Crystal Castles – Crystal Castles (2010)

Crystal Castles, also known as Crystal Castles II  is the second studio album by… you guessed it, Crystal Castles. It’s textural, inspired and mixes light and dark together, with chiptune inspired production from Ethan Kath, and gloriously distorted (and at times inaudible and/or incomprehensible) lyrics from Alice Glass. Great stuff. DOWNLOAD

Borgore Ruined Dubstep. He said it, not me. Dubstep was meant to be like this, filthy yet effortlessly creative. No-one’s caused so much offence and stirred up such controversy since Eminem or 2 Live Crew, but yet musically Borgore stays on point. The EP kicks of with Nympho, which is certainly be a shock for… [Read more…]

    Expect big things from this man, and watch this space, because Dean Bentley, aka Hourglass Sea, is on fire. Time after time, without fail, Hourglass Sea delivers. Glittering riffs, sparkling glitches, bass that blows Hudmo out of the water, and a phenomenal amount of intelligent layering, that demands replay after replay. LA Lights… [Read more…]

Hudson Mohawke -Satin Panthers

Hot damn, Hudson steps it up here. I always thought that Butter, his first LP, whilst good, didn’t do him the same amount of justice as his earlier works. This EP seems to add further weight to the notion that his music is best suited to the short release formats, where his creative energy can… [Read more…]

The basic premise of the story that the album… [Read more…]
