WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
The price of things are going up, but wages aren’t. It’s a thing that always happens when anyone in any position of power naively believes in trickle down economics. The fact is – and we all know this – rich folk like hoarding their money or spending it on themselves. Add a host of other

You are 100% supposed to have heard about every single band at all times and every new release and if you don’t I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU HAVEN’T HEARD OF THEM! Of course, that’s nonsense. We just heard about a band from Maastricht called YIN YIN. They’re great. Psychedelic, danceable, very fun indeed. Bet they’re cool

The headline is the message. Have a good one. Drink too much and be lazy. Got any Rennies? Love you x
-
DJing is hard. For most DJs, there’s no security and a host of very drunk people telling you that they would like you to play something else. You do 5 or 6 hour sets and your knees and back hurt. There’s no groupies, because everyone’s getting off with everyone else while you’re stood in a

It’s a terrible state of affairs trying to keep your pages fresh with new content, so sometimes, what you have to do is write about literally nothing. That’s exactly what we’re doing here. Don’t complain about feeling short-changed, because we were upfront about this fact. We were upfront about it in the opening paragraph and,

Mac DeMarco is kinda back. He’s been away you see, after the success of his last LP ‘Here Comes The Cowboy’. That’s what it was called wasn’t it? Pretty sure it was. Anyway, he just wanted to get in the festive mood and remind us that he existed, so he’s knocked out a video for

Have you heard about ‘Nepo Babies’? It’s not really the best of names for the people who have had a leg-up in their careers thanks to having a famous parent or two (nepotism babies, geddit?), but honestly, you’re not getting any better alternatives here unless something pops into our head while we’re writing this article

There’s few things as satisfying as Pusha T saying ‘YERGHK!’ in a track. He’s a venomous MC alright and sharp as a tack. He’s also quite the businessman, coming up with the ‘I’m Lovin’ It’ for McDonald’s and also, heading up the G.O.O.D. Music label. Of course, that’d be Kanye West’s record label there. Now,
STOP HOARDING TUNES

CYBOTRON BACK WITH MORE FUTURE TECHNO
Cybotron is a pioneer of techno and if you’re at all interested in Detroit club music, you’ll know ‘Clear’ as being one of the most pivotal releases in electronic music’s long and varied history. If you don’t know the track from ’83, then boy, you’re in for a real treat! Well, in thrilling news for…

APHEX TWIN LIVE 2023 / WATCH
Aphex Twin performed at Field Day last weekend and now you can watch the whole set for yourself, filled with ear-bleeding beats, acid basslines, and of course, loads of daft graphics. It’s great fun. We were initially going to just write a garbled string of letters as a little joke, like some of Aphex’s song…

SCOOTER BRAUN / WE’RE NOT ONES TO GOSSIP BUT
There’s a breed of powerful, wealthy man that exists now which tries to offset their billions in wealth with scruffy caps, weird hair sculpting and crying laugh emojis on social media. It’s an unnerving, irritating sight as these blokes pass themselves off visibly as more akin to podcast hosts rather than wildly powerful individuals. The…

FREE RANGE / AUGUST TRACKLIST
Here’s the tracklist for the latest FREE RANGE radio show, which is effectively the listenable version of this website albeit with a different name and takes up way more of your time. At least you don’t have to use your eyes and it can join you on the commute to work. Here’s the show to…
