Born in Frankfurt and now based in Berlin, René Pawlowitz is one of the most renowned names in contemporary German techno. Over time he has published under around twenty different pseudonyms, but Shed has always remained his reference name. Now on my seventh album with this one moniker“Rave Echoes” marks his debut on Dekmantel: a work that tells not the peak of the evening, but what remains once the lights go out. The intention is not to create a nostalgic work but, to paraphrase the artist's words, to restore that sensation that remains for days, weeks or years after experiencing…
Thirty-three years into her career, Beth Orton is making some of the best music of her life. The one-time UK “comedown queen” followed her run of big-name rave collabs and beat-heavy folk-pop records in the ’90s and early ’00s with a restless decade or so, but it was on 2022’s Weather Alive that she really figured out how she should sound: expansive live arrangements instead of beats, crack session players instead of big-name producers. The precedent was David Bowie’s Blackstar and Kate Bush’s 50 Words for Snow—artists in high-priest middle age getting back in touch with their musicianship while remaining…
Every song Hammok write—whether it takes the form of clanking noise-rock, hurtling post-hardcore, or punk ripped straight from the chest and then dismantled in its own distortion—is made to be heard in a mosh pit. The Norwegian trio’s debut EP, however, was forced to act out those motions in absentia; singer-guitarist Tobias Osland, bassist Ole Benjamin Thomassen, and drummer Ferdinand Aasheim formed the band during the era of COVID lockdowns. Four years later and now settled into their second album, When Does This Place Become Our Scene, the Norwegian musicians should feel euphoric tearing through their music in live settings.…
A journey through real places marked by the great tragedies of rock history: murders, suicides and premature deaths that transformed everyday spaces into places of worship and collective memory. From homes to hotels, from streets to iconic buildings, an alternative geography of music emerges, where the myth of rock stars is inextricably intertwined with their end. From Jimi Hendrix to Janis Joplin, passing through Marvin Gaye and Ian Curtis. In These Must Be The Places – Dark Atlas of Rock by Camilla Sernagiotto (Arcana Edizioni), we cross an alternative map of the history of rock made not only of music,…
There is a perfect correspondence, both aesthetic and content, in the cover of the debut of the young Radhika Meera Dade. “Cine-Pop” is not just a title, but a real declaration of intent that marks the debut of the Scottish singer-songwriter. Published in May 2026 by the London label Glass Modern, the album is a little jewel of 33 minutes and 20 seconds: a duration that symbolically pays homage to the speed of traditional 33 rpm vinyl records. The album sublimely fuses traditional Glasgow dream-pop with the warm sounds and vintage textures of the artist's Indian heritage. The backbone of…
The rapper said the blogger violated a previous deal stemming from Cardi’s $4 million defamation victory in 2022 Gossip blogger Tasha K has agreed to pay Cardi B $60,000 after the Grammy-winning rapper went after the blogger for violating a previous legal ruling and disparaging her online. The agreement, filed Tuesday and obtained by Rolling Stone, states that Cardi and Tasha K reached the resolution “to avoid the expense, delay and uncertainty of further litigation” over the total amount awarded. Their latest legal dispute stems from Cardi’s $4 million defamation victory in 2022 against the blogger, whose legal name is Latasha…
The fourth trial in a yearslong legal fight between TI, Tameka “Tiny” Harris, and the toy giant MGA Entertainment did not go the celebrity couple's way. TI and Harris had sought to restore some of the $53.6 million in punitive damages that a judge in California had previously thrown out. But on Wednesday, the jury in the latest trial found that MGA had not acted with malice, meaning no punitive damages would be awarded. As a result, the couple's total recovery remains capped at the $17.9 million in compensatory damages awarded by a different jury nearly two years ago. “We…

System Of A Down’s Serj Tankian has hit out at the Israeli government, accusing them of “using” Armenian history and their “genocide and pain” to their “political advantage”. The frontman is of Armenian descent and all four of his grandparents were survivors of the 1915 genocide that took place during World War I, and led to the deaths of between 664,000 and 1.2 million Armenians, according to United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. Tankian and the band have regularly shed light on the mass killings of Armenians under the Ottoman Empire between 1915 and 1916, and even thanked former President Joe…
