This magazine, as the name probably made quite obvious, will be re-leased everyday - Monday to Friday. Its purpose will be to relay to you the highlights of the days’ news in music and in film. We will endeavour to publish an issue every evening.
The Angle Daily is an interactive magazine. That means that unlike a lot of other publications that just talk about music and video, we can actually show them to you and include them on the page itself. The majority of the images inside are clickable- doing so could allow you to play a video, listen to a song or just visit a website. The article will probably tell you what to expect.
We’re currently looking for unsigned bands and artists to feature in this magazine. To have a news piece written about something you have com-ing up- be it a new record, a massive tour, something you’ve released that you want streamed, whatever- or to have something reviewed, just send an email.

ep review: thelem-we aint the same (ft t-man)Thelem’s brand new and much anticipated We Ain’t The Same EP was just released on Artikal Music UK. The album features three 140 BPM bangers alongside three, sub-loaded 87 BPM tracks. The EP features T-Man, a Man-chester based MC who spits fire over the haunting and heavy pulses of Thelem’s productions.
I spoke to Thelem and asked him what his thoughts were on the EP and the vibe he was going for, he told Angle, “The Lead Track for this EP “We Aint The Same” is high energy and a little more dance-floor orientated. I wanted to keep the pace of the EP throughout with tunes made for the club type en-vironment, but also tracks that get you pumped at home or out and about.”
In this EP, perfectly separated frequencies shoot through the speaker, collaborating to raise the tension and drop into bass-pumped, synthetic and dark atmospheres. A lot of the sounds are reminiscent of the style he started towards in his previous Haunted Harmonics EP, (Artikal Music UK, 28/04/2014). Many of the songs, like Get A Grip and Equippin’, have that melodic, detuned, fuzz pushed over the sub bass. Surrounding this focus sound are dangerous arpeggiations, delayed triplets and rattling percussion which both trips and keeps the beat’s pace.
As we’ve seen with Thelem in his previous Artikal EP, or if you’ve ever seen him live in the mix, you’ll know he’s prone to mixing in some mind-bending, sub-driven, drum and bass alongside the dubstep he’s best known for. This EP seems to have been split in that respect and three out of the six tracks are drum and bass. This could show a shift in direction for him. However, it is more likely something that he’s wanted to put out there for a while, which his live sets suggest.
Thelem can be most often caught around the UK and following this release, I’m sure you’ll hear the likes of J:Kenzo, Piezo and Sleeper, alongside the rest of the Artikal crew, playing these wicked new tunes out and about. CM

film review: the martianIf you like the idea of watching an isolated Matt Damon wander around a deso-late planet for two and half hours, then this is the film for you. However, if you’re like me and don’t have that in your ‘list of what makes films good’, then you will probably get quite bored, like me.
From the trailers and general overview of The Martian, we know that the film is about a man who is stuck on Mars for a long time. Spoiler alert! It really isn’t much more than that. Like a lot of books that have been made into films, it seems that the action and ideas are really much more suited for the written medium. You only see the character’s thoughts and feelings through their actions in film, but books allow the character’s mind to speak to you directly. I think that would work better for a guy who’s alone on Mars.
Matt Damon’s character, Mark Watney, constantly reels off jokes, which are sub-par. They feel far too geared towards knowing there’s a cinema audience sitting in front of them. Obviously, all films know that there’s an audience watching them (you would hope), but this one doesn’t do well in hiding the fact. Mark Watney reels off pop culture references and jokes about his situation just to keep you entertained, rather than himself. Obviously it’s meant to show how bright his attitude is in the face of danger, but it would be better if he were actually funny.
Not only that, but the film treats you like a fool. There were far too many mo-ments where complicated mathematics and space ship trajectories were ex-plained through the use of condiments and general stationary. I know I’m not a rocket scientist, but save me the floating staplers and whooshing noises, Ridley.
Ok, so there are some good elements to this film. The cinematography is stun-ning and if you want to see top budget renditions of the orange, endless and lifeless Mars, then you won’t be disappointed. Much of the film is spent overlook-ing the vast orange terrains with a classically sci-fi score from Harry Gregson-Wil-liams… and a lot of 70’s disco music (Guardians of the Galaxy appears to have started a trend). Another part, which I appreciated, was that there was no love interest! Finally Hollywood, you break one rule of your rigid film structure!
Those two points however, don’t make up for the boredom and sheer length of the film. But if you’re a fan of Matt Damon, then I’m sure you’ll find some joy in the dusty desert of Mars. CM

HOWLS-REST WELL
the lucid experiment- she's my melody
The song lingers over the pensive thoughts in its lyrics before reaching a new level of energy in the chorus, seething in a apparent frustration at the world’s current state of affairs. You can only applaud the worldly scope of the subject matter and how concise the thoughts and emotion behind it are. This band know what their message is and just how they want to communicate it.
wolf like child-wars
The song starts with a simple guitar rift that is carried on through much of the song, and immediately an asso-ciation with bands like Dire Straits is created. It’s very easy to get into the groove of the track and special credit has to be given to the extremely dynamic bassline that underscores majority of the song. Towards the mid-dle and end it morphs from a saharan sunset roadtrip track to an increasingly psy-chedelic experience, before ending with a comfortable descent back from outer space.
Rest Well was released early, as a little teaser of what the band had to offer. Packed with intense depth and emotion that builds ten-sion, the track takes head banging to a whole new level.
