It’s Mag Monday! Presented to you this wonderful Tuesday evening! Relive the joys and excitement of Monday mornings RIGHT NOW with your weekly-ish dose of tasty tunes! (I’ve been busy, so today is Monday OKAY?!?)

First up is a track called ‘Summit‘ by Sky Larkin. They’re a Leeds band from.. uh, Leeds. I don’t actually know much about this band other than they’re on the Dance To The Radio label, were featured on compilation by DDTR and I really like the track. It’s been on repeat here for a while, it’s a really really great track.

We then have ‘Peacock Dance‘ (which was emailed to us twice (I missed the first email (Sorry!)))) by Matt Kanelos & The Smooth Maria. Don’t be put off by the name, this is a stunning, stunning track. Since I suck at making comparisons to similar sounding bands, I’ll just say it’s a slow, piano-driven song accompanied by whisper-quiet strings, distant percussion and it climbs and builds its way up to a fantastic climax. I’m interested in hearing more from this band, they really did take me by surprise and were love at first listen!
