Bruce Sudano – ‘American Sunset’

We love Bruce Sudano. His music career has been massive, both on stage and behind the scenes. The former member of pop-rock bands Brooklyn Dreams, and Alive N Kickin’ has had such a versatile career, with a country-pop hit for Dolly Parton (‘Starting Over Again’, which he co-wrote with Donna Summer, his late wife), four songs for Donna on her album, ‘She Works Hard For The Money’, and ‘Tell Me I’m Not Dreamin’ (Too Good to Be True)’ with Michael Omartian, which saw Jermaine and Michael Jackson record as a duet for Jermaine’s self-titled album.

Sonarpilot – ‘CodeX’ And ‘Imperium’

Sonarpilot is the earth name for Michael Moppert, who holds that there’s a sort of code – a matrix even – that is the basis for all of physical reality. Formed of patterns and rhythms that can’t be detected with our existing devices, could these nonetheless form the very basis of our world, situated just beyond the extremes of our perception? While this might all sound a bit Arthur C Clarke, it’s an interesting theory, and if it exists, it’s very possible that music might be at the heart of it all, and in the hands of electronic multi-instrumentalist Sonarpilot, we could well find out what the truth out there actually is.

Hidden Beams – ‘Hidden’  

Carlos Argon, performing as Hidden Beams, uses his project as a creative outlet by which to tap into the lives of others. Having recorded and performed all over the world, as well as released many albums, Argon uses found sounds, improvisations, and self-composed segments, in order to create his often avant-garde pop rock songs. His most recent release, ‘Hidden’, is his latest offering, serving as, like the name Hidden Beams itself, a metaphor to describe those hidden forces at play in our lives, which pull and push us, forging them into shape.

Yachtclub101 – ‘Leave Me Alone’

Scott Ayers was once upon a time in an up and coming indie band called The Lovemakers. Since that time he’s been running a bar, The RIC, which was mighty successful…until Covid-19 happened and then, well, Scott decided he had to do something else. He sold the bar, and got into music, and will release three albums: the first will be released on November 13 this year, with albums 2 and three released exactly a year and two years later respectively. First track from LP1 is ‘Leave Me Alone’, accompanied by a music video, the latter of which should be avoided if you’re allergic to – or just don’t like – cats.
