A new documentary on the history of the UK rave is set to be released this month. Directed by MOBO-nominated Hugo Jenkins, Better Days: The Story of UK Rave will be available through Amazon Music's streaming service from 28th May, and will explore 30 years of raving in Britain, spanning the late-80s Second Summer of Love through to concerns surrounding illegal gatherings during the pandemic, and questions about the future of the scene. Artists and figures featured include veterans such as Orbital's Paul Hartnoll, Colin Dale, Terry Farley and Luke Unabomber, alongside contemporary artists like Afrodeutsche, Prospa and TSHA. Past DJ Mag cover stars Denis Sulta and Sherelle also make appearances, as do a number of soundsystems, promoters and free party crews. The documentary also features a bespoke score by Overmono, alongside two exclusive cuts: Orbital ‘Chime’ (Special Request Remix) and Dance System 'Better Days feat. Rush Davis'
(Pocket-lint) - Amazon is updating Amazon Music with a new Car Mode feature that makes the mobile app easier to use while driving. Car Mode is basically a pared-down version of the existing interface, complete with larger buttons and quick access to suggested playlists, albums, and Alexa. Once enabled, Car Mode shows to halves: The top of your phone offers playback controls, while the bottom has music suggestions you can tap or swipe between. To go completely hands-free, you can activate Alexa in the bottom corner with a tap or by using a voice command. Apart from that, Car Mode doesn’t add anything new. It simply reworks the UI to make it safer for you to find music or playlists to play without having to take your focus off from driving or the road ahead of you. Amazon Music can be set to bring up Car Mode as soon as your phone connects to your car’s Bluetooth. If you have an older car without Bluetooth, Car Mode can also be enabled in settings within the Amazon Music mobile app.
