Today we’re excited to present a stunning remix of XamVolo‘s ‘Down’ by MTRNICA, which takes the soulful original and brings an eclectic edge, bringing the resulting track to a much darker place. Keeping it simultaneously true to XamVolo’s style while making it entirely his own, MTRNICA draws on the emotional
If 2016 has indicated anything, it’s that Western civilization is nostalgic for a past that may or may not have existed, and that we’re looking backwards to find hope in our future. The emotional reach that pushed many in the UK to leave the EU and Donald Trump become the
While Coachella is the most notorious name for festivals in Southern California, FYF is coveted as the best for locals and highly regarded as a well-kept secret for underground music fans in the area. With a stellar lineup that includes Kendrick Lamar, Tame Impala, Blood Orange, Hot Chip, Young Thug,
Sanford Parker has long been a lynchpin of the Chicago metal scene. He’s played in the slow and crushing post-sludge outfit Buried At Sea as well as the psychedelic metal band Minsk.

Not unlike some of their fellow DFA recording artists, it can be difficult to tell whether Factory Floor are essentially an elaborate in-joke. The group has declared that 25 25, their first album since the departure of founding member Dominic Butler, is an exercise in “ultra-minimalism”. Well it’s not as
When you think about great break-up albums, it tends to be soppy singer-songwriter stuff that springs immediately to mind. Dylan’s Blood On The Tracks. Bon Iver’s For Emma, Forever Ago. Every Adele album. BUT INSTRUMENTAL ELECTRONICA ARTISTS HAVE FEELINGS TOO, YOU KNOW?! Rival Consoles is the alias of London-based producer
If there’s one word that most accurately describes Jackmaster’s DJ antics, it would have to be ‘unpredictable’. Whether it’s a deliciously cheesy Tweak-a-Holic set, an already cult Boiler Room b2b with Armand Van Helden, spreading Ibiza vibes with J.E.S.u.S., making everyone’s favourite end-of-the-year round-up in the form of a Mastermix,
It seems like it was only yesterday when the name Shura popped up in my Facebook news feed with the snog-tastic video for ‘Touch’. To slightly paraphrase the lyrics of the song, I can’t believe that it’s been two years, and I also can’t believe that at the time the
MJ Guider is the recording alias of New Orleans resident Melissa Guion. She released a 5-track cassette of self-described Melissa and machines music in early 2014. Since then, MJ Guider has evolved into a three-piece band for performance purposes, albeit one whose musicians remain “outnumbered by electricity-powered participants.” Soon enough,
