Stuck On Repeat / #017
Below is the latest edition of our weekly feature, Stuck On Repeat. The premise is simple, we’ve asked all our contributors to submit one track and a brief write-up. The track can be new or it can be old, just whatever we could not stop listening to this week. These are the songs we’ve had [...]
Remembering The Time
Since MJ’s death I think people have been generally reluctant to give his material the remix or cover treatment. Everyone and their dog got that out of their system immediately following his passing. It’s hard to act jaded towards such an en masse heartfelt gesture, but I think there’s been a [...]

I can’t remember my exact sources, but on several occasions I’ve read salty reports by xx fans who arrived at Romy-manned DJ nights to be met by the apparently unbearable sound of UK funky thumping the speakers. I’m confused why this sound would clear a club floor. The dark, wobbling basslines and slicing laserblast synths [...]
Distant Shores
The glo-fi sound has pitter-patted its way coast to coast and after winning over beach-starved urban dwellers and rural dreamers alike, washed up on foreign soil to influence musicmakers abroad. London four-piece Family take the sparse, bright compositional structures we’ve come to associate as modes of escapism and freshen up your expectations of the sound [...]
