O2 Academy, IslingtonThirty years on from their album The Infamous, and seven years after the death of founder member Prodigy, Havoc teams up with Big Noyd for a breathlessly-paced setBig Noyd holds up a half-drunk bottle of brandy as though it were an Olympic torch, pleading: “Lord forgive me, the Hennessy got me not knowing how to act!” He and Havoc of Mobb Deep have not lost a coulomb of their electric, heart-racing energy.The first night of the New Yorkers’ European tour begins with a run of Survival of the Fittest, Eye for an Eye, Right Back at You and Give Up the Goods; Temperature’s Rising is performed by Havoc over isolated boom-bap drums, and stripped back, the song is all the more atmospheric. These tracks are all taken from their second album The Infamous, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year and is still revered for its cinematic darkness, conveying the grittiness of their Queensbridge neighbourhood through evocative and scene-setting lyricism.

The entrepreneur suffered with anxiety all his life, then a court case fuelled his alcoholism and nearly cost him everything. Now, an ADHD diagnosis has brought him clarity, a podcast and determination to help othersWhen Alex Partridge decided to become a podcaster, he dismantled his bed and soundproofed his bedroom, spent a fortune ordering recording equipment, hired a producer and booked guests – all in one evening. As an entrepreneur, the creator of the online entertainment brands Unilad and LadBible, he thought a podcast about business was a great idea. He could certainly talk about the downs as well as the ups, given that he had been kicked out of one of those companies, and only got back in after a legal battle that pushed him into alcoholism.Three days later, before the equipment had even been delivered, he’d lost interest. “I remember just being so confused,” he says, “not understanding how I could have this feeling of emptiness, compared to the euphoria and the determinatio...

(Nyege Nyege Tapes)This Peruvian-Congolese partnership transforms traditional African guitar-playing with thrillingly chaotic sound designPeruvian multi-instrumentalist Ale Hop has a knack for unsettling reinventions of musical traditions. On her last album, 2023’s Agua Dulce, she and percussionist Laura Robles reimagined the cajón, electronically processing the instrument’s rhythms with skittering synths and rumbling sub-bass to produce eerie, unpredictable percussion. She returns with Congolese guitarist Titi Bakorta, the pair’s lively debut record delivering a new take on the folk-pop sounds of Congolese soukous.Characterised by its high-register, dextrous electric guitar rhythms and bright arpeggiated melodies, soukous is generally an uptempo, joyous genre sitting somewhere between Ghanaian highlife and Latin cumbia. Across six tracks, Bakorta captures this effervescence, his spirited guitar-playing ringing with trilling harmony on opening track Bonne Année, lilting through a fa...

Rather than a chain of locks cut across the valley, his iron trough spans it, joints sealed with red Welsh flannel dipped in boiling sugar. Opened in 1805, it is the highest, longest aqueduct in Britain. Fiona Collins Continue reading...

The Tory leader gave an address that was full of candour about her party’s failures. You can sense Nigel Farage’s delightWell, finally. Only eight years on from kneecapping the economy and crowing “you lost, get over it” at anyone impertinent enough to notice, a Conservative party leader has tacitly admitted the painfully obvious: Brexit was an act of wilful negligence by a government that dragged Britain out of its most important trading relationship “before we had a plan for growth outside the EU”. There wasn’t a considered Plan B, just a government frantically trying to catch itself up as it went along. And that’s only the start of it, Kemi Badenoch argued this week, in the first interesting thing the Conservative party has had to say to the nation since its bone-crushing defeat.Successive Conservative governments dating back to David Cameron’s had promised to get immigration down but hadn’t thought through how to do that either, she pointed out, and consequently achieved the opp...

For a while I lost my sense of self and dressed in void-core black. Finally I’m finding myself again in a new, colour-filled wardrobeFirst my dad died, followed by my gran, the resulting trauma forced me to quit my job, the love of my life left and before I knew it I was an only child who didn’t know who they were any more. All inside 18 months. I didn’t recognise the person who showed up at social gatherings, spoke for me or stared back from the mirror. That vanished person really enjoyed playfully dressing up but the new me only felt comfortable wearing black – an unconscious tonal shift to match life’s darkness.As a kid I’d often be deep in my puppeteer mum’s dress-up box, and she gave me a small clothing allowance from an early age (which I’m sure she sacrificed her own needs to provide) that gave me autonomy over my image. I was the only boy in my high school sewing class and for a time I wanted to be a tailor. I’m straight but my choice of clothing became a target for homophob...

A first league win in nine for Brighton and the latest hard truth for Ipswich. The home side had been under little serious threat until Kaoru Mitoma, profiting from loose defending, scored just before the hour but were never in the game after that. They were smothered by visitors who chose to do anything but sit back on their lead, Georginio Rutter doubling the advantage and ensuring a swift return to the relegation zone for Kieran McKenna’s team. Brighton cruised home and, with players newly fit, will hope to have drawn breath for a march up the table.The pre-match levels of respect between McKenna and Fabian Hürzeler had been considerable: two of the best young managers around oversee teams to be proud of, and there was another clear point in common. Both sides might wonder how their seasons would look if draws more regularly became victories; Brighton had tied six of their winless run while Ipswich, freshly out of the bottom three on goal difference, could point to the recent dro...

This confident, stylish adaptation of a Scandinavian bestseller is an extremely well-made thriller about the race to track down a serial child killerThe most striking thing about The Crow Girl is the sight of young male bodies lying dead all over the place. It’s quite shocking. Those poor boys, you think. Isn’t it terrible? How could anyone ? It has the twin effects of drawing you deeper into the plot and showing you how inured we have become to the sight of young dead female bodies used as scenery and plot points. It’s good to be reminded now and then, I think, of what we deem normal and where we draw our cultural lines and have our consciousnesses and consciences shaken awake.Now that I’ve crow-barred that outrageous feminist point in – to business!
