Telepathe ready to boggle your mind
Telepathe – Busy Gangnes and Melissa Livaudais – are on a deep, dark, sensory mission to get snap, crackle and pop on your ass. The two women have been friends-lovers-friends for more than half a decade and, in that time, they’ve etched out expansive yet claustrophobic, poppy yet menacing music together.

UK-loving swede producing dance music that has a familjen ring
Today, Familjen – known better to his folks as Johan T. Karlsson – is elsewhere. “I actually forgot about the interview,” he nervously admits. “I’m doing a thing for Swedish television this afternoon and it’s my first time on TV. I think I’m singing and playing piano a bit.”

Rye Rye born and bread in Bmore and on the rise
“You walk into the club and see loads of kids, mostly high schoolers. It’s hot, ’cos it’s so crowded, and everybody is dancing; everyone’s competing in big circles. The people in the middle are doing their thing as everyone around them watches. You catch people sitting on the speakers in the back. And you’ve got a good host, the best host: Buck Jones. You hear him and you die laughing; you’re cracking up as you watch circles of boys dancing, one by one taking their turn. The music just be jumpin’, and with the bass, you have no other choice but to start dancing. Then your song comes on and you find yourself jumping up, yelling ‘That’s my SONG!’”

French octet up and Coming Soon
Words Gareth Dobson
Given the rather authoritarian state of French radio and their strict quotas of French-language-only music, to be a band singing in English and complementing it with a sweet, West Coast-style sound is to cast yourself as somewhat of an outsider.

Painting the town red is giving Liz Green the blues
“No, it’s fine, we can talk. I just thought I’d be somewhere else by now.”
Liz Green is on the bus, on her way to pick up the keys to her new Manchester flat. It’s an apt metaphor for where the northwest-born singer-songwriter is at in her musical career – en route to bigger and better things, but still charmingly disorganised, and travelling to her destination by the most unpretentious method.

L-Vis 1990 producing hyper bass that will leave the building destroyed
L-Vis 1990, aka London-based producer James Connolly, has just released his first EP, ‘Magnetic’: four tracks of wonderfully rhythmic, pounding, hypnotic bass music. It’s bass with a mega-capital B; a sound that’s been christened ‘hyper bass’, from a scene that includes Bok Bok and Manara, Boy 8-Bit and Tomb Crew (among others), all of whom are Londonite producers/DJs/VJs united by a dedication to dancey, grimey, heavy music. And L-Vis 1990’s logo is, of course, a big bleeding ear.

Skream keeping one dubstep beyond
Oliver Jones, wildly creative kingpin in the development of dubstep, has always shied away from the middle-of-the-road. The man known as his old graffiti tag, Skream, started working in a record store aged 14 where, alongside fellow luminary DJ Hatcha, he immersed himself in dark beats rather than doing schoolwork. He started producing at the same age.
