Glastonbury founder Michael Eavis has voiced his support for upcoming new festival Strummer of Love , which supports music charity Strummerville. Eavis states: "I got to know Joe in the last years of his life, and his support in our unpopular campaign to control the numbers here in 2002 was invaluable to me. It's good to know that the spirit of Strummerville will still be alive in our part of the world, especially in our year off." Michael Eavis has incorporated parts of Strummerville into Glastonbury for years, one being the campfire, and these ideals will also be incorporated into ...

Today would have been Biggie Smalls’ 40th birthday, and to celebrate the Village Voice has a piece written by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Chick Philips, the investigative reporter who was blacklisted from the Los Angeles Times for his 2008 story on the deaths of Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G. It’s a fascinating read. Four years ago, I published an account of this critical 1994 Manhattan ambush, in which Pac was nearly killed. The entertainer was shot, punched, kicked and pistol-whipped by unknown assailants as he entered the Quad Recording Studios to which Henchman had invited him. The attackers ...

Probably the closest recording to capture the feeling of seeing Ty live, and while it shaves a few of the sharper pop edges off his work, it makes for a damn fun listen. Those of you not ...

German duo JTRP has always straddled the line between functional, eyes-down house music that works the midnight shift and an experimental, almost-psychedelic sound that creeps into the back of one's thoughts whilst in the dance. "Apparition" is a new tune out soon on Synesthesia 2 , the second edition of Senseless' series of artist showcases. Both veterans of the Cologne scene, the men of JTRP work a malleable style here, filtering in elements of B-more club music, UK funky, and South African kwaito to alternatingly meditative and delirious effect. Surging bass swells supplant glassy, powder-washed pads that ooze high-end clarity ...
