Music | Bittles’ Magazine: The music column from the end of the world Dansor is an artist who isn’t afraid to explore or experiment.

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. Tracks like 1000A, 5B1, Stainless Dub and O-59 revel within deep low-end pulses, jagged bass eruptions and mid-paced grooves. By JOHN BITTLES
Music | Bittles’ Magazine: The music column from the end of the world This week it’s all about that thing which we like to call house! Even though we’re only a month in, 2016 already looks like it will be a fab year for those who love their electronic grooves. By JOHN BITTLES
Music | Bittles’ Magazine: The music column from the end of the world: January/February New Albums Reviewed. Music doesn’t change over time! The only variable that exists between music and the listener is you. The number of people I know who exclaim »Music isn’t as good as it was in the 70s, 80s, 90s«, etc is depressing. Somewhere down the line people will be saying the same about the noughties and now. But the thing is, we don’t listen to music in the same way as we get older. By JOHN BITTLES
Music | Bittles’ Magazine: The music column from the end of the world The cold winter evenings that make up the month of January can be alienating and depressing at best. Yet, for music fans at least, there are reasons for cheer. Over the past few years January has heralded the release of some fantastic LPs. By JOHN BITTLES
Music | Bittles’ Magazine: The music column from the end of the world Taking a step into the musical world of Phildel can be like entering a strange and alien land. The artist’s hushed atmospherics and emotional resonance immediately induce a sense of awe and wonder in the listener. We aren’t in Kansas anymore! Possessed of a rich and powerful voice, her vocals contain a sense of yearning that seems to reach right out of the speakers and caress your very soul. By JOHN BITTLES
Music | Bittles’ Magazine: The music column from the end of the world The year 2015 was a strange time for music. Huge albums by the likes of Blur, The Libertines, Foals, The Chemical Brothers, Leftfield and Grimes failed to sparkle as, in the mainstream at least, there seemed to be very few stand-out LPs. The year appeared to lack that one unifying album which would woo pundits, pop fans, clubbers, indie kids and hip hop heads alike. There was no Blue Lines, Dummy, Whatever People Say I Am, Nevermind, or LP1. By JOHN BITTLES
Music | Bittles’ Magazine: The music column from the end of the world With the temperature getting colder and snow in the air, what is better than gathering the family around the fire and listening to some tunes? Dad wants the Beatles, Mum Take That, while the kids demand One Direction and Thirty Seconds To Mars. But what you need is something all the family can enjoy! By JOHN BITTLES
Music | Bittles’ Magazine: The music column from the end of the world With the perils of Christmas fast approaching, the level-headed amongst us are already frantically seeking somewhere to hide. Unfortunately, all the good caves are already taken, while a dank, dark hole very quickly loses its appeal. So unless you know of a remote location with no radio or TV signal the best way to survive this December may be by losing yourself within the joys of a killer groove. By JOHN BITTLES
Music | Bittles’ Magazine: The music column from the end of the world The humble cassette has had a lot of bad press over the years. From unspooling tragedies, to the fact that the song you want to hear is always on the other side, to those who see analogue as an obsolete technology, it seems no one is prepared to give the tape a break. Yet, over the last few years the cassette has been making something of a comeback. By JOHN BITTLES
