Vinyls I bought recently

"my fav thing about vinyl is that it's a non-digital method of enjoying music, allowing me to disassociate from my devices while I study, have a bath, daydream and enjoy a soft lifestyle"

‘Fashion meets Music’ by Liam Madden via Behance. Currents by Tame Impala How can I not start on one of my favourite albums of all time? For my brother’s recent birthday I bought him a jet black and gold vinyl record player, and what followed were very exciting updates from him about his purchases… He was buying classics left and right!

“If you’re not open to being vulnerable and sharing your feelings, you’ll never be able to connect with people”: An interview with Abi Hudson Nothing compares to the relentless ferocity of vulnerability.

“It’s all about personal experience”: an interview with Rebecca Jayne

photograph of Rebecca Jayne by S. Creating poetic lyrics about heartbreak, growth and disillusionment based purely on one’s life experiences is a unique ability afforded only to the most earnest songwriters of this planet.

“It’s all about imperfections”: An interview + exclusive mixtape with Lukan Lukan doesn't wait for chances. His roots are in his small Indian hometown of Lucknow, but its size and relative ambiguity weren't disadvantages - instead, it was a literal realisation of the luck in the now, which led him to draw inspiration from his surroundings.

Valentine’s Day: a Compilation

valentine's day - a compilation of books + films + more dedicated to the day of love

How did a day dedicated to the celebration of love become so hated? Granted – after running the annual marathon of rubbish rom-com movie releases and love-saturated radio repeats, it can be pretty tiring to arrive at the 14th of February only to discover that you’re expected to think about love again. Even Cupid couldn’t cure that lack of love-sickness. But don’t worry! This Saint Valentine’s,…

“Keep trying, and never underestimate your abilities”: An Interview with Burt Cope

  Photo credit: Milly Cope Burt Cope is a 16 year-old DJ from Oxford, who’s dance tunes can make you “party or feel chill as fuck” – as quoted from his SoundCloud bio. With his musical genes (his dad and uncle were members of 90s brit-pop band The Candyskins) and his skills on the deck (ie his computer mixing software), it’s unsurprising that Burt has already got his tracks played on BBC Radio…
