Truancy Volume 132: Endian
With end of year lists slowly starting to trickle out, there’s one track in particular we find that’s absent from some of the bigger sites, despite having what could be considered a decent summer. Championed by both Joy Orbison and Scuba in each of their respected Essential mixes, snippets of new untitled Endian teased the notion […]

Chronicles: Goth Money – Goth Money Trillionaires
If there is to be any overt or ulterior goal of bubbling-up rap crew Goth Money’s music, it’s a convoluted one; interviews of the six members frame their project as a form of positivity achieved through organic, artistic union, while the group’s material is most often somewhat a literal incarnation of their name. Either way, […]

Interview: Imre Kiss
Before gaining broader attention for the Raw Energy EP on Lobster Theremin last year, Slovakian-born Hungarian producer and designer Imre Kiss released his debt Midnight Wave on Budapest’s Farbwechsel in 2013.

Premiere: Lechuga Zafiro – C vs S ft. Triangulación Kultural
Lechuga Zafiro is a wildly exciting producer from Montevideo, Uruguay. His name will certainly be familiar to you if you’ve spent any time indulging yourself in the NAAFI collective’s music, or spent any significant time tuned in to the likes of Rinse FM or NTS. It’s no surprise that his music is crossing these geographical […]

Recommended: Levantis – Romantic Psychology 1
There are a number of oxymoronic ironies about this release. Firstly, that a label set up with the intention of releasing singles should give an album unto the world. Second, that a label called Technicolor should release as said first album a record so imbued with a sense of greys and crisp monochrome vistas. Indeed, the album […]

Interview: Sim Hutchins
Sim Hutchins is a relatively new name to us. He first caught our ear when he featured on The Bedroom Club III, a mini-compilation put together by No Pain In Pop a few months ago. This feature preceded an album, I Enjoy To Sweep A Room, which was released last week. It’s a gloriously dark affair, all decomposed beats and […]
