I just want them to understand my foundation, and when it comes to my foundation, ain’t nobody fucking with me on that. So now I just take it all so lightly, and just be great.

Fluencee and Paper Idol Experience Sensory Overload On Circus Records Single, “Paralyzed”
Making his debut on Flux Pavilion and Doctor P’s storied Circus Records imprint, Fluencee resigns himself to raw emotion on “Paralyzed,” a collaboration with Paper Idol. As a breath-like texture and distant melody swell into focus at the outset of the track, Paper Idol contributes to the eerie atmosphere, declaring definitively “I give up on all control now.” More broadly, “Paralyzed” explores the seemingly ever-present urge to indulge in too much of a good thing. Despite the toxic push and pull of the temptation, the overwhelming sensory rollercoaster of it all is enough to render one powerless. As the track reaches its apex, Fluencee augments the haunting effect of the hook by splicing it up and adding transformative glitch and distortion effects...

RIAA Slams “Scam Operation” HitPiece, Urges NFT Website to Permanently Shutter
HitPiece may have endured the shortest lifespan of any NFT platform thus far, but the implications of its brief existence are still unraveling. Co-founded by entrepreneurs Rory Felton and Jeff Burningham, HitPiece leveraged Spotify’s API in order to list thousands of NFTs for sale corresponding to singles from innumerable different artists. The site quickly caused a stir when artists spoke up on social media en masse, claiming no one from HitPiece had consulted them in regards to monetizing their content in NFT format. The swift rebuke caused HitPiece to take down their site as quickly as it popped up, though they suggested the move is merely a temporary measure. Today, all that remains of the marketplace is a note on the site’s homepage: “We started the conversatio...
SLASH’s Advice To Young Artists: ‘Stick To The Music That You Really Love’
In a brand new interview with CNN Indonesia, Slash was asked what piece of advice he would give to young musicians who are just starting out. He responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “The music industry has changed so much since I got into it. It’s hard to sort of give anybody any kind of real advice because I’m still trying to learn how to navigate the sort of new terrain. But I think the most important thing is to stick to the music that you really love — don’t let anybody try and tell you different — and then go and try and figure out how you can connect with an audience and the best way to make that possible and do what you have to do and be prepared to work really, really hard and to sacrifice everything in order to do what you love to do.” SLAS...
