South East London teen singer Tizane sizzles on flamed out love ‘He Took It All Back’

Tizane sings so beautifully on her honest indie-folk track and visuals for ‘He Took It All Back‘.

Tizane adds her brand of brilliant comedy horror on ‘He Took It All Back‘. The video is a welcome eerie pastiche of the Stanley Kubrick cult classic, The Shining, and features all the poster icons and characters, like Room 237, The tricycle, Jack Torrance, his son Danny, and of course The Grady Twins. A rising star in the USA, Germany and getting noticed through the world, this is an artist who’s brilliantly created music is getting the love it deserves.

Tizane has had an incredible two year journey despite her private battle with anxiety issues and the broader negatives around global pandemics and such. In 2018 she was hawking a handful of well-constructed ethereal ballads around the open mic pubs and clubs of Kent with an old guitar and the less than likely dream of a music career. With determination and sheer lack of alternatives kept her out there and from there she got her noticed. With lots of radio support and a massive loyal fan-base, this self-aware young teen singer with an old soul, is going places.

M25 Carpark teen Tizane sings so honestly and her voice is so real and striking to the heart, in a really good way. She is a creative who has managed to do her exams in this crazy time and has just stayed positive throughout. Her music is so relevant in 2020 and I can’t wait to see her play live. ‘He Took It All Back‘ is a quality song from London’s Tizane.

This new track from the British boys is all about getting away from this crazy world with that special soul. You just want to break away and get up in the sky, heading far away from the madness on earth.

Luke Taylor Releases Rhythmically Tight Track “Radiate”

Posted on 30 November 2017

Luke Taylor is a fresh producer from Kent with a crisp sound that delivers flawless production and a rich balance between melody and rhythm. His latest track “Radiate” is an outburst of energy into a chaotic sound, crafted with precision and great imaginative ideas. The track’s name also fits the vibe of the music perfectly and upon first pressing play it is evident that the sound literally radiates energy. It is also image evoking and the sensations of chaos and order in the music really translate well to imagery of atomic movement and radiation.

With blistering acidic sounds and a heavy drum and bass feel in the music, the texture is rich and densely packed but this track offers more than this. It also features a strong sense of melody through sections which alternate between more rhythmically complex parts of the song. Apart from this, each sound and beat has its place which allows the rhythmic layers to interlock perfectly together. Luke Taylor is a producer with a strong and convincing artistic vision. The way the sounds are chosen and mixed, in combination with the digital elements and the balance between melody and rhythm really prove his skills are sharp. “Radiate” is a track which is truly crafted to chaotic perfection!

Luke Taylor – Decay: Edgy, Resonant Drum & Bass Fresh from The UK

Posted on 15 November 2017

Call me a nihilist, but there’s something about a macabre song title that catches my eye. Luke Taylors new track Decay certainly didn’t disappoint. This Drum & Mass style medley of chaotic sound may only be 2.08 minutes long, but it delivers everything you would expect from a Drum & Bass hit, from distortion to blistering snares, it’s got it all.

Luke Taylor is an underground enigma from Kent, UK that has become a major contender in the Drum & Bass scene for his home produced tracks. His baselines offer the movement and mood to take you along with the upbeat classic D&B sound. Decay mixes together elements of unbridled energy to leave you in a chaotically zen state. The filters, distortions and modulations are absolutely flawless, my only criticism would be that the track wasn’t longer.

Check out Decay on the SoundCloud link below, where there are plenty of the tracks by the artist to enjoy, this new young artist is showing no signs of slowing down, he’s constantly throwing new sounds into the mix, for fans of the more melodic sound you can sample some of his more ambient sounds through tracks such as Sinister

Wilber – 3am: Master of The Mix Tape

Posted on 30 October 2017

At the tender age of 21 Wilber Leon has become a master of the mix tape, combining minimalistic beats with poignant lyrics. His music is delightfully and millennially sweet. His brand-new track 3am is a masterpiece of emotion. There’s a delectable sense of modern romance behind the track without any over-sentimentality. It’s raw, and real, and something that everyone can relate to. There’s a deep sense of melancholy within his music that you just can’t ignore, which is highly resonant and not something you hear frequently from male rap artists. I mean, you get the typical ‘I want you back tracks’ which are massively over produced in the mainstream rap scene, but 3am encapsulates something else entirely. It’s real, Wilber offers you his own emotions for you to feel through his anchoring melodies.

Wilber orchestrates delectably delicate arrangements through his music, using fragile samples of sound to truly convey heart wrenching emotion.

If you’re a fan of Kendrick Lemar, Jay Z, and J. Cole; you’re going to want this conceptual artist on your rap playlist.
