PIAO – if i am me, then who are you?
The art direction chosen by artists continues to be one of the most fascinating things I get to observe. It really is such a peek into the mind that created the song you’re listening to, even if sometimes I can’t necessarily make sense of what the takeaway should be. For instance: the new PIAO. 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…

Every Good song that came out while I was hiding in hell
Contrary to what most people think, the world does not revolve around them. It would actually be a huge inconvenience if it did, because the world revolving around the sun is a particularly important thing for maintaining the day-night cycle, but I digress. You may have noticed that AuraLink briefly disappeared, which was the direct…

Lasse Slott – Hold Lidt Øje
It’s said that art transcends language, and that at its core it’s about how it makes you feel. It’s a deep sentiment about the moving power of artistic expression and how it cuts past verbal mediums down to emotion at its core, which is all well and good, but admittedly I’m a bit of a…

abscond – lexington station
It’s not a secret that there’s a weird amount of overlap between the remnants of the hyperpop movement and the resurgence of the punk movement in recent years. Despite being incredibly different from a sound perspective, there’s a lot of the same emotional sentiments in its counter-culture core that has lead of lot of artists…

AI music is making my job so god damn hard
An Editorial by someone unqualified to talk about… you know what screw that I am qualified to talk about this one. There is a lot of talk at any given time about how AI is coming to take our jobs. As a music journalist, music producer, and advertising student, I’m kinda boned on all 3…

Intentions – https (Spotlight: jikkou suru)
I believe it was Abraham Lincoln who said, “if your bass bumps hard enough, they will come”, and any time I hear an Intentions project it’s an inspirational quote that comes to mind. Sound design is an artform within production that many dabble in, but few truly master in the way this Michigan man with…

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…

sheidA – P.A.R.T.Y
There’s a consistent narrative in the cultural zeitgeist that young people have zero desire to drink, club, party, and go out at large. It’s an insight I hear incredibly often, but despite even seeing the numbers to back it up, I can confidently say that it’s largely false (or at least blown out of proportion).…

Bryce Bishop – Exit
“This is going to be the first summer of our lives.” One of the most beautiful sentiments in the world. It both means nothing and everything all at once. It sets the tone for the new Bryce Bishop mixtape “Exit” perfectly. Not only is it a great callback to “Spark” (One of my favorite projects…
