On 10 - 11 January 2020, the National Space Centre is creating an immersive LIVE show and exhibition celebrating one of the biggest pop culture icons of the twentieth century: David Bowie.
The National Space Centre is working with DAVID LIVE to host the very first live performance of the music of David Bowie in the Sir Patrick Moore Planetarium. The show will fully utilise the unique fulldome format of the UK’s largest planetarium, with a stunning immersive 360 degree show.
Rising alt-pop star Greta Jaime returns with ‘Internet Love’, the last of her releases in 2019. A shimmering solitary guitar arpeggio floats beneath her vocal. As the song grows, so too does the style, weaving bold melodies - reminiscent of Tove Lo or BANKS, - with the throbbing spectral-pop darkness of Grimes.
For the past four years, Monsta X have toured and attracted a massive international fan base in the United States and across the world. The single takes another step towards merging them into the pop scene as the first Korean group to seamlessly integrate fully.
“Middle of the Night” illuminates yet another side of this sensation. Hinging on a hummable groove, glistening production and thick beats reverberate throughout the dance-driven ballad alongside impressive vocal performances. The energy manifests most clearly in the falsetto-punctuated hook, “Lock me away in the middle of the night…you got me.”

Modest Mouse continue to add to their series of new music installments with today’s release of the tripped out dreamscape, “Ice Cream Party.” The single is accompanied by an equally mesmerizing visual, full of balloon animals and, naturally, lots of ice cream.
Celebrating the 70th anniversary of Prestige Records, the deluxe six-LP set presents the quintet’s marathon sessions for the iconic jazz label, recorded between 1955–56, which resulted in classic albums such as Cookin’, Relaxin’,Workin’, and Steamin’.

(15th Nov 2019)
"SO...
...I was flicking through my emails when I saw 'Girl In A White Dress EP' I knew straight away I would like it. I clicked the email & link to listen and guess what? I Love It! How does that work?
For me it has a nostalgic quality of course but it's done so charmingly natural did I say I Love It!?
If you know me you'll know I'm a fan of Roland Barthes & Death of the Author but that hasn't stopped me putting the track notes in. I wouldn't read them just listen and find your own 'Girl In A White Dress' - Best pp xx"
