Bluestronica

 

"I started playing guitar at fourteen, and music has been part of my life ever since. Over the years I’ve been active in many parts of the European blues scene — as a musician, DJ, producer, promoter, label owner and collaborator.

Bluestronica brings together the different sides of that journey: blues roots, electronic grooves, recordings, collaborations and the music that shaped my path.

My musical roots are firmly in the blues, but traditions stay alive by evolving. Technology, electronic grooves and modern production approaches can give roots music new energy.

Bluestronica explores that space where blues feeling and electronic grooves meet — guitars with beats, old recordings inspiring new creations.

Over the years I’ve been involved in touring, recording and releasing music, both on stage and behind the scenes. Live performances, studio work and long-term collaborations have taken me to countless venues and festivals across Europe.

All those experiences, influences and connections now come together here, in Bluestronica — alongside artists, labels and projects that form part of a wider ecosystem of kindred spirits.

With every playlist, remix or collaboration my aim remains the same.

Artur Menezes Releases Blues-Driven Single “Not Today”

 

 

Fresh off his performance at Lollapalooza in Brazil - as the only blues rock artist in the lineup - guitarist, singer, and songwriter Artur Menezes announces the release of his new single “Not Today,” arriving April 11 on all digital platforms. The track is the second single from his upcoming independent album and showcases the bluesier side of the record while still pushing into modern and groove-driven territory.

“Not Today” explores the struggle of trying to stay sober while life keeps knocking you down. The lyrics follow the cycle of holding on, falling off, and starting over again, capturing the tension between determination and vulnerability. It is a song about resilience, setbacks, and the constant fight to move forward.

Sonically, the track draws inspiration from the hypnotic, loop-driven grooves of R. L. Burnside, combined with driving percussion, heavy slide guitar, and influences ranging from Johnny Winter to Beck. The result is a gritty, groove-heavy track rooted more directly in blues traditions than some of the heavier and more psychedelic tracks on the upcoming album, highlighting another side of Menezes’ sound while maintaining the raw energy and modern edge that define his recent work. Menezes’ vocals are strong, raspy, and full of character, carrying the emotional weight of the lyrics while the band locks into a deep, hypnotic pocket.

The single was produced by Pops Magellan, whose production approach continues to play a key role in shaping the sound of Menezes’ upcoming album, helping push the music beyond traditional blues into heavier and more contemporary territory while keeping groove and feel at the center of the music. She also plays bass and handles programming. "Not Today" also features Aaron Haggerty on drums, Randy Emata as mixing and tracking engineer and Fili Filizolla on mastering. 

The upcoming album is a fully independent, DIY release, reflecting Menezes’ commitment to artistic independence and creative control. With these new releases, he continues to push beyond traditional blues boundaries, blending heavy guitars, groove-driven rhythms, and psychedelic and alternative influences, expanding the genre into new territory and reaching audiences beyond the traditional blues world.

Born in Brazil and based in Los Angeles for the past decade, Menezes recently became a U.S. citizen and continues to build strong international momentum following major festival appearances, international touring, and a growing global audience.

WACHI

 

WACHI is a guitarist and composer whose music blends blues and neo-soul with a raw, expressive solo guitar style.He began playing guitar at the age of 14, inspired by the Japanese band LUNA SEA. Soon after, his brother introduced him to artists like Metallica, and discovering Pantera had a profound impact on his musical direction. By 16, he had formed his first band and started writing original metal music. At 18, he moved to Tokyo and established the band “Divine Era.”At 20, WACHI moved to the United States to study at the Musicians Institute, where he was exposed to a wide range of musical styles. During this time, he revived Divine Era, releasing three albums and touring extensively across the U.S.In 2020, he returned to Japan and began a new chapter, shifting his focus to solo guitar. Moving away from heavy metal, he developed a style rooted in blues and neo-soul, emphasizing feel, groove, and spontaneity. Performing at local bars, live houses, and on the streets of Tokyo while releasing singles independently, he refined a more intimate and expressive musical voice.His upcoming solo guitar album, My Spin on the Blues, features 10 tracks recorded entirely in one take, capturing the raw emotion and authenticity of his playing.

Beaker - 50 Men

 

“50 Men” is a tribute to Gisele Pelicot. She profoundly changed the narrative around shame and sexual violence, with her awe-inspiring response, when she waived her right to anonymity in the trial against her ex-husband and 51 other perpetrators. “Shame should change sides”.

It’s the band’s first single in 27 years, produced and mixed by esteemed producer Sam Williams (Supergrass, Plan B) at Temple Sound Studios throwing you back to the peak of the riot girl era of L7, Hole and the Breeders while still sounding edgy, fierce and current.

The track starts in a bare, understated fashion, with gently picked notes and a soft, lounge tinged jazz vocal gliding effortlessly over the song’s darkness. As “50 Men” unfolds, it gradually opens up with sharp, brooding guitars, and layers of haunting, choir-like vocals drifting in and out. By the end, everything gathers into a weighty, immersive swell. Vocals rich, visceral and intense; a pulsating ferocious anthem to inspire a whole new generation of girls.

The all-female group garnered a loyal following during the exciting days of the late-90s Oxford rock scene, making waves with their debut single ‘Backgarden’ as part of the Shifty Disco Singles Club in 1997 and with their double A-side ‘Monster’/ ‘Plastic’ on Fierce Panda in 1998. This sparked an extensive UK tour and an Oxford Radio 1 Sound City appearance in 1997.

Despite not having performed together since 1999, band members Sam Batlle (singer), Teresa Ward (guitar), Clare Howard-Saunders (drums) were brought together by the tragic death of bassist Kim Parsons in 2023 a quarter-century after they split. The mutual support they provided to each other in a time of sadness rekindled social and musical relationships, and inevitably led to talk of getting the old band together with the addition of new bassist Hayley Wright and backing vocalist Emma Hunter. Already there have been sold out shows and a rapturously received slot at Truck Festival and this April sees not only the single release but also a Radio 4 documentary on the band called "Band of Mothers" with an interview with Steve Lamacq and a feature on BBC Breakfast.

“Being an old lady in a heavy rock band feels even more ‘not the done thing’ than being a girl in a band felt in the 90s. I like that!” says singer Sam

“One of the most popular and influential bands on the Oxford scene.” Nightshift

Sonic Whip

 

 

The young guys in Sonic Whip have another single out this week, "Breathing Out" I think is the 4^th single to be released from their forthcoming album. Which I believe is set for the end of May, the Dutch have been hard at work gigging and venturing over the UK, as much as possible. So I`m sure this new album will see a lot more people in the UK, become aware of the guys in the coming months and year ahead.

We wanted to let you know that on Friday (3 April), we released our new single, “Breathing Out”!

‘Breathing Out’ is the fourth single to be released in the run-up to our new album, which will be released on 29 May. The song captures the feeling of overthinking, inner struggle, not feeling comfortable in your own skin, and the search for space to breathe again. It is a compelling rock ballad that starts small and vulnerable but grows into a powerful stadium anthem. The song was recorded in a remote studio in the Ardennes, together with producer Michael Smith (Wolf Alice, The Saints).

Known for blending 90s grunge influences with heavy, modern riffs, SONIC WHIP has built a reputation for uncompromising and electrifying live performances across Europe. Over the past year, the band has played major Dutch festivals including Zwarte Cross and Huntenpop, performed at UK festivals such as Firevolt Rock Festival and Wokingham Festival, and won two Radio Wigwam Awards for Best International Band and Best Live Act.
