Discovering New Music ‘Le Mellotron: Fakear’
One of my favorite discoveries this year was a YouTube series called ‘Le Mellotron‘. Straight from their ‘About’ page:
“Since 2012, Le Mellotron has been streaming from a roaming studio on the banks of the river Seine. Now re-located in a bar, in the vibrant area of République, Le Mellotron is a true community and underground radio station, broadcasting content that will appeal to all beats & melodies lovers.”
I was looking around for some Jonwayne videos, and found this session. It was so good, I kept watching, and next up was Fakear. If you’ve never listened to this guy, I highly recommend you open a tab with this video, right now!
If you are working on something, and need an excellent soundtrack to help you focus and keep motivated, this is your soundtrack. Enjoy!

Let’s check out Soundcloud

Be grateful. It can always be worse. Here’s a bunch of music I should learn to play on the piano, a nice repertoire and because my memory is shite, I have created yet another playlist to keep track of things I want to learn! Enjoy.
