I love music and sharing good music with other people. I’m a sucker for pop candy with a little bite to it. I post guilt-free MP3s, video streams, celebrity interviews, photos, and much more. I cover not only dance music or show tunes but also hip new indie rock, kicky remixes, foreign hits, and other eclectic selections you would not normally hear on the radio. (www.arjanwrites.com)

    My music is Piano Solo based, gentle, soft, ambient music.
    Somehow similar to Ludovico Einaudi or Yann Tiersen piano solo music.

    Can you give me your review?

    Thanks!

  24. David Austin Says:

    Hi Guys,

    I have my lovely neice (Rachel Austin) singing one of my tracks called “Crazy When He’s Not Calling”, she has a raw innocence to her voice which sounds so sweet, and was only 16 when she recorded this song.

    I would be so very grateful if you could listen to this track and consider for the ‘recommended’ list on indiestore.

    Also, my ‘Bossa Baby’ with Tenor Sax is very relaxing and is a good latin chill out track.

    Best regards,
    Dave Austin

  29. Joanne Says:

    Hi Guys

    Introducing you to the genre of C-Dub, brought to the UK by Daniel Orlick. C-Dub is a western/dub hybrid, topped off with Leftfield lyrics. His debut single, Devil’s Seed, has been loved by Clint Boon (XFM) who said it was, quote, ‘brill’; has been very positively reviewed by Manchester’s ITC team, and is the closing track on Glastonbury FM’s Leftfield Stage broadcast. The track proved a favourite on the streets and beaches of San Diego, and now I am throwing you the challenge of seeing how this music fares with the Indiestore collective. If you like it, please offer it as a recommendation on Indiestore. (indiestore.com/danielorlick). You may also really like the single Suburbia, newly posted on daniel’s own website.

    Thanks
