It’s embarrassing when acts do our job for us, but “folk with skank” (see below) is as fine a summary of the music of Melodica Melody and Me as your current scribe could manage. There are Latin influences aplenty – check out ‘Ode to Victor Jara’ – and there are,…

Acoustic techno is not an oxymoron, friends. Germany’s Brandt Brauer Frick show how, with a little charm and a lot of style, it’s possible to make modern club music which is thoroughly aware of the classical past. For this trio of sharply-suited prodigies, drums, strings and piano are the holy…

You know the score, of course: it’s hardcore music, so there’ll be muscular guitar riffs and cheese-grater vocals, with powering drums and boiling bass. That’s what it’s like, isn’t it?
