For millennial music journos such as ourselves, Simon Reynolds is one of the Goats.

He’s a writer best known for his era-defining book on dance music, Energy Flash (or Generation Ecstasy, if you’re in the US) and the ultimate history of post-punk, Rip It Up And Start Again. But there’s barely a genre that Simon hasn’t touched, from his coverage of hip-hop, shoegaze and grunge for Melody Maker back in the day, to his glam rock history Shock And Awe, to pivotal essays on Auto-Tune, “conceptronica” and any number of his own coinages, like post-rock, neurofunk and the hardcore continuum.

Reynolds’ new book is a collection of essays, interviews and reviews (some dating back to the late ‘80s, but most from this century) on the idea of “futuromania” – his word for electronic music’s obsession with the manifesting the future, and an aesthetic urge that’s in obvious contrast to the nostalgic currents of “retromania” he’s previously diagnosed in pop culture. Futuromania kicks off in 1977 with Donna Summer’s ‘I Feel Love’ and sweeps up half a century of electronic genius, with writing on household names (Kraftwerk, Daft Punk, Future), underground icons (Acen, The Mover, Omni Trio) and nebulous trends like the 2010s ambient revival.

Unsurprisingly, we couldn’t squeeze all of that in a single episode of No Tags. But we did talk to Simon about the lure of accelerationism, dance music’s middle-aged desires, Daft Punk’s yearning for the “mass synchrony” of the ‘70s, the uncanniness of Boards of Canada, and how he learned to stop worrying about retromania and start loving Dry Cleaning. Plus: he gave us the scoop on his next book! We think it’s an exclusive!!

Just a reminder, dear No Taggers, that we’re now releasing a new episode every week. That’s right – more music, more discourse, more Random Birds. Please do us a favour and subscribe/follow/like/share No Tags wherever you can, especially if you know someone you think will enjoy the show.

Eight loud, boiling cuts across the spectrum of bass music from the Tabula Rasa Records crew. Bright DJ tools influenced by hardcore, IDM, trap, UK garage and trance.

Intended as a complement to the teamwork and label prowess showcased on last year’s washed out, melodic “Here & Now” compilation, "212 F" (the scientific boiling point for water) is a showcase in rough, loud, abrasive tracks made for breaking speakers.

Features artists like Gaszia, RamonPang, Crosstalk, Falldren, Ghostmemory and more.

Rinse responsibly.

A prolific & diverse artist in the mediums of writing, sound and music, Hong-Kong-born, Bristol-based gyrofield (Kiana Li) picks up the controls on NTS for their debut radio residency. Their arrival to the Drum & Bass scene was an anomaly, a completely self-made artist reaching far into a disparate dance music community. Far before that though, a steady stream of DIY electronic productions had been coming out under the gyrofield moniker, ranging from glitch to ambient techno to dubstep. 
With these 6 broadcasts she aims to reconcile all parts of her musical history & understanding, shedding light on back catalogues and upcoming material alike while also inviting special guests on curation duties.
