Watch This DJ Rip Drum & Bass DJ Sets While Riding His Bike Around the UK
Livestreamed DJ sets have gained massive popularity since music fans across the world found themselves in lockdown due to COVID-19. We’ve seen some impressive production in those streams—virtual nightclubs to remote locations—but no DJ is approaching streaming quite like Dom Whiting. Eight weeks ago, Whiting launched the first installment of “Drum & Bass On The Bike,” and yes—it’s exactly what it sounds like. Whiting has rigged a Pioneer DJ mixer onto his bicycle and has been riding around UK cities while performing DJ sets. The series of cleverly executed and overall impressive streams began in Marlow on March 21st, when Whiting strolled around town with drum breaks and reese basses echoing around him as he managed to make clean transitions—and not ru...
The Black Keys’ Patrick Carney on Their New Album Delta Kream and Honoring Hill Country Blues
<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-05-14T17:33:57+00:00“>May 14, 2021 | 1:33pm ET The Black Keys mark a return to their roots on their new album Delta Kream, which honors Mississippi Hill Country blues artists who inspired the duo — including John Lee Hooker, R. L. Burnside, and David “Junior” Kimbrough — through 11 stellar covers. The Ohio rockers recorded the album in 2019 at the end of their “Let’s Rock Tour” “in about 10 hours, over two afternoons,” according to drummer Patrick Carney. To create an even more authentic approach, the pair brought in esteemed musicians Kenny Brown, who played guitar for Burnside, and Eric Deaton, who played bass in Junior Kimbrough’s band. The resulting effort is an exciting fo...

J. Cole, Rap’s Middle Child, Comes of Age on The Off-Season
<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-05-14T18:39:31+00:00“>May 14, 2021 | 2:39pm ET As with most middle children, one tends to forget about them in favor of their older or younger sibling. The Off-Season, out today (May 14th), sees J. Cole — aka hip-hop’s self-proclaimed middle child — finally accepting and embracing his place, and letting everyone know that though he may exist between generations, he still has plenty to offer. A typical middle child is constantly seeking approval from either or both of their parents, only to find themselves ignored (and therefore disappointed). Cole has garnered similar scorn from a large sector of rap fans — look no further than his shots at Kanye West on “False Prophets” or his cont...
Could Digital Health Passports Boost Secure Travel Post-COVID-19?
/* custom css */ .tdi_3_635.td-a-rec-img{ text-align: left; }.tdi_3_635.td-a-rec-img img{ margin: 0 auto 0 0; } According to the World Health Organization’s COVID-19 dashboard, there are 157,973,438 confirmed cases globally, and the National Institute for Communicable Diseases (NICD) is tracking daily increases in infections pointing to a looming third wave in the coming weeks or months. Statistics show us that different countries are at different stages of their pandemic journey. In this regard, health passports are the latest step in the evolving response to the global pandemic. It is an idea that’s gaining traction too, as it seems such an obvious solution to help reopen the door to a post-COVID-19 world. However, one person’s common sense approach to halting the spread of the virus and...
Cheap Trick At Budokan: Corey Taylor, Linda Perry, Butch Walker and Producer Jack Douglas Discuss Iconic Album
<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-05-13T19:45:35+00:00“>May 13, 2021 | 3:45pm ET It’s not very often that a legendary band’s discography is highlighted by a live release, but in the case of Cheap Trick, it just so happens that the live album in question is one of rock’s greatest recordings. Cheap Trick At Budokan put the band from Rockford, Illinois, on the international map and established them as a major force in the music industry. To celebrate At Budokan, Consequence gathered four esteemed musicians and producers via Zoom for a virtual round-table discussion on the album and Cheap Trick’s legacy. Along for the ride are Slipknot singer and solo artist Corey Taylor; songwriter, producer, and onetime 4 Non Blondes ...
Gaspard Augé’s Escapades: Out From The Shadow of The Justice Cross Into a World of Epic Fantasy
Who is Gaspard Augé? Fans know him as the more mysterious member of French electronic duo Justice (which, for a group that only appears with a new album every five years and is better known for smoking cigarettes than actually speaking, is saying a lot). He’s the one with the big hair and the mustache, always peering through yellowed sunglasses but never with a smile. He’s mostly quiet in interviews and likes to wear a lot of vintage rock t-shirts, but what is going on in his mind? Apparently, it’s a Mongolian rider storming through the Turkish mountains, playing violin by horseback. That’s the scene of his one-minute visual released in celebration of his latest single “Hey!,” the second from his forthcoming debut solo LP Escapades. As the title suggests, the 12-track collection is an adve...
Why People Should Invest in a Culture of Zero Trust Security
Sourced from International IDEA During a preview of this year’s RSA conference, a team from Orange Cyberdefense demonstrated a range of pretty scary scenarios of what can happen when malicious actors take control over a user’s home router. These range from duping users into downloading payloads dressed up as fake VPN software updates, capturing user’s credentials or redirecting traffic that should be going over the VPN to the threat actor. Typically, home routers are outside of the enterprise security control and often not very well protected. The majority of people trust their ISP to set up their home access points for them, frequently resulting in default settings such as admin/admin credentials. Home routers are frequently attacked by criminal and state actors alike. Despite the easing ...
The 2022 Honda Civic Looks Great Lowered and on Iconic Tuner Wheels
Moments after the official images of the upcoming 11th generation Honda Civic sedan hit the airwaves, the enthusiast community began pitching potential changes. Some want a complete “do over,” while others appreciate the 2022 Civic’s design departure from its older sibling’s rather aggressive nature. Regardless of what side of the fence you’re viewing things from, most will agree that a tasteful set of wheels and tires, along with the elimination of at least a portion of that often dreaded factory tire-to-fender distance, is the easiest way to make the biggest visual impact. Factory Wheel Woes Having some time to mull over the various angles of the latest version of Honda’s golden child, it just seems like the factory wheels miss the mark. The...
Porsche Sonderwunsch: Your Source for Factory Quality One-Offs and Restorations
You may be familiar with Porsche’s Exclusive Manufaktur personalization program, or its Classic setup that provides parts and restoration support to classic Porsche models. Meet the zenith of these two services: Porsche Sonderwunsch. If you’re thinking that sounds like the word “sandwich” in German, rest easy—”sandwich” is the same in German as it is in English. “Sonderwunsch,” on the other hand, translates from German as “special request,” and applied here is shorthand for a new one-off custom car and total refurbishment service being launched to cater to Porsche’s most discerning customers. See all 36 photos Want Porsche to build you a complete one-off sports car? Done; Porsche calls that branch of the program Factory One-...
