Add to playlist: the euphoric ‘Bollywood electronic’ of the Twins and the week’s best new tracks

Add to playlist: the euphoric ‘Bollywood electronic’ of the Twins and the week’s best new tracks

Omar and Jamal Ikram, 21-year-old brothers, are making lo-fi glitchy dance-pop with the melodic sensibilities of Bollywood music From Aldershot, Hampshire Recommended if you like 2hollis, the Hellp, Jai Paul Up next New single Wish U out now You, like me, may be growing tired of the 2020s’ so-called “indie sleaze” revival, which has so far yielded a few good parties and not that much good music. But the music of the Twins – Aldershot-born brothers Omar and Jamal Ikram – is made of sturdier stuff. The 21-year-olds are progenitors of a sound they call “Bollywood electronic” – a strain of loud, lo-fi, ultra-glitchy dance-pop that sounds like 2hollis if his songs were heavy with screwy samples of south Asian pop. Their debut album, last year’s Turmeric, captures the still-potent appeal of Jai Paul’s classic Str8 Outta Mumbai – which fused the lackadaisical sheen of 2010s electronic pop with the shining rhythmic and melodic sensibilities of Bollywood music – and, as is de rigueur for the contemporary era, makes it bolshie and frenetic, taking in the euphoric aggression of early Skrillex and unnerving noise of Aphex Twin. Turmeric was a minor hit, thanks in part to Fuckersby, a collaboration with on-the-rise British rapper Fakemink, as well as the Twins’ monthly NTS show, also called Turmeric , which turns one this month. (Its combination of classic British pop stars such as Lily Allen, Punjabi artists such as Sukshinder Shinda, and contemporary electronic acts the Hellp and Sophia Stel gives it the feeling of a late-night pirate radio station totally out of time and place.) The duo’s follow-up EP There&Back, released in May, polishes up the Twins’ sound a little, but not that much – if anything, their collaborations with Rada and Varg2TM on There&Back are even louder and wilder than anything on Turmeric. The duo’s future plans aren’t clear, but their mission is: “We don’t want brown kids to feel like they have to fit into anything,” Jamal said in an interview. “People are always gonna try to label what you’re doing, but you don’t have to move like that.” Shaad D’Souza Continue reading...

Leicestershire facing relegation over pitch penalty, and more: County Championship cricket, day three – live

Leicestershire facing relegation over pitch penalty, and more: County Championship cricket, day three – live

All the latest updates from around the grounds Middlesex chair Sykes to resign | Email Tanya It was advantage Warwickshire at the top but perhaps the most significant action of the day came off the pitch and at the bottom, with Leicestershire all but relegated after a points deduction. The Cricket Regulator had charged Leicestershire after the Grace Road pitch was rated as poor for last month’s win against Glamorgan. The cricket discipline panel has upheld the charge, leading to the deduction of the 19 points picked up for the victory plus eight more as a penalty. A Leicestershire statement said “the club is reviewing its position and considering all available options”, but the deduction left them bottom of the table, 38 points adrift of the last safe spot. With Hampshire 225 ahead with seven wickets standing, Leicestershire’s hopes in what is now a must-win match are slim. Continue reading...

Country diary: Notice anything wrong with this ripe, succulent plum? | Claire Stares

Langstone, Hampshire: My garden is full of Victoria plums, but they’re not supposed to be crunchy inside This summer has been challenging for the fruit trees in my garden, with intense heat and a lack of rain causing poor cropping, premature ripening and pre-harvest drop. While my dessert and cooking apples have produced just a handful of stunted, crab-apple-sized fruit, and my quince is bare, the Victoria plum growing next to the greenhouse is the exception. Its branches are so heavily laden that several have snapped under the weight.

Ashes legal dispute: Hampshire damages claim led to lack of 2027 Test in north of England

Hampshire paid £1m by ECB after missing out in 2023 County challenged decision to give Headingley match The lack of Ashes cricket in the north of England next summer is the result of a legal dispute that followed the allocation of venues for the 2023 series against Australia, which also involved the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) paying about £1m in damages to Hampshire. The Guardian can reveal that Hampshire brought a legal challenge against the ECB after missing out on hosting the Ashes in 2023 to Yorkshire, who staged the third Test – which England won by three wickets – at Headingley.

Somerset return to summit after dog stops play: county cricket, day three – as it happened

Somerset eased to a 377-run win over Leicestershire to go top of Division One while Notts were caught cold by Hampshire’s attack Lancashire’s off-on-off wicketkeeper – sent to Essex on loan – collects 50, he and Akhter frustrating Yorkshire with an unbroken eighth-wicket partnership of 60. Essex 157 for seven, still 233 behind. A wave to the Guardian’s Will Unwin who rang the five-minute bell today at Old Trafford, asked by a unwary steward who didn’t know the red rose fury within.

Pressure review – stormy weather in tense D-day forecast retelling

Pressure review – stormy weather in tense D-day forecast retelling

Andrew Scott finds levels of complexity in a stoic character based on meteorologist James Stagg, the man who persuaded Eisenhower to delay Operation Overlord, for this slick wartime drama The historic gamble of D-day 1944 gets a new perspective in this slick and watchable, if slightly cheesy and unreflective, period drama, whose staginess reflects its origins in theatre; David Haig adapts his play with the director Anthony Maras. Andrew Scott – in RAF uniform, short-back-and-sides and ’tache – plays James Stagg, a brilliant Scottish meteorologist attached to the military during the war. Stagg arrives at the top-secret allied base of Southwick House in Hampshire stubbornly intent on telling allied Cmdr Dwight “Ike” Eisenhower, bullishly played by Brendan Fraser, that he has an outlier forecast of bad weather, which means D-day should be delayed from Eisenhower’s planned date of 5 June. This is to the rage of Col Irving P Krick (Chris Messina), the swaggeringly gung-ho American meteorologist who has always had Ike’s confidence until now. And if we were unsure about this character’s brash-Yank status, in his opening scene he literally shimmies and bops to the Andrews Sisters’ Boogie-Woogie Bugle Boy in the operations room to the uptight, thin-lipped astonishment of Stagg who, as overall commanding officer, tells the Americans to get that piano out of there.

Have a little fun scamming the scammers | Letters

Gary Calder responds to an article by a Guardian Money reader who got even by stringing the fraudsters along Anyone wishing to get their own back on bank-card scammers using the method described in your article ( ‘I’ve £80k in the account, here’s my pin’: turning the tables on the scammers, 29 August ) might like to add a touch of realism to a made-up bank-card number by picking a known issuer identification number (the first six to eight digits) and ensure that the last digit conforms to the Luhn algorithm (it’s a check digit used to pick up errors in entering all the other digits). Further fun could be had by choosing an interesting postcode, such as SW1A 2AA (or 2AB – 10 and 11 Downing Street), SW1A 2JL (New Scotland Yard) or SL4 1NJ (Windsor Castle).

‘They car-bombed my house – there’s not much more they can do’: the astonishing podcast taking on illegal bloodsports

‘They car-bombed my house – there’s not much more they can do’: the astonishing podcast taking on illegal bloodsports

After 20 mutilated animal corpses were left outside a rural primary school, the creators of award-winning podcast Buried began investigating – with a little help from Chris Packham. It plunged them into organised crime, the dark web and Line of Duty-esque rumours of police corruption In 2024, a village in Hampshire woke up to something truly disturbing. A mound of dead animals had been dumped outside a school, and blood oozed out on to the streets before children’s classes started for the day. There were about 20 carcasses, including rabbits, hares, pheasants, a fox and a muntjac deer with its head severed. The village was dumbfounded, and the biggest question was: why? The husband-and-wife investigative journalist team of Dan Ashby and Lucy Taylor – the pair behind the award-winning BBC podcast series, and now forthcoming documentary, Buried – found themselves wondering the same thing. Their new 10-part podcast, Buried: Dead Rabbit, delves into this and finds them plunged into the shady world of illegal bloodsports. Specifically, hare coursing – where dogs hunt hares to kill them, an activity that has been banned in the UK since 2005 – and its links to organised crime and the dangerous, violent characters who are terrorising villages across the country. Buried: Dead Rabbit is on BBC Sounds now. Continue reading...
