Shot through with shimmering, 80s electronic inflections, but with a core that's tangibly human and filled with the wide-eyed awe of stepping into the big city, Zebra and Snake's debut, Healing Music, is danceable and catchy, but with an audibly beating heart. "It's pop but then it's healing music - that's an idea that's carried through every song" say the band. "In [...]

Their Original which is sprung immediately into a cheerful, sing-a-long refrain as a catchy submarine tight melody, remains faultless across its three minute standing and is accompanied by another perfect remix shaped & moulded by London's Kashii .

Zebra and Snake es una banda de pop futurista, new wave, con base en la ciudad de Helsinki. Los integrantes son: Matti (bajo, cajas de ritmo, voz), Tapio (sintetizadores, voz) y Markus (batería en vivo).

SINGAPORE : I'm Waking Up To... Sonicbrat - Bed Of Forty Winks Sonicbrat is the enduring moniker of sound artist Darren Ng, whose work is characterised by an intricate tapestry of field recordings and found sounds, strung together by subtly processed acoustic instrumentation with a classical bent.
