Event Preview: Noga Ritter Quartet feat. Bjorn Wray-Gough @ Toulouse Lautrec Jazz Club (London; Friday, 20th June 2025)

London-based singer and composer Noga Ritter returns to the stage on Friday 20 June with a special live performance at the Toulouse Lautrec Jazz Club. The concert marks her first UK date following a three-month trip to Brazil, where she toured and recorded new material.

Interview: Q&A with Françoise Lamy, Sonic Wave – Decentralising Live Music, One Gig at a Time (June 2025)

Suffolk’s Waveney Valley may be best known for its rolling landscapes, historic market towns and coastal quiet, but a bold new music series is bringing fresh sounds to its rural heartlands. Launching in June 2025 and running until autumn 2026, Sonic Wave is a forward-thinking programme of live events set across two key venues—The Cut in Halesworth and The Fisher Theatre in Bungay—showcasing a rich spectrum of genre-defying music. From global folk fusions and cinematic electronica to Afro-jazz, activist glitch […]...

Event Review: Cross The Tracks @ Brockwell Park (London; Sunday, 25th May 2025)

The sixth iteration of Cross The Tracks was a soaring spectacle that united genre-blending stalwarts with rising stars of soul, funk, and jazz.

California outfit The Sinseers treated a jovial pocket of early arrivers to soul-tinged reggae, combining falsetto, whistles, and brooding baritone […]...

Album Review: Femi Kuti – Journey Through Life [Partisan; April 2025]

The cover of Femi Kuti’s excellent new album Journey Through Life is a collage assembled from photos of Femi, his family, and his steadfast band, The Positive Force. A reflective record, and his first self-produced (a success), it’s personal and political, fiery and fatherly, having been written and recorded while Femi’s daughter faced health problems. Fittingly recorded at the family’s own Legacy Plus Studios, Journey Through Life stays true to the afrobeat blueprint of Femi’s father, but whereas Fela’s tunes […]...

Interview: Yugen Blakrok – The Art of Becoming (April 2025)

Marseille was restless that evening. A storm had rolled in over the Mediterranean; the kind of late-winter weather that barrels through the heart of the city in gusts of wind and sideways rain, sending flyers skittering down Le Panier’s narrow alleys and rattling its shutters. A few kilometres away, at Dock des Suds, Babel Music XP was making final preparations for the second night of showcases. The tempest outside only amplified the energy within, where global rhythms met local defiance […]...
