Richard Dawson has announced a new album: The Ruby Cord is out November 18 via Domino subsidiary Weird World. The album is billed as the final installment in a trilogy that began with Dawson’s 2017 album Peasant and its 2019 follow-up, which is titled 2020. Ahead of the full release, the English songwriter has shared a trailer for a film set to the opening track, a 41-minute song called “The Hermit.” The full film will screen in some UK cinemas later this year. In a press release, Dawson said that the album, after the historically-set Peasant and the present-day 2020, was informed by futuristic science fiction and social collapse. “So many of us are moving into these fantasy worlds,” he said. “Whether it’s actual constructed virtual realities, computer worlds, or retreating into even more ...
Jared Leto is set to star as Karl Lagerfeld in a new biopic about the late fashion designer, WWD and Variety report. Leto’s production company with Emma Ludbrook, Paradox, is making the film, though no director is yet attached. “Karl had a career that spanned 50-plus years so both personally and professionally he was close to a number of people,” Leto told WWD. “I can say we are going to home in on key relationships that convey different parts of his life.” Lagerfeld’s fashion house has endorsed the film, and three executive producers who were close to Lagerfeld are on board. Leto added that “Karl has always been an inspiration to [him],” describing the controversial designer as a “true polymath, an artist, an innovator, a leader and, most importantly, a kind man.” What Makes a Great Super...

Hearing a handful of talented music producers put their own unique spin on an already exciting song always makes for a solid listening experience. Earlier this year, rising DJ and producer Perfetto teamed up with veteran singer-songwriter John Twilight to unveil “Night Calls Me,” a euphoric dance record that calls back to the anthemic progressive house sound that dominated the electronic music world throughout the early 2010s. Now, Perfetto and Twilight have made their return, breathing new life into “Night Calls Me” by enlisting the talents of four trailblazers for a compelling remix package. While the latter’s stentorian voice and profound songwriting continue to serve as the song’s backbone, each remixer does a stellar job at reworking the original with their own style. A rem...
Capricorns: limitless in resilience, relentless against adversity and steep in emotional depth. TSHA taps into the heart, soul and spirit of her astrological sun sign on her debut album, Capricorn Sun, a swelling stunner out now via Ninja Tune. The 13-track LP is mountain-moving at its best, and consistent in the punch of its hooks. And while the power of TSHA’s free-flowing arrangements may take a moment to hit their stride, her work is of the breed that transforms on the dancefloor. Take the slow-building rapture of “Dancing in the Shadows” (with Clementine Douglas), for example. Ecstasy bubbles under the surface of orchestral chords and Douglas’ impassioned flows. It’s easy to imagine TSHA, who was named one of EDM.com‘s best music producers in ...
