Rainy Miller
Blackhaine
aya
Iceboy Violet
Space Afrika
Richie Culver
Rat Heart Ensemble

all from this scene and a lot of them working w each other - some of the greatest producers and live performers in the world rn. big players in hip-hop, experimental, club, ambient, hypnagogic rock, everything.

North of England is super neglected and poor compared to South, there's a lot of darkness and anger there, but I guess because classism is so obvious there's also a really beautiful sense of collective fight and inspiring each other.

personal fav records
Iceboy Violet - Vanity Tape
Blackhaine - Armour II
Space Afrika - Honest Labour
everything by crazy af Culver (posted links above)

In my interview with Loraine James we talked about them a bit. I've been meaning to do a feature on them forever, or series of interviews.. all of them deserve their own long reads tbh.

should maybe be said that Blackhaine did choreography for Kanye's Donda 2 event and is currently Playboi Carti's choreographer. Think his first ever music-related appearance was as a dancer in this Vegyn / JPEG video

@Vox 2 essential videos for a taster + new single from Rainy Miller & Space Afrika collab album featuring Mica Levi
