    Compilation Review: Visceral Minds 2 – Fractal Fantasy

    If you’re even somewhat involved in the club music scene, you probably have heard about Visceral Minds 2. This powerhouse compilation was produced by a total of twenty-six collaborators, all ranging in style, gender, and age — and that “dual-mind” weaving this beast together? Fractal Fantasy founders and life partners, Sinjin Hawke and Zora Jones. The name… [continued]

  • Saint Audio Mixes #027: A L E J A N D R A

    Saint Audio Mixes #027: A L E J A N D R A

    Strap in for a half hour of sonic twists and turns down a bass-filled path in our 27th guest mix. Saint Paul producer A L E J A N D R A is more than buzzworthy; she’s doing things with electronic music that remind me of when Sinjin Hawke and Rustie first burst onto the scene. A… [continued]

  • Essentials: “Favorite (feat. VanJess)” – Brasstracks

    Essentials: “Favorite (feat. VanJess)” – Brasstracks

    Brasstracks teams up with femme duo VanJess for the sultry R&B track “Favorite”. Ivan and Conor never fail to impress with the way they skillfully incorporate jazz elements into their tracks (I’m still listening to “Fever” on repeat).  The change of tempo makes the track interesting to listen to, instead of having the same bass beat for the… [continued]

  • Essentials: “Bedroom Eyes” – Bella Mer

    Essentials: “Bedroom Eyes” – Bella Mer

    As someone who got behind both Halsey and Ellie Goulding before they were mainstream cool, I have to tell you Bella Mer is on course to be my newest addiction. “Bedroom Eyes” is nothing short of intoxicating. A mellow voice guides the song across bold percussion and a solid dance beat. Without losing that ethereal… [continued]

  • Essentials: “There’s A Light In My Room” – Abby Diamond

    Essentials: “There’s A Light In My Room” – Abby Diamond

    It’s a soft ethereal echoing sound that bounces across those early seconds of Abby Diamond’s “There’s a Light In My Room.” Abby Diamond, in this new single, creates a thoughtful sound in the spirit of classic electronica. By the time we hear her voice, we are engrossed in an airy sound, into which her lyrics… [continued]
