Despite its electoral promise to continue funding till 2020, the Queensland Government has stripped the Queensland Aids Council of funds totaling $740,000

 

The Queensland Government attributes 2 reasons for this removal of funds, citing that the AIDs virus or Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome had been removed from the states list of notifiable diseases 2 weeks ago as well as the cost for the drug that stopped the spread of the virus having its cost reduced from ‘thousands of dollars’, to about 30 dollars.

- Chicago’s reputation for violence and gun crime has done interesting things to its hip-hop scene. On one side you have the gritty drill music, with rappers like Chief Keef attempting to soundtrack the city's dark underbelly. Then there’s the new wave of conscious rappers, who preach positivity and optimism in the face of oppression.

- Analogue Attic has just dropped the inaugural EP from Citizen Maze. Hailing from Melbourne, Maze, aka Adam McCoy, is new to Attic’s roster. Albrecht La'Brooy is behind the ever-consistent Analogue Attic, fulfilling their mission statement (if one can call it that) to showcase “the gentle side of electronic music down under”. It’s been a great outlet for Albrecht La'Brooy’s own productions as well as those by Sleep D, Udmo and Rings Around Saturn (amongst others).

Sleaford Mods: Sleaford Mods

Submitted by chrisc on Wed, 19/09/2018 - 16:57

- By now, Sleaford Mods' music has become a well-executed mnemonic state. Gruff vocals spit a sardonic and biting diatribe over simplistic loops, cemented into a style unmatched by others. When I first encountered them it was like running into a drunk bloke ranting at the pub, a recipe that I found surprisingly entertaining; it’s been a grouse time since. Coming into this new self-titled EP, Sleaford Mods operate from a code of their own. Variety might not be the duo’s strong suit but when the product is consistently brilliant, can we really complain, at this point?
