NYC-based experimental electronic artist Ela Minus and Miami-based DJ-producer Nick León share a Colombian heritage, and last year they teamed up on “Ghost Orchid,” a single from León’s debut album A Tropical Entropy. Now they’ve gone and made a whole EP together, much like Minus did with DJ Python back in 2022. “It was so free,” León says of his creative chemistry with Minus. “There were unspoken understandings of what we wanted to do. That’s not normal.” Minus adds, “We immediately felt this kinship.”

Asking Jadasea about his new album title, Holly Grove, it feels like I’m playing a game of multiple choice. One moment, it’s a poignant tribute to his home. The next, he just chose it because he thought it sounded cool. Kicking back in his friend’s garden on a sunny London afternoon, he settles for something like all of the above, with an emphasis on hometown inspiration and immediate practicality.

No matter how old you are, it’s time for your Sadurn return. That’s a little astrology joke for you regarding the announcement of The Underworld, the Philly indie-folk band’s follow-up to their 2022 debut Radiator. The album emerged from a period of struggle for frontperson G DeGroot during which they physically couldn’t sing. “I was having chronic pain, problems with my voice, gut issues,” they explain in a press release. “It felt so urgent to try and keep things going, but my body was saying no.”

This year, streaming services are tackling the problem of AI-generated music. In January, Bandcamp announced they were banning it; in March, Apple Music introduced AI transparency tags. Today, Tidal revealed its plan, which is closer to the latter than the former. However, along with AI music being identified with badges, it won’t be able to be monetized.
