Glasgow's very own Koreless has teamed up with another pioneer of the London art scene Ghostpoet to produce a collaborative piece of work focusing on the question "What Moves You ?". Supported by Levi's throughout the project film director Alex Turvey joined these two seminal producers to document the creative process and provide the visual aspect of this musical endeavor. Differing from any other screening of a collaborative series, this topic of exploration was not the most restrictive for the artists giving them the ultimate oppertunity to explore this modern frontier of music - what is the driving force behind young musicians in the UK?   Being natural city bred artists the trio took the idea to push forward the exploration of nature in their musical drive, instead of working in a studio the trio took a trek to the North of Wales, Mount Snowdon to be specific, filming a piece on the hillside and Koreless capturing the surrounding sounds. Taking their ...

Perhaps a bit late with this weeks Music Monday releases, this week we have opted Florian Kupfer's Lifetrax, released earlier this year in March. With his roots set in Wiesbaden, Germany, one of LIES Records' charted artists has treated us to a selection of track in the past recent months under the name "Lifetrax". With so many big singles receiving reviews as out of proportions as the track released, its comforting to be given releases from LIES records whom recently seem to be providing us with nothing but powerful slices of house music. Staying in the limelight for the past few months it seemed fitting to give LIES a spot on the Music Monday blog. Within the release of Lifetrax Kupfer has given us 4 tracks, Lifetrax version 1 and 2 and Feelin, version 1 and 2. Both tracks are as powerful as each other and quickly after its debut you can see (or hear) the impact its had on people through their tracklists. A shop favourite "Feelin" offers ...
