What if Bach wrote music based on Swedish folk tunes? No need to wonder—just listen to Ur egen fatabur by Jon-Olov Woxlin. A collection of 21 original pieces written for solo violin, this album blends traditional folk tunes with the elegance and structure of Baroque music.

When I first encountered the music of Lauré Lussier, I wasn’t prepared for how deeply it would stir me. There’s a palpable breath in his compositions—something alive, something not imposed but revealed, unearthed.

His works don’t simply use sound—they become it.

Rayhan, a rapper, actor, and comedian from Scarborough, Toronto, uses his full range of creativity to bring a multi-genre sound that refuses to stay in one lane.

Nikola Pešić’s new release Skies is a personal diary written in sound — ten heartfelt pieces, each as expansive and open as the sky itself. With this album, Nikola shares intimate sentiments through his virtuosic fingers and the expressive keys of his piano.

Eyes Like Torches at the Gate features two solo guitar pieces by the Polish composer and guitarist Ratyński. The music is striking, expressive, and rhythmically intricate. I was especially drawn to the way different rhythmic patterns emerge and evolve, adding depth and emotional resonance to each piece.

I’ve always been drawn to the idea that consciousness isn’t a privilege reserved for humans. What if everything—objects, places, even the air between us—has its own form of awareness? It may be beyond our comprehension, but it’s a poetic and powerful notion. This idea is called panpsychism, and it’s the perfect name for Test Patterns’ latest album.

In an age where playlists are flooded with algorithm-tailored tracks and momentary hooks, Niro Knox stands defiant. His music doesn't just echo the golden era of hard rock—it reignites it with a spirit that’s raw, emotionally charged, and unapologetically real.
