We’ve Found Broke’s Summer Soundtrack And No Surprise It’s By Sammy Virji

Last night, we hit warm-enough-to-walk-home-after-a-night-out weather (as we discovered after trekking South to scout out a new venue), and that confirmed it for the Broke crew, the first wisps of summer, so I’ll stop gatekeeping this banger with it’s goated build up and BPM good enough to get your heart pumping before easing you into a puddle of pure bliss with some steamy wobs (big up Sammy Viji and Chris Lake for the beats)…

Bendik HK Drops A Mind-Bending Remix Of Gouldian Finch’s ‘Cocoon’

Bendik HK ain’t your average DJ, he’s got fans around the globe gagging for another edition of his high-BPM mixes and a quick listen into his latest remix will give you an idea why. A wobbly banger that wouldn’t be out of place in an intimate venue, seasoned by a steamy atmosphere and sweaty writhing ravers. It’s a revamped take on Norwegian producer Gouldian Finch’s (or as you might know him better, Martin Horntveth’s) “Cocoon” holding onto the essence of the original but catapulting it into a whole new dimension through injections of nu-wave jungle, electronica, and experimental flair into this remix (if we don’t hear it in a festival tent this summer we’re gonna start tweaking)…

How Metal Morphosis Shaped London’s Subculture

When you think of Camden, two things spring to mind. Punks and piercings. Throughout the ’70s and ’80s, the borough became home to some of this century’s most iconic subcultures, shaping London’s underground scene and communities of individuals identifying publicly with each other through a shared affinity for going against the grain and self-expression through piercings…

The Anti-Gatekeeping Club: SCRT’s Dimension Hopping Drop ‘Wandering The Panes’

Yulia Niko B2B Broke Magazine: Parental Expectations, Why Everything Happens For A Reason And Her Debut Album ‘TWINSOUL’

As you might have already discovered for yourself, music and spirituality are inherently entwined, it’s not uncommon for ravers to undergo a spiritual awakening and for myself, I’ve felt closer to ‘source’ on the dance floor than anywhere else, so when Yulia Niko’s debut album ‘TWINSOUL’ dropped into Broke Magazine’s inbox, I was determined to borrow a few moments of her time following the release for a quick chat to find out more. Here’s what she had to say…

We Road-Tested Maria Lodetoft’s Sound Healing Session At The Mandrake, Here’s What Happened…

Walking up to the Mandrake, a luxury boutique hotel in central London where Maria Lodetoft, Head Of Spiritual Wellness there, holds her sound healing sessions, I felt a little out of place. Me and Iz aren’t exactly aligned with the ‘fancy’ lifestyle and in our matching red hoodies we stuck out like a sore thumb, so when met by the Mandrake’s doormat and welcomed into the building by a dimly-lit, artistically decorated corridor with calming, spa-like sounds, it gave us a moment to ground ourselves before ascending to the heavens and entering the fourth-floor penthouse to meet Maria…

Crocs Announce Their Second Collab With Simone Rocha

Not to brag, but I’ve been repping Crocs since before they were cool *insert cringe-worthy picture of my crusty childhood self repping a pair of pink Classics* (cheers for the Christmas gift grandma). After wearing the Mega Crush style to LFW last season, I was officially re-converted to a self-confessed Crocs simp, so when Simone Rocha’s AW24 collection came down the runway last week, you best believe I spotted their 2.0 collab a mile off…

Have you ever listened to an artist, known they we’re gonna pop off big time at some point and then spent the next five years following their make-it moment using every oppertunity to mention that you found them before they got big? Well apologies in advance because we’re about to spend the foreseeable future doing the same with Boston Bun (and without an ounce of shame)…

Emerging Producer MAFRO Has Officially Found His Sound With A Remix Of Aluna’s ‘Underwater’

We’re gonna be real, the first time listening to this track, we went back and forth on if you Brokerz would vibe with it (no shade, we’re just not one for extended vocals), HOWEVER, the beats had us hooked and after honing in on them the second time round we were sold (the same thing happened with DJ Seinfeld’s ‘Now You Do’ and we’d lay down our life to hear that for the time again).

If You’re Sick Of The UK Goverment F*cking Over Festivals, AIF Have The Answer, And They Need Your Help

If the thought of losing more god-tier events sends a shiver down your spine, there is something you can do. The Association of Independent Festivals (AIF) have launched a new campaign, ‘5% For Festivals’, calling for a temporary reduction from 20% to 5% VAT on ticket sales for the next three years, giving promoters and festivals time to get back on their feet and rebuild after a series of rough years. AIF’s movement includes a new website that outlines the problems promoters are facing and gives festival-goers tools to write to their MPs about the VAT reduction…
