Would you believe me if I told you I'd never actually listened to this song? Would you even really care?
You know who doesn't care? The government. They don't care. For instance, taxes. Come on, would you make your child burn half of their toys if y...

I have listened to this whole track a couple of times through. It really is great, and I love that it's coming from South Africa. Plus, two sisters working together to bring you audial bliss -- teamwork! Power!
So much good that it's a wonder why th...

You know what's tough? Writing words about music. That's why almost all of my reviews steer away from actually addressing what you're listening to -- because in the face of something difficult it's better to avoid doing it.

As far as bass goes, this song has got it. A horribly vague description, I know, words just aren't so easy to come by on Mondays. Like the deserts miss the rain, I miss my grasp of the English language.
A funny thought though, imagine someone trying...

I'm sick of Jumping Back Slash making good music. JBS, if you're listening, give us some some tropical house, try putting out at least four remixes of The xx, or go on tour with Kygo if you have to. Just like certain websites give you a Captcha to pr...

Nope, I don't know what this track means either. It's pretty damn good, though.
One half of up-and-coming rap group Bean n Pasco, Bean has joined forces with synth-house man Andy Islands.
