Summer 2025 Discoveries.

Many people simply want to hear and enjoy some great new music without having to waste time searching for hours. These Musical Discoveries collections aim to fulfil those needs. At least, we hope so! :)

This playlist is a compilation of the favourite musical discoveries of the Wud Records team from everything they heard at SoundCloud during May, June and July 2025.

Tracks have been arranged according to the number of plays at the moment of publishing, starting with the fewest. Tracks that are early in playlists tend to receive more plays than later tracks, and we feel that the ones with fewer plays need the best chance of exposure.

Why not promote your track on social media and watch it overtake the play counts on later tracks? Now there's a challenge!

These compilations used to be monthly, but with the algorithms becoming ever more squeezed, fewer people are finding and listening to them now. If listenership should increase, we may revert to monthly playlists again. More here: https://www.wudrecords.co.uk/news/wud-records-future-of-musical-discoveries/

This playlist is extremely eclectic, so if the track you are playing isn't quite doing it for you, try the next one. It will probably be completely different.

If you enjoyed listening to something here, please give it a like and a repost. Follow the artist. Give them a shoutout on social media. Check out some of their other tracks. Buy something from them and your support will help them to keep going. Doing any of this will help raise their profile. At the very least you might make their day. :)

Sharing is very, very important !!

Sharing is a massive help for independent artists. They don’t have big corporations and mainstream media saturating every channel with their product. Every independent share counts.

Giving something a ‘like’ is nice, but sharing exposes the artist to your followers. This means that anybody in your community can see and click on what you shared. They can potentially enjoy it as well. It enables somebody new to discover the artist and become their newest fan. You create the chance for that to happen.

If you happen to be on this playlist, please share, and give us a shoutout on your social media feeds - because if we spot it, it gives us another opportunity to repost you and big you up. Please listen to as many tracks by the other great bands as you can - at the very least the one before yours, yours, and the one after yours, to hear how you stack up - and... enjoy!

Cut through the static—Three Photons is broadcasting pure analog soul from a rain-slicked midnight in Chicago

I have been playing around with.....ii V I progressions and the Bebop A dominant scale. I call this one an Indie Dark Jazz flavor. Hope you will like some part of it and maybe hum along before it ends..... 
Thank you René for feedback on the first draft!

Verse 1
They’re all buying guns
To take a shot at you
But you’re still smiling
Because you died a long time ago
Two bullets through your soul

Refrain 1
It’s live from Chicago
Let the camera roll 
It’s live from Chicago

Verse 2
When the morning breaks
The camera fades away
But you’re still smiling
Because you’re still standing tall
Two bullets through your soul

Refrain2
Let the camera roll 
It’s live from Chicago
How was I to know?
Two bullets through your soul
It's live from Chicago

outro
How was I to know?
It's live from Chicago....

Let the camera roll
It's live from Chicago
How was I to know?
Two bullets through your soul
It's live from Chicago
How was I to know?
Two bullets through your soul
Here in Chicago
How was I to know?
Two bullets through your soul
let the cameras roll
let the cameras roll
it's life in Chicago
it's life in Chicago

Two bullets through your soul
It's live from Chicago

Lyrics

The moonlight on the cabaret
In a summer breeze.
All alone and day to day
Is what I need...
And I....whoa I...
I've never felt so free.

And I'm Feelin' High....Oh I....
I'm waiting for your touch
And I'm thinkin' I....Oh I...
I'm ready for your love
And I'm Feelin' High...High...
I wanna touch the sky
I'm Feelin' High...High...

The sunlight on the pillowcase
The moment in your eyes.
All alone and face to face
Below the sky.
And I...whoa I...
I feel like I could fly.

And I'm Feelin' High....Oh I....
I'm waiting for your touch
And I'm thinkin' I....Oh I...
I'm ready for your love
And I'm Feelin' High...High...
I wanna touch the sky
I'm Feelin' I...I...
I'm in love with you.

And I wannna run and tell you that you're in my soul.
What more can I do?
You've got a hold of me, what I need to know is...
Will you love me too?

And I'm Feelin' High....Oh I....
I'm waiting for your touch
And I'm thinkin' I....Oh I...
I'm ready for your love
And I'm Feelin' High...High...
I wanna touch the sky
I'm Feelin' I...I....
I'm in love with you.

I'm Feelin' I...I...
I wanna touch the sky.

I'm in love with you.

THE BREW (USA): What I want ... mixed and mastered

featuring @4catsncoffee on violin
:
Suddenly you come across an opening in the forest - a fading landscape of forgotten names...
fading green is the third tune off the d'ville EP >soundcloud.com/jh0st/sets/dville

--------------------lyrics

No one said that
we would see
Family to no one
Sunlight through trees
No one asked for
an early grave

Stones of names a fade away…

When the clouds come down
water upside down
Order of each name
Feather on tongue

Thousand heart beats in the trees
now gone on the wings of…

day's fading green

d'ville

More bouncing than Jane Russell on a trampoline......



Same shit different day time to hit the road,
head over to pastures new, on the way I'm gonna dump this heavy load.
Cause the grass is always greener, so they say,
Pack my bags a few goodbyes and I'm on my way.

Lets go, lets go, leave our troubles all behind
cause you have your share and I've got mine.
Lets go, lets go, leave our troubles all behind
cause you have your share and I've got mine.

I'm a man of the world.

Faint heart never won fair maiden and thats my stance,
Nothing here but disapointments, gonna go and take another chance.
I dream, I scream, can't breathe, got to get away,
You've done all your contemplating, so what do you say?

Lets go, lets go, leave our troubles all behind
cause you have your share and I've got mine.
Lets go, lets go, leave our troubles all behind
(This lifes for living, doesn't stop it giving me the bird)
cause you have your share and I've got mine.
I'm a man of the world.

lets go

Im Coming Home

Its been 2 long years with no contact
I sleep with one eye closed
The other one's half open 
To catch em coming if they get too close
The mushroom man said to hold your ground and listen to the hills
You cant talk to the spirits friend if your body's not still
and when the Kestrel flys the final run and nods his last farewell
I'll leave them only the beautiful, oh the stories they will tell
Scatter me in the fields of green and edge of river's flow
I have no fear for whats to come when it's time to go
and I won't worry
No, I wont worry
I wont worry
No I won't worry
I'm coming home.......

I Won't Worry

WE'VE ALL MESSED ABOUT
MAY'BE BEEN THE FOOL
SOMETIMES TAKE A CHANCE
AND BREAK ALL THE RULES

TIMES  CHANGED SO FAST
JUST LIKE LIFE IT SELF
IN A BLINK OF AN EYE
THEN I SAW YOU

REMEMBER THE WAYS OF THOSE DAYS

I DON'T BELIVE IN MUCH
AND WHAT'S ABOVE
UNTILL THAT STAR
FELL UPON YOU
(chorus)
LIVING IN A STREET OF LIFE
LIVING IN THIS WORLD
GROWING IN A STREET OF LIFE

SOMEDAY WE'LL BE GREY
ROCKING IN THE SHADE
LOVING EVERYDAY
I HOPE IT'S WITH YOU

LIFE IS FULL OF LUCK
THEN YOUR NUMBERS UP
DON'T WISH FOR MUCH
IF YOU HAVE LOVE
(chorus)
LIVING IN A STREET OF LIFE
LIVING IN THIS WORLD
GROWING IN A STREET OF LIFE
I'M TAKEN TO THIS WORLD
LIVING IN A STREET OF LIFE
LIVING IN THIS WORLD
GROWING IN A STREET OF LIFE

ALL COMING BACK TO HAUNT ME

Wait a minute
Something’s wrong here
Just a little minute
Let it go
You’re coming over
A little strong, dear
Is there some reason 
That I should know

All coming back to haunt me
All coming back to show
All coming back to haunt me
All coming let it go

You say we met up
7 years or so
You said we had a, 
We had a good time
And now you rock up
At my family door
Telling me this is 
This child is mine

All coming back to haunt me
All coming back to show
All coming back to haunt me
All coming let it go

Spoken

"Wait a minute, wait a minute
Keep your voice down, keep your voice down
Are you....?
Are you saying?
Nah. Nah.
Are you, are you telling me that?
Nah.
Are you trying to say that?
What I think you're trying to say?
Nah, nah, nah
You think....?
You're, you're telling me that......?
I'm his daddy?"

All coming back to haunt me
All coming back to show
All coming back to haunt me
All coming let it go

Witch
words and music by DannyBulla/Trendlaser
You're too sexy
For my own good
How can I put my foot down
Like I know I should
Gotta turn you loose
You silly goose
I can't take the abuse
What's the use
On my perch
Left on the lurch
Got down and
Went to church
Was an empty shell
Near as I could tell
The mighty fell
Got sent to hell
Well well well
Just as well
I know who cast the spell
It was you
You little witch
You know I love you
But there's just one hitch
When you get what you want
When you get what you want
When you get what you want
You want to switch

What would you do without me
Ain't about me
Don't think you doubt me
So don't shout me
I can hear you
Cuz I'm near you
Others may fear you
Not I, no not I
I've seen you cry
I heard you lie
Then act so shy
Then you go and fluff on me
Someday I'll ask you why
But not today
Now you want to play
So you say
Telling me you want to stay
Oh you know, you know
Telling me you want to stay
You know I wouldn't say, no way
I should say, no way
You know I won't say, no way
You're too sexy for my own good
How can I put my foot down
When I know I should
