Raving Forever
First up: this man believes in “working with electronic music”, doesn’t queue to get in to Berghain and is an all round party legend: https://www.facebook.com/VICE/videos/1801295523260412/

Next, massive congratulations to Wolf Alice for winning The Mercury Music Prize 2018! My top 3 winning albums in no particular order are: Arctic Monkeys Whatever People Say I am, That’s What I’m Not, Skepta - Konnichiwa and The xx - xx.

Eminem vs MGK
I’d like to thank Machine Gun Kelly for awakening the side of Eminem that we all surely want to hear? Many columns are full of debate on the recent back and forth between the two artists so I’d like to share this parody instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2aU9zoH1lA
More Kanye West News

Dance Music Documentary
Finally, I have been very much enjoying re-watching “The Agony & The Ecstasy” this week. Fantastic 3 part documentary on the history of dance music culture here in the UK. With contributions from: Goldie, Fabio & Grooverider, Sasha, Dave Pearce and many more - highly recommended viewing. Goes way back to The Ibiza 4, Spiral Tribe, Turntablism in the 70′s through to Superstar DJ’s of today who have repackaged house music as EDM and “sold it back to the USA”, excellent soundtrack too.
