Magazine Sixty Music Review with Carrier
Greg Fenton reviews Carrier – Rhythm Immortal – Modern Love Sounding like a glimpse of the future while the past crumbles, Carrier’s personal statements of intent explore the edges of time and space with a dignity and fierceness that are seemingly rare nowadays. I wouldn’t bother trying to categorise the music, as it forms shapes…

Magazine Sixty Music Review with Arnault Hardy
Greg Fenton reviews Arnault Hardy – One After Another – La Société Anonyme de Musique et de Sons Sometimes music is quite simply about joy and celebrating things.

Magazine Sixty Music Review with Don Philippe
Greg Fenton review Don Philippe – velvet breaks – Sonar Kollektiv A world of mystery awaits, populated by smouldering, shadowy figures employing emotion to reignite a decaying past, or so it might seem at first glance.

Magazine Sixty Music Review with N808
Greg Fenton reviews N808 – The Ocho – Dirtybird You could say Buckle Up is genius, or ingenious. It delivers a twisted, crazed narrative of slinky beats, enhanced stereophonic repertoire, alongside the kind of sleazily intended music that gets pulses racing. n808 & Mike Kerrigan’s creation is tempting and deeply satisfying, as its restraint is…
