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.

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.

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…]

To celebrate, here’s a colab the man himself did with like-minded beatsmith, Quetzal in 2007. As a general rule, the pair take it in turns on production… [Read more…]
It’s always difficult to decide what album to blog after an absence, but there are few better to return with than 88-Keys’ The Death of Adam, a stonking piece of hip-hop storytelling featuring Kid Cudi, J Davey, Redman, Bilal, Phonte and even Kanye West as guests. The basic premise of the story that the album… [Read more…]
