Shitty Names and Techno Beats: An Interview With Soukie & Windish

Music | Bittles’ Magazine: The music column from the end of the world In the over-saturated world of electronic music it takes a lot to stand out from the crowd. Yet, this is something Berlin duo Soukie & Windish manage with ease, ably injecting a sense of melody, humour and personality into everything they do. So, if you ever start to feel as if you can’t take another rigid 4/4 beat, faceless techno loop, or by-the-numbers bassline, then the music of Fritz Windish and Nayan Soukie could well be the cure you seek.

What I mean is, have you ever been playing a record when all of a sudden it gets too much for you and you find yourself racked with heart-wrenching sobs? Even after decades of loving music I can list on one hand the songs that have had such an emotional impact on me. The reason for this isn’t just that I am a tough as nails Irish man! No, it also has to do with the fact that

Slow Club Live @ Rough Trade East

Bittles‘ Magazine | Live: Slow Club @ Rough Trade East In their short yet eventful career Sheffield-based band, Slow Club, have moved from folk-rock darlings to disco divas to ›Motown‹-infused soul revivalists. This latest incarnation is given free rein on their excellent third album ›Complete Surrender‹. With the band playing a sold out gig at the ›100 Club‹ later in the evening, tonight represented a chance to hear the new material that makes up the latest LP for the first time. By JOHN BITTLES
