Bill Callahan at Union Stage in DC

11 May 2026 Bill Callahan played Union Stage last Monday in Washington, DC in support of his excellent album My Days of 58, and kept the sold-out crowd enraptured for nearly two hours, as he showcased songs from his new record, as well as choice cuts from his storied discography, including three classic Smog tracks. I’ve been a huge fan of Bill Callahan for a long time now and consider him one…

photo cred IG: @krug.visuals 7 May 2023 Yves Tumor finally brought the freak to Montreal and played to a sold out crowd at Metropolis on Sunday night (I will forever feel weird calling it MTELUS). I had tickets to see Yves in April 2020 and was super bummed when the early days of the pandemic shut it down. Slow forward three years, two albums later, et voilà, finalement, Yves en spectacle à la…

For the long-awaited third installment of INAUDIBLE’S Young Producers feature we head way north to Russia to rep an artist recording under the super cool moniker Art Crime. In terms of biographical detail, pretty much all we have to go on with Art Crime is the bio from his WT Records debut, which identifies him as a “Russian producer based in Moscow that offers a full range of musical emotions…

YP#2 – Route 8

Singlehandedly putting Budapest on the techno map, Gergely Szilveszter Horváth, who signs his productions as Route 8, creates spacey house and techno music that taps into a strong sense of nostalgia. Most of his jams are of the eyes closed, head bobbin’, foot tappin’ variety and play out just as well on the dancefloor as they do on the couch, even if his vibe is decidedly chill. Horváth’s first…

APHEX TWIN - SURFING ON SOUNDCLOUDS

It was a quiet decade for Richard D. James in the years leading up to the release of SYRO last year, his first real album under the Aphex Twin moniker since 2001. Sure there was some awesome Analord records and (probable) releases as The Tuss, but nothing as formative and influential and moving as his earlier work on Warp Records.

And by then a whole legion of biters and imitators, armed with…
