WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
DJ Magazine have been sharing some ace videos about dance hits with the people who made them. They’re all gold, honestly. This one stars Roni Size talking about the magical ‘Brown Paper Bag’ and what led him to the ‘New Forms’ LP and more. Super interesting, so press play.

George Harrison’s estate have been busy and put out an acoustic version of ‘Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth) (Take 18)’ and now, we get an unreleased version of ‘Be Here Now’ for the anniversary of ‘Living in the Material World’. The LP was basically the album that paid for his Concert for

Look, it’s not every day you get to write that as a headline, but when you see it as a song title like we did, you’re compelled to find out more. What we were faced with was Elita’s chaotic song that combines cutesy dream pop with shrieking industrialism. Elita is apparently an ‘Instagram model’, but

Remember when Alessia Cara burst onto the pop scene with the moody and cool ‘Here’? She was just an itty bitty thing then, but she’s growing musically and it’s a good thing. The new song is called ‘(Isn’t It) Obvious’ and it’s nice to see some brackets in a song title, but more importantly, it’s

We were watching an old clip of Motorhead playing on Top of the Pops, and that’s a fun thing all by itself… but someone else sprang out at us While the assembled crowd seemed mildly bewildered at the sight of adrenaline filled rock n roll in the studio, to the right of the stage in

We wrote a glowing review of Rebecca Black’s last album. In one of the finest comebacks in pop, she went from being a reviled meme while a young girl performing the rather wonky ‘Friday’ (which honestly, sounds quite charming in the current climate) to making some of the fiercest, funnest pop on the planet. While

Here’s our latest radio show, with music from Mexico, Mauritius, Poland, Algeria, Brazil, Germany, Cameroon, new bands, older ones… it’s great

‘Try Me’ by Dej Loaf was one of the best underground hip hop smashes when it was released back in 2014, and other hits followed. However, Dej kinda vanished for a while, quietly slipping away and presumably recalibrating. It seemed that, for all intents and purposes, she was done with The Industry. Well, lately, she’s

The folk tradition is something that is always alive and well, and concerning The Unthanks, ever more so. Good news then, that they have a new double album coming out called ‘The Unthanks in Winter’. Appropriately you’ll be able to get hold of it and hear it on November 29th and there’s a song you

Amyl and the Sniffers have a new video out and there’s a lot of nudity in it. It’s the kind of video that, if you’re getting your knickers in a twist about it, then you’re the kind of uptight tool that could probably do with a bit of skinny dipping to sort yourself out. First,

JANELLE MONAE IS BACK WITH A NEW ONE
Janelle Monae is back with some new music after ‘Dirty Computer’ took over the world. Since then, they’ve been branching out a bit, but we write about music and it’s new tunes we’re most interested in. So, the new track is called ‘Float’ and as the title suggests, it’s a pretty dreamy number – so…

MEN I TRUST ARE BACK WITH A BOP
Men I Trust have a bunch of cool songs, so it’s good that they’ve got a new one out. They hail from Canada and release their own stuff and are generally very cool like that. It’s heady, bedroom indie pop, and this new one may be their strongest song to date. It’s called ‘Ring Of Past’…

MIX: ITALO WITH DJ SUBARU
The YouTube ‘My Analog Journal’ is a goldmine for great music tip-offs, with a host of guest DJs simply putting ace records on in a number of lovely looking rooms on some nice kit. It’s a simple premise and all the better for it. There’s no Kids TV presenter gubbins that litters so much of…
