And now for something completely different – the new cut from Seun Kuti (son of Fela Kuti and therefore heir to the afrobeat throne), as remixed by the formidably excellent Spoek Mathambo. Mathambo, if you’re a little late on this, is a South African DJ and producer, and a boundary pusher par excellence. Ever heard any […]

Today we woke up and convinced ourselves that it’d be just like any other day, but then we had to face the truth. How can you really escape Valentine’s Day? Luckily for us we found a sweet gift in our mailbox, a Valentine’s mix dropped off by a secret admirer/friend of Truants to share with […]

Everybody please meet Jonti, Sydney’s hottest in far-out Pop music.

Soundtrack to last summer, it’s about time we brushed the dust off this one and had another listen in order to pull us out of our dead-of-winter blues.

It’s safe to say that Pictures Music was one of the best labels of 2011, with an appallingly well-curated roster of artists like Dauwd, Lapalux, Koreless, Seams, Chairman Kato, Dark Sky and Rudi Zygadlo. It remains a small label with a trademark polish and a certain je-ne-sais-quoi feeling under every track. It’s that complexity that […]

When South London Ordnance recently bemoaned his lack of public relations skills on Twitter, we thought it would be the perfect opportunity to introduce him to you.
