Another beautiful mix from Chuquimamani-Condori, this time Americana heavy www.nts.live/shows/guests...

Couldn’t have hacked being Josef K, can’t even hack a pending DPD parcel

This Earl Sweatshirt album is a joy to listen to.

Madness youtu.be/R9CzEfOLWlY?...

Killer album on.soundcloud.com/vIXj56i76Iaj...

Young artists are really digging into noughties sounds, can’t quite put my finger on it but nostalgia doesn’t seem like the right word. Almost seems an imaginative springboard to go off somewhere else. See also YT, Feng, PinkPantheress, and stateside people like Che youtu.be/aEO90W7esC8?...

sick, heat-seeking Brazilian forró and piseiro street raves showcased by key DJ/producer JLZ and researcher GG Albuquerque - new from the indomitable Nyege Nyege Tapes bit.ly/4migmC2

This Dijon album is pretty crazy

“These are revolutionary hexes. That hallucinatory purple fog doesn’t obscure, it hones in and heightens.” DJ K’s Radio Libertadora! is tQ's Album of the Week buff.ly/pILlvzu

Finally; the dog is out, a note has been pushed through the neighbours’ letter box offering to replace any rendering that falls off their house. Time for DJ K!

“Time spent with noise, gabba, darkside hardcore, the power bass of Indian sound systems, indeed, prior waves of Brazilian funk, can all help you to some degree, but this is self-evidently a new threshold you have to adapt to.” DJ K’s Radio Libertadora! is tQ's Album of the Week buff.ly/pILlvzu

Reviewed the new DJ K album for The Quietus. The hardest dance record you’ll hear this year.

Reviewed the new Che record for TQ, which ups the ante on the ever escalating rage sound

'Che follows in the rage footsteps of fellow ATLien Playboi Carti in a chase for ever-escalating levels of extremity. He’s a self professed rockstar, a live wire hedonist.' Che - REST IN BASS is a Quietus Album of the Month for July 2025 buff.ly/6qH7Q3y

Lovely short review of one of the most ecstatically beautiful and moving albums of the year www.fbi.radio/articles/alb...

New DJ Narciso sounding real nice principediscos.bandcamp.com/album/cap-tu...

Starting to get won over by YHWH Nailgun, who I was initially too harsh on. Would like to see them live, the interplay between them here is undeniably very exciting to watch youtu.be/4KYpfc9WrUU?...

Breaks in the stream In a new Against The Grain column, Derek Walmsley argues that Spotify's partial catalogue of underground genres such as grime and jungle distorts listeners’ understanding of their history @derekwalmsley.bsky.social www.thewire.co.uk/in-writing/c...

Utter dreck from the Observer here

Coming to terms with it being midway through the year, and as such my 'Best of 2025' list is beginning to take shape. My favourite 20 albums of the year to date, most of which I've either covered in my column, or written about for The Quietus. Recommendations very much appreciated and encouraged

On my third listen of this behemoth and it’s some of the most moving psychedelic music I’ve ever heard. Scrambles your head and rips at your heart. Chiquimanani-Condori is doing things with sampling no one else is, every bit as crucial as Los Thuthanaka

As if the Los Thuthanaka wasn’t enough, 24 edits from Chuquimamani-Condori. No doubt essential chuquimamani-condori.bandcamp.com/album/edits

Easily one of the year’s best records

Some of the craziest rap in the world is coming out the UK right now youtu.be/cfvvlMI45xs?...

Question for any ex smokers, does it get easier? Even if no please delude me that it does

New Clipse album kind of sucks. Pharrell really missed the mark on these beats. And what happened to the So Be It beat? Such a shame

I like Wire, but did not know they had this in them. Fair play youtu.be/vl15Xzbg8FY?...

Blowing my mind the music UK teenagers are putting out atm. The kids are alright. youtu.be/8rqEfibJxE0?...

Have positive and negative feelings toward Adam Curtis but him straight faced saying never trust a liberal to Marina Hyde and Richard Osman and them mindlessly chuckling along is very funny. Keep going back to it

Lots of interesting stuff as always from TQ, and a lot I need to check out. Can’t believe it’s already half way through the year. These are my faves so far…

Can’t believe how long it took me to get something so self evidently good as The Stooges. They’re the best

Can’t believe we’re reverting back to “Israel has a right to defend itself”

more writing! Prefab Sprout’s Steve McQueen is 40. For @thequietus.com I looked at how the unusual union of Paddy McAloon and Thomas Dolby created an album that would influence Arthur Russell and Caroline Polachek, closer to Thriller than it’s indie contemporaries. thequietus.com/opinion-and-...

This is amazing raisaraisak.bandcamp.com/album/affect...

Was very easy to sneer at Greta Thunberg but she’s proven herself to have far more courage, commitment, and consistency than any of her detractors. What she’s doing right now deserves unequivocal support. A hero.

War criminal podcast dad and stand up comedy daughter is the most evil family dynamic

As well as doing a liberal both siding of a genocide, Thom Yorke has proven himself once again to be really quite thick

Man, fucking Bono, the worst

The BBC have no morals or backbone

FREE PALESTINE

If this is what you do with power then it’s genuinely better to be a party of protest. Would much rather have a principled opposition that make a loud and public left argument than these fucking arseholes trying to outdo Reform

We have a Labour leader willing to parrot Enoch Powell domestically and support a genocidal ethnostate abroad. Evil

I’m fucking with this new Moin ep a lot more than the last album
