Not infrequently I find myself thinking how cool it would be to have soundtracks designed specifically for books. Not just background music, but something tailor-made for what you’re actually reading. Imagine being immersed in the pages of a compelling novel and having music in your ears that follows word by word, chapter by chapter, the unfolding of the storyline. If…

My dear emerging artists, I’m here today to announce you that the entry level for the title of ‘newcomer of the year’ has been officially set. I’m not going to exaggerate by saying that I’ve found the winner yet, but surely the game has just gotten much tougher. Discovered completely at random a few weeks ago, it took me very…

Twenty-five years and still going strong! It may be a veteran of the scene, but Hospital Records has certainly not lost its edge. In addition to all the masterpieces that the UK label continues to add to its catalog, a few days ago it managed to take me totally by surprise and with this totally unexpected gem. I can hardly…

Here we are! After the first part dedicated to the exploration of the roots and origins of wave, we’re about to continue our journey with our eyes stuck to the present and, above all, to the bright future of this genre and its culture.

It’s officially another quarantine Sunday morning, however this time I’m going to kicking off my weekend in a slightly different way. Brioches and cappuccino obviously cannot be missed on my table, but today there’s more on the menù. Something hot, tasty, highly energy-giving.

I still can’t believe I’m really doing this. Premiering a Klasey Jones track was something I thought was only possible in my dreams and yet, here I am. The excitement is palpable here in my room right now, my palms are sweaty while I hit the keyboard, but let’s go step by step. This story (yes, because it’s a story…

I’ll be straight honest with you guys. There’s not much to write in this review. All I can do is to bring this song to your attention. It does the rest on its own. It’s perfection, it’s magnificence, its power speaks loud and clear without the need of harbingers. Moore Kismet has done extraordinary things so far but ‘Rumor’, the…

NLV, three simple letters that in the past year have become synonymous with quality, originality and innovation. If you add just five more to the equation, the result will be beyond your wildest predictions. Not random letters of course, but the ones that compose Laces. While the latest signee of Nina Las Vegas impri’nt was not a completely new face…

A new Troyboi EP? Vindata & Laxcity’s return? These are old news! The hot stuff it’s right here, right now. Okay, sorry for the abrupt start, I’m going to take a step back and explain to you what’s happening. It occurs that, behind this brand new Phuture Collective release titled ‘Revival’ are two of the most formidable minds out there…

Wow, it’s been more than one year and a half since my last piece about laxcity. It does feel strange. When an artist is so present in my life with their music, I often lose track of time as I don’t feel the need to check out anything else besides their albums and songs. Nor their social accounts, nor their…
