Imagine that the internet has created this weird cultural black hole – sucking in all the diversity of music – recirculating. refining, fusing – pop music, eating up more and more diversity – and whilst pop music gets closer and closer to the infinite point – the black hole gets bigger – sweeping further and further across the globe, into the smallest of sub-cultures – until – finally – there is only one song left – that the whole world listens to constantly on repeat.
Rey Pila – a band from Mexico in 2025 – producing 80s English synth pop – is one hell of an emblematic stop on this whirl into the centre of the pool.
