EP Review: Feather Weight Soul Tape Vol. II : Mellowtape – Robin Mitchell
Feather Weight Soul Tape Vol. 2: Mellowtape is the perfect introduction to British smooth operator ROBIN MITCHELL.
So what to expect from this Bristol-based singer/songwriter? Well the title of the EP says it all really…super light, mellow, summertime melodies (with the hints of soul and afrobeats) which is topped off by Mitchell’s soothing and dreamy vocals. The 4-track production was released last month, perfect timing for those lazy summer days.
Have a listen and you’ll be greeted by the cheeky fi-lo intro, Blip.
Must listen tracks: Soliloquy, The Trick, From the Waist Up
EP Review: Echoes of the Future: Playhead
1. Bring the Thunder
2. Clean Air
3. New York Skyline
4. Reach
Bristol-based electronic dance band PLAYHEADS released their EP, Echoes of the Future.
Released last month, the 4 track EP spans from the creative minds of British producers Jonathan Savage and Bruce Turner. Together they create something that’s pretty special by bringing back the favour of 90’s dance music and adding their modern twist of electronics beats…and they didn’t stop there… they pushed the boundaries by dropping a hint of Afrobeats, featured in first track Bring in the Thunder.
So if you want to head down memory lane, it’s worth giving Echoes of the Future a blast…and if you do, don’t forget your acid smiley face t-shirt!
Star tracks:
Bring in the Thunder; Clean Air…oh, what the hell – listen to the EP! Just head right here and enjoy!

9. Trophies ft Reek Havoc
10. 10.Family Affair ft Big K, Reek Havoc,AJ (Prod by Johnny Classics)
Guess what hip hop heads…the best master is back with his latest mixtape, 15 Minutes of Fame. Released last month, the 10-track album is bursting with shoulder swinging, get-off-your-butt-and-move bass line, finish off by the hip-hop artist’s second-to-none freestyling.
15 Minutes of Fame kicks off real good with Make You Look, which features on-the-money samples of NAS’ hit with the same name. And this guy knows how to use hit samples and make it his own…just listen to Trophies. TC UNO gave DRAKE’S hit a new lease of life by adding more bass and drive coupled with faster-than-lighting raps and laugh-out-loud wordplay.
TC UNO is known (by his loyal fans) for his on-the-spot raps…and he didn’t disappoint as he effortlessly spits in easy-cruising PoundCake (Freestyle) and Inferno (Freestyle).
15 Minutes of Fame doesn’t fizzle out with last track, Family Affair. With summery, throw-your-hands-up-in-the-air beats and soothing raps, this track has all the right ingredients of becoming a summer anthem.
Usually at this point, I offer my conclusion on an album or mixtape…15 Minutes of Fame is TOO good for that. So the next is to head right here and check it out for yourself.
EP Review – Room for improvement – E-Thrilla
UK rapper/producer/songwriter E-THRILLA is determined to take hip-hop to another place through his EP Room For Improvement, released last month.
In this 3-track production, the Manchester-based artist incorporates the genre with refreshingly-light and echoic modern melodies, as featured in Simple and Ready. Romance Is Dead brilliantly samples PALOMA FAITH’s single of the same name, which is infused with his trademark of that modern, slightly sped-up simple and light undertone.
Room for Improvement is an EP that leaves you wanting more. With such innovative approach to hip-hop, it’s intriguing to see what E-THRILLA will do next…so stay tuned for more updates!
For now, have a listen to Room For Improvement (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)
