“Reload Sound are a DJ soundsystem collective, production crew and event curators founded by Sam LOUDD joining the dots between Hip Hop, RnB, Dancehall, Afrobeats, UK Rap, Reggae, Neo Soul, Amapiano, Grime, Future beats, soundsystem culture and global bass music. Connecting genres, scenes and eras. Drawing for the most impactful tunes of today, alongside exclusive edits, remixes and dubplates, whilst digging deep for selections from back in the day.”
From:

“**H.P. Lovecraft** was born in Providence, Rhode Island, in 1890. He was self-educated and lived in his birthplace all his life, working as a freelance writer, journalist, and ghostwriter. His best work - including some sixty or so short stories - was published from 1923 onwards in the pulp magazine *Weird Tales*. He died in 1937, in poverty and virtually unknown; today he is recognised as one of the great masters of supernatural fiction, the dark father of modern horror with a unique, singular vision. His personal reputation, however, is tainted by his infamous bigotry and bountiful prejudice and misogyny.”
From:

“Controversial on release and still capable of shocking today, *Bad Lieutenant* is an uncomfortable, unforgettable piece of early ’90s independent cinema anchored by a performance that feels less acted than survived.”
From:

“⛯ MssingNo “Tears in the Club” king MssingNo’s influence cannot be understated. Since dropping the proto-viral “XE2” back in 2013, his misty-eyed R\&B futurism has quietly shaped the sound of today’s underground rap and club music alike; you can hear traces of it everywhere from bladee and Fakemink to US producers like F1lthy (Playboi Carti, Lil Yachty etc).”
