Magazine Sixty Music Review with Scartip
Greg Fenton reviews Scartip – CRATE DUTY – Hypercolour Records Does everything have to make complete and obvious sense all of the time? Or can we allow for error or mystery?

Magazine Sixty Music Review with Hilit Kolet & The Illustrious Blacks
Greg Fenton reviews Hilit Kolet & The Illustrious Blacks – Transatlantic Kiki EP – Rekids Two records reviewed in a week eliciting the tribal/techno fever reaching out from the late nineties. Just don’t say it’s a revival. The last thing we need right now is yet more flaccid nostalgia as Rome burns. This record is…

Magazine Sixty Music Review with Agosta
Greg Fenton reviews Agosta – For Today feat. Chiara Castello – Space Echo Records Not so much dipped in nostalgia but drenched in the echo of dreamy west-coast sunshine of shimmering guitars, reclining percussion and Chiara Castello’s heart-warming voice. As keys change, so does the impression of uplifting possibilities while movement passes effortlessly by in…
