If you haven’t already, you should really get to know about the House of Hifi. Based in Bournemouth and founded in 2017, they are a totally female-fronted artist management and events collective, represented by DJs AMA, KIRA, KYRO and Sheba Q. Since 2020 hasn’t been a great year for events, HoH have launched a new […]
My Nu Leng x S.P.Y A set of words (or letters if you want to be pedantic) I would have thought were only possible to see together in my bass addled imagination. Like when you ask someone to name three headliners for a hypothetical festival and they reply with The Spice Girls, Bonnie Tyler and Noisia. An […]
For this review I’ll be taking a look at Ill Truth and Defex’s new Roadkill EP, out now on Guidance. Initially I want to take a look at Guidance itself. Set up 3 years ago by none other than scene legends Ulterior Motive. Guidance came to the forefront of the scene with their first release […]
Man, do Dogger & Mindstate know how to do intros. When a release starts with over two minutes worth of crashing symbols, pensive chords and slow burning brass accents you know this is going to be some serious soul business. Welcome back boys! It’s been over a year since their debut Broken Home EP, and you get the feeling that […]
Facing Jinx’s debut album has already had one hell of a wild ride even before its upcoming release on July 31st. Six years in the making and originally destined for a home on Med School, the LP was left homeless when Hospital told its little sister to stack its chairs last year. But rather than let it hold […]
We’ve seen a number of newcomer labels in the past few years, however none have quite made the impact Overview Music has since its inception in 2018. Overview has kept to its winning formula of dark, techy and impeccably well-made music from the best of the newcomer circuit and have quickly seen commercial success, taking […]
Yo yo, Meg here from Goat Shed… How’re you doing during this strange period of history? I’ve adjusted, I think, but I’m restless. I miss performing, I miss working. I’m an active person so I’m just filling my time with things to keep me sane.. apparently making macrame keyrings. Macrame key-rings? It’s the art of […]
I’m going to start this review unusually with some gossip regarding two artists that haven’t directly contributed to this EP but whose presence is certainly felt, as I believe that the curator and producer of the aforementioned production could well be the love child of Break and Urbandawn. Seriously though, all jokes aside the quality […]
Having released music on labels such as V, Innerground, Good Looking, Fokuz, Bassbin and his own Flight Pattern label, it’s fair to say Random Movement has been around the block a bit. The American has stood at the summit of soulful, sun-kissed drum and bass for the best part of fifteen years and as such, […]
In April 2019 Korsakov Music, still only four releases since its launch, was just a baby in the label circuit and Droptek was a name that many 170 revellers were unfamiliar with. Then came the release of Symbiosis – Droptek’s debut album. Each of the tracks tore apart sets from the scenes most astute gatekeepers […]
This incredible three track from Leeds duo Redpine & Solo is a triumph of production, each track with its own distinct vibe still working beautifully with the rest of the EP.

Emma Rochford takes a look at the lastest EP from Hospital Records’ musical maestro – Mitekiss. It’s surprising that Mitekiss has found the time to release ‘Objects to Push’ at all really. But somehow between running his own label (Goldfat records), hosting his own podcast, creating online production tutorials and leading a double life as […]
Our Emma Rochford takes a look at the latest from Hospital Records mainstay Hugh Hardie – The ultimate lockdown soundtrack. For those of you whose desktops consist of folders full of unreleased tracks on their 64th variation, Hugh Hardie’s latest offering might be a slightly bitter pill to swallow. As most of us spent the […]
Since lockdown seems to be coming to a close and since there’s the very faint possibility that we might even be allowed to go out partying this year (please, oh sweet Jesus please) here at the Goat Shed we thought we’d take this austere moment to look back over 5 things that we’ll never miss […]

I rarely set forth out into the depths of Pompey now my student days are over. Attending a rave nowadays involves a complicated series of deductive calculations rather than £8.50, a bottle of Glen’s vodka for pre’s and only my gun fingers to hand. I did, however, feel the need to make an exception when […]

2018 was the year that jungle made a serious comeback, and by the looks of things it’s here to stay.

“Every artist, everyone who considers himself an artist, has the right to create freely according to his ideal, independently of everything.

“So Joe, who influenced you to get into Mcing?” There’s a lot of Mc’s that I was into before I started. I listened to a lot of rap music growing up, so that was a big factor. I always wanted to be a lyricist and always wanted to rap and rhyme and always […]
