![SEABLITE VS RIDE [KINDA]](https://thepopcorps.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/seablite.jpeg?w=1024)
Have you heard of Seablite? We hadn’t, but they’ve had a remix from Andy Bell’s Glock project, and obviously, we like Ride so we pricked an ear. Seablite say: “It’s no secret that we are massive Ride fans and have also been following Andy Bell’s GLOK project and his collaborations with artists on remixes for

The sound system culture in the UK is arguably the most important movement in club culture since people started selling recreational drugs at music gatherings. Acid house, hip hop, drum ‘n’ bass, trip hop, grime, the top 40 – everyone owes a debt to the pop-up events that burst out over the country in the

Rob from the mighty Be With Records visited Sonoton at their offices in Munich. While there, recorded a super smart library mix which you can hear below. There’s chunky breaks, cinematic gems, synthy bits and all that good stuff that’ll have you scurrying off to Discogs and spending too much money again. Be With are

If you’ve spent any time in the cool sections of any decent record shop, you’ll know that the Analog Africa crew but out an insanely high quality of LPs and have been doing for ages now. The latest is no exception, with a brilliant comp called Congo Funk! Sound Madness From The Shores Of The

The Jesus and Mary Chain have a new song out called ‘Girl 71’ and, as you’d hope, it’s a bit garage punk, it’s a bit dead-eyed and seething. However, it’s got a riff, which is a bit unusual for them, eh? Also, it’s a duet with Rachel Conte and it’s going to appear on their

Rod Stewart has said that the comeback of The Faces is in a bit of a sticky situation because they’re struggling to make new tunes. Keep in mind that he’s gone on record recently as saying he’s a fan of George Ezra, that might be why – no shade to George Ezra there, but he’s

If you’re into killer fuzz, bug-eyed psychedelic bondage music and a heavy gothic sonic assault on the senses, then you need to get to know Deaf Whip. They have a new single out called ‘Clocking Out’, and they’ve described themselves as “heavy garage four piece with synthesised nods to drone, punk and psychedelia” which slightly

EarthGang are great – they’re about as psychedelic as hip hop gets in the current climate, mixing elastic funk with future trap, and generally, they’re making people who yearn for the times of Missy and OutKast very happy indeed. ‘Mirrorland’ is one of the great modern hip hop LPs and they’ve been releasing stuff since

Arguably the best group to come from the Indie Sleaze period are Brazil’s CSS, who managed to manage their spontaneity with fabulous grooves and playfulness. For the first time in over a decade, they’re going to be doing a European tour called ‘It’s Been A Number Of Years’, which it has! Remember how good ‘Off

SZA is a unique little soul and there’s usually a lot of excitement when she springs music on everyone. With that, there’s new music from her on the back of a bunch of wins at the Grammys. She teased a new song during a Mastercard commercial (get paid, we guess) and now she’s put it

CHRIS MOYLES RANT SHOWS HE DOESN’T LIKE MUSIC, BUT YOU KNEW THAT
Some people want to be DJs because they want to share all the music they love with other people. Some people want to become a celebrity. Then, there’s Chris Moyles and we’re not sure what he wants. Does he remind you of one of those lads who turns up half-way through a gig with 7…

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’…
