The Bilinda Butchers
"The Bilinda Butchers" 
Dream Pop


This is the stuff sonic wet dreams are made of.

Treat yourself to a relaxing, mildy oriental audio massage from San Fransisco's infamous independent dream pop band notorious for blowing minds without notice. This EP will get you to heaven and back before you can say "wow!", with no drugs and you won't even have to kick the bucket.

It's quick and straight to the point - no long intros or outros, no slow builds; it sucks you in, grips you tight and takes your mind to full ecstacy quicker than your first time.

The tracks are bright, mildly chaotic and flooded with good noise and sweet melodies. Hearing The Bilinda Butchers for the first time is so refreshing it'll give you butterflies and make you feel like a virgin again. It's an experience many never forget; their sound is deep, fresh and has an air of purity to it; You'll never hear anything like it from any other band.

If you ever need a quick pick up on a slow day, this is the one.

Lovers' Suicide is one of the fan favorites.

#SkunkRadioLive
"Painkiller" 
Eclectic Playlist


Just what the doctor should have ordered. 

This painkiller won't get rid of your nasty headache. It won't soothe your aching joints or mildly bruised arm. It contains no chemicals and it's as intrinsic and invaluable as spring water itself. 

This is for the broken heart. For the weeping soul, and the despairing mind. For lonesome moments, and for hard times. For times when you hate Everything, and can't stand anyone. For times when it seems like your passion is leading you nowhere. For moments of immense anger or annoyance, grief, disbelief, betrayal, paranoia and fear.

Breathe deep and let the energy flow.

Music review of Mike De La Cruz's chart-topping top 40 pop song, Pa'elante - listen free on Soundcloud and download on iTunes


Mike De La Cruz
"Pa'elante" 
Latino Top 40 Pop


The universe sends us one of these songs to revive our souls every now and again.

You're not going to be able to stay still once this song comes on.

It's tropical, it's exotic, it's sexy, it's happy, it's friendly, uplifting and it'll make you want to just grab the person next to you and start doing the Salsa, even if you never knew you've never danced before. You might find yourself just whistling happily down the high street like you would on a hot summer day or rolling down the window while you're driving and shaking your shoulders and torso uncontrollably.

It's sweet and colorful, and it'll brighten up your day in a way only a few songs can.

This is one of those songs that makes the club go wild. It's guaranteed to get hips moving, make the ladies go crazy and set off spontaneous rump-shaking marathons and synchronous dance routines every single time. You'll feel like you died and went to bootilicious party heaven, there'll be hips swinging all around you.

Put on your dancing shoes, loosen up your hips and grab somebody.

Discover the voice of the new indie pop singer who everyone's talking about - Saachi Sen reviewed on SRL Music Reviews

Saachi Sen
"SRL Networks Presents Saachi Sen" 
Pop Music


A mindful, peaceful and warm EP with gentle guitar melodies and captivating hooks you can hum along to.

Even with just 4 simple songs, Saachi Sen's #SkunkRadioLive EP was still everything pop music fans could have ever wished for back in 2014 when pop music seemed to have lost its versatility and diversity.

Saachi's EP is as unique as they come. It contains some of Saachi's best debut tracks. Authentic, original and sweet are three words that are often used to describe it but in reality it's the stuff pop music dreams are made of, to say the least.

Saachi has a soft, innocent voice; the type that would bring a proud father to tears as he watches his daughter perform at her first school musical.

The young singer songwriter from London writes thoughtful songs that paint beautiful pictures.

This EP will bring you joy from places in your mind you never even knew existed and make you feel loved for no apparent reason.

Heal is one of the highlights to listen out for.

Listen free and download mp3 on Bandcamp - Wizkid's top new song reviewed by SRL Music Reviews - Rediscover hip hop music


Wiz Kid The Weirdo
"Molly" 
Hip Hop Music


Another one of those infectious party tracks you can't help but sing along to. 

It put Wiz Kid on the map back in 2014 when he also released "So high", another track of similar context and content that is still being enjoyed by Hip Hop fans today.

Wiz Kid's sound is distinctive, and even after numerous other acts surfaced with a similar sound and style, it's still easy to tell a Wiz Kid track apart - It's generally psychedelic, cool, fun and it'll put a smile on your face and make you just want to chillout.

As the title suggests, Molly is about letting go, partying and having a good time. 

If there's a track that is guaranteed to get a party started anywhere, this is it.

It's mildly explicit and makes reference to drug use, but luckily, there's a clean version as well on this EP so everyone can enjoy it.

Music review of Corby's best song, You Remain - Rediscover contemporary Gospel music with this hot new release - Listen free


Corby LaCroix
"You Remain" 
Contemporary Gospel Music


A subtle, inviting heart-warming song that creates a peaceful, reassuring inner ambience.

This was one of the favorite singles from Corby's debut EP, Declaration which was released back in 2011. It could easily be mistaken for a very tastefully written love song. The lyrics are simple, slightly vague and not overwhelmingly Christian.

It's not uncommon for Christian music to scream out "go to church" and "save your soul" but this one doesn't. 

Corby simply acknowledges and appreciates the essence of an unconditional, undying love that never changes. He talks about a pure, mysterious, unexplainable love that doesn't discriminate and is always forgiving.

More than a Christian song, it's a celebration of love itself and the happiness it brings to not just the receiver but also the one who shows love and is appreciated for it.

In an ever-changing world that gets more and more complicated as the years go by, everyone must do whatever it takes to survive. Knowing that there's someone out there who won't judge, who remains the same and who will give their unconditional love forever no matter the circumstances is indeed a blessing in itself and should be celebrated accordingly.

If there's that special someone in your life, then this song is for you. If you haven't found that special someone; or that special something even, this song is for you too.

Close your eyes, open your heart and feel the love come down.

World music by latin band, Hu'ewa reviewed on SRL Reviews - Listen to the song free and download on top music streaming and download platforms


Hu'ewa
"Hu'ewa" 
World Music


You are never too far from Hawaii with this album in your music collection.

Turn your heater up to the max, mix yourself the most delicious, adventurous cocktail you've never tried, run the cold bath water on low for the ambience and that fresh scent but don't plug the bath. Remove all unnecessary items of clothing, lay a bright coloured sheet or towel on the floor, throw on some sun shades so the ceiling lights don't blind you, press play and just sprawl.

 When you wake up (it WILL put you to sleep), you'll be more energized than you've ever been your entire life; pumped up, happy, excited and ready to go out there and make the world a better place.

Find your inner paradise with Hu'ewa.

Discover the new song by R&B singer, songwriter and producer, Sanger Boy - Stream it free and download on iTunes - Also on Spotify


Sanger Boy AKA Marco Richh
"Strokin" 
R&B


R. Kelly without the Watersports.

Sanger Boy a.k.a Marco Richh stepped on the independent music scene a few years ago with this hot single and immediately secured notches on the belts of R&B critics and fans far and wide. The track was exactly what R&B fans needed at the time, and it is still cherished very much today. Strokin came out around the time when fans where starting to realise that the old school R&B sound they fell in love with was slowly fading away. When their baby making playlists, formerly filled with sweet nothings that would have ladies tingling had suddenly started getting more aggressive and less gentlemanly.

Sanger Boy brought some hope back to R&B fans, and continues to do so with every new release.
Strokin is slow, sexy and mesmerising. Perfect for date night, late nights and everything in-between.

It's that good old R&B sound, with a contemporary edge like no other.
