Review: Various Artists – Persuasive Experimentations Vol. 1 – Roach...

Review: Teengirl Fantasy – Nun EP
This duo, comprised of Logan Takahashi and Nicholas Weiss, make quite a cohesive pair. “Eric” stands out to me as the strongest track on this EP, launching into a heavy drum and bass breakdown. Nun EP is fairly mellow and more downbeat, which ends up working as either a perfect warm-up or cool-down to an evening. … read more

Review: Poliça – Shulamith

Review: Haim – Days Are Gone
The simple kick drum and offsetting claps will keep this track stuck in your head for days. But “My Song 5” is a bit darker and slower. Choppy and squelchy, this track possesses aspects of a grimy club track, which made it my favorite Haim piece to date. … read more
Review: Green Velvet – Unshakable
This album is ahead of its time, and I’ve got a feeling that these tracks are going to be snaking their way into the club for at least the next decade, which, to be honest, is close to 100 years in the EDM culture. It is pure, unapologetic insanity—it’s THAT fucking good. … read more

Review: Anoraak – Chronotropic
The three-piece band possesses the stereotypical French nu-disco sound that seems to be rising in popularity these days.
