Translating Climate Change Data into a Musical Score

Thea Rossen is a percussionist and composer from Australia. She was at Banff Centre in 2017 for the Concert in the 21st Century residency, which explores new ways to present live music. While here, she workshopped the performance, "Music for our Changing Climate," with her collaborator from the Ad Lib Collective, Jared Yapp. After her time at Banff Centre, Thea premiered her work in Melbourne, Australia.


One portion of the hour-long performance is called "Sounds of the Reef," which sonifies data about the rising ocean temperatures surrounding the Great Barrier Reef, and the resultant damage done. Rossen and Yapp use unusual materials such as dripping ice cores, and bleached coral to create sounds authentic to the project's theme. Rossen hopes to start a conversation about science using music and art.

Open Space: DJ Carnage

“I was raised in a third world country, kind of the same thing compared to some kids living in the hood,” says DJ Carnage of early childhood in Guatemala. From these beginning he moved to the suburbs of Washington D.C. and then farther out to the Maryland boonies. As he detailed during an Open Space session for MASS APPEAL, the EDM star’s career has taken a similarly unpredictable route.


With few friends in the rural U.S. and an unfamiliarity with the country’s culture (“All he knew was WWF, Spanish Nickelodeon and my Naughty by Nature cassette tape”), Carnage began making beats and putting together mixtapes of songs he found on MySpace. “I was so infatuated with Khaled and Drama, I wanted to do that,” he says.

And though Carnage has become a major name and major draw in the dance music, he’s stayed involved with hip hop. He connected with Lil Uzi Vert when the young artist only had about 400 followers on SoundCloud (he’s currently at 1.19 million) and hooked him up on “WDYW,” a track with A$AP Ferg and Rich the Kid.

Carnage also has an EP on the way with Young Thug and he gave us some insight of what’s like and how quick you have to be when with the mightily prolific artist.

Watch our Open Space video above for the full interview.

Bad Company UK - Tetris



Get it here - https://RAM.lnk.to/BCTetrisPR 


With both their newer output and pivotal classic releases still rocking dancefloors, Bad Company UK remain at the helm of drum & bass worldwide. With a history which spans across both groundbreaking singles and albums, their music has laid the foundations for one of dance music’s most revered subgenres. 
Joining the ranks of Ram Records last year, Bad Company UK have continued to push boundaries and raise the bar. Their remix of The Day is My Enemy by The Prodigy stood tall as their smashing Ram debut and original  tracks  Nomad and Equilibrium have demonstrated their desire and ability to deliver at the highest level once again. Following recent tour activity which has taken them from the USA to New Zealand and from Japan to Eastern Europenext up Bad Company UK return with Tetris.
Tetris provides a nod to the sound which made Bad Company UK so infamous whilst bringing the 2017 flavour also . With a sliced and diced old-school sample filtering its way through the mix, D BridgeFreshMaldini and Vegas waste no time in delivering a cut-throat anthem. Tetris defies any commercial pressures brought about by their global success, paying homage to their beginnings whilst propelling them into the future.
For fans old and new, Bad Company UK are back and are on fire.
