Nashville producer username first heard footwork music when DJ Rashad’s “It’s Wack” played on a Grand Theft Auto V radio station. Bay Area producer Marsh crane’s introduction came when he stumbled onto Knxwledge’s VATOGATO tapes on Bandcamp. Their journeys to the Chicago dance genre reflect the stylistic approaches that set them apart from their Midwestern compatriots; where RP Boo and co.’s minimalism emphasizes the persistent rhythms that sustain a dancefloor, username and Marsh crane embrace a busier, Zoomer-inspired sound, hashing underground rap microgenres and recognizable samples into dreamy collagist fantasies.

Songs introduces 
When Souad Massi left Algeria for Paris in 1999, she carried with her a set of influences as eclectic as they were unlikely: Oum Kalthoum and Joan Baez, Bob Dylan and Led Zeppelin, classical guitar and Algerian folk poetry. Her debut solo album, Raoui (2001), went gold in France almost immediately, and the records that followed confirmed her reputation as a singular talent: a singer of rare emotional intelligence whose bittersweet voice seemed the perfect vessel for songs of exile, longing and survival.

…’Power to the People’ features 9CD, 123 tracks (90 of which are previously unreleased) to chronicle the story of Lennon and Ono’s political activism, spanning the prolific period between 1969’s anthem “Give Peace a Chance” and 1972’s controversial live album ‘Sometime in New York City’ as well as that year’s One to One concerts at Madison Square Garden.
For a band that has always cultivated a unique and idiosyncratic sound, 
Not everything is Twin Peaks, but Rockie does kinda feel like the album Donna Hayward would make if she could pursue her musical ambitions: She’d be influenced by Julee Cruise, for sure, and probably Chromatics, and Sky Ferreira, and what could be more Badalamentian than the cloudburst of synth that opens “On Our Knees”? Maybe you feel like you’ve seen this show before, but it’s actually the spooky and charming debut from New York songwriter Cate Osborne, aka Rockie Rode, an unassuming indie-pop record with the aura of a vintage cult classic.

Setting aside initial plans for a second chapter of THE HARP, 
Milwaukee’s Altered Five Blues Band is nearing the quarter-century mark and returns with their eighth studio album, Hammer & Chisel. The multiple BMA nominees are one of the most dependable, hard-driving blues units on the scene. Once again, Tom Hambridge is in the producer’s chair for the sixth consecutive time. As such, the album was recorded in Nashville. Principal songwriter and guitarist Jeff Schroedl is now the head of Blind Pig Records, the band’s label for nearly the past decade.
There are several artists, it seems, who go by the name of Sam Lewis. So, just to be clear, this release, Everything’s Fine, is from the Nashville musician of that name, and it’s his 7th release, following on from 2024’s Superposition. In terms of intention, Lewis, in discussion with studio engineer Joe McMahan, wanted to deliver a sparse recording, in places that might be seen as the case, but there’s still a full sound across this album.
