Flip Winfield – Dance (ft. Fernando Richardson & Jonathan Boddie)
Flip is timeless with his R&B, Funk and Pop beats, his throwback to better times with lyrics move listeners forward. Keeping it real, Flip Winfield’s style is inspired beats that makes his music stand out from everything else out there.
“What inspired me to write the song was one day at soundcheck before the show I was messing around on the drums jamming to the beat that you hear on Dance and start singing the hook to the song goofing around during soundcheck as I always do before every show having fun you know.I noticed that beat had people that worked in the venue dancing and that took off into a 20min jam session just singing the hook, then it sparked me to write the song when I got home. I heard a couple of band members say man I can’t get that hook out of my head and I knew it had potential. So I wrote the song called band members into the studio the following week and we laid it down. I’ve always been the type of person that loves high-energy music that sends electricity through your body that makes you feel good to be alive, so my goal is to send a message about jamming to your favorite song no matter what it is.”
Flips first single, “Dance” is now out with his EP (with the same title) will be dropping in early 2021. This highly energized recording artist will be bringing the party to all stages with their super-charged performances in the new year.

Ways – Death Row
French alternative metal quintet Ways have premiered their brand new single and music video for “Death Row”. The single comes from the group’s upcoming record titled, AFTERMATH set to release March 15th.
“We are very excited for everyone to finally see the music video for our first single of our new EP, “Aftermath”, says guitarist, Nicolas Reignier.
With the new album, the band brings their beliefs to the table in the new album which speaks of the many problems we see today including global warming, animal cruelty and much more.
Reignier continues, “The single titled, “Death Row” and was written by us when we were going through a time where we felt the emergency of the situation of an animals life. We wanted to write something that spoke exactly how we felt. This song is about fur and, by consequences, about animals mistreatment. We don’t understand why a lot of animals are killed for their fur… Most people of the world don’t need fur for protection to the cold, we have a lot of alternative clothes for that. This just for fashion and is cruel.”

indifferentMonKeY – God or Machine?
indifferentMonKeY has released the video for the track titled ‘God or Machine?’. A few weeks ago we reviewed the single from indifferentMonKeY and now the video, in my opinion, encapsulates the darkly sensual and introvertedly rhythmic sense of self within the song. Belle’s voice is angelic with a touch of sin and her walk on the beach gives that longing for what once was in this world. Doing that with style is an originality just out of reach from most but firmly in the grasp of indifferentMonKeY. Future funk with a touch of the new reality.
Their debut E.P. ‘Inner Lockdown’ is due for release in April 2021.
About indifferentMonKeY
‘God or Machine?’ starts with a thunderstorm, the rain you can hear is real. The audio is a home studio where the vocals were laid down in a day, a real storm was overhead. Although the rain was pounding on the windows they decided to carry on recording, joking it would add to the atmosphere, on mixing the track, the elements proved to lend themselves perfectly to this brooding, beat-heavy gem. With stunning vocals from Belle and a superb mix/production, you could easily believe ‘God or Machine’ was a hidden track on Massive Attack’s legendary ‘Mezzanine’.
indifferentMonKeY was formed by songwriter/producer Joe Lowe, the sound is drawn from a number of influences and styles but is best described as ‘Heavy Trip Hop’.
The band kicked this year off in style having been played on BBC Introducing with Sean McGinty throughout the whole of January and the track will also be appearing on U.S music publication Relix Magazine’s CD sampler this coming March.
indifferentMonKeY are:
- Belle: Vocals
- Joe Lowe: Writer, arranger, and producer. Bass Guitar, Guitars, Strings, Vocals.
- Luke Wilding: Bass & Guitars
- Keith Ashcroft: Bass & Guitars (Guitarist on “Murder on the Dancefloor” by Gregg Alexander and Sophie Ellis-Bextor). Keith very sadly passed away suddenly a few months ago. RIP Keith Ashcroft. We’ll always miss you always.
