Chad Valley
Raven Child Blipping and tripping like a rave version of the Knife, Hugo Manuel of Oxford’s Chad Valley peaks early in his washed out rave-inspired chillwave pop.

Evan Voytas: Prince cover
Rainbow Child When Sarah first blogged about Evan Voytas back in July ’10 I thought I sensed an admiration for Prince’s sultry soulful R ‘n’ B. Well Voytas has now answered that question by covering The Family’s (one of Prince’s lesser known side projects) ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’. The song appeared on The Family’s 1985 […]
