  • Watch newest 1017 Records signee Foogiano’s video for single ‘Molly (Baby Mama)’

    Gucci Mane’s latest signee to his label 1017 Records, Foogiano is officially on our radar. With his single ‘Molly (Baby Mama)’, he has already made his mark on the industry. This heavy, in your face track, has a hook that most people with ‘baby mama drama’ would relate to: “Baby mama ain’t shit, she won’t let me see my son!” He beautifully, however, follows up that line by letting everyone know that if they mess with her, they’ll have to deal with him–romantic. This song is fire, and sure to get anyone hype, whether you relate to the lyrics or not! Foogiano has the formula for success, clearly, and we expect to see and hear more fire dropping from him as he advances in his young career.

  • Jazz-Funk musician Mike Casey shares Bernie Sanders-inspired 15/8 original ‘Feel the Bern’: Listen

    If you’re having a lazy weekday like most non-essential Americans who aren’t working right now due to the world health crisis, ‘Feel the Bern’ by American producer, Mike Casey, is a Bernie Sanders-inspired track without a spoken word. If you’re into Funk, or any style of music intended to wake you up inside and motivate you, this one will do it for you. When it comes to what it reminds me of, I like to think of The Cosby Show and The Pink Panther, the British-American comedy-mystery film series.

  • Play Los Angeles producer Christopher Sky’s ambient single ‘Under the Waves’ for a piece of serenity

    If you’re looking to meditate, but your mind is crowded right now, Christopher Sky’s ‘Under the Waves’ might be a way to take you through the thick of it. Cinematic in its conception, and pacifying to one’s soul, the four-minute track, the Los Angeles-based multi-instrumentalist shares his latest. Check out the soundscape that welcomes a piece of serenity for these chaotic times. It’s from his newest album out now ‘What It Is, It Isn’t’.

  • London-based producer Synthonic shares funky new record ‘Disco’: Listen

    I don’t know what came first: The idea to make a song that sounds like it is the theme song for a television show or the music supervisor knocking on Synthonic’s door for ‘Disco’. If you know who Sinbad is, or you watch guys like George Lopez on television, you know which kooky instrumentals fit them best. ‘Disco’ reminds me of them, or one of the court-shows. Mainly at the beginning of the track. The concept of the new Funk project—Synthonic—started in 2018 as a project written, recorded and produced by Londoner Kieron Garrett. Listen to the record below to hear my description.
