This is the first in a round of reviews. There's techno from DNCN, Adam Jay and Angel Alanis, and a few off the wall, "not quite dubstep but sorta" releases in there from Helixir and Fantastic Mr Fox. And I had to share one of my favorites of late, Wireman, who's bringing the variety and exquisite production. I have been picking up music at a rapid pace this month. I quit smoking, so perhaps I am

OK, not like that perhaps. But I have been off in my own world for a few years now, working and getting life together and all that.But now I feel like I have neglected my duties as a music nerd in letting people know about the good schtuff that should be gracing their ears. So I will be resurrecting this for as long as I can maintain interest (and as long as anyone out there is paying attention

Serious Lurve, an anonymous boy/girl duo in their own kinda serious lurve, first brought us a deep and sexy mix called F.U.C.K. Vol. 1 (which can be found here) earlier this summer. Now they have brought us a little dirtier installment in the (hopefully ongoing) series, with Vol. 2. If Vol. 1 was foreplay, this is getting down to some serious, kinky, zebra print, vibrating bed business. Give

I wanted to focus on a few great producers whose tunes I am nuts about, but who just don't seem to get any recognition. Unsung will be a regular profile series spotlighting names you may not know right now, but you definitely will soon. It's a big world, and lots of great music is being made that doesn't always get heard. The thing about abZ, is that you probably HAVE heard his tunes and didn't

I forgot to ask him what TRG means!! ;)

2008-09-17T01:53:00.006-04:00

Trying to pin down TRG's sound is a foolhardy endeavor. Once you think you have a bead on it, it slips out from underneath your perception and wallops you one in the chest, and you stop caring about what to call it and just start bobbing your head. If there is any one ingredient that stands out, it is a love for complex beat structures over a bed of face-pounding sub bass, but past that

So I haven't been posting much lately, but I have been getting a ton of really great music lately, so I thought I would share my thoughts and reviews on some killer dubsteppish tunes. New stuff on Immerse, Subsolo, 7even Records, Soul Motive, Bare Dubs, Hessle Audio, Revolve:r and a little fresh dub review action as well.

I love free music. I especially love GOOD free music. I bet you do too.Ghostly International just put out this free album of really good tunes, in conjunction with Adult Swim.I like them a lot. You should too. And you should like them on your porch. With a beer. And then you should invite me over you bastards!

Ok, so perhaps it is symptomatic of being a total insomniac and spending my wee hours trolling the nets for music, but I have obviously been on a bit of a mellow kick as of late. Worry not, dear reader (all one of you), I am sure I will find something obnoxiously abrasive to post up soon. But tonight I made a magnificent find that I just had to share. For anyone who is a fan of The Orb, this

...but it requires you to do some work. Just a little, I promise. See, Radiohead is having another little mix "contest", and this fellow Eskmo (who makes pretty neat dubstep tunes as a general rule) made a pretty neat remix. Take a listen and vote here.And if you want to have a copy of this one for your iPod, go ahead and grab it.Radiohead - Nude (Eskmo Remix) But if you take the tune and

You need more Lusine in your life.

2008-04-07T17:08:00.006-04:00

Lusine is the brainchild of Jeff McIlwain for his visceral, melodic vision of abstract electronic music. Having attended Cal Arts to study 20th century electronic music and sound design for music and film, he has since recorded for labels such as !K7/MAS, Hymen, Delikatessen and Isophlux. Since making the move to Ghostly in 2003, Lusine has released Push Remixes, and the Inside/Out EP, as well as
