Substance Is Meaningless Top tracks – June 2018 – Part 2
We have another extremely eclectic selection of tracks for you as we reach mid-June and are on the cusp of the World Cup, where everything stands still for four weeks, but not here! Check out the best tracks that landed in our inboxes so far this June.
AT PAVILLON – Stop This War
Well, this is one weird little video from the sharply-dressed Austrian quartett At Pavillon, as lead singer Mwita Mataro is held captive by three man-children and their sugar daddy. Thankfully, the song that accompanies it is anything but weird as Stop This War focuses on putting an end to pointless bloodshed and quarrels.

Friday Feeling: Iamalex X Hazy Year – Hollywood
We’ll be honest straight off the bat here, no remix is ever going to be able to top Kanye’s original. It’s a feel-good, party warm-up track that just hits all the right spots. Like […]
Mascha – Wie 1 James Bond Song
It’s days like these that I’m extremely grateful to be able to speak two languages. Why? Because the German lyrics in this track by Ukrainian-born, Vienna-based artist Mascha are bloody brilliant. Now, you may be […]

Watch the video to Saltwater Sun’s new track – The Wire
I don’t know why, but this video to Saltwater Sun’s new track, The Wire is just awesome. Perhaps it’s because it’s surreal, or perhaps it’s because you probably wouldn’t really blink an eyelid anymore to a bloke dancing through the park in a suit. Watch it below.
