Issa Bagayogo - Kouloun

Where the horns at?

I feel like the search for another spottieottiedopaliscious-level horn line will be ongoing for the rest of my life. This is a particularly smooooth little stretch of that journey.

Call me on my trapline

A bit of cheese in there, but this mixtape is easy listening.

CARLA DAL FORNO

Who is this girl? Is that a Coles green bag on the cover of this EP? This isn't anything new, but I'll love the haunting/saucy vibe forevs. Can't find the B side anywhere, but I guess it's not released till the 29th so maybe then.

Road trip anyone?

The comp that goes with this movie is well worth tracking down. Credit goes to BT.

This is fucked. up.

Every Noise Genre Map

Horse sent this to me last night because he was sick of me wrongly assigning genres to bands. It has already been really helpful in getting my head around the differences between all of the (11) black metals.

As an aside, mostly for Boss, I'm not sure how this was generated (seems to be linked to Spotify in some way?) but this also floats my boat in terms of its potential for amazing data viz. It's okay at present (purely algorithm based on the qualities of the sound of songs with particular tags, I think) but it would be amazing if they could overlay with info about how the genres relate to each other in terms of historical progression, etc.

PS: New Thugga, SS3. Better than I'm Up. On the outer reaches of trap music, according to the genre map. Love him.
