RPS Presents

RPS spoke to author Joe Mulhall, a researcher and historian of postwar and contemporary fascism and currently senior researcher at Hope not Hate, about his brilliant new book Rebel Sounds: Music as Resistance, a collection of stories and hidden histories about how music provided light in the darkest of times over the past century.

RPS spoke to guitar legend Bernard Butler ahead of his Barcelona gig and found out that, frankly, we're not worthy. We talked guitars - of course - about his new album Good Grief and grief itself; about Jessie Buckley, collaboration and why he doesn't sound like David Bowie. Bernard Butler plays the Centre Artesà Tradicionàrius on Friday October 4. Picture by Eva Vermandel.

RPS habló con el mejor grupo de pop kraut reverbcore de Pamplona, Melenas, sobre remixes, sintetizadores, Henry Rollins y mucho más, mientras se preparan para tocar en el Festival B este fin de semana.

Gayoncé Rose apareció en escena durante el apogeo del trap made in spain como un personaje irreverente, bromista pero muy romántico que logró captar la atención del mismísimo C Tangana en su día. Nos visitó en el estudio para hablar de su pasión por el freestyle, criar al primer trapero de diez años y de colarse en macro conciertos echándole morro.

Nuestro DJ favorito de Barcelona, Phran, nos visitó para hablar sobre la música electrónica en Venezuela, pinchando con Arca, raptor house, changa, minitecas, sus sellos Vimana y ACA y mucho más.

RPS spoke to journalist Ian Wade about his fantastic new book, 1984: The Year Pop Went Queer, which is published in July. Wade talks about why 1984 was such a key year for pop music, about a revolution hiding in plain sight, about Smash Hits and about the epic pop explosion that was Frankie Goes to Hollywood.

RPS spoke to sublime and bewitching American singer Chrystabell about her new album, Cellophane Memories, with David Lynch; the power of overlapping vocals; appearing on Twin Peaks: the Return, as Tammy Preston; natural burials and the power of the end-of-life doula.

RPS habló con Rita Payés, cantante, compositora y trombonista extraordinaria, sobre su nuevo álbum “De Camino al Camino”, cómo es trabajar con su madre, las canciones de cuna y tocar en un monasterio.

Ahead of Paolo Nutini’s gig at the Vida festival this weekend, RPS spoke to him about Kosmische, Motorik beats and a song inspired by Barcelona.

RPS spoke to Luiza Sá, guitar player and drummer for the legendary Brazilian band Cansei de Ser Sexy, ahead of their gig at Barcelona’s Razzmatazz 2. We spoke about not taking yourself too seriously, the band’s legacy and, above all, winning. Picture by Gleeson Paulino.
