Review by Leslie Byron Pitt Scandinavian fiction has gained a significant amount of attention over the last few years. With good reason too. Whether it's film or television, there’s been an abundance of mature, adult drama. Be it critiques on masculinity such as the 2014 feature Force Majeure, or the power play politics that feature in the likes of Adam Prices’ well received TV Drama series Borgen. As primarily a film writer, I often don’t have the time to venture...

By Duncan James My first Bank Holiday Ride Out for 2016 and the weather forecast had Storm Katie hitting our shores. Typical, I thought. When I passed the Dick Turpin on the A127 - a meeting point for the Mods before they arrive at Southend - it didn’t look good. There were just a handful of scooters in the car park. On arriving at Southend, though, Storm Katie was nowhere to be seen. It was here on the sea front,...

As Rubinos explains, “Black Terry Cat is a #browngirlmagic carpet ride powered by deep pocket backbeats and funky bass lines.

I was listening to...

Mark the 14th in your calendar, people, London's irreverent HOO HAs are releasing their second single This Is The New Me, taken from their upcoming self titled debut EP. “I suppose this song is about the trial and error nature of learning what parts of my life are good for me,” says lead singer Jamie. “The sense of self is a flexible concept, every time you have a new thought you can be a new person. How I feel today may...

By Alex Lodge (@alexlodgemusic | Insta @alexlodgemusic7) Alex Lodge is a music supervisor for film, TV and advertising at Thirty Two.  Have been frantically record shopping all week so this one was difficult to cut down. We have a track from Bibio’s new release which is a bit of a departure in a lot of ways from the usual kaleidoscopic psychedelia we’re used to from him, along with a banger from the LA beat scene with Linafornia. We kick off with...
