WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Cami Layé Okún is one of the finest and funnest DJs around right now. Playing music from Cuba (and elsewhere, but you need a hook, right?) she’s all about that rhythm and sunshine melody! This is not so much a piece where we need to write a great deal – basically, go follow her on…

Hip hop has found itself in a funny place lately. Everyone’s broke. There’s been a pandemic. Energy bills are out of control. Prices are going up. It’s difficult to listen to someone talk about how many millions they’ve got hanging off their wrist. It’s tough to stomach listening to someone complain about how lonely they…

Have you heard of Michael Rault? Well, there’s a good chance he released the finest LP of 2022, if you’re into perfect pop that’s cut with all good things like West Coast 70s music, Paul McCartney’s Wings, ELO (aka Beatles: The Musical), Harry Nilsson etc. If you need more modern recommendations, then file Michael Rault…

What’s the deal here? A music blog, being launched in a time when blogging is absolutely dead, especially trying to cover music? What’s the point in that? Well, call it a labour of love.

YOUNG GOLDIE IN BBC GRAFFITI PIECE
The BBC Archives are at it again, this time with a piece from the ’80s about the UK’s graffiti scene and star of the show, a young Goldie. Of course, Goldie went on to be a pioneer in drum & bass, but he made his name as an artist on the streets. You can see…

MARCUS VERGETTE: SCULPTURE MEETS AVANT GARDE
Not everything you listen to is designed for the club or a sugar coated three minute pop-song – sometimes things can be strange, artistic, dark, and unlike anything you’ve listened to before. In the case of ‘Tintinnabulation’ by Marcus Vergette, we stumbled across one of the most enchanting and peculiar LPs we’ve come across. A…

GABE NANDEZ BACK WITH A BANG
He’s from NYC and you can tell – rapper Gabe ‘Nandez has a new track out that sounds fresh and modern but also has a nod to early Noughties rap. Think Clipse and Neptunes produced bangers and you’re in the right ballpark. If you’re into Chingy too, get on it. In short, it’s a whole…
