Featured Artist:

Max Carmichael

he is an explorer, guiding through the strange past, shooting forwards into a

 future that shapeshift shivers , motorcycle throb, falling glass tension,

 torchlight in the dark soothing sometimes,whispering sensual danger too.

he plays with words,juggles images, combines the pop detachment of the

 new wave with the healthy intrusion of world rythmns

he is the sly professor concocting joyful experiments, he flirts with new

 sounds old instruments, the electro, the ambient, the post punk

he is ambitous, yet serene, giddy yet somehow always quite subtle

he has two albums out at the same time

and he is all over the NBTMusicRadio

Featured Band

Shoot For The King

Shoot For The King create a melodic jangle noise, bouncer tough yet candy

 coated indie dance-floor shuffle. A devious mix of dark heart and candid

 optimism, this music swaggers and struts with just the right amount of

 arrogance sweetened with charming vulnerability.

They don’t play the obvious pop games, don't sing down to their audience,

 and refreshingly have faith in the idea that the curious and the intelligent

 also groove to the rock n roll alternative.

You can find Shoot For the King spread all over the NBTMusicRadio

Featured Label

RayRecordings

Managed with care and love by Filippo Gaetani, the artists all share the

same mood, of thoughtfulness, gentle introspection, and art of describing

thoseflickering things we see just on the edge of perception, hidden in dark

 corners, living healthy in waking dreams.

The Artists on this label, are able to deliver sharp focus to difficult emotions,

 while never quite giving up the enticing ambiguous blur of our day to day

 battles.
