Simian at Chibuku: Win tickets

Radar: Mokoomba at The Picket, Liverpool
Luckily, the term ‘world music’ has now been rightfully relegated to the scrapheap of cringe - with the advent of YouTube, broadband and filesharing, country borders and genres become mushed up and insignificant. New generations of musicians are pushing forward with little concern for existing musical boundaries, and it’s completely thrilling. Africa’s excellent Mokoomba are [...]

Silent shout: Abandon Silence moves to the Masque
It’s been encouraging to see the steady rise of Abandon Silence. From its humble days as a half-full clubnight for a bunch of dance music nerds, to a must-attend event at the Shipping Forecast that regularly sells out, it’s been easily the biggest rise in Liverpool clubbing since Chibuku. Catering for the more experimental side [...]

Radar: Designival at Camp and Furnace

Radar: Lindstrøm at Kazimier
He’s a bit of a hero of ours. He writes 8 minute blissful techno operas called Boney M Down. He’s Norwegian. And he’s over here. We’re officially excited about Lindstrøm’s imminent appearance at the Kazimier (and surprised that this is the second post today featuring Boney M. Oh, those Russians) Expect stuff from his new [...]

Radar: Bastille, at Stanley Theatre
Some bands effortlessly push all our endorphin buttons. Bastille is one. The south London project headed by Dan Snow is now a fully fledged band, mixing Miike Snow-esque production chops with industrial beats and twitches, the result is beautiful, highly polished pop that lies somewhere between the skitter of Django Django and the glitter of [...]

Radar: Only Child at Leaf
Trestles frontman Alan O’Hare is an only child. That’s often a precursor for spoiled brats with too many Power Rangers. But, thankfully, O’Hare’s turned it into bruised and beautiful introspection on his latest musical project. Together with the sublime fiddle playing from Laura McKinaly his new set of songs are quietly moving meditations on love, [...]
