Jaysun Silver “No Excuses!” Album

in

New album just out from Brooklyn artist Jaysun Silver!

I had the pleasure of mixing and mastering this album.
Recorded and produced by Stanley John Mitchell (The Drongos) at his studio over the second half of 2024. This is a true neighborhood project with all three of us residing with in several blocks of each other.

“No Excuses!” is a true DIY juggernaut album - ten songs that all clock in at under 20 minutes.

It's raw, it's punk, it's spiky, the lyrics hit hard and honestly, perfect for today's current reality.

Available now on Bandcamp and all streaming services soon.

Mike Cobb & The Crevulators “Bezos”

in

Mike Cobb and the Crevulators present “Bezos” – a new song that deals with the absurdity of late stage capitalism. 

“Bezos” pokes fun at how we fail to see we’re not on the same boat, or spaceship, as billionaires, while humanity speeds towards environmental oblivion. With its AI-generated cover art and pointed lyrics, “Bezos” is a song made for our current crazy times

“What good is the pursuit of money if we’re destroying our planet?” “Earth is the only place we can call home. Let’s fix things here before bringing man-made problems into outer space!”
– Mike Cobb

Diamond Field "Belinda"

in

The new Diamond Field single “Belinda” is out now on all streaming platforms and Bandcamp.

“Belinda” captures the sound of the mid-1980s FM radio with mid-tempo ballad about yearning, lost love. Featuring lush synths, clean 80s electric guitars, powerful vocals from Jenny Bates and a soprano sax solo by Nathan Haines, “Belinda” gives all the feels you'd get from the soundtrack to a John Hughes movie!

Late Slip ‘New York City’

in

Late Slip has released a new single ‘New York City’.

This is a cute wee ode to NYC about being away from the city and all the great memories, hoping to someday return (which she did this year).
Produced by Lewis Psesacov (Best Coast, Nikki Lane, FIDLAR) and featuring Garrett Ray on drums (who's played with Vampire Weekend, Sia and Olivia Rodrigo) 'New York City' is a sultry retro number that Late Slip will be playing live in the new year with a bunch of other new songs from the forthcoming album.

Initial Talk and Roxi Drive 'Dream Lover'

in ,

Luca Discs has just released the new single ‘Dream Lover’ from Initial Talk with Roxi Drive on vocals!

Initial Talk has made massive retro waves with their officially commissioned 1980s-kissed remixes for Kylie Minogue, Dua Lipa, Sia, STEPS, Erasure, The Vivienne, Sam Sparro, KA’BEL and their own original releases.

Initial Talk has collectively racked up 30 million plays on Spotify alone and their remixes recently appeared on physical deluxe editions of Kylie’s “Disco” and Erasure’s “The NEON” albums.

For their latest single ‘Dream Lover’, Initial Talk teams-up with London retro pop/synthwave artist Roxi Drive to deliver an upbeat, feel-good slice of ‘80s pop. Roxi Drive is one of synthwave’s most popular artists having released several albums, hit singles and collaborations delivering her fans a-plenty.

Roxi’s ‘80s chic and vocal chops perfectly combine with Initial Talk’s synthy sensibilities to create a catchy number for dream lovers everywhere. ‘Dream Lover’ comes as a maxi-single with additional mixes by Diamond Field and is the second Initial Talk single to be released by Luca Discs, following on from 2020’s ‘Skydiving’ featuring Sasha Brown.

The four track maxi-single features a remix by Diamond Field and an ‘80s-style 12’ extend version.
