WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

‘It’s Over’ by Tatyana was one of our favourite songs of 2024, so it is great to report that she’s hit 2025 running at full speed with a new acid banger called ‘What Have You Done For Me Lately?’ With shades of Inner City, this is primo strobe house for the warehouse or the club,

No new releases. No news. We’ll have to be patient because we can’t be making stuff up.

There’s people who will go to war for Glastonbury, telling you that there’s just nowhere like it. In terms of size, that’s arguably true. However, scope aside, once you’ve been to a bunch of festivals, it’s hard to see what makes it so special, aside from the countless people telling you how special it all

Mr Balearic himself, DJ Alfredo, has sadly left us after being one of the most influential people in dance music’s history. He was 71 and leaves a huge ray of sunshine behind him, which the rest of the DJing world has been basking in ever since. Born in Argentina, Alfredo ended up in Ibiza and

We’re going to take some time off for Christmas and New Year. We might sporadically post, we might not. It’s all good right? Hope you enjoy the end of year lists and round-ups. Go buy some records from a local indie or website and treat yourself. See you properly in 2025.

You’ll know Julien Baker from BOYGENIUS and their own career, but now it’s time to give that good ol’ country music a go – rather, road movie, alt country fun stuff, teaming up with Torres. It reminds us a bit of that classic period Wilco stuff, which is no bad thing. Moreso, reminds us of

Arbitrary lists are no good, really. However, it is nice to praise musicians and the work they’ve done. They may never see the praise on a site as small as this one, but if we send good vibes out into the ether and at least some of you give them a listen, and maybe buy

We could write a load of stuff about this, but there’s very little point when the contents of the video are so fun and wholesome that it speaks for itself. THUNDERCAT! YO GABBA GABBA! NPR TINY DESK! Press play immediately!

Before we round up the stuff from 2024 that we thought was great, we’re going to have a little fun predicting what might happen next year in the world of music. Outside of music, you have to wonder if those stupid Marvel films are going to trudge on. They probably will. Of course, it’ll be

Look, we’ve been feeling poorly which meant no posts for a few days. However, we just saw this Fly On The Wall vid where producer The Alchemist is snooping around for loops with a tonne of records and it’s real nerdy and fun to watch. It’s with DAMNDUST and they’re in Bahrain, and you’ll like

MIKE DIMES HITS HARD
His name has been hot shit for a minute and his stock is rising quickly – Texas son Mike Dimes is not letting up and new track ‘Heavy Metal’ goes hard! This will sound good in the club or the car – we’re into it. In ’22, Dimes’ ‘In Dimes We Trust’ LP was very…

ACE DOC ON ALGERIAN Raï MUSIC AVAILABLE FOR FREE ON YOUTUBE
You don’t have to speak the language to love a style of music. Maybe you are fluent in French, but no matter, because the fact is that Algeria’s Raï music is some of the most joyous and brilliant stuff ever recorded. It is a form of Algerian folk that kicked off in the ’20s and…

SBTRKT ALBUM SOON
Remember how good ‘Pharaohs’ was by SBTRKT? Well, good news, they’re back soon and will have a new LP out called ‘The Rat Road’ on May 5th. In a note: “This album has been my most sonically ambitious record to create – following my own musical path – which isn’t based on others’ perceptions of…
