Ivansson – Gotcha!

Ivansson – Gotcha! – Album Review Not to brag or anything…but the independent music-scene has been pretty damn kind as of late.  I’ve had the good fortune of taking in some great tunes over the past week or so – and more or less, it’s all been somewhat ‘outside’ of my normal taste…bands like Dave’s […]Read More

Blackmyth – Remixes By Blackmyth – Album Review Here we go!  I can get behind electro when it’s like this for surely. Somewhere in the middle of EDM and IDM, Blackmyth exists happily, creating glitch-filled edits and wickedly-imaginative remixes that rework the originals into an all-new experience.  This new record, Remixes By Blackmyth, is a […]Read More
