One of 2020’s greatest ironies was a surge in dance music ~ while clubs were being shuttered across the globe. The surge reflected the desire to dance, and people didn’t stop dancing, happily demonstrated by Berlin’s drive-in raves. Others danced

Ricardo Donoso ~ Re_Calibrate
Re_Calibrate is the counterpart to 2018’s Calibrate, an industrial album that has aged particularly well. The rounded geometrical shapes on the cover have been replaced by angles, but the sense of drama remains intact; if anything, it’s been amplified. This is the

Ricardo Donoso ~ Calibrate
With Calibrate, Ricardo Donoso continues to offer the best of 21st-century industrial dance music. Preserving the sci-fi and factory tinges of 80s industrial, he adds THX-volume drama and grime-tinged, off-kilter beats, resulting in a sound unique to this era. “Rendering the Ineffable” is

ACL 2015: Top Ten Drone
Extended tones form the basis of Drone, a category that can be as soft as a refrigerator hum or as loud as the military plane that adopted its name. But there’s so much more to the genre than simple extension.

Ricardo Donoso ~ Machine to Machine
Ricardo Donoso is difficult to define. On the one hand, he’s part of the wild experimental duo Perispirit; on the other, he’s the curator of the Kathexis label, whose last release was Alex Menzies’ subtle soundtrack to Order & Disorder. Then
