On our way out, Moroccin’ about (Sailing La Vagabonde) Ep. 130
We sail west, along the northern Moroccan coastline. It’s all go go go right now, just making quick stops in every few ports so that we can make our exit out of the Mediterranean. New oceans are calling our names. We tie off the boat in another marina that’s pretty much deserted and head into the country on a road trip. I’ve always dreamed of visiting Morocco, to get lost in the ally ways and go spice shopping at the markets. I hope you enjoy this little adventure with us! Videos made with love, Elayna.
When the cats away the mice will play! (Sailing La Vagabonde) Ep. 131
After a spontaneous trip to the blue town, Riles and I crank the engine for Ceuta in no wind.. which means no sailing.. which means way too much free time out there. Join us for a dolphin party, a missed fish and good vibes all round. Have a fabulous Monday from us!

Django Django – https://www.djangodjango.co.uk
Progressive and refreshingly experimental indie is thrust unto the world via English rockers Django Django. With their new sound that flirts the lines of industrial-electronic and prog-indie rock, they bring sensible, quasi complex music to the fore, while staying true to the foundational song writing emphasised by the Django of the past. Their latest offering ‘Marble Skies’ was released in January 2018, it is the bands highly anticipated third album coming after a three year gap in major releases
Taji – https://www.tajimusic.com
Taji uses music to address some of the issues faced by many young adults, from feelings of isolation, yearning and loneliness, to a visceral sense of adventure. Influences such as Coldplay, Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran and Bon Iver have helped Taji forge his sound. Like his contemporaries, his music is fundamentally melodic, often propelled by the rhythm of a deep kick drum and simple backing bass lines. His guitar work is noteworthy, easily capturing the attention it seeks by offering quirky and interesting riffs.
Luciole Langevine – https://soundcloud.com/luciole-langevine
Luciole Langevine moulds with a tremendously vast selection of genres, much to the pleasure of her growing fanbase on SoundCloud. The recipe is straightforward, borrow music from various composers and fuse her vocals of mood and choosing inside. The result is exciting and frankly refreshing, a good concoction of sounds, featuring Luciole as her own remix.
Mute Choir – https://www.facebook.com/mutechoir
Mute Choir was created as a platform to explore the themes of freedom, creative vision and expression, while addressing the dissonance experienced by humans who are doing what is expected of them by society, rather than following the pursuits they are interested in. Disgorging a post-electronic sound, Mute Choir exudes a sense of melancholy, all the while enticing the spirit of danceability. Heavy with rock music sensibilities, all sounds are cleverly positioned to allow room for Sam Arion’s silky vocal to float between tracks without effort.
Eli Blackshear – https://soundcloud.com/user-886099565
Blackshear affects a buttery, lo-fi vocal united with a catchy and simple guitar track that serves its rhythmic purpose easily. Fluxing from slow jam ballads to upbeat, ample barre chord ditties, maintaining interest is no problem. While the musical aspect of Blackshear remains predictably linear, he shines bright with his raw, tone-generous, emotional vocal and lyrics.
Windspiel – https://soundcloud.com/windspielebers…
Featuring “music from the world”, Windspiel cross multi-lingual borders, with lyrics in Spanish, German and English to name a few. Their music is very easy listening, consisting of traditional acoustic instruments such as the double bass, violin, slap box and spanish guitar, they manage to create a ‘happening’ and driving rhythm that is quite easy to tap a foot or bob a head to. Windspiel is four friends making music about nature in an urbanised time and doing a good job at that.
Hey guys, our CD “Spuren im Sand” is now available for order and download on bandcamp 🙂 windspieleberswalde.bandcamp.com

Fernando Ferronato – https://ftferronato.bandcamp.com/
Classical guitarist Fernando Ferronato is a Brazilian musician and composer with the ability to manifest pensive moods through the sounds he creates on his instrument. He began playing at the age of twelve when his Godmother gifted him with his first guitar, since then he has honed his skills to a craft mirroring landscapes and the forces of nature. Often laced with a sense of urgency, seldom a gasp of air between the shower of notes and tones, the listener is kidnapped and hypnotised into a state of reflection.
Heeblay – https://heeblay.bandcamp.com/
Producing an eclectic, calming and enchanting soundscape, Gold Coast local Heeblay succeeds in delivering a layered texture of sounds backed by a haunting yet soothing vocal, the low key chanting of words resonates amidst a cluster of stringed, wind and percussive instruments the likes of which would be difficult to pronounce let alone play.
Heeblay has recently released the album ‘Something Big and Beautiful Like the Sky’ which is available on Bandcamp and everywhere else.
Amarante – https://soundcloud.com/amarantemusic
Josh and Jysi from Los Angeles form the alternative-folk duo of Amarante, specialising in an ethereal and captivating blend of music which they have recorded and produced themselves. Melding haunting vocals together with an interesting arrangement of sounds to create an open and airy feel, the final product is eminently listenable. If you have enjoyed past productions from the talented duo, then you will be happy to know Amarante released their fifth record, ‘Spirit of the Abyss’ last year.
