Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Silvester hasn't really made a name for himself yet, purely because he hasn't been able to pick one. Having released 20-odd EPs under nearly as many names, he's now settled on his own for his debut album. It keeps up a pretty steady tech-house rhythm but never settles into any one groove, so there are moments where things don't quite gel. But he gets it right more often than not. The filtered French sound of Remember Me and the hypnotic 2-Step of And On and On stand out, and best of all is Monkey which blends house rhythms with dub textures and gets the best out of both. Remember Tom's name; you might start hearing it more often.
