Episode 163 landed, fasten your seatbelts and get ready to depart!
RETroMETro – “Deep Jive”
Let’s start this new episode with RETroMETro’s latest single called “Deep Jive”, a groove-first electro house song that leans into spontaneity as much as style! Built from a collective of London studio engineers and producers, the track thrives on a live-mix philosophy where filters and textures are shaped in real time, giving it an organic unpredictability rarely heard in electronic music productions.
The track has a steady and club-ready rhythm that anchors it, driven by some acid basslines and crisp percussive swing. This song doesn’t have big drops; instead, it locks into a hypnotic flow, letting subtle shifts in tone and filtering carry the momentum, resulting in a sophisticated and kinetic sound.
The balance between retro influence and modern polish is what this tune focuses on the most. The textures reminded us of classic European house, but with a fresh and intentional execution. “Deep Jive” doesn’t overwhelm here: it evolves, drawing us into its rhythm with quiet confidence and an understated but addictive energy!
Amara Fe – “A Queen’s Ambition”
Amara-Fe steps into full command with “A Queen’s Ambition”, a project that feels defined by certainty rather than transition. Built around themes of power, self-worth, and identity, the album presents an artist who is no longer searching, but asserting.
This project blends cinematic pop, R&B, and soul sound with a polished and modern edge. The production is clean and sharp, allowing her voice to be the star on stage, and it’s clear that every detail has been crafted with precision here. We were really impressed!
Tracks like “Moonlight” introduce a calm, controlled confidence, while “Ecstasy” brings a more vibrant, rhythmic lift. Meanwhile, songs such as “Rooted Love” and “Fall Back” ground the project with emotional depth, balancing vulnerability with strength.
This album is incredibly cohesive; each track contributes to a unified narrative of self-definition, where growth is acknowledged but no longer the focus. Instead, the tone is declarative, clear, and self-assured.
“A Queen’s Ambition” definitely stands as a focused and confident body of work; it reinforces Amara-Fe’s artistic identity while signaling a shift into a more refined and purposeful phase of her career.
Andrzej Zyl – “Najważniejsze, że żyję”
Andrzej Zyl delivers something quite personal with his single “Najważniejsze, że żyję”, a track that doesn’t aim for perfection, but for truth.
The track slowly builds up, starting with a nostalgic piano intro, setting a reflective tone. It feels almost confessional at first, drawing the listener into a space of vulnerability before gradually expanding. When the chorus hits, the shift is striking.. what began as quiet introspection erupts into a powerful, emotionally charged release.
The vocal performance is the heart of the track: raw, unfiltered, and very, very powerful. Every note carries the weight of its message: survival, resilience, and an unbreakable will to keep going. It’s the kind of delivery that’s hard to put into words.. it doesn’t just sound emotional, it feels it, hitting you directly and leaving nothing untouched.
In the end, “Najważniejsze, że żyję” stands out for its honesty, and it’s not just uplifting: it feels earned, offering a message that resonates with anyone who’s had to fight just to keep going.
Energy Whores – “Fade To Gray”
Energy Whores are back with “Fade To Gray”, a calm and hypnotic tune where feelings slowly wear down, with beauty and unease sitting right next to each other.
The track begins with intimate melodic textures before expanding into something far more haunting. Built on addictive grooves and catchy melodies, it carries a quiet tension that never fully resolves, mirroring the song’s core idea: watching something once certain slowly dissolve.
The vocal approach is deliberately unconventional, not just sitting in the front, but becoming part of the sonic fabric, morphing into a ghostly motif that emerges more as feeling than statement. It’s a subtle but powerful choice that deepens the track’s immersive quality, and personally? We loved it.
The production has a strong contrast: warm and nostalgic melodies against colder, mechanical undercurrents. This friction gives the song its edge, pulling listeners into a space that feels intimate but also disorienting.
This single definitely stands out for its restraint and atmosphere. It doesn’t explode.. it unravels, slowly and beautifully, leaving a lingering sense of collapse that feels kind of unsettling but strangely captivating!
Krey Galin – “सब कुछ तुम्हारे बारे में है (All About You)”
Krey Galin’s single called “सब कुछ तुम्हारे बारे में है ” is a wonderful debut (and part of his incredible album) that thrives on sincerity and cross-cultural vision. This track sees the Recife-born artist step into Hindi-language music, delivering a heartfelt ballad that feels intimate, allowing the track’s core to connect with your soul.
Built around a theme of love, the song carries an emotional weight, with soft melodies and very expressive vocals guiding its core. There’s a seamless fusion of influences: Brazilian artistry meeting Indian musical tastes.. Just wonderful! The collaboration with Mumbai-based studio vocalists adds a layer of authenticity, elevating the track beyond a simple experiment into something genuinely remarkable.
The production remains understated, allowing the emotion to take center stage, while the Hindi lyrics flow naturally, never feeling forced or translated. Instead, they feel lived-in, as if the song was always meant to exist in this form.
This single shows Krey’s artistic fearlessness: an artist willing to cross borders, embrace new languages, and create something that connects far beyond one place or culture.
Tamer Sağcan – “Home: Roots”
Tamer Sağca brings us “Home: Roots”, a quietly ambitious instrumental EP that feels like the opening chapter of an incredible imagined universe.
This project is a selection of tracks where the guitar takes center stage: each piece begins with an intimate, human touch before unfolding into expansive AI-assisted orchestral arrangements. The key detail is that nothing about the emotional core is synthetic: the melodies, structure, and intention remain entirely human, while AI simply extends the sonic space around them. The result is a thoughtful collaboration that shows how technology and human expression can work together without losing authenticity.
Across its four tracks, the EP maps a spectrum of inner states: from warming and glowing arrangements to reflective melodies, each track feels distinct, yet bound by a shared emotional language.
This project is extremely balanced: simplicity and scale, tradition and technology, solitude and expansion. The guitar remains the emotional anchor throughout, being warm, expressive, unmistakably human.. even as orchestration builds around it like widening memory.
This EP will get stuck in your head for a while, we already know that!
The Black Plague Doctors – “EFF.SEE.DEE.IYEE”
“EFF.SEE.DEE.IYEE” is the latest project of The Black Plague Doctors duo, with their experimental alias ZIllA: leaning hard into a DIY, instinct-led creative process. Built from live guitar and bass, SP404 textures, drum machines, and fragments recorded straight to a simple 8-track, the project is shaped in a way that’s quite impossible to forget their style. What begins as a set of instrumental ideas slowly opens up as vocals emerge, sitting in the mix as texture rather than taking focus.
This 6-track EP feels loose, unfiltered, and deeply present. Prepare yourself to immerse yourself in hazy and cinematic atmospheres that drift into grounded and heavy grooves, going from restless and kinetic layers and unpredictable movement, to introspective and darker tones that will literally hypnotize you.
Inspired by J Dilla, Flying Lotus, and Dibia$E, this duo doesn’t replicate these influences so much as absorb them into their own language, resulting in a record that embraces imperfection, capturing ideas as they happen and letting the process itself shape the final sound. Incredible.
Solum – “Burn”
“Burn” marks a striking new direction for Solum, just released this week, as he steps into entirely new sonic territory. Produced, written, and performed by Solum himself in his home studio in London, the track also sees collaboration with long-time producer Amorii, helping shape its emotional weight with precise, modern production.
At its core, “Burn” is an unfiltered emotional release: born from heartbreak, betrayal, and the intense aftermath of having love manipulated and taken for granted. It captures that raw, impulsive state where pain turns into a desire for revenge, and even disappearance feels like an escape. Rather than holding back, the track goes into those darker, deeper emotions, transforming them into something cathartic and immersive. Trust us, this track will hit you harder than you think.
Solum blends an intimate songwriting with heavy electronic production, pushing his sound into a more experimental space while maintaining complete creative control, resulting in a deeply personal and sonically bold statement, reflecting vulnerability and intensity in equal measure. Stunning work here.
