"An undeniably jubilant collection of compositions, remixes and collaborations that can't help but make us wonder what their next musical challenge will revolve around." Wow! What a lovely review of my Sax Trax EP with CommsBreakdown @steveash.bsky.social www.blueingreenradio.com/2026/05/new-...

cover art collage of the four releases included in Blue-in-Green:RADIO's New Music Round-UP for May 2026:

'Dust' by The Night Service Commute
'Highlife' by Alpacas Collective
'Sax Trax' by CommsBreakdown & Socool
'From 'Burgh to the World' by Edy Forey

'Sax Trax' by CommsBreakdown & Socool
Swiftly following up on their 'My Brain Feels So Good' collaboration from just a few months ago, Emily "Socool" Sobool once again connects with Steve "CommsBreakdown" Ash to merge their respective tendencies for Socool's more sublime, downtempo productions alongside the drum & bass aesthetic more commonly associated with CommsBreakdown releases. While their previous single release stemmed from conversations about the use of guitars within electronic music - subsequently resulting in each artist reinterpreting a guitar riff recorded by Ash for two varying mixes, 'Sax Trax' finds itself a project that has found life from a similar starting point. This time, however, the challenge finds the two substituting the guitar for a dMoney saxophone sample with each artist analysing, dissecting and recontextualising the recording into a selection of new compositions. Across the EP's six tracks, there's a fascinating gamut of electronic music interpretations of tracks like the broken beat/trip hop-inspired 'Sax Appeal', the more chilled-out reprise of 'Westwild' or the funk-filled breaks of 'Funk My Sax'. An undeniably jubilant collection of compositions, remixes and collaborations that can't help but make us wonder what their next musical challenge will revolve around.

That feeling when your favourite radio show invites you to do a guest mix 😃 Join me at 10pm (UK) on @blueingreenradio.bsky.social for an exploration of some of my most loved chillout and downtempo music. www.blueingreenradio.com/p/listenlive...

Frequency Liberated airs tonight at 10pm(UK) striving to push beyond boundaries of what contemporary soul and jazz is and offering an alternative approach to cosmic realms from around the world courtesy of the dynamic minds of the o.t.h.e.r.w.o.r.l.d twins...

Tonight's extra special show finds one of the show's heroes manning the decks for a scintillating 60 minutes. As an incredibly prolific DJ, producer and vocalist, Emily "Socool" Sobool has consistently managed to create intricate, nuanced and dreamy musical soundscapes that have seen her cultivate a wonderful catalogue in recent years. With releases through Davis Hanke's Bathurst label, Andy Stockton's drum & bass hub of Dragon Trax and frequent contributions to the co-op Bonk Knob Records - not withstanding her own independent releases - Socool's affections for sublime and downtempo musical excursions prove an engaging and joyous adventure with each outing and a perspective that translates beautifully into today's guest mix.

With her music consistently boasting a strong presence throughout Frequency Liberated shows over the years, it's with incredible pride that we can showcase the golden #Socool touch for today's show. Boasting some sublime downtempo treasures, we'll be treated to selections from #Bonobo #Klaverson #Mala #CommsBreakdown #iZem #CiboMatto and thankfully a few Socool tracks thrown in as well.

Our eternal thanks to the wonderful Socool who gifts us a genuine slice of magic today. You can catch the show as it airs tonight at 10pm via any of the links below...

Here's a little preview of Aurosa... Wikipedia tells me that Aurosa "is a genus of cnidarians belonging to the family Ulmaridae. The Ulmaridae are a family of jellyfish, which includes the famous moon jellies." So when I listen to my track I picture jellyfish dancing around the depths :)
