Sundaze Playlist #56 – Art By Paul Grelet

Sodwee — Sun, 19 May 2013 12:32:24 +0000

Summer is totally taking it’s time to show up this year. It’s a bummer. People feel blue, people feel down. A little wander in the tube (metro) here in Paris will give you a quick snapshot of the current ambiance and grey, stormy cloud that’s stuck above our heads. None the less, we’re here to bring smiles on your faces. You can download this great selection of feel good tracks when you like us on Facebook and enjoy your Sunday like no one else (at least the unfortunate people that have no idea of the existence of Sundaze Playlist… We trust you to share the exciting content we provide each end of the week to cheer them up). Thanks to all the artists featured and of course to Paul Grelet for his creation. Check out Sundaze #56 and download it for free when you like us on Facebook :

Introducing : Phoenix Martins

Sodwee — Thu, 16 May 2013 01:19:38 +0000

This British singer/songwriter from London goes by the name of Phoenix Martins and got rather interested when I started reading the brief : “she is set to release her debut single ‘Heartstrings,’on 17th June 2013. To date she has supported and worked with artists including The Noisettes, Fife Dangerfield and Ebony Bones to just name a few…”.

A little bio and insight :

A natural live performer, Phoenix has been singing since the age of seven, when her and her cousin would charge family members fifty pence each to see them sing everything from Aaliyah to Nina Simone. She cites Simone as one of her biggest influences growing up, alongside Fela Kuti, Sarah Vaughan, Stevie Nicks, Jimi Hendrix and Michael Jackson. Right now, she’s been listening to music from Vondel Park, Dry The River, Owiny Sigoma and Larkin & the Sky to name but a few.

Having attended drama school as a child, Phoenix’s theatre background provides another solid foundation for her impressive live performances. She offers Judy Garland and Gene Kelly as big inspirations, expressing admiration for their stage presences as well as their awareness of the importance of presentation in particular.

Introducing : Richie Ashwin

Sodwee — Tue, 14 May 2013 22:00:25 +0000

Richie Ashwin is a South-East UK recording artist and producer who’s been building a name within British R&B scene, who combines his natural audio skills with a keen visual eye that see’s him shoot and direct his own bespoke music videos.

We digged his sound at first listen. But more specifically these two track, including a Lykke Li co-starring on the very likeable track ‘Until We Bleed’. His new EP is definately worth the spin (listen at the end of the article) :

After some much needed self-reflection and artistic honing over the past 12months Richie Ashwin is now back to introduce to you his fresh, new musical identity. His cinematic ambient take on urban music is pieced together with traditional, yet idiosyncratic tales of dreams, love, lust and heartbreak are delivered in his indolent and sharply written style that won’t go unnoticed in 2013.

Introducing : Glass Animals

Sodwee — Mon, 13 May 2013 12:28:19 +0000

Oooh what a surprise this was. Didn’t expect anything like this kind of sound as I pressed the play button. Glass Animals just signed to Kaya Kaya (on XL recordings) and have delivered some pretty impressive stuff on their Soundcloud profile. Self Blown got a hold of them on HumanHuman and got us turned into a frenzy ever since, especially this ‘Black Mambo’ track we totally recommend :

Glass Animals’ is the first signing to the new imprint kaya kaya records via xl. They are the perfect collision between wild beasts’ eccentric vocals, radiohead’s sensitivity and flying lotus’ softly pulsating electronics. The band produces perfectly structured music. Whilst there are hints of darkness, there also seems to be a sense of fragility. Their music takes you on a journey, whilst frequently mentioning creatures suggesting movement and life. Ultimately Glass Animals produces a new kind of music, it’s unexpected and as if from another world- it’s extraordinarily beautiful.
