MXXWLL: SHEESH
MXXWLL SHEESH Rare Chords Australian-based beatmaker/producer MXXWLL operates in a post-D’Angelo world; the nu-soul groove that is on the R’n’B tip always but has notes from hip-hop, funk and sinewy digital-Prince era vibes.Archive

Jonathan Besser – Jade String Quartet: Besser String Quartets
Jonathan Besser – Jade String Quartet Besser String Quartets Rattle I’ve been listening to Jonathan Besser’s music across the last two decades – he’s been active in music for at least as long ago, moving fluidly through jazz, klezmer, gamelan, composing for small and large combos, making soundtracks and soundscapes. There’s an emotional resonance, always, […]Archive
