Release date: Mar 7, 2025

In the tender embrace of melodies that linger like whispered secrets and rhythms that tiptoe through the chambers of the soul, emerges the serene sonic sanctuary of Boy of Sleep. Here, within this dreamy oasis, resides Michael Lane, a multifaceted artist weaving delicate threads of indie folk and ambient hues into a tapestry of serene soundscapes.

Hailing from the heartland of music, Michael Lane, known for his poignant indie folk compositions, dons the ethereal veil of Boy of Sleep to craft an ambient symphony that transcends time and space. With a gentle touch akin to a painter with a brush, he conjures sonic landscapes that invite listeners on a wistful journey through memories and daydreams.

Beyond the tranquil realms of Boy of Sleep, Lane dons another artistic cloak known as "The Fold," where his creative spirit flourishes in the vibrant domain of pop music. Here, he embraces a different palette, infusing infectious rhythms and catchy melodies, showcasing yet another facet of his musical prowess.

Yet, it's within the tender whispers of Boy of Sleep's ambient melodies where Lane's artistry truly unveils itself.

Franck Martin - Abyss

Quietly drifting through a nebula towards a giant black hole, 'Abyss' by Franck Martin is now playing on M.P.R Ambient.

 

 

Release date: Sep 26, 2025

Franck Martin, born in France, draws his inspiration from the works of Jean-Michel Jarre, Vangelis, Tangerine Dream and also from various artists like Iannis Xenakis and Hughes Le Bars. His first album, released in 2016, is a timid exploration of the tools for Electronic Music Production. Some tracks are influenced by the years he spent in Fiji and in the Pacific Islands and were often composed during his travels. His more recent albums are sonic experiments using an ever evolving modular synthesizer, often recorded in live conditions. Franck Martin continues his exploration in the creation and production of electronic music, whilst meeting other fellow artists from San Francisco and the world.

DAHLIA - Leather & Lace

Artist 'Dahlia', with the track 'Leather & Lace' is now playing on M.P.R Chill.

 

 

Release date: Dec 12, 2025

The track 'Leather & Lace' is taken from the album 'First Act', a dark, cinematic alt-pop concept album that plays like the first season of a series. Across nine songs, Dahlia tells the story of a forbidden office affair with her boss, an engagement she no longer believes in, the sacrifices of motherhood and the slow erosion of her own identity.

Chapter by chapter, we follow her from the high heels and glass towers of “All Set” into the blurred nights of “Crossed The Line” and “Perfect Mess”, where desire and guilt collide.

“Reflection” and “Leather & Lace” dive deeper behind closed doors, as passion becomes a secret world she can’t live without – and can’t control. When the consequences hit, the story shifts to the suburbs: a white house, a pool, two children, a husband who “makes more money”, and a woman who keeps disappearing inside her role.

“Suburban Mommy” and “Useless” confront postpartum depression, rage and the feeling of being completely erased. In “Last Dance”, Dahlia and her family move to a red-brick house on the hill, giving their love one last chance in a new city – a quiet, melancholic cliffhanger that closes the first act of her story.

Told through the anonymous alter ego Dahlia and brought to life with music and vocals created using Suno AI, “First Act” is a confession dressed as a soundtrack: intimate, sensual, sometimes ruthless, always honest. This is only the beginning. Second Act is already waiting in the wings.

Leather & Lace

“Leather & Lace” dives into the secret world behind closed doors, where the relationship turns into a physical addiction. It’s the chapter of black lace dresses, hotel rooms, private rituals and the sense of losing control while wanting even more. Dahlia is fully aware that what they share is not healthy, but she’s hooked on the disgrace of his “addictive embrace”. The track is dark, sensual and a little dangerous – the most intimate scene of the season.

Catteh - Amarata Turturea

Playing on M.P.R Chill is the artist Catteh, with a recent release titled 'Amarata Turturea'.

 

 

Release date: Dec 11, 2025

The track 'Amarata Turturea' is taken from the EP 'Over Past'. The EP is released on label 'Cafe de Anatolia', and explores the hypnotic intersection between organic ritualism and contemporary electronic music. Built around slow-burning grooves, textured percussion, and emotionally charged motifs, the EP invites the listener into a meditative yet grounded sonic space.

Rooted in repetition and subtle transformation, 'Over Past' reflects a journey through memory, movement, and inner landscapes, where rhythm becomes a narrative tool rather than a functional structure.

Catteh

Catteh is an electronic music project focused on hypnotic structures, organic rhythms, and deep atmospheric storytelling. The project explores music as a ritual experience, where subtle evolution and repetition guide the listener into immersive states.

Catteh’s sound is driven by atmosphere and intention rather than genre conventions. Drawing inspiration from ancestral rhythms, minimal electronic frameworks, and deep, immersive arrangements, the project focuses on tension, release, and trance-like progression.

Vickram Bhamra - Ocean Breeze

The track 'Ocean Breeze', is taken from Vickram Bhamra's album titled ‘Melodic Vibes’, and now playing on M.P.R Chill.

 

 

Release date: Oct 3, 2025

In Vickram Bhamra's own words:

"As a music producer from Leeds, UK, I’ve always had a deep passion for music".

"I enjoy listening to a wide range of genres - from hip hop and dance to house, soul, and electronic. Over time, though, I found myself drawn more towards chilled, lounge, and Lo-Fi sounds".

"In late 2022, I began working on my debut album titled Experimental Sounds, which was released in 2023. The project combined elements of lounge and electronic music, setting the foundation for my creative style".

"Soon after its release, I started developing ideas for a follow-up. I wanted to lean more into the chill and lounge side of my sound, while building on what I had created in Experimental Sounds. That vision led to my next album, titled Dreamland, which was designed to take listeners on a journey through different musical moods and themes".

"The album opened with Mood Music, a smooth introduction featuring a slow beat, soft melody, and calming saxophone. Mission Discovery invites listeners on a trip beyond the stars, while Jazz Café blends gentle piano and trumpet tones over a relaxed drum groove".

"After releasing Dreamland, I took time to reflect and began shaping ideas for my next project - which would become Melodic Vibes".

"As the title suggests, this album focuses on smooth, slow melodies that gradually build toward more upbeat, energetic sounds as the record progresses".

"I truly appreciate everyone’s support and hope you enjoy listening to Melodic Vibes".

The album is available now on all major streaming platforms, as well as Amazon Music, Bandcamp, and other digital retailers.
