Profiiit - Melly Matrix
'Melly Matrix' is a dangerously catchy and smooth hip-hop banger from Profiiit's newest album, 'Alexander' (released 28/02/22, Dead Poet Society)Profiiit is a groundbreaking and restless force in the East Coast US underground rap scene. His style cannot be simply defined in terms of genres due to his insatiable need to constantly move and push his sound to new levels, however influences include J. Cole, Kanye West, Pusha T, Kendrick Lamar and the late XXXTENTACION. Something Profiiit has in common with all of these inspirations is a long endeavour for greatness.

Fabio Rodrigues - Rocket Man (Elton John)
Fabio is a very well followed 'Busker' of YouTube fame. This cover of Elton John's 'Rocket Man' is soooo good!

Woodwind Quintet No.1 (My Original Work, Whole Piece Version)
This piece was written as a contemporary music (the 1st and 3rd movement may be too old-school). Interestingly my composing sequence is ‘1st movement, then 3rd and 2nd’.So you may hear something completely new in the 2nd movement. Also the relationship between 1st and 3rd movement becomes closer.
