Chicago footwork artist @heavee773 talks to RA about how his love of video games and recent voyage of self-discovery inspired his excellent new album on @Hyperdub. Read the feature ra.co/features/4318
Recently, I was lucky to meet up with @heavee773, a masterful footwork producer and a genuine joy of a person. We dug into his latest LP, his history with dance, the emotional core of his work, the importance of building new worlds, and plenty more. ra.co/features/4318
Weekend energy from @frikaan_time 🔊 Listen to the Fresh Kicks mix here: djmag.com/features/fresh…
In my debut for @DJmag, I spoke with the one and only Akanbi, an absolute joy of a person who knows his way around a killer party. We went wide, talking about smuggling radios into boarding school, the origins of GROOVY GROOVY, and so much more.

In my latest for @Passionweiss, I went deep on my favorite sets from last month. As per usual, there's a bit of everything here: old-school rave-ups, zoned-out trip-hop, bleary-eyed ambience, chilly classical music, white-hot club tools, and a ton more. passionweiss.com/2024/04/07/sla…
Back to covering the Brazilian funk scene with a review for @pitchfork!! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 Spent the last month trying to describe the new funk.BR comp from @NTSlive, which shows the endless and impertinent creativity of the funk mandelão underworld pitchfork.com/reviews/albums…
very thankful to the team at @Truants for having me truantsblog.com/2024/truancy-v…
my @pitchfork column is back and better than ever 🔊 i wrote about the (questionable) term "latin club" and a few thrilling new labels to watch 💥 pitchfork.com/thepitch/latin…
In a time when electronic music journalists are leaving the field in droves, writers like Michael McKinney (@mmck_) are more valuable than ever. His work at @Passionweiss is especially great, and today he was nice enough to pop by First Floor with a guest recommendation.
Interview I did w @Passionweiss at the end of last year 💚

Slam on the CDJ is back. For @Passionweiss, I explored the DJ sets that moved me most last month. There's a ton to love here: world-weary house, screwed-up pop, unapologetic trance belters, new-school dembow, sun-kissed chill-out cuts, and so much more. passionweiss.com/2024/03/05/sla…
Welcome to wav.world 🌎🌀 First edition with Mor Elian & @rhywmusic now live <3 wav.world
Last year, I was lucky enough to speak with Jake Muir, a critical figure in new-school sound art. We went wide, exploring his approaches to production, his work with the GRM, rebuilding the wheel, and more. Our conversation is available at @Passionweiss: passionweiss.com/2024/02/27/jak…

✨ DEBUT FOR @CrackMagazine ✨ For my first feature for Crack, I spent time with @jawnino and spoke about the new generation of London MCs and the fertile ground platforms like Victory Lap, Just Jam and Travs Presents are providing for them crackmagazine.net/article/profil…

all music of the last ~900 years is garbage because these generations have all failed to produce a Hildegard von Bingen, objective fact right there. get back to me when you’ve got a von Bingen ok
One year ago I was preparing to publish my weird little game on Steam and look for an IT job again. I made the store page live in May and was expecting to sell maybe 10 copies It’s been a crazy year. So grateful I get to do what I love as a career now
imagine steph pulling up from 40 100x in a game, drilling every single shot and then logging on to twitter to post about how "basketball sucks"... ??? that's how i feel
whoo! all right! give it to me! pitchfork.com/reviews/albums…
this is a great bit of writing on relationships and politics, but aside from that, this first sentence captures something ive increasingly felt is pretty much core to how i evaluate… everything
Kept waiting and waiting for someone to write about polyamory, but nobody else seemed interested so I did it myself yalereview.org/article/brandy…
Writers/editors - Are you currently planning/working on any Pride Month content? If so, I have a release for you 💜 #prrequest
‘the protests are robbing my Columbia students of listening to John Cage’s 4’33, the piece of music that is explicitly designed to force you to listen to…what’s around you.’ absolutely perfect
Anyways, I don’t even know where to start, but at the premiere of 4’33” in 1952, you couldn’t hear birds chirping either because people in the audience stood up and started yelling at him to get the hell out of town, which Cage quite enjoyed.
I have a new mix+interview up with Atmospheric River, a new hyperlocal Seattle zine. Check it out! on.soundcloud.com/HsvWRdwUntTZiV…
if anyone has a live recording or mix they could deliver for next week to be hosted on wav.world, pls dm me! paid opportunity & if live recording, must be able to submit tracklist
Guys like this tout the Art of War as one of their favourite books and fail to remember that like 95% of the advice in there is just "soldiers need food so for the love of heaven, organise your supply lines"
Bullshit bureaucratic jobs are a waste of time and money. Napoleon didn’t win wars because of pencil pushers, he won them because of hard-working military men.
I got yelled at for calling taylor the mcu of music but what else do you call a decade long run of unprecedented success capped by a record breaking celebration of what came before then retreating into lore that’s alienating to general audiences. matty healy is disney+ of course

I would actually really like to hear what a post-fame Taylor Swift album would sound like. She’s obviously skilled, but her commitment to branding holds her back. She’s a billionaire, she should get weird with it
