Do I know any music journalists on here who are proper Boards Of Canada nerds? Make yrsels known if so

Very sad to learn that Moya Brennan has died. RIP ✨ The first and only person to ever sing in Irish on Top Of The Pops, a celestial voice who helped bridge Irish folk music into an electronic realm in a way that I still think deserves a proper reappraisal today. Blasting Clannad today, as should u

Something to listen on this soggy Easter Sunday?

Anois, Os Ard is back, just in time for yr long weekend. Wrote about dreamestate indie-pop, folk-horror soundscapes, notes on becoming and the apocalypse, ‘90s internet star ambience, a breakthrough rap masterclass, some drone stuff, some club stuff, all sorts! open.substack.com/pub/anoisosa...

A pleasure and privilege to work with one of my favourite profile writers to commission, Michael McKinney, on something a little different for us at DJ. He spoke to several DJs and collectives where he lives in Minneapolis about how the DIY scene there is standing up against ICE in recent months

the question on everyone's lips today

Had a really nice time interviewing one of my actual heroes a little while ago djmag.com/features/tim...

Have said this before in other forms, but will reiterate it here: if you're doing long-form writing of any sort, reading the words aloud into a microphone is a completely unparalleled cheat code. It's free, easy, and so effective it feels like it shouldn't be allowed. I do it in a few stages...

You can listen to Pepe Bradock's 'Deep Burnt' whenever you want you know www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTvF...

Played for the final time at Corsica Studios. The recording is now online. soundcloud.com/midland/the-...

Incredible gig. Cried a bit! Sound is great in Koko but jesus christ, place had the most chronic case of Men Yapping at the back I'd encountered in a long while. Not to mention the £8 pint!

Seeing Caroline tonight in the same venue I went to on my first ever trip to London almost exactly 12 years ago to the day, and which I haven't been to since. With the same pal and all. As if I needed any more reasons to get emotional listening to this record. caroline.bandcamp.com/album/caroli...

Been listening to the Friendship album these past few weeks and, holy moly, this two track combo really did me in on the commute this morning

In Spoons before the doom show listening to Christoph De Babalon. Happy Valentine’s Day youtu.be/m0JsBWACf6c?...

Many of my followers will know this, but here’s a top tip in case you’re interested to know more about the weirder side of the Irish music scene then you should be following @eoin-murray.bsky.social ‘s Anois, Os Ard Substack

It’s Valentine’s Day, which means it’s been two years since Caroline Polachek covered one of the best Irish pop songs of all time 🍓 I spoke to Polachek, Roger Doyle, Elena López all about its history and surprising second life. Still very proud of it. anoisosard.substack.com/p/spring-is-...

Happy new KMRU day to all observing ✨ kmru.bandcamp.com/album/kin

Recognise 098: Nono Gigsta 🐊 The Berlin-via-Marseilles DJ shares a genre-warping recording of her set from Dripping 2025, conjuring the storm she faced while crossing the Atlantic by boat to get there, and the life-affirming poem she recited while pacing its deck djmag.com/features/rec...

Getting torn to shreds by how lovely this is today elorisaxl.bandcamp.com/album/seeing...

Absolutley hook line and sinkered on the perfectly named "Dream Tool Roller" by Mana Dealer discovered via @eoin-murray.bsky.social's substack and if you're not already on that why not? Well? driftritual.bandcamp.com

The Anois, Os Ard New Irish Music round-up is back 🌥️ Weighing up hyped releases by Dove Ellis and Madra Salach, along with drones and dream-pop remixes, a batshit noise comp, a double bill from Eamon Ivri, a few psych folk EPs. Plus, a lost gem from 2016. anoisosard.substack.com/p/new-irish-...

My tiny gripe of the month is DJs/artists/whoever putting full stops at the end of their names.

“The tide is turning. People are mobilising, and many of them want to do more than just making symbolic gestures” Exploring the evolution of Palestinian solidarity in electronic music — where it's made a difference, where it's fallen short, and where it goes from here djmag.com/features/sha...

“I combine these sounds to tell the story of Gaza: tense and dark, but always with a trace of hope." Six Palestinian electronic artists and DJs on how their artistic practice has been reshaped by genocide and occupation, and how they are resisting narratives of victimhood djmag.com/features/bey...

Two big features on DJ Mag today First, Shams Hanieh speaks to electronic musicians and DJs in Gaza and the West Bank about maintaining their art in the face of genocide and occupation, and their desire to resist simple narratives of victimhood djmag.com/features/bey...

If you’d have told the dance music journalists of 2016 that ten years later Skrillex would be playing Dekmantel and Ben UFO would be playing Tomorrowland their heads would have fully burst and that’s quite fun I think

Who's got that Wah Wah Wino 2025 releases digi files hook up 👀 Partly for journalism reasons, but mostly just because I'm desperate

While I mull over whether to do an AOA End Of Year list or not, why not dive into this fresh batch of Irish releases? Multi-genre electronics and psych stuff; Connemara goth rock; sophisti-pop and alt-folk; many shades of ambient and club material. Tuck in! substack.com/home/post/p-...

There's no hiding from the highly perceptive analysis of @eoin-murray.bsky.social - absolutely love this review! 🙏 Included in the latest (huge) edition of Anois Os Ard: anoisosard.substack.com/p/new-irish-...
