Kryshe ~ Insights

Insights by Kryshe is a wonderful surprise. I had no prior knowledge of the artist, or how the music might sound. But after I listened to it, I was happy I knew nothing at all beforehand. While the music is

Umor Rex ~ March Batch

Werner Urban ~ Dworzac Towarowy

Dworzac Towarowy is a catchy record with an unusual construction: a set of field recordings rearranged into dance shapes.  For comparison’s sake, think Coldcut’s “Natural Rhythm”, but with dominant percussion.  The head starts to bob, the feet to tap as soon
