Review: Duncan Stagg & the Threadbare Band “Satellites”

Latest single by Duncan Stagg & the Threadbare Band “Satellites” is one definitely for your playlists. When I first heard the track for some odd reason the first thought that popped up in my head was early 2000’s American drama series Firefly. There is just something very nostalgic about this song that really makes you want to keep listening to it. The song takes you on a journey that you hope doesn’t really end but in the end you feel happy that it somehow has ended, mostly because you get to restart the song and the journey it takes you on.

“A BEAUTIFULLY delivered Nostalgic song pulling us back Home”

Overall, the song is performed and packaged very well which gets me very excited for the full EP “Satellites”. The EP will be released on the 1st of May. We hope we will hear more from these very talented and promising artists. This one is for the playlists.

After being sentenced one year in jail. Dax J issues an apology via social media.

Dax J has been  on the news a lot lately, mainly because of a video that went viral of him playing the muslim call to prayer at the Orbit Festival in Tunisia. Dax J has received many death threats because of this and was given a 1 year prison sentence, however he is currently back in Europe and if he doesn’t return to Tunisia in the next 5 years the sentence will expire.

This is his apology which he wrote via his Facebook page.

“I wish to express my deepest apologies to anyone who has been offended by the music that I played at the Orbit Festival in Tunisia last Friday. I am incredibly saddened that anyone would believe that I played a track, featuring a 20 second vocal of the “Call To Prayer / Adhan”, for any reason other than its musicality and the beauty of the vocal.

As a result of this unfortunate and unintentional incident, yesterday in my absence and without notice, I was convicted in the Tunisian courts and sentenced to 1 year in prison. I am currently back in Europe and this conviction in place will expire in 5 years.

I hold the upmost respect for all religions across the globe and I can now understand how my recent actions could have been perceived in the wrong way. We must all take time to truly respect and appreciate everybody’s beliefs in this world to move forward as a global society.

Through this experience, I have gained a greater and deeper insight into the world that we live in. I will continue to create art through music, and I look forward to sharing this with you.“

Stunning stills from Tarkovsky’s “Mirror”

The legendary Russian director Andrei Tarkovsky’s Mirror is a film that showcases of how cinematography can be used to tell the story and the emotions of the characters. This is some of the best screenshots from the film.

“A film in cinema is what in theatre would be realism—and vice versa.
In cinema—as in life—the text, the words, are refracted in everything
apart from the words themselves. The words mean nothing—
words are water.” – Andrei Tarkovsky

Review: Elea Calvet “Lust”

Canadian born artist Elea was raised in India and most recently she has found her feet in the UK were she became a key part of Bristol’s creative circle. Her debut single ‘Lust’ is a debut that really defines of what is to come of this up and coming artist.

“Atmospheric style that drives you for more”

Elea has raw talent and passion behind her music. In this day we see so many artists making weak debuts but it seems Elea has it figured out. We hope more good things will come from this new but strong up and coming artist. This one is for the playlists.

Review: Joep Beving “Prehension”

Joep Beving’s debut album Solipsism was among one of our favourites when it was released in 2015. We have now come to news that Joep has brought us more beauty and honesty to the world. This new album features an astonishing catalogue of 15 compositions that we simply cannot get enough of.

“Joep keeps delivering the art we want”

To really review something like Prehension is very difficult. Not because it takes a lot of time to re-listen to the music or analyse the way the music is played but simply because its such a personal piece of work. This kind of work is not made for everyone. It’s an individuals journey that takes us in and carries us within the heart of the narrative. I would have to say the one piece that I got most attached to was The Gift. Something that really drives this piece is the little signs of emotional interest and mystery and let’s not get started about the pauses that drives the dynamic of this piece.

Overall the album is truly stunning. I loved the first album by Joep. I genuinely thought it was one of the best debut albums I have ever heard. It was packaged so well and so beautifully that it made me really want follow this artist into his journey. Prehension does this and even more. I can feel the growth of Joep in this latest album in the way the pieces contrast each other but also somehow beautifully flow in a wave of honesty and beauty.
