Review: Audiowhores – Work It Out
AUDIOWHORES “WORK IT OUT” Peppermint Jam From Manchester’s Audiowhores (Soulfuric/LAY) comes the latest and greatest from German Label Peppermint Jam. This quality production features the powerful vocals of Rashaan Houston and is for late-night dance floor gurus.

Review: Bad Acid Trip – Lynch The Weirdo

Review: [:SITD] – Stronghold
[:SITD:] Stronghold Metropolis 5/5 Originally released on Accession Records, [:SITD:] has become one of my favorite acts to come out in the last few years. It all started with their single, “Snuff Machinery,” on the Septic II compilation on Dependent Records. The infamous Snuff EP created a buzz in 2002, leading people to wonder when
