Mollono.Bass – No Silence (ft. Kuoko)

Pulsating electronic beats with a push and pull bassline is the frame work set for singer Kuoko who reminds me of Lykke Li. The track has a well constructed build that keeps things interesting with flourishes of new elements like the electric guitar, woodwind and wood percussive instruments. The song talks about a new relationship that is all encompassing to the point of losing oneself and almost losing their own identity. Mollono.Bass resides in Germany and Kuoko is an artist, songwriter and music producer from Hamburg.

Solomon Grey – Everybody’s Free (To Feel Good) Rozalla cover

If you don’t recall the original house number by Rozalla you might be overlooking genius this is. Solomon Grey took what was anthemic house number and placed it into another world with a much more intimate setting. This version has a melancholy feel, orchestral elements and a bit of post apocalyptic feel. This cover would sit beautifully at the end of a movie of where this is mass destruction but the victors are finally free of tyranny. Yes, very cinematic.

K.S. Rhoads – Invisible Light

Starts with a warm piano chord sequence that reminds me of The Beatles mixed with a bit of folk and orchestral. It’s beautifully done and exudes warmth and love. Really love the overall feel of this track. K.S. Rhoads is well known in television and movies having produced more then 100 licensed musical tracks. He is well versed in composition and it shines on this track.

Another stand out track is Chess:
