    THE ARCHIVE: GLOWSTONE – II (spotlight: ANNIHILATE + HANDFUL)

    DO YOU LIKE GETTING PUNCHED IN THE GUT BY BASS? DO YOU LIKE DRIVING WAY TOO FAST IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT? DO YOU WANT TO JUST SCREAM FOR THE FUN OF IT? IF YES TO ANY OF THESE DO I HAVE THE PERFECT ALBUM FOR YOU. GLOWSTONE is the collaborative side project of…

  • THE ARCHIVE: han.irl<3 & Atlas In Motion – ih8usm!

    AuraLink has a lot of moving parts, but truth be told it is mostly run off of peach Monster Energy, and han.irl<3. It is no exaggeration to say that Han’s catalog has been hugely important to the existence of AuraLink, in fact her current long-term album rollout was a huge reason I wanted to get…

    THE ARCHIVE: iglooghost – Spawn01 ft. Cyst

    Sometimes when it rains, it pours. And when it’s raining toxic creatures from the depths of the ocean, it… Well to be honest I’m not sure what it does then, but that’s the conditions under which iglooghost’s experimental masterpiece Tidal Memory Exo was set. This album was one of my top albums last year, and…

    THE ARCHIVE: MADI – HORROR NITE

    The biggest issue with developing obscenely specific and niche taste in music is that by doing so you have made it so, so so so so unreasonably hard to find new things within that niche. As someone with a weekly ritual to find new music you’d think maybe I’d be exempt from that proble, but…

    THE ARCHIVE: sennoh – same but different* (1+2)

    My favourite party trick is that I can make decent estimates on how old someone is based on what their all-time favourite pop songs are. It’s not a particularly useful skill, but it’s occasionally quite fun when you clock someone to a tee because they talk about how much they love The Black Eyed Peas.…

    The Archive: Olivia Brown – 44 w vine

    It’s not often a song leaves me feeling longing for something that I’m not even able to put my finger on, but weirdly enough, that’s where I find myself today. Through a mix of analog fuzz, detuned doubles, and slow enveloping bass progressions, I sit here in my room wanting more. But more what? I…

    THE ARCHIVE: login – confusion

    11 out of 10 doctors would probably maybe agree that a little bit of screaming is healthy in your day to day life. While I may not actually know 10 doctors to ask, it’s an observation I’ve made over time through music and the way that really letting loose during your daily commute can have…

    THE ARCHIVE: J Sutta – Forever ft. Meek Mill (Shawn Wasabi Remix)

    There are 3 songs that aren’t on Spotify that live rent free in my head at all times. 1 of them is a TruePilot demo from 2020 that never came out, one of them is a secret, and the third one is this. Shawn Wasabi was someone who played a huge role in developing my…

    THE ARCHIVE: j<3 – drugs don’t matter

    Every once and a while during my infinite search for new music I stumble upon something that on first listen (and every subsequent listen after) causes me to get excited and physically jam out. It is, to be blunt, completely embarrassing if anyone is around to see (as I have literally no moves), but it’s…

    THE ARCHIVE: BABii – Theft Act 1968

    I think its a universal experience to think you’d listened to an album all the way through, only to discover you had missed one or two tracks. Lo and behold, those two tracks end up being even better than all the others every single time, without fail. Well imagine my surprise being 90% done with…
