Dylan Chambers [2024] - I Can Never Get Enough [Self Released]

Dylan Chambers is originally from Arlington, TX, relocating to L.A. around a decade ago. We first featured his music in Feb '23 with the retro 60s single "Don’t Give Up On My Love".

He's released another five singles since then all with a retro sound, most being rather pop oriented. His recording career started in Aug 2020 with a debut single "I Can Do It Myself". Dylan has an appreciation of late 60s/early 70s soul music and his third single in Dec 2020 was a cover of Jackie Wilson's "(You're Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher".

His latest single, "I Can Never Get Enough", has a 70s pop-soul feel which, like the last one we posted from him, is catchy, commercial and undeniably an ear worm.

He has a seven track EP "For Your Listening Pleasure!" due on 17 May. This single and the previous one, "High (When I’m Low)", will feature on it.

Another Taste [2024] - Another Taste [Space Grapes] (Full Album)

Another Taste is a Rotterdam-born concept band formed by a group of long time friends Bobby van Putten (keys), Bob Roche (bass), Barend Lippens (keys) and Teun van Zoggel (drums). They are inspired by the obscurity and the do-it-yourself approach of private press culture of the late 1970s and 80s.

Their first releases were mostly a product of late night sessions at the studio of their co-producer Danilo Plessow (MCDE) which led to the founding of Space Grapes Records. The results of these sessions were released under various pseudonyms such as Mad Honey, GALXTC or Jambonne and garnered support from the likes of Gilles Peterson and Kenny Dope.

Their debut, self-titled, album consists of six tracks blending boogie, 70’s funk and obscure disco birthed from unearthing forgotten sounds and reinventing them for the modern era.

Whilst it is listed on Amazon, it doesn't seem to be available to purchase there but you can buy it digitally on Bandcamp and it is also available on vinyl HERE.
