Before we get on to Free Love's own musical chaos theory, let's first address their recent name change.

The Scots dance duo - who have been championed by BBC Music Introducing in Scotland by DJ Vic Galloway - dazzled fans and delegates alike at this summer's Great Escape new music festival with their high energy French-sounding electro under the name Happy Meals.

Sitting down to talk on some Brighton beach deck chairs following their performance, Suzie Rodden and Lewis Cook explain the philosophical (and legal) reason why they've opted to change names just as they're beginning to finally make a real name for themselves.

"It felt like an appropriate time for a transformation for us," says Lewis.

"I think there's a power when you close something and open something new up. It feels like there's a new power unlocked, or you've opened up a new door.

"I think the words 'free' and 'love' are so obvious but it just feels right for what we’re doing."

The new name, which came to Lewis "in a vision after a yoga class", may once have belonged to "a Turkish band in the 70s or something."

But, he adds: "In the spirit of free love I think we’re entitled to pick it up."

There was one slightly more legal matter, regarding the old name too.

"There’s an element of that," he laughs.

"At some point Ronald McDonald is gonna be calling, kicking your doors down!"

That exact thing in fact did happen to another similarly-named band HMLTD, so perhaps a wise move after all.

Suzie and Lewis are real life romantic partners as well as bandmates and also - interestingly for an act from Glasgow - improvise a lot of their lyrics in French.

Suzie - who is fluent in the language - believes it perhaps lends itself more to the spirit of creativity and freedom.

"French is such a beautiful poetic language," she explains.

"Although there’ll be French speakers who’ve heard my lyrics going ‘oh...' "

"I don’t think that’s true," adds Lewis, defending his girlfriend's artistic honour.

"You don’t speak French though!" she jokes.

"French has a bit more ambiguity," states Lewis.

“Sometimes in that ambiguity, you strike upon the truth more concisely and it alludes to this experience of chaos a little bit more."

"That’s exactly what I was about to say" agrees Suzie, with a smile.

It's clear the pair, who have been together for 11 years - since they were teenagers - are very much on the same wave length (meditative yoga or otherwise) and will not be shackled by the usual conventions of band names or language.

This applies to their live set too, where they deliberately refuse to make set lists - preferring instead to ride the vibe of the audience, battle with out of tune synthesizers and, where necessary, climb out into the crowd and on top of the bar ("I can't rehearse that," Suzie admits).

Suzie, who like Lewis, learned how to record and mix music at Glasgow's Green Door Studio, external, says: "For us, the chaos is a huge part of what we do - recording and live.

"It’s what feels right in the moment. It’s a nice theme of the band."

Lewis goes on:

"I think with electronic music, there’s a challenge there to overcome and create that element of danger and I think that involves putting yourself in that dangerous situation live and in the studio.

"It has to have a chaos and the possibility that something could go wrong. Forgetting to plug things in... allowing it to go off on that weird tangent.

"That’s where the energy comes from sometimes."

The band are also not above accusing some top DJs of taking shortcuts behind their laptops, confessing they could get away with it themselves but then that wouldn't exactly be in the spirit of Free Love now, would it?

"It’s not outside of our capabilities to turn up and hit play and all the backing tracks are there," says Lewis.

"And it would be so much easier," Suzie agrees.

"We have two huge suitcases [of equipment] that we take everywhere!"

Check out their two new singles, Pushing Too Hard and July (above) and catch them performing alongside fellow Newbie Tuesday acts Matt Maltese, Skinny Pelembe and The Magic Gang at the upcoming Knee Deep Festival, external in Cornwall in September.

Travis has posted a cinematic new trailer video confirming his third studio album, Astroworld, will be with us by the end of the week.

In it, the US singer/rapper, is apparently sent to A-World in a rocket ship and then seen laughing in a trolley while bits of asteroid and fire fly by him, soundtracked by his new beats.

Always good to keep calm in these situations.

One voice from the space command office is heard declaring: "God bless you all - see you in Astroworld".

Indeed you will.

He'll have to make it back down to planet Earth though for his set at Reading + Leeds festival at the end of the month.

He was part of the London dance-punk trio, alongside Dev Hynes, and also recorded as a solo musician.

His death was announced on social media by GunkTV Records.

A cause of death has yet to be confirmed.

Hynes - who is about to release his latest album under the name Blood Orange, said: "Every time I was with you we were 17 again. You were such a gift to this world. The floor has gone and I don’t know where to stand."

She's perhaps better known as an actress, but Jada - who is married to Will Smith - is also a rock star in her own right, recording with her nu-metal band Wicked Wisdom.

They've been out of action for more than five years but, speaking at an event in Hollywood, Jada admitted her and her daughter have been working on a new track.

"I actually have a song with Willow that we did together," she said. "It’s called Dear Father and we are still working on it. But it’s pretty dope.

"Willow has always wanted to do some stuff with me....we’re thinking about doing four songs or something."

That's a pretty musical family as brother Jaden has just released his latest album and Will recorded the official World Cup 2018 song.
