In 2010 Mexico’s legendary ZOMBIEFICATION crawled out the grave with disgust and finally released their long awaited debut album Midnight Stench on CD through Asphyxiate Recordings. Playing a rotten style of death metal that crosses the early Stockholm sound with Mexico’s own proud tradition of ancient cult death metal, you can now experience Midnight Stench on vinyl, the way it was always meant to be experienced. Chaos Records recently made…

We’ve been extolling the virtues of Denmark’s When Saints Go Machine for some time now. Their music is very evocative of specific places and feelings, with a premium on emotional honesty. As such, it’s a pleasure to see their work interpreted by another artist who shares these same qualities. Nicolas Jaar delivers a stirring version of the track, incorporating some wonderful new sonic elements. All of this great music just…
Check out what Mr. Collipark had to say about the new Huntsville MC, Translee… “I got that next thing: Translee. I haven’t signed him; I’m just working with him, ‘cause I don’t wanna taint what he has. I believe in full expression, so I’m just kinda overseeing what he’s doing right now. … I think he’s what’s going on now meets what I do. And what separates him from everybody…

Fish Tank is a film that is interesting on a number of levels. First off, the plot – dealing with dancing as a way to get away from the trials and tribulations of life – provides something that viewers of all stripes can appreciate and understand. Second off, the music choices here (including “Your House” by Steel Pulse, “Juice” by Eric B and Rakim, and “Original Nuttah” by Shy FX)…
It seems like the Dreamcast was perhaps the most unlucky game console. The graphical quality, game play, and library far outstripped the other consoles that it competed with, while controller design and game-save abilities were similarly strong. Sega removed themselves from creating consoles soon after that, but they were able to provide a number of strong ports to the Xbox 360 with their Dreamcast Collection. For those players that were…
Is Outasight on your radar yet? He should be. If you’ve ever enjoyed the soulful flair of Jamie Lidell, fine rhymes of A Tribe Called Quest, lyricism of Talib Kweli or throwback style of Mayer Hawthorne, this is definitely one to pay attention to. The Yonkers, New York bred musician weaves together the cadenced sounds of popular hip-hop and indie rock with the poignant sensibility of classic pop and soul…
The Boom Bang is comprised of a group of young friends from suburban Oklahoma City that play loud, fun music. Creating a combination of garage, surf and punk music not unlike Ty Segall, Jeff The Brotherhood or Thee Oh Sees, the foursome of James Smith (Vocals), Tommy McKenzie (Guitar), Weston Lorance (Bass), and Charles Whetstone (Drums) has been playing together for two years. In that time, the band has managed…

Tour Dates: 03.16.11 – Seattle, WA…

Paul Duncan is currently recording and performing under the moniker Warm Ghost. It finds him taking a step beyond traditional instrumentation and one toward that of electronics, synthesizers, drum machines and processed field recordings. Warm Ghost has now evolved into a band in collaboration with Oliver Chapoy, where the sound is an intricately arranged shimmering sonic world of twisting words and melodies inside dense environments where there are elements of…
