Gottwood 2024: A Secret Welsh World Of Wobs, Wooblies & Womps

We’ve been following Sound Of Fractures since his last single ‘Meant To Be’ landed a few months back, the first reason being that we’re suckers for some emotional garage mixed with electronica and secondly, because there’s an air of unexpectedness surrounding him which makes each drop as exciting as the next. After digging through the tracklist for his new album (released yesterday) to find something that’s a bit of us, we came across ‘Scenes’, the lead single of his latest release…

Road Testing East London’s Inclusive Hair Haven ‘Not Another Salon’

Pride month has arrived and we kicked it off in style this year by getting our hair done at London’s most inclusive salon. Walking through the door to Not Another’s flamboyantly decorated space feels like walking into a world where everything is right, rainbow-coded decor is the norm, stylists work on wigs destined for the heads of drag queens, pronoun pins have a permanent place on the reception desk and everyone expresses themself authentically from customers to the team…
