Pangaea. The primordial land mass. Also the interview-shy 2-step maestro. One of them has released ‘Something In Your Eye’, the first track on an upcoming EP (the other hasn’t released much in the last couple of years beyond the odd pyroclastic flow). Imagine four children who stumble across a box of percussive instruments
I first came across Italian-born, London-based producer Antwerp through one of those happy accidents the Internet occasionally throws up. Bored and casually browsing for new music, a random assortment of clicks and Google links later I’d struck gold. As well as his music, what caught my attention was an event
Lone’s Reality Testing deservedly dominated every music publication’s end-of- the-year list for best albums of 2014, establishing Nottingham native Matt Cutler as one of the most interesting producers around. The album’s hip hop influences combined with lush and inviting grooves emanated warmth and an overall matured sound which got everyone
Remember when James Murphy disbanded LCD Soundsystem, even though that group was essentially just him anyway so he was effectively merely disbanding himself, and then he became a wine merchant or upmarket barista or whatever it was before quickly “reforming” LCD Soundsystem (i.e. basically reforming himself) so that he’d then

By the time May comes around, most people have already got their festival calenders mapped out. Those with a shred of organisation and that aren’t swimming in student debt will go to Glastonbury. Folk that are in it for the atmospherics as opposed to the music and the cast of
Glaswegian demigod Hudson Mohawke has been DJ’ing for over half his life. In this time he’s been the youngest DMC World DJ Finalist, signed to Warp Records and developed a personal and working relationship with Kanye West. Not bad for a 20 something scottish lad. Hudson Mohawke (real name Richard Birchard)’s, success has snowballed since his
Sifting through the psychedelic instrumentation of Unknown Mortal Orchestra allows listeners to engage in a more active listening of the band’s latest album, ‘Multi-Love’. The lyrics provide a lens through which one may engage with the poetic agency showcased by Ruban Nielson. The album’s commentary on contemporary aspects of the
For almost a century now, Audion (AKA Matthew Dear) has been working on both the pop world and the underground. Amongst his first works you’ll see ‘Hands Up for Detroit’ and you’re not wrong, that is the original that Fedde Le Grand reworked in the annoyingly unforgettable 2006 track. Remixing
