Tricky might be over three decades deep into his music career but he’s currently on a creative roll. In the last year he’s put out an acclaimed autobiography, Hell Is Round The Corner, dropped the enchanting 20,20 EP and is on the verge of releasing Fall To Pieces, his 14th studio album, on 4th September.
For Tricky s fifth album Juxtapose he teamed with DJ Muggs (the architect of Cypress Hill s sound, a clear precedent for Tricky s) and DMX s producer, Grease. This album is quite obviously a Tricky album: a highly eccentric artist, an unusual mix of collaborators, an entirely new expression and message.
Fresh off the release of latest single Love Me More and three consecutive Top 5 debuts on the Billboard Top 200 in just over 12 months, multi-platinum rapper singer Trippie Redd is back with the highly-anticipated fourth installment of his A Love Letter To You mixtape series. The 21-track collection includes features from DaBaby, Juice WRLD, Lil Yachty, Smokepurpp, YNW Melly, Tory…
Austin power trio TROLLER fuse fuzz bass, heavy analog electronics, and cinematic sound design into a simmering eight-song exorcism on their full-length Relapse debut Drain. Led by bassist and singer Amber Star-Goers, the line-up includes synthesist and rhythm programmer Adam Jones (of S U R V I V E), and guitarist and engineer Justin Star-Goers…
Continuing to exploit their creative urges to their ends, multi-platinum electronic duo Daft Punk (Guy-Manuel de Homen-Christo and Thomas Bangalter) took on one of their most ambitious projects to date in 2008, when they agreed to score the modern remake of the hugely influential 1982 film, Tron. Daft Punk s reverence of the original film and the themes that define…
We like what Trouble have done with this album, Plastic Green Head . The music sounds fairly dissimilar to the completely doom-laden, crushing riffs present on the earlier material, but what Trouble do here sounds every bit authentic. Not to mislead you, this definitely still sounds like Trouble, but they seem to have adopted a…
Trouble’s early work and, in particular, “Psalm 9” represent everything that Doom Metal should be (but so often is not). Think about it, here is a band who are really rather diverse, with regard to tempo, arrangements and mood, and are not afraid to break the mould of what is typically expected of a Doom…
Here we have Trouble returning with “Simple Mind Condition”, after a long hiatus (twelve years had passed since the release of “Plastic Green Head”), taking once more to theskies of metal. Some complaints and criticism followed upon its release which are not really fair. Although fat and doomy stomps as on “Psalm 9” and “The…
Trouble s second album The Skull is not a sophomore slump, it is the shedding of dead skin. In fact, the sophomore slump is a disease that rarely seems to strike in the metal realm and was near non-existent for any half decent early 80 s metal band. As bands were being picked up relatively quickly by labels…
Power Struggle offers the listener an opportunity to hear the Tru-Tones in their prime. The band’s expansion into disco resulted in a couple of killer tracks in ‘Let’s Party’ and ’Dancing’ (a true dance floor winner), that are embedded within a slab of incredible reggae and funky calypso numbers. A prime example of how to…
Capricorn Sun is the long awaited debut LP from TSHA, one of the most exciting artists and producers of the moment, effortlessly bridging the dance underground and pop mainstream. From the music to the artwork, TSHA is the driving creative force behind everything she touches and Capricorn Sun is her most expansive vision to date….
Featuring twelve key full-length tracks from TSHA’s mix for fabric including her own exclusive bright house track BOYZ . Another four of the tracks are release-exclusives as well – those by Aspect, Ryan Clover, Jeran Portis and Nicolson. Cover art draws on 90 s raves, old skool vibes and the ethos of escapism and bringing…

MD band charting new ground for hardcore, expanding stylistic boundaries and celebrating new possibilities.
