Bulgarian-born, L.A.-based musician and composer Gueorgui Linev aka Kan Wakan, struck gold with his LP 'Moving On' two years back. Now drawing inspiration from his native city of Sofia and his grandmother, who fell into a coma, Linev has shared his gorgeous single 'Molasses' featuring the vocals of Elle Olsun. Slow-gripping with brilliant arrangements falling perfectly into place like pieces of a puzzle, the song emits a haunting feel reminiscent of acts such as Massive Attack.
Portishead make their return with a video for their cover of the ABBA track 'SOS', which is also featured on the soundtrack to the movie 'High-Rise'. Haunting in the known Portishead fashion, in terms of the actual video, basically what you get is a continuous shot of Beth Gibbons with her extending her hand out to the camera towards the tail end. There is also a quote from Helen 'Jo' Cox of the Labour Party, who sadly, was recently murdered in Birstall. Have a look.

If one were to take notes on the expansive career of Richard Dorfmeister and Rupert Huber, specifically their work as Tosca, what would be transparent is the refinement, taste and continued progression that their music has reflected. Part of a wave of producers who helped to spearhead in an electronic movement throughout the 90s that took on various titles such as acid jazz, trip-hop and in the 2000s, future jazz, Tosca's sound could be appropriately called simply...timeless, forward-thinking music, opposed to any infliction of tags. It is that process of transcending any one label that has kept the two musicians consistently relevant for two decades.
