If I were to ask you to come up with the makings of a party atmosphere, you probably wouldn’t respond with ‘Minneapolis on a Wednesday night’ in your first thousand answers. It might impress you, then, to know that Wednesday in Minneapolis is exactly where Gorgon City’s party played out....
RL Grime is back with his annual Halloween mix, two hours of the spookiest, darkest, droppingest tracks he can find. A perfect backdrop for adding those finishing touches to your costume, or for the last-minute mania for those of us who are better at procrastinating than, well, anything. Not much...
As soon as I saw the tracklist for George FitzGerald's sophomore record, All That Must Be, my mind focused on one track in particular, 'Half-Light - Night Version' featuring Tracey Thorne, for a couple of reasons. Most of my excitement was due to Tracey Thorne's return to the electronic music...
If your musical taste is heading in a experimental / memory inducing house music, then this Russian producer is your muse, the first thing I noticed is the great dynamics to WaveStrips style, from the Deep house electro to alternative and experimental, all this with the 80s FamiTracker style sounds...

The first time I heard the booming, hyper-cathartic horn and drum part of this track was at Odesza's Coachella 2015 set. I'd had it up to 'here' (motions a height taller than himself) with the desert heat and the walking and the impossible crowds, so I opted to take in...
The other two times I’ve seen Nora En Pure play were in the dark and sweaty confines of the Yuma tent at Coachella and nested deep in the trees at Electric Forest. Suffice to say, this was a drastically different looking and behaving crowd than the ones at those earlier...
