For every old fart lamenting Gen Z and their sexless, sober proclivities, a horde of sweaty young things are proving them wrong – and you can bet they’re all headed to a @fcukers__ gig. Since launching their first show in 2022, the band have combined ‘90s rave music with feral post-pandemic energy to stage a multicontinental night out.

For @diymagazine’s digital cover, I spoke to Shanny and Jackson about keeping the party going with @kennybeats on their debut album ‘Ö’ - link in bio 🎉🪩

For my first @musictech_official cover, I spoke with the inimitable @karyyn_music about blending technology and emotion to create her "3D tapestry" on upcoming album 'P.U.L.L.'.

We talk working with @james_ellis_ford, @hudmo, balancing her avant-garde background with pop philosophies and learning how to feel – read it now at the link in the bio!

For my first @diymagazine cover, I spoke to the lovely @magdalenabay about the human story of their sci-fi, art-pop masterpiece ‘Imaginal Disk’! Link in bio 💿

Having formed in Miami a decade ago, Magdalena Bay prove that slow and steady really does win the race. Now, having built a meticulous, surrealism-doused world with their ambitious concept album ‘Imaginal Disk’, we meet Matthew Lewin and Mica Tenenbaum ahead of their epic world tour’s final leg, to reflect on their dizzying rise to art-pop stardom.

“Cool is the good, bad and ugly”: I caught up with @bassvictim before their headline show at EartH Hall to talk about their bittersweet rise to fame for @nmemagazine - read it now at the link in my bio

All hail the resurrection of @xdannyxbrownx! I nerded out with the legendary Detroit rapper about all things hyperpop, re-learning how to make music post-rehab and his 90s era character for his incredible album ‘Stardust’. Read it now at @nmemagazine

Back with another @nmemagazine Cover, this time about Sophia Stel (@insignificantfunds). I’ve been hooked on her blend of syrupy AutoTuned balladry and sleazy basslines - and so has her feverish cult following, who’ve turned her live shows into joyous celebrations of life. Read on for her take on the power of partying at nme.com/the-cover

Hello everyone, I’ve finished up on some fun projects and am now available as a freelance editor/researcher/writer from September onwards! Here’s some highlights of what I’ve been up to in the past few months:

🌀 My SIXTH Cover story on @nighttapesmusic - who will soon share their excellent upcoming debut ‘portals // polarities’ - just got published on Monday

📺 Assisting @tcolondon on their research and licensing team for a special book (more on that soon 👀)

💥 Continuing to write reviews and interviews including @finnwolfhardofficial, @jane_remover, @addisonraee, @nate_sib and @lorde (who I somehow met?!?!)

🖊️ And finally, some new non-music bylines including @archdigest, @billboard and @museumsandheritage - with some pretty gnarly footage of reporting from treacherous, unknown territory… 🦖

There’s plenty more I’ve worked on as well - all my stuff’s at alexrigotti.com or on my Twitter (alex_rigatoni)

So proud to have written the first NME Cover for 2025 about @iamheartworms! A really spectacular musician and one of the most exciting acts to burst out of the underground. Went off to RAF Hendon to have a chat with her - read what went down at nme.com!
