August 2, 2016As the world goes to shit the records keep playing. A dope show from Kamikaze aka Paul Ackroyd for Awkward Movements on NTS last week. We definitely haven’t spoken about how good clipping. (pictured above) are enough. One of the best live shows you’ll likely ever see, make sure you do. Stoked to see it dropped in the show alongside…
July 20, 2016Love a good Container photo. The man otherwise known as Ren Schofield is in to his own brand of techno possibly even more than we are. And it always seems to come out best live. The new Container plate it just the tip of the iceberg for records we’ve been getting excited about lately. So much good music coming through…

June 21, 2016There’s no way I’d be able to give voice or proper tribute to what happened in Orlando last week. The mass shooting of a lone gunman targeting the LGBT community seemed to highlight different issues for everyone. From the state of the media, to gun laws, to tolerance, to the spiral America is falling in to – the list is…

April 21, 2016Surprised there’s not been more kicking around about this; photographer James Barnor will be doing a Q&A at Westminster Reference Library next month, discussing his life’s work and his first monograph Ever Young which was published last year. Born in Ghana on the tail end of the 1920’s, Barnor opened his first studio in Accra in 1950. As a photojournalist…
