Mersiv on New MorFlo Compilation, Working with Manic Focus, SummerEyes Festival [Q&A]
Amidst global struggle, music and creativity are among the most available outlets we have to escape reality. Today, MorFlo Records has released its new compilation, Dreamscape, which offers up a series of powerful tracks that will transport listeners when they need it most. Founded in 2017, MorFlo records is a grassroots label and event family driven by beats and flow. The collective promotes artists of all backgrounds and channels their talent into a fluid, immersive musical environment.

Sonny Fodera and Dom Dolla Impress Yet Again on Intoxicating New Single “Moving Blind”
Earlier this year, Sonny Fodera and Dom Dolla let us know they were cooking up their first collaboration. After wrapping up their wildly popular sold-out tour and having a few months to put in some work at home, they’ve finally dropped their gem “Moving Blind.” “Moving Blind” has us longing for the dancefloor, as this addictive tech house smash was made to fill a room. The pair expertly capture the listener’s attention by playing into their areas of expertise. Quickly working in a minimalistic beat made up of subdued kicks, they then add two vocal samples that battle back and forth as well as crunchy synth stabs to keep things unpredictable. This shining moment in their discography is comparable to Sonny’s masterful collaboration w...

Step Inside the Rave Family Block Fest: The Most Ambitious Digital Music Festival to Date [FIRST LOOK]
With each passing weekend, social media memories wistfully remind us of the music festivals we’re missing out on due to the ongoing global health crisis. Without concerts, nearly everyone in the music industry is struggling to make ends meet. Many artists, promoters, and organizations are thinking outside the box to give fans a way to experience live music once again and to help artists recoup some missing revenue. We’ve seen dozens of livestreamed festivals, drive-in concert tours, and special recorded performances from unique places. Thinking outside the box, or should we say block, is Rave Family with the introduction of their new music experience, Rave Family Block Fest. Next month, concertgoers will log into the world of Minecraft for a musical experience beyond the scope of anything ...
DVRKO Returns with Anthemic Future Bass Bop “Lights Up”
Enigmatic electronic producer DVRKO has stepped out of the shadows for his sophomore release, the soaring future bass jam “Lights Up.” With its poignant lyrical elements and anthemic sound design, “Lights Up” offers a beautiful dance pop tune while reinforcing the halo of mystery surrounding DVRKO. The track’s top-line serves not as a wistful reminder of love lost, but as a buoyant reminder about redemption. DVRKO employs melancholic guitar plucks and spacey soundscapes throughout the lush arrangement, which ultimately culminates in a euphoric drop featuring warm future bass saws and soaring falsettos. “Lights Up” follows the anonymous artist’s debut release back in May 2020, “This Is How,” a sultry house tune featuring Sarah de W...

Rammstein Drummer’s Early East German Band Had Two Government Spies in Its Lineup
Drummer Christoph “Doom” Schneider was an active member of the East Berlin music scene prior to the formation of Rammstein in 1994. In the ’80s, he was the drummer of new wave act Die Firma (The Firm), and it turns out he had two government spies in his band. When asked by Metal Hammer about playing music prior to the take down of the Berlin Wall in 1989, Schneider recounted his time in Die Firma. The band’s music had dark goth influences, indicative of his latter work with Rammstein, featuring protest lyrics that were poignant, if incriminating, given who might be listening or in the case of Die Firma, literally singing them. “Die Firma was like a new wave punk band,” Schneider said. “The style was a little dark, with gothic influences. We had lyrics that protested against the system...
Bill Callahan Releases Gentle New Song “Pigeons”: Stream
This September, Bill Callahan will drop a new album titled Gold Record. The esteemed folk songwriter is teasing the project today with the first single and opening track, “Pigeons”. Set in the heart of Texas, the gentle tune sees Callahan reflecting on marriage from the perspective of a limo driver who often shuttles around newly hitched couples. “Well the pigeons ate the wedding rice and exploded somewhere over San Antonio,” he sings. “I picked up the newlyweds and asked them where they wanted to go/ They said, ‘We don’t know, we don’t care, anywhere… just go.’” Ride along by streaming it below. Editors’ Picks Gold Record, the follow-up to his solid Shepherd in a Sheepskin Vest from 2019, officially arrives September 4th through longtime label Drag City. As promised, Call...
Activists Call for John Lennon’s “Imagine” to Replace US National Anthem
“The Star-Spangled Banner” doesn’t seem that racist, as long as you skip the later verses and ignore the white supremacist who wrote it. Taking those aspects into account, however, some activists are calling for America to find a new national anthem, and one popular proposal has put forth John Lennon’s “Imagine”. “But wait,” you may be saying. “I’ve sung ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ for years, and I’m not racist. Besides, those patriotic high notes really make my rocket glare.” And it’s true, the one verse that we trot out at sporting events is merely unsettlingly violent, rather than outwardly prejudiced. If that’s the only part of Francis Scott Key’s 1814 poem that you’re familiar with, then the history behind the third verse will be a bit of a shocker. In the offending passage, Francis Sc...
Simon Pegg Tells Black Lives Matter Haters to “Shut the Fuck Up”
This past month has been filled with Black Lives Matter marches and protests against police brutality that have gained massive support as well as ignorant criticisms. In a new interview, Shaun of the Dead actor Simon Pegg made his position abundantly clear, saying that he supports Black Lives Matter and that anyone complaining about them “should just shut the fuck up.” In an interview with The Observer, Pegg shed some light on the diversity initiatives being undertaken by Stolen Pictures, the production company he co-founded with Nick Frost. Pegg spoke about the changes coming to Stolen Pictures — particularly how he’s been scheduling meetings to better connect Black actors, writers, and directors to the resources and opportunities they need — and why he’s fed up with h...
Pearl Jam Honors the Nine Fans Killed at 2000 Roskilde Festival
Pearl Jam honored the nine lives that were lost on the 20th anniversary of the Roskilde Festival tragedy. Guitarist Stone Gossard wrote: “It’s been 20 years since that day.A normal festival show day…show up 5 hours ahead. Wait for your slot.I barely remember it…Sunny, I think.Lou Reed played, I think.Then rain and wind. But nothing has been the same since.” On June 30, 2000, Pearl Jam took the stage at the Danish music festival. So many fans packed the crowd, especially the mosh pit, so much that Eddie Vedder implored the crowd to step back to give space to those who were all the way in the front. However, that didn’t happen, and nine men, between the ages 17-26, were suffocated or crushed by the rails and died. “An unexpected moment intervened that forever changed all involved,” Gossard w...
