An apprehensive energy charges the atmosphere just before a thunderstorm erupts. The light seems wrong, shadows washed out by the flat, sickly greenish hue of the sky. You can feel the air thinning as the barometric pressure drops, preparing for the coming gusts of wind and spiky torrents of rain or hail. Those moments seem to last forever, stretching time taut until the storm finally arrives, offering a respite from the tension.

Have you ever met someone who is wise beyond their age? Such people are often referred to as old souls. They understand life and the world better than many zodiac signs. A soul’s age doesn’t necessarily match a person’s actual age. Instead, it advances based on the life experiences someone has.

3 Zodiac Signs Who Are Old Souls

Verraco and his peers in Medellín, Colombia once presented themselves as rave revolutionaries: guerillas rising up to topple a hegemonic club culture and wrest electronic music from the Global North’s death grip. They called their label Insurgentes; its inaugural release, Verraco’s debut EP, was titled Resistir. But over the past seven years, Verraco (aka JP López) and his crew have grown from upstarts into some of the most feted names in the underground, kingpins of a scene that onlookers have dubbed—somewhat problematically—“Latin club.”

Time was, producers could keep secrets. Samples and drum kits were subjects of intense speculation, while draconian copyright laws pushed crate-diggers deep into obscure backlists. Equipment was expensive and quickly outdated; studio time cost $200 an hour. But Kaytranada arrived in the era of demystified production, with advanced engineering tools and infinite audio libraries mere clicks away. In developing his signature sound, he focused less on discrete elements—his peers could replicate those anyway—than their intricate arrangement. On his 2016 breakthrough, 99.9%, the tempos, syncopation, and layering techniques were Kaytranada’s own, even when the instrumentals and melodies came from elsewhere.

Refused have canceled a show in Sweden billed as their last festival date ever, so that frontman Dennis Lyxzén can recover from what he called “a massive heart attack.” “It’s was extremely painful and wildly scary,” he wrote on Instagram. “Thanks the the wonderful doctors and nurses at the Uppsala hospital I’m still around to fight another day. Under the circumstances I feel ok. Sore and tired and really shook up. I real really hate cancelling show but the doctor said no rock for a couple of weeks.”

Hailing from Ypsilanti, Michigan (known to me as the hometown of BabyTron), Gaptoothv4mp has a SoundCloud page that could brighten your worst day. Every line in her bubbly, warehouse-rave rap feels like it should be followed by a double pink heart emoji, even when she’s a little lovelorn, like on personal favorite “Fairytale Boy.” Her latest single “Charge You Up!” is just as good: a hyper, clubby dance song with sped-up vocals and lyrics that suggest she’s bored at home and dying to go explore the world. “Feel like I’m trapped in a cage, so I just go around it,” she hiccups. It would be melancholic if it didn’t sound like the audio equivalent of an Aliyah’s Interlude outfit.

What is more summery than an icy, sweet frozen drink? If the heat wave is getting to you, try whipping up this simple frozen strawberry lemonade. All you need is your choice of lemonade and some frozen strawberries. You can use store-bought lemonade, make your own from scratch, or a powdered version. As for strawberries, frozen ones are the easiest choice. If you'd rather use fresh, add at least two cups of ice until you reach a nice, frozen consistency.

Scooter Braun has said he will retire from music management to focus on his role as a CEO of the South Korean entertainment giant Hybe America. The longtime manager of artists including Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande, who became the subject of opprobrium when he acquired Taylor Swift’s masters in 2019, said on social media that he had joined the board of Hybe’s U.S. division and would go forward as “a father first, a CEO second, and a manager no more.” Read a transcription of his full note below, via The Hollywood Reporter.

PleasrDAO, the digital art collective that owns the one-of-a-kind Wu-Tang Clan album Once Upon a Time in Shaolin, has sued the album’s previous owner, disgraced former pharmaceutical executive, Martin Shkreli, for copying the album and playing it for online audiences without permission.

It’s rough out there for lots of indie rock bands, but Austin’s Good Looks have really been through the shit. The day after they released their 2022 debut, Bummer Year, guitarist Jake Ames was nearly killed in a hit-and-run. The band put off touring while he slowly recovered, and when they did finally hit the road, their van caught fire and they lost everything: gear, instruments, laptops, merch, personal effects, everything. A less committed group might have taken either of these tragedies as a sign from the universe, but to their credit Good Looks are a foolhardy lot. While they don’t address those trials on their follow-up, Lived Here for a While, they play like their lives depend on it.

Nobody combines serrated rap and goofy hi-jinks like Xaviersobased. In “Pediatrician,” Xavier flashes back to his kiddie days watching Noggin at the doc’s office, wearing KidRobot clothing and a SpongeBob wallet in hand, while producer mag blasts some Satan-with-IBS low-end in the “terror bass” style. The surreal combo of cute youthful references and aggro intensity is bizarrely addictive. Adorned with just enough pretty keys and airy cymbals, it throws you into a blissed trance. While January’s Keep It Goin Xav felt like a triumphant celebration of the scene surrounding his collective 1c34, with 2 goes solo and injects this kind of dazed-yet-hyper rap with a new level of screwy psychedelia.
