Pa Salieu is on the cover of DIY’s October 2021 issue

Having already proven himself as a remarkable force within rap - earning the BBC Sound of 2021 title, as well as being nominated for the BRITs Rising Star award among other plaudits - there’s no denying that Pa Salieu has become one of the UK’s most exciting young stars. And so, following the recent release of his ‘Afrikan Rebel’ EP, it felt like the perfect time to speak to the Coventry-via-Gambia artist, and discover exactly how he found himself using music to reconnect with his motherland.

Elsewhere this month, we delve into psychedelic club culture with Parquet Courts, as they continue to surprise with their new album ‘Sympathy For Life’, and head up to Biffy Clyro’s farm studio to talk their unexpected new album ‘The Myth of the Happily Ever After’. We also dive into the wonderfully technicolour world of Remi Wolf, rendezvous with TikTok’s favourite troubadour Matt Maltese (and ruin his suit in the process), and meet the incredible Joy Crookes to talk her debut.

Plus, we get the goss on MUNA’s newest music and what’s set to come next from the trio, discover Talk Show’s most recent sonic forays and have a catch up with Cherry Glazerr’s Clementine Creevy.

Desperate to dive in? Well luckily for you our new issue is available to read online RIGHT NOW. Love the sweet sweet smell of print? Order your very own physical copy of the mag and it’ll come whizzing through your letterbox within the next seven days.
