The Winter Solstice this year brought us more than just a chill in the air, it brought us chill sounds from around the world, including a beautiful new mix of ambient pyschill soundscapes from Bulgarian DJs Therapist and AuroraX. I wrote about Therapist this summer as he was competing for a DJ spot at TREE OF LIFE, a Turkish outdoor psychedelic music festival. He has since joined Ajnavision Records , a label that supports several downtempo DJs, most of whom create psychill and international fusion sounds. [...]

Therapist is a downtempo DJ in Bulgaria that specializes in chillout, psychill and ambient styles. He is a regular at the European outdoor festivals and he shared a set designed to win him a spot at the upcoming Tree of Life festival in Turkey this summer. He creates his sets to be a fully immersive experience, where a listener can truly allow their feet to lift off the ground and float along, while allowing themselves to be moved by this energy that bubbles up inside them. I interviewed Therapist about downtempo music, DJing and festivals he's playing next. [...]

Therapist is a three piece indie band with members Suz residing in Phoenix, AZ, and Ant and Marco, both residing in California. They are shouty post-punk dance rock practitioners, and I love that shit. Suz sings with the right amount of snark and snarl and the music is tight and angular. Blake Miller from Moving Units delivers a tasty remix of their single I Know What I Want. Download their new

We first discovered Californian trio Therapist at the back end of last year with the release of their debut EP ' Heart Beats ' through Indian Gold Records . From that record is the track ' Suicide Box ', which has the honour of being the chosen song for the band's first music video. Shot and edited by Adrian Carmona , it's a relatively simple video yet still manages to ooze cool and show off a band full of punky energy and desire. [...]

We're desperately cramming in as much as we can this month - new stuff, our Twelve Days of Christmas feature, festive tunes, and shortly our Best Of The Year lists and guest posts. Consequently, all these tunes are deserving of more time and more space than we're giving them in this post, but rest assured there is a veritable feast of musical delights to get your ears around - dive in. Self-professed psychedelic cavemen, pounding out their primitive songs hastily in the garage, Thee American Revolution  bathes in the fuzz of the proceedings and have filled their debut [...]

If indie dance punk is your thing chances are Phoenix/California band Therapist will be right up your alley. Funky basslines, dancey beats and infectious female vocals always make for a good time, especially on the dance floor. They sent along their latest EP Heart Beats which they are offering as a name your own price option via their bandcamp and I'm digging it! Check out a couple of their tracks "Suicide Box" and "Downtown" [...]

Rosa Valle Uncompromising math rock four-piece from Middlesborough, Rosa Valle recently released their debut EP titled ' Holy Bermuda ', through a split between Holy Roar Records and Big Scary Monsters . Sounding like a cross between Rolo Tomassi at their heaviest, Foals at their gentlest, and The Murder of Rosa Luxemburg at their craziest, this EP demonstrates a band with a clear belief in their ideas and a band who possess an inherent desire to express themselves in [...]
I'm not an expert in therapy, but a session in which your patient is so upset by what you say to them they go home and start tweeting about how they'd like to kill themselves seems a bit of a failure, doesn't it? That's what happened to Sinead O'Connor last night , who appears to have been made so guilty over talking about sex in public that she took to Twitter to muse about how she might kill herself if she could do it in a way that her children didn't notice. Sounds a bit like [...]

Posted this a few months back but am reposting in light of some exiting news... We've been following J. Cole when his name use to be Therapist and are now  happy to report that Mr. Cole has been signed to Jay-Z's Roc Nation and is well on his way to what looks to be a promising career. To make it clear, J. Cole stands apart from the Kid Cudi, Wale and Drakes, and that's not taking anything away from them but he has his own lane, as they do. With that said here's the old post as we congratulate and [...]
