Haunted Disco ~ Enter Through The Exit

Haunted Disco is the alias of 19 year old Matthew McMurry. His spirited Enter Through The Exit mixes light rock with dream-pop and experimental music with electronica. Haunting the rather terrifying photograph is a lone figure sketched in black, standing in the doorway

Department ~ Late Nights

“As soon as I heard jazz, I knew it was the music for me.”  Late Nights is a lovely little tape, a love letter to jazz via electronics and sampling.  The set contains a clear narrative arc, represented by dialogue snippets

Cooly G ~ Hold Me

Brixton’s Cooly G has, with her Hold Me EP, produced a delectable slab of deep house. Hold Me isn’t just the suggestive flirt on the other side of the bar – it is a demand, the fulfillment of an inner urge that

Abstractive Noise ~ of the Adder’s Bite

First impressions are everything.  Anja Millen’s cover character is masked and mysterious, intimating a dark and dangerous album.  The title of the album implies a lethal blow.  And while of the Adder’s Bite won’t kill anybody (we hope), it may frighten

Zebrat ~ Fairyland

sbsst ~ Pillar of Ire

I’m not too familiar with the Electronic music scene in Ottawa. However, from the sounds of Pillar of Ire, a self-released mini-album from sbsst (aka Eric Moore), I’d say folks there are catching up to the lust of their neighbors

Phantom Love ~ Crave For Lust

Phantom Love is the pseudonym of Italian experimental artist Valentina Fanigliulo. Crave For Lust is a dark, shrouded beast that shirks the light. Light, minimal beats echo through to the other side, through the thick fog of reverb. The fangs have just enough
