Read moreMelodically serene, structurally simple and yet powerfully evocative, the music of Lukid sits on its own plane of electronic exploration. While it’s been three years since his last EP, Crawlers, and a surprising five years since his last album, Lonely At The Top, Lukid’s latest EP, Twisted Blood, finds the artist at the height of his atmospheric, experimental vision of techno. […]
Read moreBirmingham has been a melting pot for progressive music since it rebuilt itself post-war. Playing host to many mutating, free-flowing bands, the city found itself at the forefront of scenes such as post-punk, bhangra and Brumbeat.

Read more“Our legacy is trash.” When we look at the world and what we leave behind, this aphorism is scarily insightful.

Read moreBrian Piñeyro is a man of many names. In just a few years he’s released as Deejay Xanax, DJ Wey, Luis and DJ Python.

Another recurrent characteristic is a dependence on repetition, with […]
Read moreOver the past two years, the coastal city of Durban in South Africa has spearheaded the sound of the rapidly growing gqom scene.
