Poilievre Blew a 20-Point Lead, Then Called His Best People Liberals
Read more . . . →At the Calgary Stampede this month, Pierre Poilievre stood up and celebrated a BC Conservative leadership win over what he called “Liberal lobbyists from out East.” The men he was sneering at weren’t Liberals. Kory Teneycke ran Doug Ford’s campaigns and worked for Stephen Harper. Nick Kouvalis and Anthony Koch have spent years electing Conservatives. Their actual crime was telling Poilievre the truth last spring: that Trump’s trade war, not Justin Trudeau, was the thing that would decide the 2025 election. He didn’t want to hear it. He blew a lead of more than twenty points, finished with 144 seats,...

Photek - 30 Seconds Out
Read more . . . →Photek disappearing for years and then dropping something this surgical is exactly on brand for a man who once made drum and bass sound like a sniper cleaning his rifle. “30 Seconds Out” is all tension and negative space. The drums are mixed so dry and so precise you could count the individual hits, and there’s a stretch around 1:40 where he pulls almost everything out except a single tom pattern and lets it hang there long enough to make you nervous. Nobody builds pressure like this anymore. The whole scene got louder and busier while he was gone, and...

Vicetone - Nevada (Dubstep Remix)
Read more . . . →Somebody took Vicetone’s “Nevada,” a track that soundtracked roughly nine thousand gaming montages back in 2016, and dragged it into a dark alley. This dubstep flip keeps Cozi Zuehlsdorff’s vocal mostly intact through the verse and then obliterates the drop, swapping the original’s shiny festival lift for a filthy half-time wobble. It shouldn’t work — the source is pure sunshine and the remix is pure grime — and yet the contrast is exactly why it does. Hearing that innocent topline lead straight into a bassline this rude is legitimately funny the first time through. The remixer resists the urge to...

This Week on coldplaysucks — July 12–19
Read more . . . →Thirty-seven tracks went up and the through-line was hard to miss: this was veterans week. Dubstep and bass technically posted the most, but the ones that stuck were old hands doing exactly what they’ve always done, sharper than the field. Photek reappeared out of nowhere, Fred V rang up Ayah Marar, AC Slater dug a rave relic out of the ground — and somewhere under all that, Seven Lions quietly posted twice and nobody blinked. Track of the Week Photek - 30 Seconds Out Photek disappears for years at a stretch and comes back sounding like a sniper cleaning his...

They're Spreading the Tariff Out So You Won't Notice Who Did It
Read more . . . →The New York Fed just published the part of the tariff story nobody at a podium will read aloud. Ask companies what they’re doing with the bill and 47% of service firms and 44% of manufacturers say the same thing: raising prices, with more to come. But the word that matters in that report isn’t “raising.” It’s how. The Fed calls it “trickle up” — you don’t jack the price all at once, because a jump big enough to notice is a jump big enough to get blamed on. You leak it in. A little on this order, a little...

Tokyo Project & BB Cooper - Silhouette
Read more . . . →The vocal on “Silhouette” comes in almost whispered, so close to the mic you can hear the breath between lines, and that intimacy is what the whole track hangs on. Tokyo Project and BB Cooper have made one of those indie-electronic songs that sounds enormous and lonely at the same time, with big reverby drums, a shimmering synth lead, and a hook that plants itself in your head by the second chorus. CloudKid has quietly become the home for exactly this sound, the melancholy-but-danceable lane, and this is a strong example of why. There’s a drop around 1:50 that trades...

Surf Mesa & Stace Cadet - The Moment (Sunset Mix)
Read more . . . →Surf Mesa has spent his whole career trying to recapture the lightning of “ily,” and “The Moment” is the first time it doesn’t sound like a man chasing his own shadow. Teaming up with Stace Cadet drags him toward a housier, bouncier lane, and the Sunset Mix leans on a warm plucked bassline that practically skips. It’s golden-hour music in the most literal sense — the kind of track that makes a fairly ordinary evening feel briefly cinematic. There’s a filtered breakdown around 2:10 where the drums drop out and one lonely vocal chop just floats, and it’s the closest...
