‘When I was hit by a motorbike… I knew it was over…’

Careening through 850+ releases, from chaotic sound collage work to their eight-and-a-half-hour magnum opus, named LUX, we find out how Octa Mobius Sheffner’s career came to its end, who they think is winning the current musical ‘arms race’ and watching the Western culture eat itself from 6,000 miles away.

(This edition also comes with an exclusive cassette release of Octa’s EP Rules + cloth-. This breathtaking post-industrial journey, limited to 30 cassettes, is a rare opportunity to experience Octa’s music in physical form.)

‘Sex on a tarp in an empty house…’

We catch up with Will Wiesenfield to find out more about the alias Baths, the new album Gut and how it’s even more shamelessly honest than everything that has come before it. After which we head to Corsica to watch him dodge theatrically between venue-rattling beats and snares.

‘Welsh, queer, music maker’

A mainstay of the online music scene sadly passed away this year. Alan Morse Davies was a friend to many and a collaborator of a lucky few. We give space to those who knew him to remember, in hopes that more will appreciate his impact.

‘I think it could be cool and bad in a funny way!’

The aficionado of ambient balladry, Lucy Liyou, provides an insight into the music behind her truly unique sound.

This edition also features analysis of the biggest releases from the past month and reviews of hidden gems, including from Ninajirachi, Twin Galaxxies and Briana Marela.
