Habibi from New York have been mesmerising me for a while now, their new album “Dreamachine” blends dreamy melodies and rich harmonies, exploring themes of love and self-discovery through a captivating sonic journey. Top notch!

GRAMMY-nominated Orquesta Akokán continue to vibrantly usher the mambo into the 21st century and offer a glorious return to the iconic grooves of an era indelibly marked Cuba’s orquestas gigantes of the mid-twentieth century. The album’s fierce, effervescent grooves are designed to transmit feelings and emotions – This is music which inspires the body to move and the mind to uplift. Highly Recommended.

Hannah Mohan is a critically acclaimed musician. Making music has been at the center of Mohan’s life ever since, even as other circumstances have changed—sometimes radically. A long-term relationship crumbled in 2019. Then the pandemic arrived, bringing an end to her band. After writing a batch of new songs taking stock of her situation, Mohan asked Alex Toth of Rubblebucket and Tōth to produce them, the latest installment of a longtime friendship and occasional creative collaboration.
