OP31ST Presents : Quarantine Cuts Volume Two

Outpost 31 Studios have returned, this time with Quarantine Cuts Volume Two. Volume One dropped back in July and was a glorious patchwork of sonic delights created during the big bummer known as 2020. Artists doing what they do, creating art. In the midst of Orwellian isolation, songs were created as a means of coping […]

Shortwave Broadcaster : In Flow

Keith Canisius’ musical word as Shortwave Broadcaster is an all-encompassing one. With a guitar and a Eurorack he builds these towering sonic landscapes that paint monolithic sounds, both tempered in darkness and light. He captures the vibe of classic Komische artists like Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, and also early Windham Hill albums. New age, ambient, […]

Lisa Bella Donna : Mourning Light

On the latest release from electronic wizard Lisa Bella Donna, titled Mourning Light, the forward-thinking musician is captured live at The Vanderelli Room / Art Gallery. This performance was a special one as Lisa Bella Donna improvised on a Mellotron & Moog as artist AJ Vanderelli painted inside a 20ft clear plastic room, painting from the […]

Repeated Viewing : The Family

Leave it to the maestro Alan Sinclair to elevate us all with a sickly sinister slab of synth. As Repeated Viewing, Sinclair has created a vast library of imagined scores to films that seem to have been torn from my own twisted imagination. As far as dark, heavy synth music goes Repeated Viewing raises the […]

Dogs Versus Shadows : The Importance Of Elsewhere

Producer Lee Pylon’s dogs versus shadow project is not for the average passing listener. Less an album of electronic music and more like transmissions from the beyond, his Waxing Crescent Records debut The Importance of Elsewhere is skittering static and disembodied voices from another dimension. It’s as if Pylon opened lines of communication with realms […]

Burial Grid Returns With New Album ‘Shores of Quiddity’; Listen To “Biphasic”

East coast musician Adam Michael Kozak, aka Burial Grid, is returning to fill our ears and minds with new electronic music in the form of Shores of Quiddity. The album is a departure from Burial Grid’s previous LP, the dark, vocoder-heavy We’ve Come For Your Flesh which came out at the beginning of 2021. While […]

Salvatore Mercatante : Tre Sfere

Before the ink could dry on his last release, New York-based musician and composer Salvatore Mercatante has released a new album. Right off the heels of his Soundtracking The Void album Presents Pistacchio Sessions, Mercatante now presents us with Tre Sfere which is being released by Woodford Halse. Where PPS concentrated on more dance floor […]

Outpost 31 Studios Presents : Quarantine Cuts Vol. 1; Listen To First Single “Moonhouse”

There’s a special little place located in OKC that may be a physical spot, or maybe just a tattered spot in our minds we go to reflect called Oupost 31 Studios. It’s a spot where you can find ethereal music always playing just under your thoughts and imagination. Music that feels as if it escaped […]

Alessandro Cortini : Scuro Chiaro

Alessandro Cortini is an Italian-born musician who came to the US to study guitar at the Musicians Institute. He turned to keyboards and synths after graduating and never looked back. He’s the guy bands bring in when they need someone versatile to take on tour, or to help in the studio. He’s worked with Muse, […]

“To Finally Be Born”: Hattie Cooke Talks Bliss Land, Songwriting, The Future

I first heard Hattie Cooke from her excellent imagined soundtrack The Sleepers(Spun Out Of Control). It stood apart from so many in that genre in that it was as much this loose, emotion-driven dance album as it was world building. Though, it very much built a world to live in and experience at both an […]
