To modify anything is to simply make changes. It would then make sense for well-respected musicians Adam Scrimshire and Dave Koor to come together to alter the current state of music, powered by sophisticated instrumentation and the idea of futurism. This concept of pushing sound forward also comes from firmly planted roots steeped deep in jazz, soul, funk, afrobeat, rock, electronica and more. These are genres that both Scrimshire and Koor know well with keen expertise. This is also why their 'Modifications: Set 1' album under the guise of Modified Man will undoubtedly go down as one of the most entertaining and important releases of the year.

Mike Davies respects music. This is the kind of respect to harks back to the love of sound created by masters of the craft with an intent on furthering legacies that were laid previously. Couple that with a magnificent voice, exquisite songwriting along with lush guitar playing and what you have is his organically rich, debut LP 'All Inside Your Head'. Considered to be a documentation of life experiences spanning the past decade, the album perfectly weaves pop, soul, indie folk and even bits of jazz into one finely-tuned package. With classic components of sound that completely bursts through, Mi'das has a touching record that he can indeed be proud of, which will also stand the test of time.
