Speculative Fiction for a f****d-up age!

Bittles‘ Magazine

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)

You Disco I Freak: New Single Reviews

Music | Bittles’ Magazine: The music column from the end of the world In the second part of our two week 12” extravaganza we have all sorts of electronic goodness sure to stir the loins. There are the shiver-inducing grooves of Ghost Vision, Soela and Demuja, the progressive house wallop of Bicep, the leftfield techno of I:Cube, the classic funk of Space, a four track comp of house freshness from the Shall Not Fade crew and tons more.

Just be prepared to dance!

Bittles‘ Magazine | Interview: Pink Skull It is not often that a dance album makes me sit up and take notice on the very first play. But that is exactly the effect that Huitlacoche by the band Pink Skull had on me. Coming out on My Favorite Robot Records on the 10th of February the record, the band’s fourth in total, is a raw, dirty, funk-filled delight that is perfect for headphones and dance-floors everywhere. An Interview with Pink Skull by JOHN BITTLES.

Ein Telefonat mit Christian Löffler

Music | Bittles’ Magazine: The music column from the end of the world

Christian Löffler ist ein Unikum in der elektronischen Musik. Ist kein Partyhengst und keine Rampensau. Spielt er nicht gerade selber, ist er höchstwahrscheinlich nicht im Club anzutreffen. Er wirkt aus der Ruhe seines Refugiums in Norddeutschland. Christian verbindet das Sehen und Hören miteinander, indem er malt, fotografiert, Musik macht und Geräusche sammelt und zwischen ihnen übersetzt. Das Ergebnis ist melancholische, empfindsame und feingliedrige Musik. Sein neues Album, Lys, wurde Ende März in einen Ausnahmezustand hineingeboren. Livestream statt gefüllter Hallen zum Release. Nach der Review des Albums im letzten Beitrag hatte LOUISE RINGEL Fragen, die Christian ihr im Telefonat beantwortet hat. Sie haben über Livestreams, emotionale Musik in emotionalen Zeiten und weibliche Stimmen gesprochen.

The Search For A Positive Truth: An Interview With MANOID

Music | Bittles’ Magazine: The music column from the end of the world Every so often a record comes along which makes you stop what you are doing, prick up your ears, and pay rapt attention. One such album is the thoroughly excellent Truth by fast rising Polish producer MANOID. Out now on the always fresh Hafendisko imprint, Truth is a record which only needs a few moments to convince you that you and it are going to be good friends. By JOHN BITTLES

An Interview with F**k B*****s

Bittles‘ Magazine | Interview As future music historians will no doubt agree, there is a lot of derivative and unimaginative MOR-type music in the world right now. From the pop-dance of Avicii to the wet indie of Bastille there is enough rubbish around to make the average music purist’s ears bleed. What we really need is a record that hits the listener hard, like a well needed slap to the face. That not only alienates your ›nice‹ friends but makes your parents scream »What the fuck is that crap you’re playing? It’s not even music, you know!«
