The worst part to every Primavera Sound festival? Today. Right now. What we are experiencing. The Monday after the greatest week of the year. Our annual summer vacation. Seven days filled with music, dancing, connecting, celebrating…gurl, liviiiing! 2025’s incredible edition was similar to 2019’s precedent where the focus was on the gender split and ensuring […]

It’s a buzzing Friday night in London’s Elephant & Castle, and a neon-lit crowd is howling with laughter at a joke only we would truly get. This isn’t just any comedy gig – it’s happening at the UK’s first permanent queer comedy club, Betty and Joan’s, a new venue cheekily named after comedy icons Betty White and Joan Rivers. […]

This Wednesday sees the Inaugural Day of the twenty-third edition of Primavera Sound in Barcelona. One of our favourite things about the festival is that it always ensures it shines a light on local talent coming from Barcelona, from Catalunya, from Spain…and this year is no exception. From Wednesday concerts focusing on the emerging local talent […]

Spanning the course of a romantic relationship over a number of years – from its sparky beginnings to its twisted end – the book also dives into questions of identity, language and self-love. Jean is a translator of French and Russian, and […]

Out now is ‘Reverbotic‘ the second single to be lifted from Alison Goldfrapp‘s second album, Flux. Alison’s 2023 debut album, The Love Invention, felt a little tentative by her standards, but with ‘Reverbotic’, baby are we back! Rougher, tougher and altogether tastier, the track’s squelchy synths and big-ass beat go in hard on her most […]

George Alley’s latest music video, “Dancing in Disguise,” is believed to be the first ever filmed entirely using the Audi 360° Surround View camera system.  Inspired by his new car’s onboard display, Alley enlisted longtime collaborator Adam Peditto to direct the video, which doubles as both a cinematic visual and a DIY statement. “She moves like […]

Now last time we hit up Lewisham, we loved the hustle, the bustle and the downright chaos of the place. However all opinions are subjective and the beauty of that is that the very same neighbourhood has inspired London-based producer Lauren Duffus to create a gorgeously dreamy soundscape. The track, ‘Lewisham‘, combines piano, voice and […]
