In Manchester’s underground, a disparate group of artists – Another Country $$$$, BUFFEE, Crimewave, Mogan and SILVERWINGKILLER – are blurring the lines between bands, DJs and performance art. Bound by a shared ethos and fed up with the predictable, they’re building a DIY communal culture driven by friendship, shared purpose and a desire to upend convention.
Read our profile on the rising scene, then dive into ANOTHER COUNTRY $$$$’s mix below – a ride through hyperpop, deconstructed club and experimental electronic sounds, featuring tracks from James Ferraro, Bassvictim, A. G. Cook, Ecco2k, aya and John Glacier.
Who: Sam from ANOTHER COUNTRY $$$$.
Where: Manchester.
What: Our music generally tends to blend dance music and hyperpop, with elements of other experimental genres like vapourwave. It’s often really ethereal, euphoric, emotional and bassy, especially when we play live.
When: I can’t decide. Maybe very early in the morning – like 5 a.m. – or possibly late at night in a forest.
Why: I’ve always been really inspired by worldbuilding and narrative through sound design. Musicians like James Ferraro have always been a big inspiration. I think there’s also something quite personal about all of the songs that I write. They’re often inspired by the subconscious or, on some level, quite existential. It’s often quite cathartic writing, dealing with my own personal experiences and attempting to take from them something abstract.
