Young Franco On How To Make Music That Matters

I dabble in woo-woo. I know my big three (Aries sun, Scorpio moon and Pisces rising). I’ve had a tarot deck since I was 15 when my friend and I both bought a deck from a self-proclaimed witch with long grey hair from a shop in Launceston. I frequently delete my Co-Star app and then re-download it whenever I want to be negged by my phone and the Co-Star copywriters. I fucken’ froth a sparkly rock. And I rewatch Practical Magic every year.

Lockout laws, lockdowns, and the increasing residentialisation of Australia’s biggest city: What didn’t manage to kill Sydney’s underground only made it stronger. In the midst of it all, dstreet was born. Named for Douglas Street, the location of a big, silly sharehouse, the party collective was formed through a series of “pretty stupid house parties”. What followed out of lockdown were a slew of inner west location TBAs, outdoor parties and bush raves. Their “first licensed venue party” was held at the Sydney Opera House, as a part of Vivid Live’s studio party series.

From the Underground to the Opera House

In the UK, hip-hop culture started emerging in the early 80s with rappers, DJs, graffiti writers and breakdancers taking their cues from what was happening stateside and putting their own spin on it. Crews formed across the country as like-minded people started making music together and building communities. And in London, there was a British-Jamaican teenager with a film camera documenting it all.

Asha Puthli shines like the brightest star in the solar system. The 79-year-old jazz singer’s escapades include shooting for Studio 54, acting in a James Ivory film, and singing about finding a lover in outer space. But Puthli has been retired for almost 40 years since then, skipping past the 90s and much of the 21st century. Her 1976 album The Devil is Loose is easily one of the most spellbinding and influential albums to come out of the 70s and is said to have inspired enigmatic disco legend Donna Summer. A sonic concoction of psych rock, free-jazz, pop, rock and disco throughout the album forged a path for radical musical experimentation at a time when many artists had only begun to scratch the surface. And Puthli has always been a renegade – almost 50 years after the album’s release, her freak flag continues to fly.

As a ten-year-old in the backseat of my Mum’s old Holden Barina, the bass of Timbaland and Missy Elliott’s iconic “Get Ur Freak On” felt best when my hand was placed upon the car speakers. The booming Indian tabla hand drums and the instantly catchy six-note base melody played on the Punjab tumbi sit underneath Elliott’s bars like kindling while she does what she does best: ignite the song.

If you are struggling with a break-up and need to talk to someone, email lovebetter@youthline.co.nz or text “lovebetter” to 234. Your ex may have been hot when you were in love, but that doesn’t mean they can't burn you after the break-up. For instance, they could start sharing snarky posts about you on social media. They might just be anonymously shit-talking the relationship, but some people will go as far as spreading rumours and sharing humiliating info and pics without a second thought.

“From Romford” … “to Sydney”. The crowd whooped as the words illuminated the stage of the Sydney Opera House’s concert hall behind party pioneers Underworld. British duo Karl Hyde and Rick Smith have been producing rousing techno ballads and all-consuming, charging dance tracks for three decades. Climbing from Wales, to east London, to the silver screen with “Born Slippy (Nuxx)” (one of the 90s’ most iconic songs that scores the climax to Trainspotting), to music directing the 2012 London Olympic Games’ opening ceremony, and now to headline Vivid, a state-government funded arts festival, in the most famous building in the world.

The rural town of Eskdale, Hawkes Bay, was once home to vineyards, orchards and a small community – but since February 2023 it has been left a ghost of itself. The Esk River that runs through the town has a long history of flash flooding, with notable floods wreaking havoc in 1938 and 2018. February 2023 saw Cyclone Gabrielle sweep across Aotearoa, leaving devastation in its wake. Heavy winds battered the land and buildings alike, bringing down trees, flipping cars and keeping terrified New Zealanders trapped inside.
