rotation
DJ AND MUSICIAN
BRIANNA LANCE
Latest/greatest discovery:
A “Bad Moon Rising” cover
by The Reels. I listen to it
every single day – it’s one of
the most beautiful pieces of
music I have ever heard.
Last live show:
The [early noughties pop
group] Bubbles reunion
at Max Fish bar in New
York. It was just like
watching pure happiness,
like being inside joy.
On repeat:
King Biscuit Time’s “I Walk
The Earth”. I'm jealous
I didn’t make it.
House-party pick:
Frankie Knuckles’ “Your
Love”, or Funkadelic’s
“Can You Get To That”.
They both seem to make
everyone happy.
SOUND
CHOICE
THE SINGULAR

Latest/greatest discovery:
Big Thief. Their record
[Capacity]issosmartand
well-written but filled with
so much warmth, memory,
magic and realness.

Any Other Cityby Life
Without Buildings. The way
[vocalist Sue Tompkins]
speak-sings in and around
the beat is really invigorating
and inspired.
Last live show:
Circuit des Yeux in my
hometown, Seattle.
My favourite performances
felt like conjurings or an
exorcism. I got goosebumps
all over multiple times.
House-party pick:
“Pass This On” by The Knife.
I’ll always get up and do an
entire full-bodied lip-synch.
TKAY MAIDZA, WHOSE EP,

Rex Orange County. I’m
totally in love, the music
is so timeless. [Singer]

I felt like I was seeing
something special, so much
attitude. It was inspiring.

is so rare.
