“Raave Tapes take this already madly danceable track to the next stage by adding proper lyrics and narrative over the top, adding story to the soundtrack. It’s enough to keep feet moving *and* minds turning, a rare and delicious treat 🧠”

RAAVE TAPES – I Will Let You Down
“In time for the end of the year, dive in for one last jolt of adrenalin and throwing yourself around courtesy of this dirty dancefloor delight 💃”
An occasional roundup of tracks I can’t get enough of, by bands I’ve not got round to seeing live yet. PSTCRDS – Change & Grow Its intentions are announced in the ready-steady-go of the opening chords, before blasting off into a high-speed run through three-ish minutes of roaring, harmonised guitar explosions.

Insistent, plaintive, relentless and equal parts squall and boogie. All your Saturday nights at […]
