Stop, Relax, and just “Breathe” with Chris Polcyn

Bay area producer Chris Polcyn knows the value of a good chill out track. There’s something so all-encompassing and inviting about his debut single for Holodeck Records. “Breathe” makes me think of cobblestoned, Parisian streets, the salty scent of The North Sea making its way over rolling green hills, and contemplating life with a loving […]

Dan Drohan Shows His “Strength”; ‘You’re A Crusher/drocan!’ out June 26th

Drummer/composer Dan Drohan lends his percussion talents to many, such as psych rock outfit Olden Folk, Maggie Rogers’ Blood Ballet (an album on which he also served as co-producer), and future pop project Dreamaway. But on his own he makes experimental beat-based music that sounds like Madlib, Battles, Animal Collective, and a touch of Yoshimi-era […]

Get Lost In Ju4N’s Beautiful “Loops For MIDI Pt. 1”

Holodeck Records has put some excitement back into the lives of the music hungry. Something for us to look forward to on Fridays once again. For the past few weeks Holodeck Records has been dropping digital singles from some of the most forward-thinking electronic artists working today. This Friday is no different. Austin-based electronic composer […]

Hunter Complex : Rain In Europe

Lars Meijer has had a pretty amazing song cycle over the last nearly two years. It started in early 2019 with the release of Open Sea on Death Waltz Originals. Then just two months ago he dropped that album’s follow-up, Dead Calm and Zero Degrees on Burning Witches Records. The songs from both LPs were […]

Glitch Out With Pulsecoder’s “Wicked Transmission”

The world shifts a bit when you step into the musical landscape of Kyle Evans, aka pulseCoder. Imagine a digital light show inside the mainframe of an overwhelmed supercomputer. Buzzing homemade electronics cry out as if the hard drive was beginning to liquify. But even despite the chaos that surrounds you, there’s a rhythm. A […]

Quarantine Uploads : Pye Corner Audio

Waiting around at home with your family or over caffeinated dog till this all blows over can be an arduous process. This is more than just a cold spell, or taking an alternate route to work because a bridge is out. This isolation thing is becoming the new norm, and it may continue to be […]

Treebones : Midnight Radio

As a kid I remember on Friday nights I’d stay up late and turn the radio dial to 95.3 out of Niles, MI. It never came in any other time of the week, but for some reason the skies cleared and the analog ghosts blessed the air waves on Friday nights. I’d listen to Metal […]

Jake Schrock : Omnibus

Jake Schrock makes music that seems out of time. He works with a plethora of analog devices that tick, clack, and wheeze sonic spells which transport you to seemingly alternate dimensions. Island rhythms and haunted melodies paint visions of steely shores and chrome waters as double suns set in a nuclear horizon. His 2018 Holodeck […]

“Synths Are Not Nostalgic” : Lars Meijer Talks Hunter Complex’ Newest ‘Dead Calm and Zero Degrees

Lars Meijer works in a sonic world unto himself. You listen to one of his Hunter Complex records and you’ll likely hear something familiar, but within a moment the familiarity fades and you’re hearing something completely unique. Meijer pulls influence from artists as wide-ranging as Mark Isham, Prince, and Guided By Voices. He pulls bits […]

Cole Pulice : Gloam

Cole Pulice is a Minneapolis-based saxophonist who’s musicianship and instrumental prowess has accompanied artists as diverse as Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Bon Iver, and Mild High Club. Pulice also plays in the lo-fi New Age band Iceblink. He’s a solid reed player with an air of eccentricity that gives whatever song he’s on its own […]
