"Scenesters, Hipsters, Sneakers, Blogs…"
Back in February I uploaded a monster post on Crookers, cramming almost all of their released material into a single post. Back then it seemed like a hefty number of tunes, looking back now it pales in comparison to …
Drop Limes Not Bombs
Over the last six months, I’ve posted predominantly indie-electro, distorted bangers, gnarled electro-tech and fidgety tunes with wonky basslines. I’ve displayed a beset fixation on the likes of the Black Ghosts, Fake Blood, Switch, LA Riots, Justice and Does It …
Pelski’s back…with a little Rico Tubbs…
