Genre:Jazz
Artist:Maurice and the Beejays
Album:The View From Then Again

First released in 2030 this album ushered in what is now known as the NOSTALGIADELIKA era.

Originally a medicinal red wine and opium tincture, Nostalgiadelika became a popular cocktail with the infamous Cooden Beach Set*.

As the sun sat on the beaches of the South coast of England during those long hot summers the in crowd would gather and reminisce about the things they never did during the lock downs of the early 20s.

*a notorious group of ageing swingers living in and around Bexhill on Sea whose favourite haunt was the Cooden Beach Hotel where Maurice and the Beejays had a residency.

Description:atmospheric, instrumental soundtracks for daydreaming
Genre:New Age
Artist:Marcos H Bolanos
Album:Music for No Film

'Music for no film' is a collection of 8 tracks inspired by cinema. Orchestral elements merge with electronic music to evoke emotions in the listener's mind: fear, sadness, melancholy… But above all, the music composed and produced by Marcos H. Bolaños wants to evoke cinematic images, so filmmakers and video producers can get inspiration from it. In this collection you will find from Hollywood-esque trailers to 'traveling to outer space' kind of tracks, as well as mysterious, romantic or terror instrumental passages. Hopefully you find here the inspiration for your next blockbuster.

All music composed, produced, mixed and mastered by Marcos H. Bolaños.

Description:defiantly homemade pop rock music
Genre:Alt Rock
Artist:in giro
Album:demonstrate (from where to Now - volume 2)

Our first release, demonstrate, volume 2 of the from where to Now cycle, is an abstract protest rock opera. A "dram rock" concept album with gaplessly flowing tracks, the suite follows "characters" with both lyrical and musical descriptions that repeat and evolve. We're playing our parts in relation to each other in hopes of waking up, balancing, and breaking out together; singing to set down our baggage long enough to catch a glimpse of something more, something pure. An examination of society, culture, and privilege, demonstrate is a critique turned meditation turned struggle for freedom, both personal and collective.



Description:Dub, reggae, electronica, downtempo, chill out, trip hop
Genre:Electronica
Artist:Dubmaster Conte
Album:Sonic Reflections

It is with much delight that Dubmaster Conte (from Entheogenic Sound Explorers and Liquid Rainbow) presents you his new solo album, Sonic Reflections.

Get ready for an album full of rhythm and musical might. Dubmaster Conte takes you on a journey through his memories, such as a mountain hike, the bridges of Amsterdam, the wonder of nature. His reflections on these experiences and his love for music flowed into every single of these tracks. Come travel back in time with him and listen to how his reflections cause the sound spheres to evolve.

This album draws from a variety of different musical styles, including Electronica, Jazz, Trip Hop, Blues, D'n'B and House. Underlying this always always are a dubby and ambient influence, and creative mixing.

All Songs played, arranged & recorded by Dubmaster Conte
