Yo! I’m Sammy Newk. I am a multimedia artist currently based in Boston but, Charleston is still a place I consider to be home. I have played over 100 local gigs on the Peninsula between Warehouse, P. Buffalo, Uptown, Share House & Trio over the last two years. I produce/play mainly house/techno but, trap & wubz will always have a special place in my heart too.
My most recent single “So Deep” just dropped Friday on Mija’s Never B Alone indie label. It’s a super chill deep/tropical house track that I hope is a pleasant segue into another stellar summer! I was...

I was blessed to share the moment of the release from legendary vocalist GG Magree’s green room before she ripped up a punk venue in Brooklyn following our label relaunch party last Wednesday. If you’re still here & don’t know me yet, thanks for taking the time to learn a little about me. If you’re still here and you do know me, I’m pretty stoked too hahaha! Thank’s for reading! -Newk

We can go around the algorithms by organizing off-platform. Behold the power of community.
What is a relevant post?
A relevant post is one that is related to the content that you post about. The closer the post aligns with your creative output, the more effective your engagement will be. This means that if you have a food account and a bunch of musicians comment on it, this will do more harm than good (unless those musicians are also foodies).
Be mindful of this, and remember, this is a music community, so music posts are all fair game.
How do I post here?
Take the share URL from Instagram and simply paste it into your post.
Should I do this for every post?
No! Your friends will get sick of it! Only do it when you have something really important like a concert poster, a new single, or an important announcement.
Cheers and happy engaging!

Yo, I go by JxShamar! I’m a newer act but I recently dropped a project and think it would be dope if you guys checked me out! There’s a bunch of different flows by myself but the beats were fully masterminded by Kj Wol. We are both based out of Charleston, SC and are a part of a collective of rappers, singers, and creatives known as 4AM. Below, I linked my newest project, but check my distro for my previous drops and more of the guys’ work as well!

Fronted by the amazingly energetic Amy Taylor, Amyl and the Sniffers are a punk rock band hailing out of Australia. Their live performance is flat out electrifying, and what I consider old school punk rebirthed in the modern age. This is a more subdued studio performance… posting this one as to make audio quality the priority, but for sure their festival performances are well worth checking out as well. There’s a plethora of stuff to be found on youtube, spotify, and anywhere you consume...

Also of extra special interest are performances/recordings by other groups featuring Amy on vocals. The Sleaford Mods song “Nudge it” (A personal favorite of mine) and the Viagra Boy’s John Prine cover of ‘In spite of ourselves’. All highly recommended for your listenting pleasure!
Don’t mean to overwhelm with links… hopefully these just make it easier for you to experience these great songs!
If sound could be a “spectacle” these videos represent that entirely!
If you give these a listen, I’d love to hear what you think!
Greatest music industry news in a while. Live Nation and Ticketmaster have been one company since 2010 and since then they have used increasingly aggressive tactics, such as ticket fees and overall hurting the music industry with their tactics.
The news first came out last Sumer when the DOJ announced they were building a case.

The news first came out last Sumer when the DOJ announced they were building a case.
Now, it’s been revealed that they are expected to move forward with the law suit within the next month. The lawsuit could break up the monopoly. This is the best music industry news in a long time, and could be one positive step towards the changes that we all know are needed.
WSJ had the exclusive but it’s behind a paywall. Here’s a piece in LiveForLiveMusic about it.
The lamp going on and off in the background definitely lends it an air of ‘crazy’.
I really like this artist. He’s getting a lot of attention after this, I think, ground breaking song and video, and hopefully making a lot of money. He’s got a lot of live music out there too, that proves his talent isn’t a one-off thing.
Another song, a short instrumental with similar structure but different sound…
(I was worried he would fall off the damned cliff).
We need a headliner still. Brave Baby and Zack Mexico are both out
Brainstorming ideas, plan to make a move within the next 7 days.
Drop suggestions if you have them … Brett Nash project comes to mind… maybe a supergroup of some kind… or maybe an artist I haven’t thought about yet… Babe Club maybe…
What up Billy slut army!!! I love each and everyone of you, and don’t you forget this. I want to share with you the books I have read so far in 2024.
Killers of the flower moon- great book, obviously, they made it a movie, the white man really screws Native Americans every way possible
Going Infinite- Sam Bankman-Fried, and how he was a complete dumbass nerd and stole like a little bitch
Elon musk- very fine by Walter Isaacson about Elon musk. This updated book is thorough and gives you a great insight on how he started SpaceX, Tesla, PayPal, the boring company, and a shit ton of other stuff. Definitely a cringe weirdo but fuck he’s done some cool shit.
And there was light...

And there was light- good old book by Jon Meacham about Abraham Lincoln. The main focus was his push for emancipation. Doesn’t go crazy in the depth about any particular thing, but it makes it a great overview slavery in America, the boiling point, the Civil War in the presidency of Abraham Lincoln. For real for real, he is the goat.
Killing the Mob- this is your classic bullshit Bill O’Reilly book. All these series are written by Martin Dugard and he just signed his name on em. it’s entertaining, just a spaghetti fest of gangster porn
The woman in me- this is Britney Spears auto biography. definitely entertaining, but a pretty poorly written book. She just constantly complains and blames other people for being a nut job. Some of it true.
Friends, lovers, and the terrible big thing- this surprisingly was a great book. I’m not a i’m not a Matthew Perry, or a friends fan, but I do enjoy books about addiction and struggle. This dude was addict 101. Unlike Brittany, he blamed all his misfortunes on himself.
In the weeds- juicy little read about the producer for Anthony Bourdain television shows no reservation and parts unknown. Greatest job on earth.
Gambler- a real story about the greatest gambler of all time Billy Walters. Awesome listen for any sports, gambler, Golf fan. Also, another good listen about addiction and trial and tribulation.
As I mentioned to my last post, I am currently in the middle of among the bros, a book about Charleston fraternities, and my favorite palindrome Xanax,
Another one that’s been making the rounds. Ren is a ‘different’ kind of artist. One of a kind performance. This one really blows people away on the first listen…
I feel like most folks will have seen this by now, but on the off chance you’ve not, please… take the time. You won’t regret it. No matter your preferred genre, you’ll have to agree that Danny Carey is amazing…
