HAAi & Jon Hopkins
Second of the ‘songs I’d love to hear at a festival if I could afford to go/get a ticket’ bangers is this newly released tune by HAAi featuring Jon Hopkins – total bliss pop banger, and the beats sound very much like Jon’ Hopkin’s older euphoric dreamy style which is Not A Bad Thing since…

Mark Hadley – Walking Simulator
A beautiful new album from Mark, chilled out ambience and IDM, location recordings mixed with computer work and choirs, you get a real sense of place with this.

Everyone’s talking at me…about The New Normal, which apparently is like New Coca Corona, i.e like the old one but with all the nice things taken out. Apparently we are in a new future, one that seems to be cribbing the lyrics to East 17 songs…Stay now…stay now…stay now…and government mixed message memes with laughable…
