Just a heads up before you hit play on 'Let Me Go,' it doesn't sound like Duke Dumont. That's not a bad thing, in fact it's far from it, but it's a bit of a shake-up for the first minute and a half plus. Initially, it's just Ry X's soft...
Gorgon City has a knack for taking what could easily be a long, sad, and slow ballad and shifting it into a dance anthem that only hurts a little. But in a good way. They’ve accomplished exactly that in their brand new collaboration with Chicago-based duo DRAMA, ‘Nobody,’ out today...
These are trying times with wave upon wave of dismal news, so it was nice to finally see a ray of sun through the murk courtesy of Bicep. In their newest production, ‘Atlas,’ the boys take a step back to survey the wild past couple of years. From the release...
How does it feel to be treated to a stellar, ambitious cover by Above and Beyond? What if that cover is New Order's 1983 classic 'Blue Monday'? Spoiler Alert: It feels really good, particularly on the old ear holes. But you don't have to take my word for it. Further,...
I don't know about you, but I certainly self-medicate with music, and it appears Duke Dumont is hip to it. 'Therapy' is everything I love about House music, cranked to eleven. The soulful vocals, inspirational lyrics, addictive hooks, and a driving rhythm buoy me in a world that seems hell-bent...

I was expecting some kind of "best of" lineup for the decade celebration until EF...
Star-Kid is, as the name sounds, electronic music that's introduced more galaxy-enhanced sweeps with a bass style that brings in elements of both doom and hope right from the start. But, with tracks 'Fog' and further on with 'Flooded' they bring a calmness to the experience to there new project Star-kid...
I received an email this morning announcing a new video release for the song ‘Repetition’ by Max Cooper, and that video was so mindbogglingly cool that it got me out of bed to write about it. It’s that good. As usual, I like to let the artist speak for themselves...
Zhu: “Hmm, who should I work with next?” *throws dart into a record store* “The Bloody Beetroots it is!” Did it really happen that way? Most certainly not. But maybe… As peculiar a combination as it is, it doesn’t hold a candle to the burning pile of WTF that is...
At the end of the night, one thought kept repeating in my mind: Mark Farina is one funky dude. A close second? “I effing love you, Minneapolis.” But that could have been the White Claw talking. (For the more visually-inclined, hit up a full album of pics here) Going in,...
