JOHN BITTLES started up a blog called ShadowCuts which publishes fiction and various other titbits (submissions always welcome). Read his first story The Nutcracker

lc_350»It began on the 23rd of July. It had been only two weeks before that I had buried my mother. And I had been putting off visiting her house from the very moment that I had heard of her death. Too many memories existed here. And as I was already in quite a bad place in my life I found that most of my good memories of the place were being overshadowed by the bad.« (more)

The Death Of The Three Minute Pop Ditty

Music | Bittles’ Magazine: The music column from the end of the world The singles market has systematically been destroyed over the last few years. For me, the process began with the decision to limit the length of a single, and how many songs it can contain. Before this we had bands like The Orb releasing 40 minute songs and bands such as The Verve and Oasis bringing out sublime four track EPs. By diminishing its value the humble single became even more disposable than it already was. Nobody took chances anymore! By JOHN BITTLES

Into the Heart of Dub: An Interview with Salz

Music | Bittles’ Magazine: The music column from the end of the world This week we have a special Valentine’s Day treat, an interview with dub techno icons Salz. Since 1997 the duo of Axel Erbstößer and Emanuel Geller have been producing melodic and trippy bass-infused music which stimulates mind, feet and soul.

The man who loved only music: New singles reviewed

Music | Bittles’ Magazine: The music column from the end of the world Even though I gave up clubbing a few years ago, I am constantly amazed at how quality dance music can still move me as much as it does. A good bassline, a swirl of 303s or a fathoms-deep groove is all I need to be taken back to the joys of a darkened floor. By JOHN BITTLES

Have House, Will Travel: An Interview With Adventures In Daydreams

Music | Bittles’ Magazine: The music column from the end of the world Back in 1994 Sunday School famously declared that ›House Is A Feeling‹. This is a message that is all but forgotten by the majority of dance music producers today, yet acts such as Adventures In Daydreams keep the original ethos of house music alive. I first came across the duo’s work two years ago through the melodic headrush of their Spirits Of The Forest EP. The record’s lush electronica and hushed beats conjure a swirl of emotion which stays with you long after it has come to
