Founded in the UK in 2008, The Quietus is one of the world’s leading independent websites for quality longform writing on visionary and modernist music and culture, covering all genres with an equal weighting.

The Quietus treats the emerging artists of the genre-melting present with the same reverence the mainstream reserves for the stale canon of yesteryear. We look to reappraise and revitalise those artistic pioneers abandoned in the hinterland.

We champion trailblazing and illuminating cultural journalism from around the world – numerous successful writers and broadcasters are first published on our pages.

After years held back by a creaking old website, The Quietus (tQ to our friends) has been regenerated, providing an indispensable portal to a realm of cultural discovery, devilment and debate.

“The Quietus believes in the power of cultural criticism to cut through the noise of social media and the ultimately disappointing guidance of tech platform algorithms. To write down a series of words that have never been combined before, expressing a complex series of emotions, thoughts and experiences that unites writer and reader at a level that feels telepathic and changes the joint experience of reality: That is the definition of magic.” – tQ Co-founder John Doran.

Challenging the fine line between music-making and story-telling, the Spanish duo of Reykjavik 606 have quite a few tales to tell. Grasping the audience with an unrestricted blend of sounds, shifting through ambient, downtempo and cinematic house, their ways with music push the boundaries of what is and what can be. Its masterminds, Kino Internacional and Borja Piñeiro, have a taste for the eclectic, get their kicks from tool-kit experiments and continue to enamor many a music-loving soul with a genre-bending mix of audio and visual. With unique live shows at Mutek Festival, Nokodek and Sonora, along with the critically acclaimed release of their ‘From..To…’ LP on Sofa Tunes, future invites Reykjavik 606 to share their story.  Childhood friends with a life-long obsession for music and the technology behind it all. Underlining both their talents, Borja studied percussion, while Kino mastered the piano and became one of the lucky few selected for the Red Bull Music Academy Bass Camp in 2013. Combining expertise and vision, they found the perfect balance in Reyjavik 606. United in differences, they equally share the musical process of creating tracks, remixes and sets. With releases on Sofa Tunes and Soulles Lab, remixes for Talkome, Ioan Gamboa, BeatLove and Wesphere, as well as their ‘From..To…’ LP being nominated for Album of the Year in highly regarded dance magazines like DJ Mag and Clubbing Spain, they’ve started to claim ground and make their narcotic rhythms and organic beats thrive.   Crafting an ethereal and atmospheric vibe, the musical chronicles of Reykjavik 606 are constantly morphing, telling the crowds of an emotional state of consciousness. In full control of their digital and analog hardware equipment, witnessing one of their sets is a monumental experience – one that will stick with you for a long time. Their story is one to be continued, so we’re about to find out what the future beholds.   

*Cuushe

Kyoto native dream pop artist Cuushe (who recently toured with Grouper in Japan), Using her mesmerizing airy vocals as the main instrument, Cuushe composes pop-infused electronic music that is lovable and yet uniquely different from any other song-based pop sounds out there. Together with the delicate lyrics penned by her, the multi-talented cuushe beautifully projects a subtle musical world that is carefully wrapped with sensitive emotion and fragile memories. her recent ep 'Girl You Know That I Am Here But The Dream' was featured Julia Holter, artwork by Rachel Evans (Motion Sickness Of Time Travel) and mastered by Miles Whitaker (Demdike Stare/Pendle Coven).

best japanese album in 2012 Time Out Tokyo

someone whose way of expressing the sacred beauty of pop isn't to yell and screech but to whisper and sigh. - The Guardian

Cuushe makes electro-melancholia that caresses you like waves lapping at the shore. ..exquisite. Dazed and Confused

a gorgeous and smooth masterfully-produced affair, whilst containing a crackling warmth and rawness - literally crackling in places. - The 405
