Mirrors

Les réseaux sociaux ont profondément transformé et façonné les modes de communication du secteur musical. Mais comment cette évolution a-t-elle réellement impacté notre scène ?

Si ces plateformes sont souvent présentées comme des outils de démocratisation culturelle en permettant à chacun·e d’être découvert·e et de percer en partant de “rien”, ne reproduisent-elles pas, elles aussi, les rapports de domination que nous efforçons de défendre ? 
Entre l’uniformisation des formats poussé par les algorithmes, la part croissante des contenus rémunérés postés par les médias (et souvent de manière opaque), l’émergence de l’artiste influenceur et la mainstreamisation de la scène qui l’accompagne, la politique de censure anti-LGBTQIA+ du groupe META ou encore la pression à la visibilité permanente et ses effets sur la santé mentale… comment expliquer notre dépendance collective aux réseaux sociaux ? Peut-on vraiment s’en défaire ? Quels sont les outils possibles pour valoriser la musique autrement ? Les réseaux détruisent-ils la notion de rareté et la véritable découvrabilité dans la musique ?

avec David Bola, La Pépinière, Replicant Events et Oreille Interne.

Ma Sha and Hodge announce their first joint EP ‘No One Moves Alone’, a four-track collaboration out November 20 on Kindergarten Records. Born from a spontaneous studio session in Montreal, the record captures the spark between two artists whose paths have long paralleled across Bristol and New York’s underground club scenes. The result is a high-energy fusion of Bristol’s percussive grit and New York’s experimental edge.

The pair first met in New York during a Kindergarten Records night at Nowadays, where Hodge played back-to-back with Darwin alongside the label’s residents. “It felt like the perfect lineup for the Kindergarten sound,” says Ma Sha. “That night had this wild, fluid energy that stuck with me.” They kept in touch, trading production ideas and studio tips, and a year later found themselves in Montreal, each performing their debut live sets at MUTEK 2025. The following day they reunited for a three-hour back-to-back at Piknic Électronik, where the chemistry was instant. The next morning they went straight into the studio, and by the end of that session, the foundation of the record was complete.

“Everything just clicked,” says Ma Sha. “We captured the energy of those few days, our first live sets and our first proper b2b. It felt like lightning in a bottle.” Hodge adds, “It came together so naturally. Ma Sha’s energy made the creativity flow instantly. We both just followed where the sound wanted to go.”

Listen to "Are U Ready?" by Pralaya taken from "Are You Ready?" EP out on December 1st via Sonora Destroy Recs

Pre-order: https://sonoradestroyrecs.bandcamp.com/album/are-you-ready

There’s something unpredictable about Pralaya. One moment she’s behind a piano chasing chord progressions that could score a love scene, and the next she’s twisting those same harmonies into syncopated 160 bass chaos. Based in Saint Petersburg, this classically trained musician fell down the rabbit hole of footwork — and instead of keeping it academic, she got her hands dirty, producing, sampling, and even trying out the moves herself (turns out it’s way harder than it looks).

Her EP Are You Ready? marks the first on the digital release series on SDR, and it couldn’t be a better way to start. The project feels like a love letter to rhythm itself — soulful, funky, and unpredictable in all the right ways. Some tracks carry that hip-hop swagger, flashes of attitude that nod to her love for the genre, while others lean into R&B warmth and Chicago grit with Northern cold vibes.

Each track deserves a full listen: there’s no filler here, just groove experiments stitched together by feel and instinct. To close things off, Fourtwenty Sound comes in swinging with a hyper-jungle flip that turns the EP inside out without losing its soul.

Shattered, I began to turn to the core.
The swirling ease that is shedding its skin to remember me;
In my deepest, I always assumed the intimate. 
Dawning in me gently and unaltered
I can feel you, you unnamed.
Inward, my beloved—are you the world?
Can you touch me with your quiet? 
Me, looking through you; you, nesting in me. 
Naturally, you place your melody in the shell of my ear.
Ever listening, I find myself playing the strings of your instrument
that bodies my imagination. 
Come closer, my perceiver, and break the stream of my thoughts
in this hollow tube pretending to be my mind.
Push me. Wake me up. Unmerge me from the weight of stone. 
How can we be separate?
Peculiar to believe so - when agony is the one
that has never dared to ask.
I acknowledge you now,
so sing me the song
you’ve been sheltering all along.
