MUNA have always been excellent at nailing light and dark; while the Los Angeles trio’s biggest song is the deliciously featherweight infatuation of ‘Silk Chiffon’, their finest work centres on broken hearts, uncomfortable tensions or dark, destructive shadows lingering just out of frame. One of MUNA’s best, 2017’s ‘I Know A Place’, was written following the previous year’s Pulse nightclub shooting, and feels fragile and under threat even as it celebrates the safety and euphoria of queer spaces. And lord help anybody masochistic enough to listen to ‘Stayaway’ while weathering a break-up: “No one ever told me leaving was the…

If K-pop were a sonic cathedral, El Capitxn (born Jang Yi-jeong) would be one of the artists who designed some of its stained glass windows. For years, his name has appeared in the credits of global hits by BTS, IU and TXT, to name three. We know choreographies, songs and aesthetics about K-pop, rarely who is behind the mixers.

In its history…

Among four thousand people there is also a boy from Predappio: Giorgio Canali”. The docufilm dedicated to the “best Italian rocker” (copyright Giovanni Lindo Ferretti), which lasts an hour and 25 minutes and will be presented on May 10 at the Bellaria Film Festival (watch out for spoilers), opens with another assembly, in 2024, where there is still talk of…

After years of maddening media exposure, Blanco has taken a step back. It is a trajectory common to many new idols of the very young: to remain in the Sanremo area, just remember Madame, Sangiovanni and Angelina Mango. After the triumph at the Ariston with “Brividi” in 2022, together with Mahmood, and the publication and promotion of “Innamorato” (2023), he remained active as an author for others and with few collaborations and singles. “Ma'” is a third work that is listened to with the expectation that accompanies works perceived as decisive: after a very rapid rise, this should be a…

Isaac Gibson called 49 Winchester to attention. This was last October, and Gibson was standing in the balcony of the Roundhouse, a historic rock hall in the Camden Town borough of London, which had opened nearly 200 years ago as a railway shed. An hour earlier, 49 Winchester played to a sold-out crowd in the 3,300-capacity room below. Wyatt Flores had kicked off the evening, and every member of 49 agreed this was the biggest night of the group’s decade-plus career. The show was part of a European run that capped two years of touring behind Leavin’ This Holler, 49…

Nice to find ourselves talking to Étienne De Crécy. Nice because he is an old friend who hasn't met for almost twenty years, but he hasn't lost any of his friendliness and good nature; beautiful because in any case we are talking about a DJ/producer who has literally made the history of electronic dancefloor music, contributing like others and more than others to outline the boundaries of the celebrated, highly celebrated French Touch (that stylistic arc that goes from Daft Punk to Air passing through a sophisticated house, full of filters and samples); nice because too often when you have…
