on Woke Up This Mornin by MPOProduction
Not enough reggae here!! We need more. I wouldn't necessarily call it Roots, but that's ok. Got some soul influence maybe. Regardless, this fairly jumps out of my head phones and seriously swings, vocals are awesome, horns sweet, lyrics good. Ticks a lot of boxes for me.

Thanks for your feedback, I really appreciated it. Reggae forever, haha. I created the horns using Native Instruments Valves Pro. Its an amazing tool, but unfortunately pretty damn expensive.

Aptly titled! This is awesome, love it. Quirky and trippy, you created something highly original and it sounds great! Cheers Zoot.

on Today - feat True Sisters by fanisatt
I think Manuela is having a resurgence here, given all these tracks with her vocals, she must be haunting us. Respect on this track, I"ve never tried to build a whole song around an acapella and I think it would not be easy, and probably beyond me. Cheers Zoot.

on Sonido Nu Latino by Cosmo
Digging this. I love Latin music but as you say, this is New Latin music. I like the almost sparse arrangement in places, there's almost a dub or ambient influence somehow in there, as well as the jazz, and world elements. Love marimbas too. Great work, thanks for sharing. Zoot.

I love your approach to music. Fearlessly doing what you want creatively. It pays off on tracks like this. This is really beautiful well done. Cheers Zoot.

Thanks again. Music creation Is my hobby in my old age and therefore no obligations for the future, which gives you the freedom to make what you want, not what you have to.

on Saving Me by Kayos2
Beautiful all around as always. As a surfer there are times of struggle and fear! But mostly it is peace and space and meditation. But your lyrics and metaphor are spot on, as is your emotive voice and music. Wonderful stuff indeed.

Hi, nice guitar tone. It's a bit raga like. What's the bpm? Cheers Zoot.

Hi Zootman, I played without a tempo, so can't tell really. I've got the mustang plugin from fender in the DAW now which is quite nice to have.

on A Taste of Love by ShortBusMusic
Hi there, really enjoying this. It seems to emanate peace and goodwill somehow. Beautiful chords and guitar. Funny you colab with tumbleweed, I got confused as my first thought on hearing this was that this was his work! Great listen, been struggling to find much I like and want to comment on, at least in featured tracks lately. Cheers Zoot

Hey Zoot, thanks for stopping by. I have collaborated with Ed on a few tunes, and this one would have been much better with Ed on it instead of me, haha. I am glad you enjoyed it and hope it brought a moment of peace for you. As always, your time and kindness are appreciated. I hope all is well.

Hey AJ. I always look forward to hearing your stuff. Always lyrically interesting, often challenging. You blur the lines between a lot of things. I like that. Cheers Zoot.

on Can you get down with this by JAI26
Cool, I like the aggressive vocal. I haven't dabbled in AI at all, for better or worse I just want to create what I can on my own terms. I don't mind people using AI,but I want to know if what I'm listening to was created by a human. I know, it begs the question that if I can't tell the difference, why does it matter? ... it just does matter to me.

on Bounce Your Bonnet by dimestop
Defiant lyrics, and always defiantly yourself mate. Which is a good thing cause it keeps things authentic. I've just been up in Auckland to see David Byrne perform which was a bit of a dream fulfilled for me, being a long time Talking Heads fan. Anyway, nice work mate. Cheers Chris.

It's cool Rita, of course! Your music too? Sorry to hear you're not mending well, I hope things get better. All the best, Chris.

Thank you so much Chris.
Unfortunately, not my music.
I have beats I sing to, but most of my beats aren't the kind I can sing to. It's often a matter of luck that leads me to create a beat I can sing to, like my beat and song "I Gave You Gold, You Gave Me Rust."

on Sweet Nothings Original Mix by MisterBloodworth
Nice! Laid back, first thought when the beat dropped was, what a great sounding bass and bass line. I like the loose relaxed feel of this one. Cool without trying to be. Lovely synth work too. Cheers Zoot.

on Theologia Ex Machina by ValveDriver
You are not your body, you are not your mind.... I'm not sure if I find that comforting or disturbing. This is a very cosmic trip man. And is that the same poet you put on an old track of mine, lady Lazarus?? I need to listen to this a few more times to understand it I think. But the music itself is thoroughly cinematic, brooding and full of menace and danger. Interesting trip, Cheers Chris.
ValveDriver
ValveDriver replied 17th Jan 2026 - 3 weeks ago
If I remember correctly, Chris, the poet I used on Lady Lazarus was Sylvia Plath. The lady in this one is some random lady I found claiming to have had an interaction with Mother Mary and St. Michael. The male vocals are from someone reading the Prayer of St. Michael. I just processed them. Heavily.
I'm going to take "interesting" as a compliment. Mainly because I like to make art that makes people think. Not only in music, but in my drawing and painting as well.
Either way, thanks for having a listen, and leaving some feedback.
Take care.

on Whispers by AnthonyAttard
Hey man, this is really cool. I like it a lot. It's different without seeming like trying too hard to be. Some interesting chord changes too. I like the subtlety of it. Great sound too, I like the saturated, thick sound of it. Cheers Chris.
AnthonyAttard
AnthonyAttard replied 12th Jan 2026 - 4 weeks ago
Hello Chris
It is so nice to hear you liked the track...actually I was unsure about the possible reaction to it by listeners that are musicians. There is dynamics in all this, and I don't mean the song of course, I mean the interaction with AI, in various levels. The sound is something that always needs a lot of care during such a procedure but it also needs certain knowledge that I unfortunately lack. So it is just my "taste", it is how I try to present what is essential in a song..I really try.
Best wishes, Anthony

on Sankofa by Kayos2
This is brilliant! From the composition to the vocals and harmonies, to the beat and the beautiful clean guitar lines. Truly love this. Sounds like what I remember King Sunny Ade sounding like when I discovered African music for the first time. .. Could be wrong on that though, I'll have to go back and listen. How about a Fela Kuti type thing next?!! All the best, Chris.
