Review: Forte – Brighton gets Goosebumps!

dr weekend mr week review
This video caught our attention because it’s a testament to why some people should never do drugs. You know the Snickers ‘you’re not you when you’re hungry’ adverts? Well this video is a similar style only more like ‘you’re not you when you’ve gone on a class A narcotics binge.’ The […]

Dirt Royal – Dr Weekend Mr Week (Video)

art club brighton band new video
The Art Club are a Brighton based post punk band who have been making waves in venues across the city. Their single ‘I am yours’ launches with a video very apt for the band’s style. It’s all angsty and slightly depressing and well… exactly what you expect from post punk. […]

The Art Club – I Am Yours (New Video)

Tuval is a 19 year old song writing muli-instrumentalist producer, who for the last 3 years has kept re-shaping and innovating his music which lurks and haunts Brighton Town. His new video emerges to the surface, taking us along a dreamlike ride of confusion, hysteria, beauty and vigour. In the […]

Tuval – In My Head (New Video)

shoegaze brighton record review
At the time of writing this review I am sitting in my apartment whilst outside Brighton slowly freezes over. The cold January air and dark night sky are enough to make any man forget there ever was a summer, or even a spring for that matter. The world is grey, […]

Colour of Spring – Pillow

DJ Krafty Kuts mix star wars
Krafty Kuts Star Wars Mini Mix by Krafty Kuts on Mixcloud I’ve always rated Krafty Kuts, an inspiration for my own DJing (although I must hastily add I never got near his scratching and cutting skills, even when I practised for days). This fantastic little mix should get everyone in […]

Krafty Kuts – Star Wars Mini Mix

SmallPrint Recordings Integer - Rivière Noire
We are big fans of the Brighton based label Smallprint. This EP from Integer is a real testament to their ‘future:ambient’ sound, however there is definitely a little more energy in this release. The tracks have a sense of urgency and pace, we have gone from lounging in a space […]

Integer – Rivière Noire EP

I like this (obviously, why else would it be an editors pick?). It reminds me of some adventure through a forest. Haunting and yet homely. It’s blissful folk music, so go enjoy it. Find more of his stuff here: conneryoungblood.com

Editors Pick: Conner Youngblood – The Birds of Finland

flamingosis music review blog brighton
Do you remember Hey Arnold? Well this chilled out ambient hip-hop tune has all the feel of that brilliant 90’s cartoon’s soundtrack stuffed in to it, which is why I assume the producer gave it such an apt name. Sit back, relax and enjoy this, or come up with a freestyle […]

Editors Pick: Flamingosis – Football Head

My birthday gift from a good friend? Well he sent me a link to this. A wonderfully ambient hour of music, simply by playing the Jurassic Park theme at a 1000% slower speed. Escapism at its finest. Enjoy!

Editors Pick: Jurassic Park Theme (1000% Slower)

brihton music Farrow band
I like reviewing singles, especially when they pull such a strong image to the front of my mind. I also like relaxing feel good music, and luckily that is what we have here. Slow Down is the music playing as you sleepily drive home after a weekend at your favourite festival. Driving […]

Farrow – Slow Down

New Moon Brighton Music Review
We have an audio visual treat for you all today. Common Tongues have a new single titled ‘New Moon’ complete with a video. The gif above pretty much captures the gist of the video. Two women have a big fight, but it’s all in reverse you see. There are flashbacks to […]
