This is a debut release on the Macrofonie record label by an Italian musician ASHEN RIID. Previously the artist has released hip hop singles with black metal/horrorcore aesthetics under the pseudonym Yung Belial. This record lands into power electronics in the vein of Whitehouse. I admire genre-hopping artists, so I
Julia Sicone is often compared to Lorde and Halsey. But the roots of her melancholic guitar and cattish vocal can be traced back to the late noughties — the spring of the millennial indie. Like the best specimen of this genre, she’s relatable, sincere, and always ready to make you
It’s pretty common for artists to have passions beyond the music. But it’s not that common for this passion to be medical science. It’s also not that common for a song called “Shawarma” to win the Best Hip-Hop Serenade 4 Valentine’s Day. But the musician-physician Tanaka Mupinga a.k.a.TwiceToasted is up
Before I start this review, just want to say — this might be one of my favorite trap projects of 2016. The Atlanta rapper, Young Thug, brings catchy lyrics, smooth melodies, and strange flows to the table on this work. Young Thug has always reached my expectations, for as long

There are times when I stumble onto recordings that contain certain elements borrowed from my favorite musicians, all packaged in a cohesive whole. The latest EP from a Polish industrial metal band Whalesong is an example of just that. The first side of the EP starts off with huge chunks
Hey-hey! How are you guys doing? It was Easter weekend, but I haven’t keep calm until sharing the best new music with you. Fewer words, more creativities. Let’s get into it! De Kraken Me And The King [electronic/deep house, Rotterdam/Netherlands] This musician is one of the most powerful openings of
Since White Denim’s fantastic and criminally underappreciated 2018 release “Performance” I’ve considered myself a pretty massive fan of the band’s music, even if I was late to the party. These guys have an invigorating blend of swirling, electrifying Psychedelia experimentation and accessible, chorus-heavy Classic Rock revival jams that I haven’t
