  • When you activate Play it could mean any number of things when it comes to hearing Brian Eno. Gathered from this his more reflective palate, collating pieces from installations between 1986 to the present day, here it is about the sense of movement. Of time not standing perfectly still as seemingly familiar patterns of sound

  • Welcome to Magazine Sixty, Bobby. Can you start by telling us about why you felt there needed to be a label such as Needs – not for profit, in the world today? And can you tell us about your personal philosophy for life and music? When I conceptualised Needs it was around the time of

  • P.Leone Q&A

    Hello and welcome to Magazine Sixty, P.Leone. Your new release for Rekids Special Projects: Chances We Take EP features four very hot tracks.

  • Mike Kiraly’s brilliantly messed-up production is all at once inescapably funky yet defiantly probing, pushing forward House while also qualifying as an excellent, creative piece of music.

The questions then continue to be posed as Clubs or Discotheques follows with taught drums, sparse yet resounding stabs and occasional voices

  • If music is all about sharing emotion, from whatever source, then James Teej’s latest for Freerange is a clear-cut case of tens across the board. Obviously referencing House Music’s past via the infectious use of samples which are cut-up and reprogrammed into something else altogether, it is so worth the wait as the eventual rush
