Name your classic tunage of all time ... 1990 - 1995 ONLY. Mine has to be "Dont You Want Me" by Felix (not da housecat cunt, the Essex 'Loft' Boy.) Although I am unimpressed by the countless amounts of shit remixes that followed.

“Phones have been a blessing and a curse in my DJing life,” ponders Fat Tony when asked about smartphone use on the dancefloor. “Clubbing is all about energy and connection to the music, and while capturing that matters, the reality is that screens take us out of the moment.” Now, the iconic British selector thinks he’s found a remedy that will protect the very foundations of dance culture: wearable tech. “They give people freedom to experience the night while keeping the memories alive,” he says, having recently partnered with Ray-Ban to promote the Meta Gen 2 Glasses (as did popstar-rapper Doja Cat, who wore a pair in a backstage tour video posted to her Instagram)...

If you were given an unconditional amount of money every month, what would you do? For Irish musicians who took part in the country’s Basic Income for the Arts (BIA) pilot program, the answer was simple: they made more music. 22 per cent more music, to be exact. That was just one of many striking outcomes from the three-year pilot scheme, which offered a guaranteed income of €325 per week to 2,000 creative sector workers. Throughout the process, participants reported positive impacts on their mental health, career sustainability, and creative output. So successful was this program that the scheme has now been made permanent by the Irish government... The post Ireland has …

Following its ’90s Walkman-inspired Snowsky Retro Nano launched last year, FiiO has just launched its latest retro music player. This time, the company has consulted the Noughties for some inspiration – and the result is the Snowsky Disc. Think of it like a meeting point between Apple’s iPod Nano and iPod Shuffle; the Snowsky Disc is a minimalist device that focuses on what matters: the music. Unlike smartphones, which are often bloated with apps and other distractions, the Snowsky Disc is entirely dedicated to your favourite tracks and albums, with a massive 2TB of potential MicroSD storage...

Anna’s Archive, the open source search engine for shadow libraries, has announced it has effectively “backed up Spotify” – archiving hundreds of millions of tracks’ worth of metadata and audio files, and distributing the whole thing via torrents. Best known for preserving books and academic papers, the group says it scraped metadata for around 256 million tracks and audio files for roughly 86 million songs. By its own estimate, that accounts for about 99.6 percent of all listens on Spotify, bundled into a dataset weighing just under 300TB and sorted by ‘popularity’...

Universal Music Group (UMG) has partnered with music production platform Splice to jointly explore the “next generation of AI-powered music creation tools for musical artists”. Under the new partnership, UMG and Splice will develop “commercial AI tools” and “AI-powered virtual instruments” that are rooted in creative control, sonic excellence and respect for intellectual property. The agreement also builds on Splice’s expanding suite of AI-enabled tools – including Create – which already sit inside many producers’ day-to-day workflows...

Few conversations have dominated the music industry this year quite like artificial intelligence. Sure, the increasing prevalence of AI artists like the Velvet Sundown – powered by AI platforms like Suno – is a cause for concern, but should we really be that worried? AI sceptics have voiced concerns over the increasing number of AI artists on streaming platforms like Spotify, and how they may be diminishing the reach of real human artists. There are also concerns over whether copyright laws are being bypassed by some of the biggest AI companies in order to train their models. But not everyone is all that concerned. Kevin Parker of Tame Impala, for example, says he’s “not …

Detroit techno documentary God Said Give ‘Em Drum Machines is now streaming for free. We watch the doc and lament the fact that so many people still think techno is a European creation. In 1995, I had a radio show on KZSU, the station connected to Stanford University. From midnight to 3 am on Sunday nights (or Monday mornings, depending on your point of view), I played all manner of electronic music, from techno to IDM to jungle, usually finishing up with an hour of ambient. I called the show No UFOs after the Model 500 song because it was important to me as an American to highlight the fact that techno began in the States, and in Detroit specifically. The jury may stil…
