Man, whoever managed syncs on brassic is the goat, a great show elevated by the soundtrack to something really special, kind of like the first few seasons of sopranos were

lol brit awards song of the year category quite literally looks like my unintelligent dance music playlist

Really all the intro you need is this sick mv

Ankobo + Kaboo: not really a discovery, but still - mixing electronics all throughout the spectrum, from transe to dnb, with the band’s Russo-African roots (and a violin). Makes for a very sensual cocktail

Kugo-Yeya: the guys have been defo listening to Jojo Mayer, then added some kraut and ethnic stuff in the mix. Personally a huge sucker this type of music that just builds and build and builds. The guy spazing in out the front row is not a part of the band, though he should be
