The breakdown drops out to nothing but a hi-hat and a single filtered chord for a full sixteen bars, and by the time the kick punches back in you’d follow it anywhere. Denis Sulta has always made house with a grin on it, that Glasgow party-starter energy that treats the dancefloor as the only serious subject in the world. “Push The Tempo” with Capri is exactly that: bouncy, a little cheeky, a vocal shouting the title like a dare. The extended mix earns its length by taking its time, letting the groove ride before it starts stacking elements on top. This is Friday-crowd house, made to be shouted along to rather than analysed. The bassline has a rubbery bounce that does most of the emotional lifting here, if a track this fun can be said to have emotional lifting to do. I’d drop it at the exact moment a party...

Bipartisan Handshake
Read more . . . →Reached across the aisle. The aisle was a mirror. An oil painting of a man shaking hands with his own reflection, hung in the kind of marble hallway where nothing useful has happened in decades. The flag tie and the gilt frame tell you everything about who paid for the mirror. He ran on bipartisanship and found the one partner who never pushes back. Somewhere a constituent is on hold while their representative closes the most productive meeting of his career. The handshake looks firm. He’s had practice.

Albi - Dancing With Your Ghost
Read more . . . →Does the world need another dance remake of a sad pop song? Probably not, and yet here I am with “Dancing With Your Ghost” wedged in my head against my wishes. Albi takes the melody everyone half-remembers from a hundred TikToks and builds a clean, festival-ready dance track around it, and on the drive home it did the job. The drop is bright and uncomplicated, the vocal chopped into the hook you already know, the whole thing engineered for a summer crowd to sing back. There’s nothing here you haven’t heard before, and the mix is buffed to such a high shine that there’s barely room left for any character. It’s a competent, radio-shaped piece of dance-pop that will do exactly what it was designed to do at a festival and not one thing more. It’s the kind of remake that exists because a label clocked a trending vocal and...

Acyan & IKU - ONE TWO
Read more . . . →The vocal chops the phrase “one, two” into a percussion instrument, firing it across the beat like a snare fill, and by the drop it’s stopped being words at all. Acyan and IKU turn in a hybrid trap cut on Trap Nation that finds the sweet spot between festival trap and something meaner and more experimental. The first drop is fairly standard hard-trap fare, big 808 slides and a screamed vocal, but the second one is where it gets interesting, warping the whole rhythm into a stuttering, half-time crawl that changes the entire complexion of the track. The bass design is genuinely gnarly, all metallic clang and distortion, sitting closer to riddim than the usual trap gloss. Trap as a festival genre has felt a bit stuck for a while, coasting on the same handful of 808 tricks, and it’s nice to hear producers actually shove the sound somewhere weirder....

Unglued, TJB & Esther Durin - Heaven
Read more . . . →This is the good kind of pretty. Unglued and TJB team up with vocalist Esther Durin for Heaven, and it’s melodic drum and bass that earns the emotion instead of just gesturing at it with a big pad and a key change. Durin’s voice is the whole thing here, doubled and layered until it feels like a choir of one person, and when the drums finally sprint underneath her the effect is genuinely lifting. Melodic DnB is a minefield of the same three chords and the same yearning vocal doing the same thing, and most of it washes over me without leaving a mark. This one stuck. Part of it is the drum programming, which has a snap and a swing that a lot of these liquid tracks forget to include while they’re busy being emotional. Part of it is that Durin sells the topline like she means it rather...

Your Insecurity Is a Revenue Stream
Read more . . . →The manosphere isn’t a movement. It’s a mall. A multibillion-dollar shopping center for men who got told they were broken and then got sold the fix. Supplements, coaching programs, crypto schemes, looksmaxxing “academies” charging three grand to teach you how to hold eye contact — the whole operation runs on one insight: male insecurity, when packaged correctly, is the most dependable revenue stream on the internet. Every influencer in the space figured out the same business model at the same time. Tell young men the world hates them, then charge $49/month for the antidote. The supplements alone are projected to clear $2 billion this year. Two billion dollars in pills that do roughly what eating a vegetable would do for free. But vegetables don’t come with a community Discord and a parasocial relationship with a guy who got rich telling you women are the problem. The algorithm finds you when...
