The Habibi Funk label releases amazing music ranging from Libyan reggae to Egyptian disco & Moroccan funk. I interviewed founder Jannis Stürtz for @HadaraMagazine about his musical journey, avoiding colonial patterns and why James Brown matters everywhere. hadaramagazine.com/eclectic-sound…
Have you found yourself wondering: "wtf is going on in Germany? Why are artists getting cancelled for speaking up in support of Palestine?" Me too. I traveled to Berlin and spoke to artists and activists to untangle the situation for The Face. theface.com/music/berlin-i…
I interviewed one of my absolute favourite musicians, @Jlin_P, for @ftweekend. We chatted about working with Philip Glass, why vulnerability is her superpower, and how she realised it was time to quit working at the steel mill and do music full-time. ft.com/content/734b6f…
Back in the @FinancialTimes last weekend after a long break, writing about my conflicted thoughts on the upcoming Zelda movie and the importance of fantasy in tough times. PS - Charles Dance for Ganondorf ft.com/content/4dccb7…
Walt Odets: From his practice in Berkeley, the clinical psychologist and author of Out of the Shadows: Reimagining Gay Men’s Lives is working to help people heal. Interview by @_TomFaber. | bit.ly/42k416V
"I think of songs like characters in a story. How will I introduce this, say, very tragic character, who’s a little bit broken? How can I create a moment in which this song can come alive?"—DJ Hunee speaks to @_TomFaber about his dancefloor philosophy. | bit.ly/3PLvNDj
🚨 New mix! 🚨 Looking back at the past year, I put together a mix of some of my favourite club sounds, leaning into tracks from Latin America, North Africa and home here in the UK. Good fodder for a sweaty NYE boogie 💃 Listen here: mixcloud.com/_moth/the-book…
"I found myself dancing next to a hedgehog wearing a top hat, an anime nun with an acid green halo and a humanoid fox in hot pants." On any given weekend, there are dozens of parties happening on VRChat. Here's what some of them are like. nyti.ms/3I87JbZ
Hunee is a world-class DJ and a deeply thoughtful conversationalist. I spoke to him for @kinfolkmag about dance floor dynamics, the ethics of the music industry and those vital, fleeting moments of connection that make it all worth it. Read it here: kinfolk.com/hun-choi/

Ever year is tougher than the last when you're a magazine journalist, and most of my pitches still get rejected or ignored, but I did what I could and tried to write the hell out of 2022:
Last day of work before Xmas and I'm writing a thematic piece on some of my favourite games of the year. A good year for downer sci-fi!
@lewis_gordon Put together a quick & dirty top 10
just had my last doctors appointment of this absolutely nightmare of a year. but it just reaffirmed the latest good news: i’m clear of cancer, my wounds are healing, and i’m ready to get back to work right after new years. i said “cancer free by 2023” and i never miss deadline.
🚨Job news! I have been promoted to Deputy News Editor @eurogamer! I’m really proud of the work I’ve achieved over the past year and can’t wait to deliver more!
Techno in 2022 is both: A) Bigger and more lucrative than ever before. B) Part of blanket insult ("business techno") and a veritable stand-in for creative stagnation and overt commercialism in dance music. When was the last time the genre seemed so patently uncool? 1/2
I’m over the moon to see my Poetry Jenga mentioned at the Financial Times (@FT) today as part of an article that discusses the Poetry Games exhibit @natpoetrylib. Thanks to @_TomFaber!💥
