  • “Swoopin” – Baauer

    “Swoopin” – Baauer

    It’s been a minute (over a month) since Baauer released his “ß” EP on Scottish label LuckyMe, and two weeks since he dropped “Swoopin” as a single. [continued]

  • Gig Review: The Vengaboys

    Nostalgia is an inherently important aspect of looking at Venue 1 and tonight was no execption. Venue One was blessed with a perfect send off, thanks to the mind-blowing headlining performance of the Vengaboys. [continued]

  • Gig Review: FFALL

    FFALL, or Festival for All, a jam-packed day filled with eclectic sounds, alluring arts and crafts, and appetizing food was undoubtedly a revolutionary festival catering to all at St Andrews (pun very much intended). The day started at 2 pm at All Saints Church, as an intimate crowd doodled on glass bottles and crafted colorful bracelets… [continued]

  • Artist Spotlight: Parliament Funkadelic

    Artist Spotlight: Parliament Funkadelic

    A movement that was pioneered by jazz musician Sun Ra, who claims to have been born on Saturn, Afrofuturism was the artistic manifestation of the idea that the only way to cope with the present human condition of the African American was to look to the future not the depressing “futureless future” of segregated 1950s… [continued]

    Album Review: Aquarius – Tinashe

    Firstly, let’s give everybody a little reminder. Tinashe is a DIY artist. That means she and her small team organise studio time, video shoots and press alone. So with so many time consuming, non-music related tasks, how did Tinashe manage to write, record and release three critically acclaimed mixtapes far before her debut album was… [continued]

  • Happyness

    Happyness

    One year since their conception, Happyness have, to date, released one self-titled EP and their debut studio album ‘Weird Little Birthday’. The London-three piece have spent their short time as a band honing their lo-fi, slacker rock-indebted sound which seems to be very much the ‘thing’ of the moment if you look at bands like… [continued]

  • The Vision of Hiro Murai

    The Vision of Hiro Murai

    On first thoughts, the music video is a bizarre artistic format. Somewhat of a crossover between easy advertising and visually adding greater depth or meaning to a song, the format has risen from the exclusivity of the MTV broadcast to take on the world wide web, with individual clips garnering millions of views.

  • Spotlight On: Chester Watson

    Spotlight On: Chester Watson

    After first hearing Chester Watson’s “Phantom” last year, I was instantaneously drawn to his enigmatic sinister-sounding instrumentals and nonchalant lyrical flow. Initially, I thought he might have been associated with Pro.Era but after digging through a multitude of hip-hop blogs, it seemed as if he was rolling on his own. It wasn’t even clear where… [continued]
