First episode of my Rinse FM residency is up for playback 💙 This one’s a live audio podcast where I take you through the recent explosion of hard house garage on.soundcloud.com/fBG8moxPk1n6HV…
i love this by @nayfun_evans on the rise of Liverpool's rap scene. There was a time where rapping in a scouse accent was mocked, but that's not the case anymore, with a lot of hard as nails music coming from the region: dazeddigital.com/music/article/…
I believe DJ Haram (@premiumharam) has one of the best albums of 2025. For @Mixmag I spoke to this outspoken artist on everything from producing billy woods to elitism within electronic music. Haram also did a new mix to go along with it! Read / listen: mixmag.net/feature/the-mi…
7.8 is the new 9.0 it seems
On Jim Legxacy's XL debut, the British rapper-singer attempts to make the leap from bedroom tinkerer to pop auteur. Even as he navigates grief, Legxacy’s skill as a writer of concise, diaristic pop shines through pitchfork.visitlink.me/EQsD3o
After sitting with BBM for a week, what's most striking, beyond the ambition, the rawness, the jocular jerk bounce - is the humour. The BBM announcer is so funny, but also hits upon the wider theme of the project in a way that’s clear and natural. Jim Legxacy you utter genius
Charmed by the new Beatrice Melissa album, which nails an unthinkable fusion of French chanson coos, pastoral dream pop and UK club rhythms like garage and dubstep. Reminds me of Avalon Emerson and the Charm's album (maybe that's why I'm charmed) beatricemelissa.bandcamp.com/album/beatrice…
