Busta Rhymes took issue with the number of people at his recent Essence Festival performance who were on their phones, so he did something about it.

Swedish trio Beckahesten creates ominous ambient soundscapes that restlessly shift and roil. Sva​̈​ltens Tid (The Time of Famine) also features sung / chanted vocals and slow-paced martial percussion. Thus, the album lands somewhere between neoclassical dark wave, Northern European folk, and experimental ambient. While the lyrics are in Swedish and I have not yet seen […]

New York City power pop champs Joy Buzzer are debuting the new single “You’d Be Surprised”.
Guitarist Jed Becker says, “The narrator of this little tale hasn’t hit bottom yet…but he’s certainly close to it. If I was the woman he’s trying to lure into sharing the ‘helluva ride’ he’s on, I’d run the other way. This one features a great Everly Bros.-type double lead vocal from singer Kevin Lydon, and more of the take-no-prisoners power pop our fans have come to expect from us. Enjoy!”

This song was produced by Askold Buk and Becker– and was written by Jed Becker.

The basic tracks were cut at Salant Sound in Canarsie, Brooklyn, NYC. With a winning combination of catchy hooks and jet fuel, JOY BUZZER has quickly moved up the ranks as one of New York’s premier power pop acts. // Continue to the full article

“It’s like, look — play your f—ing tunes and get off,” the former Oasis songwriter said.

Inspired by his icons of evocative introspection, Jeff Buckley, Fabrizio De Andrè and Thom York, singer-songwriter, Mario Ciardiello, traced the reflectively candid echoes of his idols through the debut single, Miles Away, from his newly initiated solo project. Under the moniker, Nocebo, Mario is carrying the legacy of intimate songwriting on his guitar strings. In the production of his debut, raw unfiltered emotion rushes to the surface of the soul-bearing sonic escapade, which ensues from a stripped-back indie folk acoustic performance before a subtly striking Radiohead-esque crescendo delivers a rush of momentum and visceral emotion, visualising how affections ebb and flow through us, culminating in explosions of rumination. The versing of abstract consolation to an enigmatically tortured protagonist seeking sanctuary grips you through its compassionate intensity; even if you can’t find a piece of yourself within the narrative, you’ll find yourself in awe of Nocebo’s proficiency in hitting raw nerves with his arrestingly unique sonic signature. Miles Away is now available to stream on Spotify. Review by Amelia Vandergast

The British artist took to Instagram to announce their collaboration, telling fans it took him “around the other side of the world” earlier this year to meet with Cox.

“I had my most incredible adventure going and spending two days with @carlcoxofficial at his inimitable studio in Australia, learning all about his passion and love of music, his medicine, which he has shared with us,” he said.

“I so got to feel the love that radiates from Carl for his collection. I’m grateful to Carl for having trusted me to explore his vast collection of vinyl, which allowed me to create this artwork titled ‘Carl’.”

The upcoming collection will hit Brighton’s Enter Gallery on July 20, and will feature records selected by Cox, with the DJ saying (via MixMag): “Each record I choose has a story behind it and it was very emotional choosing the records that helped shape my journey.”

He called his collection, made up of 150,000 “all-time absolute superstar” records collected by both him and his late father, “the best of the best”.

“Every single one of these records are not promos, I literally went to the record store and stood there and went through the music,” he said of his records, which span multiple genres like jazz, funk, reggae, acid house and more.

He touched on the process of working alongside Vessey on the project, and said: “Watching Mark work really makes me understand how you can look deeper into art, and it makes me realise what a privilege and responsibility I have when sharing my love of music with the dancefloor.”

Vessey has also worked with artists like Fatboy Slim and Simon Dunmore on the Collections series. You can buy tickets for ‘Carl Cox by Mark Vessey’ here.

Cox also recently teamed up with Paul Oakenfold to have an “absolute blast” on their first ever collab, ‘Concentrate’.
