BTS from the The Now session. No gentle warm-up with this lot.

Some bands spend the morning quietly tuning up. The Now turned up already at full volume, and I spent most of the day trying to keep up with them while carrying a camera.

They’re four lads from South Wales making big, loud, proper rock. Think Royal Blood and the Stereophonics splitting a rider. They’ve recorded at Monnow Valley and worked with Jason Perry, so the swagger’s earned.

New album is out 28th October.

Coming soon to VERSION. Like, subscribe, get involved.

Up next on VERSION : The Now

Four-piece from South Wales making big, loud, rock that sits somewhere between Royal Blood and Stereophonics. They’ve recorded at Monnow Valley and worked with Jason Perry, so they’re not messing about.

Their session drops soon. Stay tuned.

What happens when a piano becomes an ecosystem under pressure?

Composer and pianist Teodor Doré placed fragments of debris and waste inside a grand piano and let the instrument speak.

Flow Interrupted is a prepared piano performance exploring water, pollution and belonging. Objects placed inside the piano distort its natural resonance, turning familiar sound into something unstable, evolving, and quietly devastating.

Performed live at the Roca London Gallery — designed by Zaha Hadid Architects this is music that asks hard questions about what we’ve done to the natural world, and where we still belong within it.

Teodor Doré has performed at Carnegie Hall, Sydney Opera House and the Musikverein. His next major work receives its world premiere at Carnegie Hall on 12 November 2026.

Presented by .21official in collaboration with CLUSTER with support from .pianos

BTS from the Tomás Doncker and True Groove session, and this one was special.

There’s something about watching musicians this good in the prep phase. Unhurried. Already in it before a note gets played.

Doncker’s been at this since the early 80s — The Contortions, Defunkt, Bootsy Collins, Meshell Ndegeocello, Patti Smith. The True Groove All Stars carry that same weight. This session does too.

New EP ‘Alive In Paris’ — out July 24th via True Groove Records.

New EP, ‘Alive In Paris’ — out July 24th via True Groove Records.

Recorded live at New Morning while touring with Fun Lovin’ Criminals, it catches Doncker and The True Groove All Stars doing what they do best: raw, spontaneous, ridiculously well played.

Doncker’s been at this since the early 80s — No Wave and Punk-Funk roots with The Contortions and Defunkt, then decades collaborating with the likes of Bootsy Collins, Meshell Ndegeocello, Ivan Neville, The Specials and Patti Smith. Genre-hopping cross-pollinator, still going strong.

Praise from BBC, CNN, MOJO, NPR and more.

Going behind the scenes with The Isle Of CC ahead of her upcoming show on VERSION 🎬

The Isle of CC is the project of Serena Robb — alt-soul and neo-soul artist out of Milton Keynes, with an atmospheric, electronic-infused R&B sound and some seriously distinctive vocal harmonies.
