With music production software is now ubiquitous and available to anyone with a smartphone, tablet, and/or PC, some amazing esoteric sub-sub-sub-genres and online communities have emerged that deserve attention (i.e. vaporwave, aestheic, simpsonwave, club bathroom remixes, and lo-fi anything, etc.). As a producer, it’s all so very fascinating, especially given that my productions over the last […]

This is a hard-to-find classic release by a relatively unknown band from the 1980s. The Comsat Angels undoubtedly had a ton of influence on 80s new wave sonics and mood.

Student protests and a rising youth culture gave way to the angura (short for “underground) movement that thrived on subverting traditions of the post-war years. Rejection […]

The mixes and cadre of DJ curators mix wide-ranging genres including vintage latin sounds, which is my favorite genre of Radio Cómeme mixes in the more […]

Until every track, sample, stem, digital image, etc. is watermarked or Blockchain enabled, we have the advantage of listening to expertly crafted mixes from true crate diggers like Flakka (Flávio Freitas), from Porto, Portugal. I have had the extreme good fortune to be in his presence many times, along with his cadre of fellow diggers […]
