It feels like the new Gorillaz album 'The Mountain' has been on the horizon to be released forever! We've had singles being released for it since mid 2025. It was originally scheduled for a March release date, but they pushed it up to this Friday, February the 27th. I think they realized how long the wait was. Anyways been loving all the tracks they've been releasing for it, in particular been playing out "The Happy Dictator" in my DJ Sets for months.
Check out that track below and be sure to check out the new album Friday!
Lo-fi electroclash artist Peaches is getting ready to release new album 'No Lube So Rude' on February the 20th. It's her first new album in over 10 years and seems not much has changed. She still pushes the envelope as much as she did over 20 years ago when she first hit the scene. I remember playing her classic track "Fuck the Pain Away" all those years ago and being nervous, will people like it? The answer was a resounding yes! It killed on the dance floor. We ended up bringing her down to play in Miami at the Polish American Club (there's a throwback) and I remember Iggy Pop showing up to see her perform as he was a big fan. That was pretty amazing!
She's released three tracks from the album so far "Not In Your Mouth None of Your Business", "Fuck Your Face" and the album title track "No Lube So Rude". Check out the video for "No Lube So Rude" below. Check out more on her youtube.
PS If you're in Miami Peaches will be performing at Zey Zey on the album release date February 20th with another amazing up and coming NYC electroclash band Model Actriz. If you're around you should definitely check that out!
Heard this song today "Boundary Rider" on Sirius by Tycho & Paul Banks from Interpol and I loved it! I knew it was Paul, his voice is so distinctive. Seems it's been out a a few months released in October of 2025. Maybe if you're like me you may have missed it. Check out that goodness below.
PS Interpol is on tour and will be in Miami on March the 7th at the James L Knight Center. Tickets have been acquired. Can't wait for that. Maybe we will get some new music to go along with the tour? One can only hope.
Arctic Monkeys are back with their first new music in four years titled "Opening Night" which they did for the forthcoming War Child benefit compilation 'Help (2)' and it is excellent! The compilation will also feature new tracks from bands such as Depeche Mode, Wet Leg, Damon Albarn, Pulp, Beth Gibbons, Fontaines DC, Foals, The Last Dinner Party and many other amazing artists. Can't wait to hear that!
One my favorite bands from recent years NYC'sNation of Language is gonna be in Miami this Friday1.16.26 playing a show at Zey Zey right in my hood! So excited to catch them live for the first time and in their first headlining show in Miami. Been a fan since 2023's 'Strange Disciple' and recently in 2025 they released the excellent 'A Dance Called Memory' featuring one of my favorite tracks from them "Inept Apollo". I literally played that track on repeat for months. So good!
Check out their video for "Inept Apollo" and "Sole Obsession" one of my faves from 'Strange Disciple' below. Enjoy and see you at the show!
