This is some really heavy feels! Indie Notes comes back with a really touching song about Trixie and how she tries to hide the true self from the audience during her shows. A song that probably can give you nostalgia of old Trixie episodes and can led you a tear to the eye! The riffs of the acoustic guitar are well performed and the vocals are really amazing! Looks like that Radiohead and David Bowie meet up! The lyrics are also really emotional and deep! Good job Indie! You did good, hope to listen more from you!

174UDSI’s house music always manages to get me grooving, especially when he includes such awesome vocal chops. Combined with a fun bounce-y chord progression and some good use of percussion, there’s plenty to help you dance here.
ertrii – Time Alone | Piano Improv
For many out there, it is time for the seasonal blues. The new year brings out self-reflection and we are not always pleased with where we landed. ertrii beautifully captures that somber emotion in this improvisational piano piece. Delicately mingling the lonely, high keys with the ambiance and drive of the bass tones over a slow tempo provoking reflection, ertrii gorgeously demonstrates that lowly, solitary feeling we all get from time to time.

2013 was a long time ago, so it’s awesome to see a complete re-work of BroniKoni’s big hit from back then, Keep The Beat Alive, for their upcoming 2018 album. Complete with a pretty awesome video that shows like a big Vinyl Scratch concert, the vocals are top notch with some fantastic choruses. The instrumental also is excellently produced, with a great mix of rock and synth vibes.
