Paolo Belli come back with Scent of summerthe new single on the radio and on all digital platforms for CinicoDisenchanto/Artist First.

The front cover of Every Single Muscle, the new album from smalltown Welsh duo The Bug Club, depicts a hypervascular cartoon man-bull launching into space. With its eight pendulous nipples, surgically remodeled chin, and miles-long fleshy torso trailing grotesquely in its wake, the monster is a fitting mascot for an album whose gaze never falls far from the human body’s folds, crevices, hanging-off bits.This is The Bug Club’s sixth album in four years, in which time they’ve crossed the Atlantic so often and built enough of a reputation behind their oddball garage-pop that they’ve signed to faraway Sub Pop. Even…

Krano ride ancora, ma amaramente, quando ripensa ai David di Donatello. E un po’ si incazza perché continua a non sentirsi a suo agio dentro la narrazione che gli è stata cucita addosso dopo aver vinto il premio per la Migliore canzone originale con Ti, il brano scritto per il film Le città di pianura di Francesco Sossai. Da una parte è stato descritto come il cantautore delle radici, il custode del dialetto, il simbolo di un Veneto che torna a raccontarsi. Dall’altra, quella che lui sente più aderente, Marco Spigariol sbuffa e in questa intervista ci spiega cosa non…

The innovations of Berlin’s Basic Channel in the mid-’90s led to a whole new way of thinking about dance music, introducing countless producers to the possibilities of reverb and delay. Producers have been working off the template they set for dub techno ever since. Less often imitated is the duo’s work as Rhythm & Sound, where they slowed their music to reggae tempos and hewed closer to the Jamaican innovations that informed their trippy production tricks. This sound is having a small moment right now. Stuttgart’s Ghost Dubs has made a career of it, both solo and with a fired-up…

The ambient producer Jake Muir has a gift for hearing depth in sounds that might otherwise be deemed forgettable. The omnipresent church bells that fade into the background of European city life became the focal point of Campana Sonans, his brilliant album of manipulated field recordings from Berlin. On Bathhouse Blues, he sampled incidental music from vintage gay porn films, finding a dark pulse wriggling beneath their surface eroticism. Muir’s latest album, Pareidolia, mines the oft-overlooked intros, outros, and interludes of hundreds of extreme metal albums for raw material, reshaping them into a menacing, inscrutable, richly textured collage. There’s no…
