Lyrics: 

I'm the cliche, doomsday, quit that job. 
I'm not ok on this clock
How dare you be real when everything's ironic
The Mad Hatter's tea is quite the tonic.

Can you beat The Wall?
Can you beat The Wall?

I'm kinda happy but I'm kinda broke, 
Trying to make my way in the big fat smoke. 
Dear the big boys, making noise, drop a key
in the wishing well of my fantasy. 

Can you beat The Wall?
Can you beat The Wall?

I'm the freeze frame, no shame, solve the riddle:
Who's right on the edge but from a town in the middle?
No I'm not sorry, I'm not done, 
Blow a big kiss, never miss, flex those guns

Can you beat The Wall?
Can you beat The Wall?
Can you beat The Wall?
Can you beat The Wall?

The Wall

“Taking Flight” is a heartfelt anthem about embracing change and finding strength in vulnerability. With soaring melodies and reflective lyrics, Carina Marie captures the bittersweet moment of letting go—whether of a person, a place, or a version of yourself—to step boldly into the unknown. The song weaves together gentle piano and lush harmonies to create a sense of motion, hope, and emotional release.

Carina’s voice, both intimate and powerful, guides listeners through a journey of self-discovery, inviting them to shed fear and reclaim their wings. “Taking Flight” isn’t just about escape—it’s about transformation, and the courage it takes to rise.

Is It Because Im A Woman? ALICE OFFLEY

Written by Albert Man
Produced by Peter Dowsett.
Mastered by Andy Hippy Baldwin at Metropolis.

It’s in my fingertips it’s in my toes
The feeling grows, it grows and grows 
It’s in the aching deep inside of my bones
Never felt this way before

And now i know what it feels like
Now I know what it feels like inside
It’s like what happens in movies
It never happens in real life

It can’t be bought with diamonds or gold
It’s not for sale, it can’t be sold
It lives forever like a story told
Never felt this way before

Now i know what it feels like
Now I know what it feels like inside
It’s like what happens in movies
It never happens in real life

And when the credits roll
I’ll keep on breathing cos I can’t let go
When the credits roll
I’ll keep on breathing cos I can’t let go

You gotta feel it.
You gotta feel it.
You gotta feel it.
I got the feeling.

The Feeling

In this installment of Sound Advice, we are proud to present our first live episode, featuring dance music giant Laidback Luke. The Dutch DJ, producer and founder of Mixmash Records joins us from SoundCloud NYC to reflect on his decades-long career, from headlining the world’s biggest stages to developing his mammoth sound.

Recorded live in front of a studio audience, we talk to Luke about the evolution of his career, how he first got started and the stories behind some of his biggest tracks. We also explore his approach to DJing today, his return to the bloghouse sound and his recent call for remixes of his track, “1000 BPM.” Plus, hear Laidback Luke pass on wisdom learned from his kung fu teacher, his advice for staying prepared in the music industry and much more.

"Welsh electronic producer Sonophoria is quietly building a reputation as one of the UK’s most intriguing underground names" (BBC Radio 6 DJ Tom Robinson’s 'Fresh On The Net', Fresh Faves #574 by John Michie, 23 Jun 2025)

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Sonophoria is a Welsh Electronic Music Producer who in their short career has already been featured on SoundCloud’s Flagship Global Top 50 Electronic Music playlist “Buzzing Electronic” in April 2024. 

Also, since starting submitting to BBC Radio 6 DJ Tom Robinson's ‘Fresh on the Net’ in January 2024, they have been featured 15 times in Eclectic Picks, selected for the Listening Post 5 times and a featured Fresh Fave in September 2024 and June 2025. 

Think a blend of Avicii, Chemical Brothers & Prodigy (ie melodic electronic music fused with eclectic/alternative elements). Also House, Progressive, Trance & EDM Producer.
