The 50 best albums of 2018: 50-41

Our countdown of the year’s most exciting music begins with pithy punk, political soul, pagan gospel and mutated rave. Check in every weekday for more

• See our tracks of the year
• More on the best culture of 2018

Nerds get bogged down in taxonomy when discussing Deafheaven – is it metal or not? – but the rest of us can get on with simply revelling in a gigantically heavy band at the peak of their powers. The solos are virtuosic and uplifting, the blast-beats cleansing, and the post-rock ballads so simple and affecting. Still anyone’s guess what George Clarke is roaring about, mind. Read our full review.

Flohio review – frenzied flows from UK rap's most vital new voice

The Art School, Glasgow
The London-via-Lagos MC is small in stature but a giant on the mic, with an astonishing staccato style set to dystopian beats

It’s 1am when Flohio takes the mic. The decks are in the middle of the floor, and SE16’s brightest rapper is balancing on a block to make her small stature visible. Beckoning the eager crowd even closer, she grins: “I wanna make sure I have someone to catch me.”

Born in Lagos and based in Bermondsey, Funmi Ohiosumah has a crooked smile, androgynous style and a powerful, magnetic presence. She dropped her first EP Nowhere Near in 2016 and chased it with infectious, postcode celebrating collaborations with London producers God Colony. Since then, she’s shown genre-defying dexterity through shrewd producer partnerships, from the skittering, bass-heavy minimalism of west Londoner Cadenza to the monstrous energy of Berlin techno innovators Modeselektor. For this Glasgow stop-off on her first headline tour, the bill is curated by trusted local tastemakers OH141.

Underworld review – pulse-pumping euphoria with dank dance superstars

Village Underground, London
The electronic alchemists serve up rich rave manna with tales of love, lust and squalor in a career-spanning set that shows them still at the height of their galloping powers

Those dirty numb angel boys and mega mega white things who are here on a nostalgic trip to the church of lager are welcomed by Karl Hyde with arms spread wide. The ferrety Underworld singer knows full well that Born Slippy .NUXX – the throwaway 1995 B-side that accidentally made them dank dance superstars – defined the narcotic breakdown of the 90s as distinctly as Parklife encapsulated its winking Britpop high; a feverish alcoholic’s diary entry pounding over the closing scenes of Trainspotting like a crackhead heart attack.

So he presents the track’s iconic space echo to the throng at this low-key club show (Underworld’s last London gig was at Alexandra Palace in 2017) like so much rave manna, worshipping the hook with the trancey pose of a synth-summoning shaman. But only at the end of the night, well into the early hours, once Underworld have proved themselves more pivotal electronic alchemists than the one-hit ponies behind Renton’s theme.
