Editor's note 

Hello, Bonjour, Ola, Ciao! I hope you're well wherever you are, welcome to 

our crazy creative world. 

July 2016, KISSTORY is my current soundtrack. There's certainly been a fair 

amount of goings on in the world. We got Belgium in the Euro 2016 football 

sweepstakes on twitter by @cakeclubhour, and are doing pretty well! Over 

on our blog, we have a selection of alternative festivals to Glasto as well as 

news on the Brooklyn Brewery UK record label. We would like to introduce 

and thank Cover The Earth electronic music label and 7 Virtual Jazz Club for 

sponsoring us this month. 

Inside AM027: Steve discusses his fondness for animations and the music 

used in them. Sarah attended the 3-day Lake Shake festival and reports back 

with her thoughts on the experience and Country music artists who 

performed. We share with you the aims of Vinyl For A Cause's funding 

campaign to further assist musicians and give back to charity. Also sharing, 

Mauritian teens express their opinions for music day saying that without 

music we'd have "pou enn mond san kouler" / "a world without colours". 

Settle down to a dinner at sunset with David, being inspired by an India Arie 

song, he turns this into a poetic story of a beautiful moment. Mary and 

Tamara were lucky to grab front row seats at the Zakk Wylde concert in 

Zurich, read the review and take a look at the gig in photos. We've also got 

your festival guide, radio listings and new music from Box Bottom, 

Kurvature Music, Elchinsoul and Liyv.

Ti Komik 

Cartoons 

One of the joys of fatherhood is 

to share with my lil girl the love 

for animation movies. I 

rediscovered my love for tikomiks. 

I generally would start 

the movie for her but finally get 

caught up and end up watching it 

full. What I like most about 

mangas, toons and animation 

movies is the soundtrack, 

especially the opening theme. 

Here are some of my favs. 

My farthest memory in my early 

years is with Lucky Luke ending 

theme “Lonesome Cowboy” with 

that country accent and the back 

vocals especially the bass voice 

lines. Tom Sawyer and 

Huckleberry Finn openings are 

also fresh in my mind. The 

Moomins was the opportunity to 

learn my first guitar chords and 

strumming, I still remember at 

one Brotherhood Concert at St 

Esprit College being next to the 

stage with some friends playing 

that song while everyone was 

gazing at us, I thought that their 

expression would have been 

“Hey... WTF”. I know The Cure with 

Boys Don’t Cry but rediscovered 

them on a catchy song with a 

guitar intro in the “The Cure Style” 

on Dragon Hunter Song of Dragon 

Hunters cartoon. I would never 

miss any episode of Space Goofs 

and most of all the voice of Iggy 

Pop on Monster Men which I was 

trying to reproduce where he goes 

in low notes finishing on those 

'lalala lala lala la…' 

In my early 20’s I came across two 

mangas which I would never 

forget, Naruto (Shippuden) and 

Full Metal Alchemist. What I love 

about the two stories is the will to 

reach one’s goal to fight, bleed 

and even die for it. There are 

openings that just boost that 

fighting spirit in me, namely 

Rewrite Haruka Kanata from Asian 

Kung Fu Generation and Tōmei 

datta Sekai by Motohiro Hata. 

These songs made me discover 

the Asian rock which is full of 

musical shades. There’s a sort of 

freshness in their creations, being 

at times very clinical. 

For the time being, I am being 

overdosed with the animation 

movies. I can say that I nearly know 

every part of Frozen for the 

number of times it has been 

played ... well I have stopped the 

count! The song I prefer from that 

movie is from Olaf the Snowman 

11

The Summer Song. Planes has a 

nice OST with the sneak peek 

scene song. The second movie 

Plane 2 is introduced with a nice 

and soft trumpet intro. ACDC is on 

that soundtrack too bringing a 

boost to the fire fighting scene 

with Thunder Struck. The ending 

theme of Monster Academy with 

nice brass sections solos and 

sounding jazzy is also 

appreciable. I have been several 

times through the movie 

Rapunzel and was delighted with 

the vilains songs “I’ve got a 

dream”. One best ROFL I’ve got is 

with Shaun The Sheep when the 

sheep started singing and playing 

to make a lil one sleep. One of the 

sheep got a lyrical part turning to 

a soprano; my daugher turned to 

me and laughed out load saying: 

“Haha she sings just like you”. 

Here are the my favs. I am 

enjoying each day of it as I know 

these moments are experienced 

once and they are one of a kind. 

One thing for sure I know is even 

being a dad and being in my 

thirties; I still crave for ti-komiks.

Sarah takes on the Windy 

City Lake Shake Festival! 

Howdy! Over the weekend of June 

17-19, 2016, Chicago hosted its 

second Lake Shake festival, which 

is a three-day country concert! I 

went with girls from B96, and I am 

bringing the recap of the festival 

right here to Sarah’s Thoughts. 

This was my first time at a music 

festival in general where I went all 

three days, so the entire 

experience was brand new. 

Overall, this entire weekend 

showed me how much rock and 

some pop is incorporated in 

today’s country music. 

games to play, (and for those that 

aren’t familiar, bags is a game with 

two boards with a hole people try 

to toss bean bags into. Other 

people call it baggo and cornhole). 

There were food trucks, another 

stage for up-andcountry 

artists from 

called Next from 

Nashville, and a swing 

ride. B96’s sister station 

called US99.5 was a sponsor 

of the entire festival, so I 

coming 

a stage 

was running into people from my 

work left and right. It was one big 

summer party! 

Want to shout out to Dee Jay Silver 

who played in between each act 

all three days. He kept the party 

going and played all the classic hits 

in all genres, so it kept the energy 

up. He was amazing. 

FRIDAY NIGHT - June 17, 2016 

We got there during the first act- 

Jana Kramer. She has a hit country 

song called “I Got the Boy,” which 

is about watching someone you 

dated when you were young grow 

up into a man and fall in love with 

someone else. 

After Kramer, we walked around 

the festival. It had plenty of bags 

Following Kramer, Granger Smith 

came on, and he was one rocker! 

He sang a song that has been stuck 

in my head since called “Country 

14 


15

16 

Boy Love,” and man, after this 

weekend I don’t think I can date 

anyone else other than a country 

boy! 

Kacey Musgraves was after Smith, 

and the best way to describe her 

ambiance is peaceful. Her music 

was all about minding your own 

business, living your life how you 

want, and being happy. It was very 

calming, and kind of hilarious that 

she made her band wear matching 

outfits consisting of bolos and 

suits. She said it best “Mind your 

own biscuits, and life will be 

gravy.” 

Everyone (mainly girls, but some 

boys too) were there that night for 

a man by the name of Sam Hunt. 

He is the definition of an American 

overnight sensation, where almost 

all the songs off his debut album 

Montevallo have become singles, 

or well-known. Hunt was supposed 

to play professional American 

football, but followed his passion 

for singing for the past couple of 

years. His music combines country, 

rock and a little bit of rap, so it’s 

very a modern style of country. He 

was wearing a SnapBack, long 

white t-shirt and ripped jean 

shorts. Definitely not that country. 

Since he has so many singles, here 

is a song that isn’t one that’s perfect 

for the summer called “Single for 

the Summer.” He covered 

“Marvin’s Room” by Drake, along 

with other of his favorite songs on 

country radio. One interesting fact 

was he and Old Dominion help 

write each other’s songs, so he 

covered their song “SnapBack.” 

Lady Antebellum followed Hunt, 

and while they played all their hits, 

I was blown away by their covers 

of “Can’t Stop the Feeling” by 

Justin Timberlake and “Take it 

Easy” by The Eagles. I wonder if it 

is different for them touring 

together after Charles Kelley tried 

starting a solo career. 

SATURDAY NIGHT - June 18, 2016 

This night started with a very 

hungry squirrel eating some 

popcorn we brought with, so we 

almost walked away with a pet, 

other than the experience of a 

concert. 

We showed up just in time for Jon 

Pardi to sing his hit song “Head 


17

18 

over Boots,” which is one of the 

best songs on country radio to 

singalong to in the car. He ended 

up doing a meet and greet 

afterwards, so we got to meet him! 

We stayed more in the Next from 

Nashville tent today to hear upand-comers 

like Brett Young and 

Clare Dunn. We rode the rides, we 

felt more at home this day. 

Martina McBride, Brooks & Dunn 

and Tim McGraw were headliners 

this night, and to be honest, I barely 

knew any of their songs. But to be 

in the crowd with everyone else 

singing along made it worth it. Just 

learned my lesson to do my 

homework and learn at least a few 

songs before I see an artist live. Or 

else you will stand there bopping 

your head not knowing what beat 

is coming next. 

The one song that got everyone 

pumped up was McGraw’s “I like It, 

I Love It,” which is a song about 

liking crushing on a girl, and not 

being scared away. 

SUNDAY NIGHT - June 19, 2016 

While walking into the festival, we 

saw a man walking an iguana on a 

leash, so that was the start to the 

night. 

First, it felt like it was a million 

degrees outside, so being in a 

crowd was the last thing we wanted 

to do. But, we showed up during 

Chris Janson’s set and he was 

probably the biggest ball of energy 

with the most beautiful blue eyes. 

It made us forget about the heat! 

He has a song called “Buy Me a 

Boat,” which I really don’t know the 

meaning of, but it is a total summer 

song. 

Much like Friday night, most girls 

were here this night for another 

man by the name of Thomas Rhett. 

Everything about him is perfect, 

from the love he has for his wife, 

to his style, to his music, to his cover 

of “Cake By the Ocean” by DNCE. It 

was incredible. My actual favorite 

song at the moment is “Die a Happy 

Man,” which is probably the 

sweetest song I have ever heard in 

a long time, so there might have 

been a tear or two that shed during 

that song live. 

Brooks & Dunn played again, while 


they were onstage we ate loaded 

tater tots, best choice. 

Jason Aldean closed out the night, 

and he just reminds me of a grizzly 

bear. He captured the stage in a 

way where I felt a bit intimidated, 

but that means he had extremely 

strong stage presence. 

I am amazed by how much synth, 

guitar solos and heavy bass is used 

in live country music. I know plenty 

of people that make fun of the 

genre for being all banjos, but I 

really felt like it was more than just 

country, but like a rock and pop 

crossover. The artists were fun, 

good-looking (I mean, come on), 

and everyone in the crowd was 

having a blast. Already looking 

forward to going back next year! 

THANK YOU LAKE SHAKE!

Dinner at Sunset 

Rays of lights protruded the clouds and hit the ocean causing the waves to 

shimmer gold. We were sitting by the coast, on a wooden patio of a cafe, 

having the most amazing pasta. The sunlight hit your face emitting a 

beauty that was like no other. The evening was absolutely perfect. You 

were absolutely perfect. The sea breeze blows gently against our faces. I 

could almost taste the salt in the air as I took a bite of my piping hot 

pasta, it brought out hidden flavours in the dish that made the whole 

experience an absolutely magical one. 

It was starting to drizzle under the sun, but it did not matter to us. We 

took the moment as a blessing, and every breath like it was our last. It 

almost seemed like a dream. The perfect place, at the perfect time, but 

most importantly I was with the perfect company. Nothing else mattered. 

We looked at each other and giggled at the awkward silence. I guess I was 

at a loss for words from how angelic you looked. An angel that God sent 

to bless the universe. He gave a laughter to you that was so joyous, no one 

would ever feel sadness again. He placed a perfect smile on your face that 

melts the hearts of humans, and inspires them to smile the same. What 

baffles me was that, well... He gave me you. On my own I’m only half of 

what I should be. But with you by my side, everyday seemed like a dinner 

at sunset. 

I drew my eyelids close and luxuriated in the magnitude of serenity. 

You got me on a natural high...

Gorje Hewek & Izhevski - After Rest 

Love this light and feelgood tone from the 

Russian artists. It most certainly evokes a 

summer attitude and is reminiscent of 

some of the iconic Ibiza lounge style tracks 

- most noticably X-Press 2 ft David Byrne's 

'Lazy'. 

As played on The Chillout Lounge Mix - Es 

Vive by Tim Angrave. 'After Rest' was 

released on the Ladies And Gentlemen 

label in 2012 as part of the 'Time For House 

2' compilation. 

Box Bottom ft. Dubble A Star & Nat Jay - 

Do You Really Wanna Do This 

A fun and fast-paced tempo and urban 

style accompanied by fresh bubbly lyrics. 

Box Bottom’s new single Do You Really 

Wanna Do This is the official ‘Vimto Remix’ 

sync. The track will be heard nationwide 

from Spotify playlists to cinema adverts 

to promote Vimto’s new product. The track 

has already reached 1-2 million fans in a 

sponsored Snapchat lens 25th June and 

the Vimto/Box Bottom partnership and 

was featured in Music Week 27th June. 

soundcloud.com/allow-it-records

'Killing Me' by Hectic featuring Camille has been twisted in 

new directions in this remix package. Monkixx's version is 

seductive and moody with a funky beat. Bigseuf turns down 

the levels into something dark and gritty. Ending this trio of 

edits, Samantha Togni also plays with the texture and 

creates a syncopated rhythm. 

Cover The Earth is proud to present 'Killing Me: The Remixes' 

by Hectic and Camille. Following on from their successful 

collaboration, 'Golden', three very different artists were 

recruited to reimagine the second track from the EP, 'Killing 

Me'. Kicking things off is UK based producer, Monkixx (Route 

One Audio, Hoxton FM), who delivers a stripped back, bass 

heavy garage banger. Next is French artist Bigseuf (Route 

One Audio, Le French Work) who serves up a frantic four 

minutes of his signature footwork while London based DJ/ 

producer/ radio presenter Samantha Togni (Dirty Diana, 

Church of Dreams, Reel Rebels Radio) rounds things off with 

a deep, dark and brooding head nodder. Altogether, this is a 

hard hitting remix EP from an amazing collective of diverse 

and talented artists. 

To be released on Cover The Earth, 22nd July 2016

“The video tells us a story about a 

simple guy, who dreams about being a 

drummer in a cool band, instead of 

being a dishwasher in a café. On 

turning on the music while riding a 

bicycle on his way to work early in the 

morning, he tries to make it in time 

and still continues dreaming on the 

road. His trip becomes an interesting 

adventure in which, at least in his 

mind, his dreams come true. No 

matter what your day job, leave some 

place for what your heart tells you, 

and as this story tells – music. Never 

stop dreaming big!”

MaHA Rocks - In Mind 

Beginning with the strumming edgy guitar riff, visually reflected by matching 

movements to the beat. I love the motion effects playing with the pace. There 

is also a hint of a comical nature, the male character clearly startled by setting 

his eyes upon the singer. The vocals kick in. 

We cut away to the performance of MaHA Rocks and her band. In a twist that 

the man is the drummer.. 

The rhythm is addictive. The raw nature, the 

deep roots and intoxicatingly tone. 

He regains consciousness with 'in 

Mind' in full swing through his 

earphones. In his own mind, 

his role of the drummer 

continues. Individuals he 

passes by also join this band 

with cleverly thought out 

movements.

“We did shooting during 

late April and the beginning 

of May in Kyiv, Ukraine. 

Professional musicians, 

actors and filmmakers 

participated in the process 

of video production. While 

shooting, we all were very 

excited and had a lot of fun. 

It happened to be a very 

musical event.”

A dark combination of sounds which take you along a journey like 

no other. Submerge yourself into warped vocals and disorientated 

yet addictive tones. 

The debut release from Kurvature Music is aptly titled 'El Principio', 

the Spanish translation of 'The Beginning'. Featuring 5 different 

tracks from 5 different artists including Eskuche & Nu Sky and 

Tom Davies, the EP manages to touch the boundaries of House & 

Techno staying true to its sound of natural feel-good grooves. 

To be released on Kurvature Music, 25th July 2016.

Embark on a journey into outer space with this 

Psychedelic Trance release. Open your thoughts to a 

world beyond the restrictions and restraints of day-today 

life. Set forth into a deeper state of mind and let the 

futuristic sounds take you away. 

'After a few years of listening and gathering in psychedelic 

party’s as a DJ, my vision of music has changed for 

something more spiritual - a communion between mind, 

soul and body. It is a shared reflection of freedom, by 

healing the soul through music.' U.Z 

To be released on AWJ Recordings, 14th July 2016.

The 'Bigo EP' by Elchinsoul is 

comprised of 4 tracks in a 

minimal Tech House style. The 

dark tones drive deeper into 

the unknown. These are great 

to dip into and carry through 

the club vibe with a light touch. 

Elchinsoul explains that he had 

the ideas for the release and 

worked on production since a 

year ago. The EP is aimed to be 

a set of "strong tracks for the 

main period of the party." 

After the sensation caused by 

his last release, Elchinsoul 

comes back strong with another 

battle cry into the darkness on 

Cellaa Music. In his usual 

nonchalant style, you can 

expect deep driving 

arrangements. Through the 

precisely applied sub-basses 

and the unobtrusive synth 

pads, a first class soundperformance 

is guaranteed. 

Made to fill dark basements, 

clubs and also festivals with 

sound. The EP contains 4 tracks 

and includes a masterpiece of a 

remix by Sven Jaeger, and a 

special vinyl only track, which 

will not be availeable digitally. 

If you have listened to the full 

EP, there only will be 4 words 

to describe it: this is dope... ! 

To be released on Cellaa Music, 

4th July 2016.

Having previously played this track, 

RCM introduces 'Little Fox' on podcast 

#187 by saying, "you know what, we'll 

carry on playing it because she makes 

great music." 

www.liyv.co 

RCM champion incredible 

undiscovered & under-appreciated 

music from around the world. Here are 

a few favourite's this month.. 

Liyv – Little Fox 

I love this song. Instantly your mind is 

intrigued by the high tones and 

textural developments into the main 

section and throughout. It is intricately 

constructed and creates a really 

beautiful work of artistic audio. 

Liyv is a Dreampop / Future Pop artist 

from Seattle. 'Little Fox' is the fifth 

track of her project to make one song 

a month. She makes a wonderful 

statement, "I make songs for sad 

people who like bright colors." 

_________________________________ 

IN THE PRESS 

RCM's Mark was recently interviewED 

in the UK newspaper, Metro. He 

embarked on a journey - a challenge - 

to break an unsigned group (Broken 

Witt Rebels) in just ten weeks with 

media only. That means, zero airplay 

and zero label heads. Simply stripping 

back to the roots and just 

communicating the band's artistic 

minds across media platforms. 

Why? Because the music industry is a 

tough old cookie for independent acts, 

without a huge amount of money or a 

big company behind you - you could 

be better than MJ, but remain unheard. 

This is a really great project to revive 

the industry and bring out really 

unique artists. 

Did he succeed? Well, we'll let you find 

that out for yourselves!

A breathtakingly powerful 

classical voice bursts through, you 

are simply astounded & 

mesmerised by Jonathan. 

The 'Believe' album by Jonathan 

Antoine is already gaining great 

support with fans in favour of his 

newly developed optimistic nature. 

Described as the ‘Teenage 

Pavarotti’ as he rose to stardom 

through Britain’s Got Talent, 

Jonathan Antoine has not rested on 

his laurels after his first solo album 

Tenore went straight to No. 1 in the 

Classical charts and stayed there 

for 3 weeks as well as being John 

Suchet’s Classic FM album of the 

week. After a string of live 

performances around the UK, 

Jonathan Antoine announces his 

second solo album Believe, coproduced 

by Chris Broom and 

Clarissa Farran and recorded at 

‘British Grove Studio’ and “Air-Edel 

Studios” in London. 

Believe, a hashtag Jonathan and his 

fan base (aptly named The 

‘Fantoines’) began using in August 

2015 has great significance to 

Jonathan. After battling with 

depression when he was younger, 

Believe signifies Jonathan’s change 

in mind state and shows how much 

he has developed, not only as a 

Tenor but also a person. 

To be released on Cavendish 

Records, 19th August 2016.
