Sixth June - Back for a Day


Minimal synth and darkwave are two things I'd really like to get into more and have been looking into lately. I came upon a group from Berlin that goes by Sixth June. They've got a pretty great thing going. Pretty dark overall with a fair amount of fuzz that works well with the enchanting female vocals. There's not much more to say about this album except you ought to definitely check it out and I'm very very happy I happened on it..

Blazo - Colors of Jazz


I'd taken a break finding new music recently and when I tried the other day I ended up only finding one or two things. It turns out that one of them was a damn good find. Blazo is a polish instrumental hip-hop producer who is fairly mysterious. It seems he doesn't play any shows make any appearances or what have you but what he does is make great jazzy tunes that whisk you away and make you feel like you're floating on a cloud. Heavy piano and sax work really throws the jazz elements right in your face. It's likely that you'll listen to the whole thing and not realize you've listened to an entire album. In the end it's one great ride that you should look into as soon as you can.
