

In 2011 these best friends wrote their first song together. After several years 

and several life changes, their songwriting is stronger than ever. No longer 

solely best friends, they are now husband and wife, and mother and father to 

son Jeremiah. 

The pair have always hoped their music would provide hope and inspiration to 

others. Prior to the birth of their son the couple had been touring, playing for 

audiences throughout the United States. Once Jeremiah was born, they took 

some time to focus on their songwriting. They began playing more in their 

church and moving towards outreach for Christ. 

Initially their music while inspirational was mostly secular and they were not 

sure how their established fans would take their transition into the realm of 

contemporary Christian music. Thankfully though, their fans have been very 

supportive and, through the transition, they have gained a tremendous 

number of new fans. It seems people are finding their music, which focuses on 

personal stories and daily struggles, to be a relatable and welcomed influence. 

This choice has been a blessing to this talented team. It has opened the doors 

to many new opportunities which are currently in the works. They have also 

had the opportunity to team up with the Christian network, Gods 411. This 

pairing has been a tremendous help in spreading their music with their latest 

video reaching five million people in a matter of 28 days. They never imagined 

that was possible. However, they continue to remain humble and stress that 

for them it is about the music and about the people. 

The future is looking positive for this uplifting couple with current talks in the 

works surrounding their music and their songwriting. Hopefully, we will see 

some big announcements from them soon.

Raising Awareness Of Mental Illness Through Music 

Mon Frère are just incredible, not only do they support us immensely, but they 

really put love and emotions into their work. Their recent music have taken us 

aback with the theme of mental strength, sharing situations which can relate 

to many of life’s challenges. There is always huge power which we really feel 

deeply and are motivated by. 

‘See What You Mean To Me’ featuring Mileva is another emotive addition to 

their catalog. This single is in difficult support of the Tonic Music for Mental 

Health charity which gives people a voice through music and challenges 

perceptions of mental health. 50% of proceeds go towards the charity. 

Your smile’s a lullaby. A soothing tune distracts my troubled mind. 

It has also been touching to understand the story behind this single, Paul’s 

own battles with OCD. His anxiety changed to relief after further knowledge 

on what was going on, why, how it can be helped and, most importantly, the 

knowledge that he isn’t alone. 


Brighton based pop music producers, Mon Frère, have linked up with the dedicated 

charity, Tonic Music for Mental Health, to help raise awareness and funds. 

Mon Frère were moved to join up with Tonic due to their own experiences in this 

area which can often be mis-understood, mis-represented and under resourced. 

Paul and Matt from Mon Frère said, “As a pop act, we are surrounded by excellent 

musicians and have become very aware of how many of these artists, although 

confident on the outside, often struggle internally with a vast array of different 

mental health issues. So, we investigated this further and found that in a recent 

survey of musicians undertaken by the Help Musicians UK charity, it was discovered 

that 71% of surveyed musicians reported that they have experienced anxiety and 

panic attacks. Another 65% reported they had suffered from depression.” 

“This set us on a journey of thinking about how we can help. We understand that 

mental health issues are not just prevalent in the music industry. Many people suffer 

with serious issues that affect their everyday life. So, we looked at local charities and 

discovered a deeply committed one right on our doorstep. The fact that Tonic is a 

mental health charity which also uses the medium of music seemed the perfect 

organisation to try and link with.” 

Tonic Music for Mental Health is a not-for-profit organisation based in the South- 

Coast of England and established in 2012. Tonic have both Terry Hall (The Specials) 

and Kevin Cummins (Music Photographer) as their patrons. 

Tonic raises awareness and challenges the stigma often associated with mental 

illness through music and art-based events. Tonic organise music workshops, gigs, 

art groups, and community projects throughout the year for people experiencing 

mental health problems. 

In the current climate of austerity measures and government cuts, services available 

to people with mental health problems are often limited and hard to access. Tonic 

aim to support people who may already be receiving input from mental health 

services and those who have not had any previous contact to provide an inclusive 

support network to help people through their recovery. 

Mon Frère are committing half of all the pre-sales of their next single, ‘See what you 

mean to me’ to Tonic. The song was written about the struggles one can face with 

mental health and how the support of others can be so vital. The single, released on 

October 6th, features the stunning vocals of Mileva Corenthin and is a beautiful, 

dreamy pop song from south coast band. If you pre-order the single you will also get 

the chance to get their current single, ‘Caught up Caught out’ for free.

Nick Sarpa 

Twin flames, Light workers, 

Starseeds… all beautiful souls of our 

planet. The time is here. 

AWAKEN. Wipe the sleep from ye 

eyes. Nap time is over. 

Music is an ageless and timeless 

vibration where all is one. Present, 

past or transcending our 3rd 

dimension, music is a world 

language, love the universal healer 

and light the universe itself in 

action. 

In enters passion filled with 

creativity. Drop music in the mix and 

you could quite possibly have a 

purpose to raise vibrations. Given 

our fast-evolving world and 

revolutionary rise of consciousness, 

special souls around the world are 

awakening to their truth. Some are 

doing it with their educated skills, 

some with learned talent and others 

still with inherent ancient gifts. 

What’s important is that they are 

following their hearts. 

Nick Sarpa from Sydney, is a 

promising, authentic and 

passionate emerging DJ with heart. 

He took time out to let us into his 

journey of truth. He’s certainly a DJ 

we enjoyed collaborating with 

down under. Here’s what he has to 

share with the world. 

How did it all start for you? 

My love for music started as a child 

around the age of 5, watching and 

listening to the weekly Video Hit 

Charts. Over the years it continued to 

grow, opening my eyes to different 

genres. It wasn’t until I was 14, that I 

was introduced to Classic Trance & Hi 

NRG which drew me into the idea of 

electronic music, where my passion 

for music really kicked off. The idea 

of being a DJ grabbed me when I went 

to my first nightclub in Sydney, being 

DCM, which allowed me to hear and 

see what a DJ can do to a track, to 

manipulate and blend it with another 

to create a form of art. I wanted to be 

that person. 

What do you most love playing? 

Currently I’m journeying through 

Tech House & Techno as I’ve new 

found love for it and want to continue 

to focus and grow in these two genres. 

However, if I ever get the chance to 

go back to my roots and play 

occasionally with the unique sound 

of HI NRG, Hard House and Classic 

Trance, then this is where all the fun 

is. 

Favourite food? 

Being a BIG lover of food, I really enjoy 

tasting every type of cuisine, 

however being Italian, I cannot say no 

to a good bowl of pasta and a slice of 

pizza. 

Who’s your muse in the music world? 

Growing up with music, I 


27

encountered several idols as my love 

of music evolved, starting with Paul 

Van Dyk & Tiesto in their classic days 

from 1998 - 2004. But now I get 

majority of my inspiration from the 

one and only king, Carl Cox! 

“Music gives a soul to the 

Universe, wings to the mind, 

flight to the imagination 

and life to everything.” 

Plato 

How would you describe the dance 

scene in Sydney? 

The dance scene in Sydney is still 

continuing to grow after there was a 

setback with laws. This caused a lot 

of venues to close. However, due to 

the growing popularity of Tech 

House & Techno, parties are still 

going very strong, attracting large 

crowds, which gives hope for 

the Sydney scene to turn around 

dramatically. 

Favourite colour? 

I always contemplate between blue 

and red but I'd say red is the one that 

always gets me. 

What single night out has been the 

most memorable for you? 

As a DJ, my most memorable night to 

date is the Halloween party I hosted 

in Sydney. The vibe inside the place 

was screaming as the venue was 

almost at full capacity. What made 

this even more special was the crowd 

being in the Halloween spirit, coming 

dressed for the occasion. My recent 

visit to the magical island of Ibiza has 

to be my highlight. Even though I 

wasn’t behind the decks this time, 

being a part of the crowd for Jamie 

Jones’s Paradise party at DC-10 will 

be something I’ll never ever forget. 

What are your future plans for your 

music career? 

My future plans for my career are to 

continue to expose myself to the 

world. I will be going on tour from 

December, journeying my way 

through different parts of the world 

and sharing my love and passion for 

music so then one day I can reach my 

ultimate dream, being on that stage 

with the king of Techno. I also want 

to produce my own music and have 

my own record label. 

What is your advice to emerging 

talent, and how can they set aside 

any fears and pursue their dreams 

with courage? 

My advice is to be authentic and not 

follow the crowd. If you want to be 

recognised for something, stick with 

your own style and idea, and persist 

with it. Staying focused on your goals 

is the key, and making small steps 

every day. It can be a bit nerveracking 

in front of crowds, but feel 

the fear and do it anyway, it gets 

easier. 


Favourite holiday destination? 

Every part of the world I have visited 

has its own unique thing about it, 

whether it’s Queenstown for snow 

season, or Ibiza for parties, or Phuket 

for the beaches. I do enjoy the 

lifestyle and adventures that arise in 

Asia, so this would have to be my 

choice for now. 

What are the things bug you about 

the DJ scene? 

Nothing, because every problem or 

issue is just an opportunity to learn 

and grow. 

Name one track that never gets old 

for you no matter how many times 

you hear it? 

The one track that will never get old 

for me has to be Kamillian – Guidance 

(Space Brothers Mix). For me this is 

something I would hear every 

weekend in the nightclubs in Sydney 

and it would never disappoint. 

quite the ideal to me. His obsessive 

passion for music is what I see in 

myself. One of very many reason that 

stands out to me is the way he has 

always stuck to his own style and 

persisted with it and not followed 

anyone else's trend. 

What festivals would you most like 

to play at? 

There are so many music festivals all 

over the world but if I had to choose 

3, I would like to be a part of 

Awakenings Festival in Amsterdam, 

Burning Man in Las Vegas & Zurich 

Street Parade.

If you could get eternally stuck in 

one year's music scene, which year 

would that be? 

I would love to be taken back to the 

year of 1999. To me, all genres of 

music, whether it was hip hop, rap, 

house, italodance, trance, eurodance 

were all at their peak. 

Who do you aspire to and who 

influenced you the most? 

I would have to say Carl Cox is the 

guy I aspire to the most and would 

also be my greatest influence. His 

journey from a young age has been

TRACK OF THE MONTH: 

'Ladders' by Mac Miller f t Jon Batiste 

& Stay Human 

‘Ladders’ opens with an arpeggiated eerie synth 

before breaking Into retro style keyboards with Mac 

singing in acapella style. A funky four to the floor 

disco beat drops. Funk guitars and 80’s style synth 

chord stabs get things moving along nicely, A 

cool laid-back rap and singing vocal by Mac really 

makes this track come alive in the verses 

finished off In the chorus with a great stand-out 

chic style horn and brass section. 

I particularly love the live version which featured 

on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, 14th August 

2018. Other favourite’s of mine from the Swimming 

album Include the intro track ‘Come Back To Earth’. 

There is another cracking live version from the Hotel 

Cafe of ‘ Hurt Feelings ’, which Mac posted on his 

own Youtube channel one day before he passed 

away, Another awesome track is ‘Whats The Use’ 

and, of course, his new single 

‘Self Care ’ which has a great message and video.

‘Our Reflections’ by MBX is mesmerising. The complex meld of emotions are 

perplexing, the smooth yet intense atmosphere captivates you. The track is 

quite understated with a seemingly simply structure until you close your eyes 

and really let it penetrate deep into your skin and your feel the incredible 

moving energy. 

Since blasting onto the OHM Music roster this past March, MBX has stolen the 

show, leading the way as we climbed aboard for our ethereal quest to the stars 

on 'Expanse' and inviting us to join him on a vivid expedition through the 

'Valley Of Time'. As you make your way back down to reality, it would be wise 

to keep your bags packed because the journey has only just begun. As an 

advocate for generating music that pulls relentlessly at the soul's most 

profound desires, MBX stands firm as our beloved mood setter. Taking the 

trance and progressive industry by storm, he has set us adrift in a whirlwind of 

honest emotion. Now fully hitting his stride, MBX pushes his vision one step 

deeper, to tell the tale of 'Our Reflections'! 

Come alongside MBX once again as you set sail over crystalline waters, 

peering down with intrigue into the great abyss. Watch as your reflection 

smiles back, solidifying your reality on this planet as the sweet effervescent 

rhythm formulates a divine sense of belonging. Like a soft whisper, the angelic 

melody soothes every fiber of your spirit as you are lifted into a pure state of 

euphoria. And as you reach out to bond imagery with self-being, suddenly you 

understand the great attribute that lies deep within life's unique design. You 

are one of a kind, both fragile and strong, both living and conceptualized. This 

is the truth told through 'Our Reflections'.

‘Queen of Hearts’ by Franko Fraize is packed with 

attitude and honesty. The snappy and tuneful lyrical 

flow gets you hooked. The smooth chorus is really 

lovely and warming. The bubbly beat kicks in and 

compliments the spirit in vocals really well. 


S H E ’ S P ROV I N G I N N O CE N CE I S B E AU T I F U L . 

CU PI D ’ S S T U PI D W H E N T H E D U T Y CALLS . 

Eloquently piecing together a portrait depicting the life of his female 

protagonist, Franko Fraize releases his breathtaking single ‘Queen of 

Hearts’. Plagued by insecurities and riddled with self-doubt his powerful 

single echoes a story that delves deep into the life of the leading lady as 

we are taken through her footsteps. The composition of the lyricism, 

combined with the mesmerising production creates an atmospheric 

instrumental that is infused with piano loops and drums patterns. 

‘Queen of Hearts’ is the third single to be released from his forthcoming 

‘Lights and Colour’ EP, due for release this Autumn. It comes off the back 

of his feel good single ‘Let It Go’, which is a nostalgic dance inspired 

summer scorcher. The first of the three tracks was ‘Side By Side’, which 

received a nod from 1Xtra DJ Mistajam who said: “I’ve been keeping my 

eye on him for a while but this is possibly his best track to date!”. 

Unconfined by genre Franko Fraize’s musical diversity is evident through 

his music and the last three releases plays homage to his eclectic taste. 

Having quite the legacy to his name already, the Norfolk native sits high 

on many radars in the music world. His prestigious Maida Vale session for 

the BBC with Huw Stephens, support from Mistajam and BBC Introducing 

sits alongside a wealth of both solo and collaborative material that spans 

a motley range of genres. From releases on Hospital Records with Fred V 

& Grafix to the Loadstar album, tours with Mike Skinner and Rudimental 

through to live performances at the biggest festivals in the world, 

including BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend, Reading & Leeds, The Great 

Escape, Tramlines and Outlook festival in Croatia this September, it is 

evident that Franko Fraize has a talent that is in high demand and as sets 

to deliver his best music so far, his journey looks set to reach new highs.

Konektiv presents an interesting set of 

progressive tracks. ’Universos’ has a 

whirring, somewhat extraterrestrial feel. 

’Aria’ is wonderfully intricate with a deep 

and enchanting atmosphere. 

After a hiatus of several years since his 

astonishing debut album ‘Synchronicity 

365’ on Molecule, Daniel Mahuad is back 

with two 120bpm cuts of his inimitable & 

unique progressive sound, refined for 

contemporary sound-systems. Think 

experimental & intuitive sound-design, 

immersive & intelligent arrangements, clubfriendly 

fat bass lines propelling filtered 

drops & swells – and you get the picture.

‘The Early Tapes’ by XXXV gold fingers is out of this world. 

Piercing retro synths and mood-shifting warps swoop around 

flitty minimal percussion. There is a real sense of wonder and 

experimentation in this collection with ‘Moondown’, ‘San’, 

‘PianoGL’ and ‘L’arco’ being a few highlights. 

Italian-producer XXXV gold fingers, a.k.a. Marco Erroi, presents 

his second full length and his first release on Ràkale, the 

italian label run by Dodi Palese. 

Owner of the Common Series project – a label which only puts 

out his own music – Marco has delivered 9 tracks recorded 

between 2003 and 2007: “We fell in love with the music at 

first listen. The fact that they were created more than 10 years 

ago confirms the futuristic vision of this talented artist, that 

we have been following since his first steps.” 

For this project, the label also involved the Italian illustrator 

Pierpaolo Gaballo, who has been entrusted for the cover of the 

album, “to better represent the musical journey through 

radiant colors and forms. Get ready to travel into Marco’s 

world, have a good listen!”

The ‘Syvdoh II’ album is a retro meld comprising of psychedelic synthesisers, 

tuneful guitars and a hazy mellow voice. ‘Black Museum’ has a classic and 

timeless sound, the distinct beats gently encouraging your body to move. 

‘Vienna 1913’ makes you smile upon the first hearing of the playful guitar riff 

and the lively pace, the variants of the vocal further exude this passion. There 

is an interesting turning point where the guitar is dropped, the mood changes 

and the vocals really shine. ‘I Want My Lover’ has a unique muted tone with 

only the percussion together with a hard guitar strum holding stable strength. 

As the track progresses, it almost feels like the sound takes over and washes 

over the character and his sadness. ‘Hiroshima Seizures’ is a powerful moment 

with deep emotion filling you with every guitar chord and vocal note. It is 

simply beautiful. 

SYVDOH is the brainchild of former Sea Kings Brian Canning and Ralph Hector 

(BBC 6Music, Radio Scotland, Louder Than War, Vive Le Rock) who’ve 

collaborated, written and produced Syvdoh I & II between Glasgow and 

Monmouth in South Wales. 

Syvdoh II is pop sounds mixed with political and social comment. Shades of 

the big guns run throughout; Bowie, Prince and Springsteen, but with a more 

contemporary twist of Sleaford Mods meeting Field Music. 

The album is packed to the rafters with big concepts; gang culture, heaven, 

death, mental health, Leveson, the press, the void, mind control, serial killers, 

homophobia, death camps, slave ships, psychics, Hiroshima... so in short a right 

barrel of laughs. 

There is a selection of guest appearances, notably the author Denise Mina 

(Winner of the 2017 McIlvanney Prize for Scottish Crime Book of the Year). It’s 

dark in there, but the pop sounds bring the light.

‘Ganesa’ by Tali Muss is a fantastic 

blend of moods and cultures. The 

steady progressive beat takes in, 

there is a rising atmosphere together 

with subtle soft charms. The dark, 

gritty bass drops in. This is contrasted 

against stunning middle-eastern 

instrumentation. 

Tali Muss is riding high after his last 

release with Transpecta, Rain was met 

with waves of positive feedback. Indeed, 

Tali has been riding that particular wave 

for some time now picking up high 

profile fans such as Gareth Emery, Judge 

Jules and Jaytech to name a few. Ganesa 

bursts from the speakers with 

effervescence. Middle-Eastern influences 

mix playfully with scattergun sweeps 

and sonic touches to drive the track 

along eventually climaxing with a 

powerful second section. On the remix, 

Matan Caspi uses his considerable studio 

skills to craft a deeper, soulful, 

powerfully emotional ride driven 

forward by a delicate xylophone lead 

line.

‘Lost In My Mind’ by RÜFÜS DU SOL is powerful. The steady pace is paired with 

a mild yet gripping vocal. The huge atmospheric shifts drag you into the deep 

melancholy, it seeps into your veins and you feel yourself getting lost. Walking 

and the sky keeps falling down. The middle section brings the dystopia of high, 

warped synths. And I can’t escape it. 

One of the world’s most celebrated live electronic bands RÜFÜS DU SOL share 

the third offering, ‘Lost In My Mind’ from their forthcoming album ‘SOLACE’. 

Highlighted as one of the most ambitious and gritty tracks off the album, it is 

honoured today as Zane Lowe’s World Record with Apple Music Beats 1, and 

comes as the band grace the cover of September legendary dance music 

publication, Mixmag. ‘Lost In My Mind’ puts forth a pent up desire for escapism 

and a true grasp for analogue sound-design, confirming ‘SOLACE’ as the band’s 

most mature and thought provoking effort to date. 

“It feels like a new RÜFÜS. We are inspired by our new home out here, by the 

people we’ve met and the music we’ve heard along the way. We’ve got a 

refreshed sense of ambition and cannot wait to share our creation with the 

world.” RÜFÜS DU SOL 

‘Lost In My Mind’ arrives in the midst of RÜFÜS DU SOL’s largest run of 

headlining live shows. The band just wrapped a triumphant run in Europe with 

sold-out shows at London’s O2 Forum and Manchester’s Club Academy. 

Heading out to embark on a US tour, the trio return back to Europe for a string 

of dates in late-November, early-December across Glasgow, Manchester, 

Birmingham and London alongside Amsterdam, Paris, Cologne and Berlin. This 

news arrives alongside the much-anticipated release of the tracklist for the 

album ‘Solace’, outlining nine anthems sure to continue the journey set forth 

by ‘No Place’, ‘Underwater’, and ‘Lost In My Mind’.

The ‘Everything EP’ by Hectic is a fun blend of styles. The title track is 

comprised of addictive vocals and a moody dubstep production. The 

second song ‘Giving In’ is an intriguing contrast of moods with a nifty 

balance of light and dark. The smooth atmosphere and piano chords are 

paired with a sassy vocal, this all is then bounced against harder bass 

sections. Slow Graffiti adds a choppy twist to ‘Everything’ for the final 

track.

‘Breakdown’ by Kandace Springs is stunning. Her vocal range 

pulls at your heart strings with a soft, elegance entwined 

around the strong and passionate main section. You’re my 

saving grace. The love and emotion is felt greatly. Just say 

you’ll stay here. The subtle production through the verses allow 

the voice to shine, whilst the heightened depth of the chorus is 

complimented well with a fuller structure. 

“A voice that could melt snow” PRINCE 

Singer and pianist Kandace Springs has released her remarkable 

second album Indigo (Blue Note), a 13-track LP of originals and 

choice covers that showcases the full breadth of Kandace’s 

artistry from smoldering R&B (“People Make the World Go 

‘Round” “6 8”) to gorgeous jazz ballads (“Unsophisticated” 

featuring Roy Hargrove) to the pop songcraft of “Breakdown” 

and “Don’t Need The Real Thing.” 

All but two tracks are produced by drummer/producer Karriem 

Riggins (Common, Erykah Badu) with additional production 

by Jamie Hartman (Rag'n'Bone Man), Jimmy Hogarth (Amy 

Winehouse, Corinne Bailey Rae), Jimmy Harry (Madonna, P!nk), 

and Evan Rogers and Carl Sturken (Rihanna). Indigo is available 

on vinyl, CD, download, and streaming services. 

With this new album, Springs continues to develop and grow as 

singer and a songwriter in her own right. In 2014, Springs 

attracted the attention of the late PRINCE and the music icon 

invited her to perform with him at Paisley Park for the 30th 

anniversary of Purple Rain. He also gave her his custom-made 

leather jacket. Even more vibrant and soulful than her last 

record, Indigo truly demonstrates why she deserves to be at the 

forefront of modern jazz – “I would like to be known as one of 

the younger people that are keeping jazz and soul alive and 

vibrant” she says. “I love the realness of jazz and soul.”

The ‘Silence EP’ by SPECTRASOUL is wonderfully moving. Soft and 

airy vocals dance effortlessly between the dark, harsh bass. The 

gentle, melodic piano movements in ‘Faithful’ are paired with a 

passionate trust in love. Stunning strings add beauty to ‘Silence’ 

featured LSB. A mesmerising set of songs. 

Having had a busy 2018 Spring/Summer season performing at clubs 

and festivals all across the world, the drum & bass duo SpectraSoul 

return with brand new music to continue the Ish Chat Music saga, 

picking up from where their critically acclaimed album 'How We Live' 

left off. 

The ‘Silence EP’ features four hugely in demand tracks that have been 

making waves during these past months, from the brooding 

sparseness of ‘Untitled Horn’ to the soul searching of ‘Faithful’, this 

is yet another essential SpectraSoul selection.

‘A Good Life’ by Louise Golbey is a wonderfully vibrant 

song, reflecting on life and seeing how good it is. The 

soulful grooves together with the charming, sweet voice 

just fills you with joy. I truly believe it will be alright. 

There is such warmth, beauty and positivity bursting 

through. 

Having played alongside Ed Sheeran at one of his very 

first London gigs at Kentish Town’s iconic Abbey Tavern 

and also at his last surprise intimate show at The Green 

Note in Camden, singer/songwriter Louise Golbey is 

releasing ‘A Good Life’, a summer disco pop jam cowritten 

with Danny Toeman and produced by Eames. The 

track is the lead single from Louise’s new project with 

Eames which will culminate in a full EP towards the end 

of this year. 

Louise has shared the stage with global superstars such 

as Katy B, Jessie J, Sam Smith, Paloma Faith, Lianne La 

Havas and Mr Hudson. She was recently Caffe Nero’s 

Artist of The Month (following Jack Savoretti) and has 

had radio support from BBC Radio 2, Radio 1Xtra, BBC 6 

Music, BBC London, Jazz FM and Mi-Soul. She is one of 

the most in-demand openers on the UK Live circuit, 

performing to 6,000 people ahead of the legendary 

George Benson at a Kenwood House Picnic Concert, 

landed support slots for En Vogue and Roberta Flack at 

the Indigo2, a sold out UK tour with The Stylistics, Roy 

Ayers, Omar and Kenny Thomas and Barack Obama’s 

favourite artist – Anthony David at Bush Hall. She has 

played at Isle of Wight Festival and Glastonbury (on the 

BBC Introducing stage), recorded at Maida Vale studios 

and has performed at legendary venues such as Ronnie 

Scotts, the Jazz Cafe & the London Jazz Festival.

’Junglesound: Revenge Of The Bass - 15 Years Of BBK’ is a must-have 

compilation for D&B fans. It features timeless tracks including ‘Goddust’ 

by DJ Fresh, ‘Can’t Get Enough’ by Camo & Krooked, ‘Bigger Than Hip Hop 

UK’ by Dread Prez & WTF?! and ’Crazy World’ by J Majik & Wickaman. The 

album also presents a few fresh and exciting tracks. ‘New Wave’ by 

Brookes Brothers is really lovely, light and fun with a feelgood aspect and 

lively beats. ‘Keep Your Head Up’ by Roska x DJ Fresh has a slight UK 

Garage connotation with the bumpy beat and vocal cut, this is twisted 

against a big rough bass sound. 

Breakbeat Kaos returns to the forefront of the bass music scene in 2018 

celebrating 15 years since its inception. Founded by DJ Fresh and Adam F 

the BBK brand has been synonymous with some of the biggest talents in 

electronic music worldwide, founding many a career. ’Junglesound: 

Revenge Of The Bass (15 Years Of Breakbeat Kaos)’ encapsulates the 

label essence, showcasing just a few of DJ Fresh’s favourites plus several 

brand new exclusives and remixes that pave the way for the continued 

return of BBK. 

“When I started Breakbeat Kaos with Adam F we wanted to start a label 

which showcased the most memorable drum and bass moments. We 

never expected the success of Pendulum and other label cohorts such as 

Brookes Brothers, Baron, Nero and Chase & Status but we tried to give 

them the best platform we could. After two number one and ten top ten 

records I wanted to give something back to the D&B scene and celebrate 

15 years of BBK in the only way we know how... bangers!” DJ Fresh 2018
