Khruangbin die-hard fans, to whom the mellow soft indie vocals of ‘White Gloves’, and the cyclical surfer guitar grooves of ‘People Everywhere’ are so familiar – we could all be forgiven for forgetting Khurangbin’s debut album came out seven years ago, and whilst Mordechai, their latest full album, came out...

The global music village we all live in has accustomed us to the most peculiar and at times bizarre, cultural brews. Still, discovering and enjoying a Lithuanian trio so passionate and dedicated to cumbia, chicha and tropical sounds doesn’t happen every day. Planeta Polar is indeed such a one-and-only act...
Justin Adams, guitarist and producer, is notorious for his love of the North/West African blues grooves. In previous years he had already appeared in projects with Mauro Durante and his seven-piece band, Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino.

It was over 20 years ago that the sonic video wizards known as Addictive TV started to challenge the music world, hinting at new meanings, suggesting new formats and cultivating new multimedia languages.
