<p><span><span>- Hip hop, as any good student of music history can tell you, started in The Bronx. The more nerdy history students, in fact, could pinpoint the exact block where Kool Herc started spinning breakbeats. From that point on, the history of hip hop is often the history of localities. Compton, Brooklyn; East Coast and West; the Dirty South. Often new developments in the genre are traced back to one location - trap from Atlanta, grime from East London.</span></span></p>

Radium Dolls: Bel-Haven

- Does the nervous energy of Radium Dolls leak out from the seams of their debut EP Bel-Haven despite having been shut up with the rest of us, for six months, or because of it? Probably both? There’s an uncomfortable, frenetic quality to the Brisbane band that dances off-kilter and up in your face, like a conversation with someone speeding off their dial. It’s difficult to know whether you’re being entertained or about to be headbutted.
