Via dei Matti n°0 will return in 2027. This is confirmed Rai Culturewhich announced the return of the program hosted by Stefano Bollani And Valentina Cenni on Rai 3after a year's break also due to the complex television programming of 2026. The program will resume the journey that began five years ago, maintaining the location that the public has come to know. The decision comes at the end of a discussion between Rai Culture and production, which in recent months had also evaluated alternative solutions, including a new prime time format. Via dei Matti n°0 go back up Rai 3…
By comparison, tracks like “God” and “Misery” are the best demonstrations of matt proxy’s individualism. The latter materializes fuzzy and squeaky, the beat and vocals compressed like a chintzy Limewire bootleg. “Darling, I’m not blaming you for all my misery,” the sample cries as proxy mulls over his personal failures and the trials of a youthful long-distance relationship. But just as quickly it all fades out, and a new, deeply exultant beat bursts like a supernova, full of fist-pumping drums and beautiful, harmonious Auto-Tune crunch. “God” is equally triumphant. Featuring never goodbye and bedroom-rock mainstay Current Joys, its climax is…

When Donato Scaramuzzi and Omar McCutcheon stepped into the DJ booth together at the Netherlands’ Draaimolen festival in 2023, their back-to-back set represented a meeting of two different generations, and two distinct sensibilities. Rome’s Scaramuzzi, better known as Donato Dozzy, made his name in the early 2000s, when he began developing a psychedelic strain of techno that owed as much to the minimalism of Terry Riley as to Robert Hood or Plastikman, and since then he has continued—particularly in the duo Voices From the Lake—to push into the deepest recesses of techno’s collective unconscious. McCutcheon came up a decade later,…
There are Maxo Kream songs that, at a certain point, make you realize you’ve been holding your breath. That’s partly due to the Houston rapper’s iron grip on syllables: Listening to his drumline-precise cadence on “Greener Knots,” from 2021’s Weight of the World, or the way he dodges between the drums and bass on “Bussdown,” from 2018’s Punken, feels like watching a tennis match at twice the speed. Once you’ve acclimated to his particular staccato, you’ll register the lidless stare with which he details lives lived in constant conflict, his characters either scraping by in the nick of time or…
The jig is up. The act behind the most bewildering ambient techno of the past 15 years is not a shadowy syndicate or group of evil geniuses. It’s actually just Izaak Schlossman, who started the project back in Seattle as part of a crew called Aught. The proliferation of aliases, and the artist’s eventual move to San Francisco—where he started the synth-pop band Loveshadow—caused lingering confusion. No one could decide where Topdown Dialectic was based, or how many people it was, or if people were even making the music, instead of algorithms or bots. (Past press materials have referred to…
Citare Flaubert in un articolo sui System of a Down può sembrare un filo azzardato, ma stiamo pur sempre parlando di una gruppo che ha messo nello stesso disco una canzone dedicata alle storture del sistema carcerario americano e una sulla gioia di saltare su un trampolo a molla. Vale tutto. Flaubert esorta a essere «regolare e ordinato nella vita, così potrai essere violento e originale nel lavoro» e mi pare che la frase renda bene l’esperienza di Serj Tankian dentro e fuori i System. Del resto l’aforisma è citato nell’autobiografia del cantante Down with the System da poco pubblicata…
The hard-blues opening leaves no doubt: “The Way To The Stars” is the passport to the stars signed by Revangels, a Milanese band now on their second album. Proud, visceral sounds, which smell of tube amplifiers, dust and sweat, with the ghost of Led Zeppelin walking arm in arm with the street urgency of Free and the sincere urgency of musicians who chew this music right down to their guts. The album thrives on wild dynamics and muddy slowdowns, sudden hard-rock flares and robust roundness that would work perfectly in theairplay radio (the final “A Spark In The Darkness” is…
We must face a “global plague”, Genesis Owusu warns us. And the only way to do it is to look a frightening reality in the face and fight against it, bringing into play nothing less than our bodies which dance to the point of exhaustion. Animated by this urgency, the third work of the Australian artist of Ghanaian origins adopts an even more radically politicized posture than in previous albums. A red star, reminiscent of the flag of his native country, perhaps winking at a guerrilla war about to be triggered or perhaps already begun, appears on the cover and…
Paul McCartney reportedly played ‘I Want To Hold Your Hand’ for the first time since 1964 at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding. The couple were married at New York’s Madison Square Garden on Friday (July 3), with the star-studded ceremony reportedly officiated by Adam Sandler. While details around the ceremony have so far remained largely under wraps, it had been reported that both McCartney and Stevie Nicks performed at the event. Now, according to People, it has emerged that McCartney performed ‘I Want To Hold Your Hand’, in what is believed to be his first performance of the song since The Beatles played it in 1964. People reported that…
