Ice storm: Bonobo and Lunice at Sub Zero. | January 21, 2016 |
Livity Sound’s Steel Pulse. | November 7, 2013 |
Son Raw is 8-track only Livity Sound is a growing concern. What started as a vinyl-only label for Peverelist, Kowton and Asusu to explore intersections between Bass Music and Techno has since grown into a festival-favorite live project and a musical collective that’s carved out its own unique space, one that’s acted as a Trojan […]

Son Raw: The evolution of Swindle. | May 18, 2012 |
Son Raw is electric sliding to this one. “But is it Grime?” That question seems to be popping up with increasing frequency as the London based mutation of Garage and Hip-Hop nears its 10 year milestone.

Son Raw: Joker, Lone & Girl Unit take it to the max | May 17, 2012 |
Son Raw wrote a think-piece and killed three releases in one review. I don’t like writing about music as if it were fashion.

Son Raw: Lunice & Hudson Mohawke are TNGHT | May 10, 2012 |

Perhaps it’s our shared distaste of British rule or our love of fattening foods but Scottish label Lucky Me has found a rich vein in signing Montreal musicians from Jacques Green to Ango […]
Son Raw: Joss Ryan’s Melancholy dreams | May 7, 2012 |
Son Raw is the dream within the dream within the potential Inception sequel. No, I haven’t abandoned beats and bass lines for the sensitive sounds of the singer songwriter. Despite a name befitting a James Blake successor alongside a baby face and EP title to match, Joss Ryan provides the latest incarnation of the UK’s […]
Son Raw’s month in MTL | April 30, 2012 |
Son Raw spends most of his months in MTL. Book him in your city for a nominal fee. Lots of interesting music gets made in Montreal, particularly over the Winter months when nobody wants to leave the house for fear of yetis. Unfortunately, I don’t always have the time to properly document all of the […]
