Well, here’s a new pair of songs from the group called ‘I’m Scanning Things I Can’t See’/’Dark Dancing’ and it’s super good and we…

We’ve not written about That Lizzo Story, because honestly, it all feels a bit like we’d be turning ourselves into a celebrity gossip site if we did. However, it’s a slow news day today. If you’ve missed it, effectively, go and look it up. Trigger warning though – it’s a pretty grim tale and involves…

If you’re not aware of the Príncipe label, you’re in for a treat! There’s a brilliant compilation called DJs Di Guetto and it’s filled with energetic, hot kuduro tracks from the aforementioned.

Record collectors and music nerds have been excitedly sharing Robert Lester Folsom’s ‘April Suzanne’ with each other thanks to a reappraisal of a song that defines Loner Folk as a genre. He recorded his album ‘Music and Dreams’ in 1976, and in 2010, Mexican Summer reissued it and his stature grew further. Since then, there’s…
