Perspective

A guy died at work yesterday. I didn’t know him. He was a contract worker who had only been at our facility for a couple of weeks. He was on the shop floor running one of the CMM machines. I barely know a handful of machinists, and ones I’ve worked with(generally speaking) for the last […]

Rob Mazurek & Exploding Star Orchestra : Dimensional Stardust

I won’t pretend to understand completely what’s happening on Dimensional Stardust, but what I do know for sure is that it moves me. Pulling from abstractionism, avante garde, and otherworldly vibes, this album feels like finding something obscure and alien only to stare at it long enough to find beauty in the unknown. Rob Mazurek […]

Premiere : Watch Mines Falls’ Darkly Surreal Video For “From Behind Glass”

2020 took its toll on so many, both from those that suffered from Covid-19 to the family members that watched their loved ones deal with it(and in many cases lose that fight alone in a hospital bed.) Besides the actual virus itself, there was an overwhelming paranoia and dread we all dealt with, in-particular those […]

Darse & My Flower : Adore

I won’t pretend to know much about dance music. Techno, acid, house EDM, IDM, there’s just too much information to cram in my late 90s 256GB brain. But following record label Soundtracking The Void I’ve expanded my electronic musical palate quite significantly. For example, their newest release is Darse & My Flower’s Adore. This is […]

Jeff Parker : Suite For Max Brown

I’m a year late to this party, but I’m so glad I finally arrived. Jeff Parker’s Suite For Max Brown is nothing short of brilliant. A coming together of jazz, hip hop, experimental sound collages, and an almost futurist psychedelia that brings to mind the best of 70s fusion that sought to open our brains […]

Burning Tapes Drops Surprise “Odds On Evil”

If you tuned into my conversation with Darren Page a couple weeks ago you’d know that he has a brand new BurningTapes album just waiting to drop and blow your minds. The co-runner of Burning Witches Records and mastermind behind the electronic project BurningTapes wrote and recorded this new LP over the last couple years […]

“Connection With The Machine” : The Wired World of Polypores’ Stephen James Buckley

Stephen James Buckley, aka Polypores, makes electronic music that sits just on the cusp of chaos. He builds synthetic worlds and narratives with the modular synth, an unpredictable machine that while it may never be tamed completely it can be controlled just enough to blow open minds. The unpredictability and exploratory nature of the instrument […]

Nigel Mullaney : The Navigator

If the name Nigel Mullaney doesn’t ring a bell, it’s because for a good portion of his career he’s worked behind the scenes. You may not have heard of his name, but more than likely you’ve heard his work via Netflix, DC, Marvel, AMC, Fox, HBO and the BBC. His work as an in-session programmer […]

Late Night Drive : The World Of Correlations’ ‘Aftermath’

An instrumental synth cover of Elliot Smith’s “Angeles”. How does that sound to you? Well if you’re not sure all you need to do is hit play on Correlations’ cover of the classic Smith track to know it sounds pretty amazing. That cover, along with ten other original synth-heavy compositions make up the 2018 album […]

Polypores : Chaos Blooms

Hitting play on a Polypores album is like opening a door and you find yourself staring into a black hole. Or an alternate dimension where reality is rewriting itself in front of your eyes. The modular synth world of Stephen James Buckley is this magnificent madness in circuital form. Sounds emanating from patch cords, envelope […]
