While diving further into reggae and dub, I interviewed @DubMaestro for @TheQuietus. Here, Mr Bovell MBE comments on some of the most remarkable and earwormy tracks written and/or produced by him, including the most recent Sufferer Sounds compilation.

Went to see @Efterklang at @BarbicanCentre last Saturday and reviewed the show for @Under_Radar_Mag. I also looked at their stunning album "Things We Have In Common" a month earlier (you can find my four-star review in the latest issue of Record Collector).

Today is the release day of Distant Call, the final offering from Broadcast. It is out on Trish Keenan's birthday.

[Irina Shtreis @IrinaShtreis]

Almost Wing Chun (very subtle though). Things We Have In Common by @Efterklang is out today. I reviewed this album for Record Collector. You can find what I said about it in the latest issue of the magazine.

[Irina Shtreis @IrinaShtreis]

Poignant yet with a glimpse of hope. Brilliant compilation Distant Call is what they call the last word on Broadcast (@WarpRecords). Nevertheless, the music and all beyond it will remain. Here is what I wrote about it for @theQuietus. https://t.co/MouyGXzhYl
