For this next artist we are flying to our favorite city in the world. Of course we are talking about London and now we are going to showcase Richard Green’s single called A Lesson. The track has a very solid production with a compelling arrangement. We loved the bassline particularly here, but also the guitar is very well curated with a nice clean tone typical of a more funky track. We are bold enough to say that the guitar definitely had a Frusciante vibe that really intrigued us. The violin often played the role of melody, and even though the track doesn’t present any vocals, we didn’t find this a problem. Au contrair, this tune sounds perfect as the soundtrack of a beautiful and sunny day.

Rob’s vocals are very emotional and drag you into his story, and we do feel you’re gonna love this track as well as we do.
LATENIGHTBEATFEAST – “Hallucinate Intelligence”
We found LateNightBeatFeast to be a great name for an electronic project. Not only this but LateNightBeatFeast’s last release is actually amazing. It is called Hallucinate Intelligence and it contains 7 tracks. Every song in this release has a different theme and a slightly different sound design. However, the main concept remains pretty consistent, and all the tracks have a leftfield and chill vibe underlying. That’s where LateNightBeatFeast’s genius comes to life, as every track contains different unique effects and synths, something that in the electronic world is very different to achieve. If you are in search of some electronic and chillout-inspired music, that’s gonna be your jam.
LAST FUNK – “Let the groove”
Last but not least, we have an amazing artist directly from the old country. We are going to introduce you to an artist from Italy called Last Funk. As the name suggests, this project is very inspired by funk music, and is last track Let The Groove, is one of the best funky tracks we have listened to in a while. This is not the typical funk tune though, Last Funk ads some rap parts during the verse that are extremely well performed and very groovy. The chorus presents some female vocals that deliver an extremely catchy melody. We also loved the guitar tone of the guitars, which has a smooth overdrive, making them a bit acid, which adds that spice to the track that makes it pretty special to us.
