I am  a huge electro swing fan, and so I came in to this gig with high expectations, and yet somehow Caravan Palace exceeded them all. The O2 Forum was filled with folks dressed up, looking glamorous and itching to move their dancing feet as soon as possible. JFTH warmed […]

SmallPrint Recordings Integer - Rivière Noire
We are big fans of the Brighton based label Smallprint. This EP from Integer is a real testament to their ‘future:ambient’ sound, however there is definitely a little more energy in this release. The tracks have a sense of urgency and pace, we have gone from lounging in a space […]

Integer – Rivière Noire EP

I like this (obviously, why else would it be an editors pick?). It reminds me of some adventure through a forest. Haunting and yet homely. It’s blissful folk music, so go enjoy it. Find more of his stuff here: conneryoungblood.com

Do you remember Hey Arnold? Well this chilled out ambient hip-hop tune has all the feel of that brilliant 90’s cartoon’s soundtrack stuffed in to it, which is why I assume the producer gave it such an apt name. Sit back, relax and enjoy this, or come up with a freestyle […]

Editors Pick: Flamingosis – Football Head

New Moon Brighton Music Review
We have an audio visual treat for you all today. Common Tongues have a new single titled ‘New Moon’ complete with a video. The gif above pretty much captures the gist of the video. Two women have a big fight, but it’s all in reverse you see. There are flashbacks to […]

Review of Brighton Musicians
The opening track of this album is ironic. ‘December’ is like getting a hug from summer itself, and not that awful British summer where it rains a lot. The first thing I thought when putting it on was that the clouds outside my window should instantly disappear, rolling away to reveal […]

Great Pagans – Cupid In Error

  Whoever said ‘print is dead’ never stepped in to Magazine Brighton. The small independent store situated on Trafalgar Street in the North Laines is a celebration of good old fashioned printed copy. Every cover is a work of art in itself and the store itself feels more like a gallery […]
