With just over a month until Noisily Festival opens her luscious Leiceshire arms to the public, vibes at base camp are ramping up to exploding point. Curious to meet the masterminds behind the operation we hunted down Mr Charles Audley – one of the FIVE – for a quick pow wow. Q. Firstly thanks for […]
SYDNEY – The Quest For A Decent Club Night – La Famiglia @ The Burdekin
Thu 5th June by
A few things happened to me last weekend which I wont lie: (a) haven’t happened in a while, and (b.) I’d feared might NEVER happen in this fine city of Sydney. I danced in a club, to high quality music, surrounded by amazing people – not a dickhead in sight. No lies. Now you may […]

Born of a love for sculpture, fire and blowing peoples minds – festival giant Arcadia this year announced news of a brand new Glastonbury home. This year the behemoth of behemoths will be spreading its fire toting wings to the Home Ground, where it’ll set up camp as ‘the Mechanical Playground’. More epic than anything […]
Visited – Jackson and His Computer Band – Dead Living Things
Wed 9th April by
I’d never even heard of Jackson and His Computer Band, until today. His track ‘Dead Living Things’ has now dragged itself, at least 10 times, bleeding, through the gravel of my mind. I am in LOVE. The French producer – effortless amalgamator of 80s-inspired sounds and violent techno – last year released his first album […]
HOLY FRICKING SHIT….Sleigh Bells at Blissfields!

Visited – Squarepusher – Come On my Selector
Mon 24th March by
It’s VERY hard to believe that Squarepusher’s Come on My Selector was Chris Cunningham’s (Aphex Twin fave) first time as an editor. Razor sharp and tight like a tiger- it’s as cinematic as it is freaky deaky. What’s also utterly unfathomable, is the concept was dreamt up just days before production: “I remember thinking fuck, […]
Daft Punk and Jay Z “Computerized”. Shit? Or Am I Just Gettin’ Old?
Wed 12th March by
This collaboration has my feelings in a heightened state of discombobulation. I can’t tell if it’s shit, or if I’ve just lost touch with the kids entirely. I’m irked by the monotonous chorus lines, but simultaneously swept up in Daft Punk’s trademark rolling bass lines, super-synth and epic reverb. The real hair in my soup […]

Mon 10th March by
Dark, soulful and atmospheric street styles – Flume & Chet Faker’s ‘Drop the Game’ features the INCREDIBLE moves of flex champion – Storyboard P. The 23 year old Brooklyn boy first experienced dance with his grandma. As a painfully shy toddler he hated the feeling of exposure and vulnerability; he soon however learned to harass […]
Visited – Die Antwoord – FATTY BOOM BOOM
Sun 2nd March by
Described as ‘a bright and colorful African adventure’, the video for Die Antwoord’s 2012 FATTY BOOM BOOM is a flippin’ CRACKER – gasps of confused wonderment guaranteed. Making blatant digs at the music industry – particularly ex record label and label mate, Interscope and Lady Gaga – harsh lyrics take a stone cold stab at todays […]
