You might have noticed that “rave” is everywhere… paella raves, Heated Rivalry raves, a Trader Joe’s vs. Aldi rave, coffee shop raves. Dave & Buster’s just announced a rave tour this week. I reported on this new wave of mainstream “raves” for @pitchfork pitchfork.com/story/the-rise…

This stuffed and gleefully self-aware 34-track project is the sound of @Skrillex, street cred enhanced, winking at nostalgia for the bass-boosted festival frenzy that made him a star. ra.co/reviews/36263

Here's an interview I'm proud to share: a conversation with @TRAXMAN_TEKKDJZ filmed a few hours before his last set in New York. Some amazing stories about the beginnings of ghetto house, Dance Mania and footwork here. Thank you for sharing your wisdom! youtube.com/watch?v=aKp8te8e…

Earlier this week, @residentadvisor published our first cover story of 2025. For this one, I traveled to London to sit down with @bjork. We talked DJing, digital culture, avatars, nailing the balance between emotional vulnerability & privacy & more. ra.co/features/4420

Good time to revisit this Rewind I wrote in 2021
20 years ago, MF DOOM released his hilarious, indulgently sample-heavy MM..FOOD. When it came out, it was initially misunderstood—by both critics and peers. The album's journey from fan favourite to rap classic is now complete. Revisit our 2021 Rewind: ra.co/reviews/25425/

Reviewed @LSDXOXO_’s debut album—a treat for me after interviewing him about it three years ago! The record makes a solid case for his pop star era and is nostalgic in all the best ways ra.co/reviews/36198

Breaking another Twitter hiatus to announce 1) that I reviewed Tinashe’s gorgeous album 2) that I’ve been promoted to reviews editor at RA and thoroughly enjoying it for the past month
.@Tinashe's seventh album isn't quite "nasty"—outside the independent artist's brief flirtations, her introspective seventh album is really about striving for authenticity. Read the RA-Recommends review ra.co/reviews/36176
