WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Jorja Smith’s R&B output was great, but we get a special kick when she’s dancefloor ready, especially like that killer Preditah remix that appeared a while back. She has a new single out called ‘High’ which is a tribal-ish house affair and is a sophisticated little groover that is ticking all the boxes for us.…

Whether you like it or not, Charli XCX has a choke hold on summer 2024. Her ‘brat’ branding has gone viral and you might have missed the initial spurt of it all, and would very much like someone to explain it because you’re interested in pop culture or have FOMO. Well, you can thank VIDEOGIRL…

Fans of Scottish folk and the Green Man Festival won’t need introducing to Pictish Trail, so good news for you is that he’s back with a new EP. It’s called ‘Follow Footsteps’ and you can hear the whole thing on Sept 13th. This new selection has been assembled alongside Susan Bear of Tuff Love. He…

The album is called ‘Uncollected Noise New York ’88-’90’ and will be available in September on vinyl, CD, tape and digital of course. “I can see why we left…

Disco and Hi NRG legend, Evelyn Thomas, has sadly passed away at the fine age of 70. Chicago born, she had a huge hit with the utterly magical dancefloor powerhouse, ‘High Energy’ – one of the hallmark tracks that ushered in a new era for disco music and clubland. DJ and producer Ian Levine said:…

Floating Points is from Manchester, so we couldn’t help but notice that their new song shares the name with an old radio station from the city. People of a certain again will remember Piccadilly Key 103, so the fact that this is called ‘Key103’ will fill them with a fizzy nostalgia. Very nice. Of course,…

Channel Tres makes good house music and we’d like to see a DJ soon, please. He’s further proof that Summer 2024 is being completely owned by the West Coast, hailing from Compton. There’s a debut LP out called ‘Head Rush’ and it has a stellar line-up of guesties on it. It’s the usual blend of…

God. Someone else wondering what Balearic means. Look, what we’re saying here is that there’s a chug to this that might sound nice when there’s been some kind of exploring of chemicals. But it’s folk music. The two can go together, and you know it. We’re looking at the new track from Norwood who isn’t…

If you’re a fan of Jon Hopkins and his ambient things, you’re in luck! He’s just shared a preview of the new LP ‘RITUAL’, which we think is meant to be in CAPS, but it shouldn’t be, because it’d be more ambient to have it lower case. Anyway, as this is ambient, we have to…

When Cornershop burned a photo of Morrissey in 1992, everyone should’ve been aware that a legendary band were in ascendence. Every time Tjinder Singh & Co do something, it is our civic duty to yell about it! And so, they’ve made a super fun video and a really cool re-do of their 2018 track ‘Double…

NEW DE LA SOUL DOCUMENTARY
De La Soul have had their fair share of troubles when it comes to the songs they’ve sampled, who owns their back catalogue and all that murky stuff. It seems that there’s some wiggle room at long last, and now they’re able to enjoy their body of work that they’ve created. With that, there’s a…

NEW CARIBOU 4 U
We’re generally not that fussed about Caribou, but you might like them and Dan Snaith seems like a nice fella, so here’s the news of a new single for you to listen to. It’s a sprightly affair and goes by the name of ‘Broke My Heart’. We’ve just looked into it and it seems there…

YUNE PINKU REMIXES RACHEL CHINOURIRI
Yune Pinku makes some of the best house adjacent bops around right now, and she’s done a remixes for the super hot talent Rachel Chinouriri, which is a bit of a dream match-up honestly. Pinku features on a lot of our end-of-year lists and Chinouriri is someone we’re keeping an eye on, so if that’s…

ILLUMINATI HOTTIES NEW ALBUM
We’re still really into the fact that there’s a musical outfit called Illuminati Hotties. What a fantastic thing to have people saying in record stores and the like. The fact it is one person is even better. Anyway, she’s announced her new LP called ‘Power’ which will be out in August and there’s a new…
