Shares His
Quarantine Soundtrack
Like many other restless musicians, Arnaud Rebotini hasn’t let quarantine life drag him down. If anything, he’s turned its rules and regulations into a self-imposed artist residency — a carte blanche call to creativity when everything else is out of our control anyway. The takeaway between March and May was Rebotini’s This is a Quarantine […]

Us a Chill-Out Mix
Words + Mix C. LAVENDER Photo CHRIS WOZ In the early morning of New Years Day this year, I was DJing ambient music in a room which became a crucial mental and physical resetting space for a tech-house party’s 5,000+ attendees. Through the night I had been witnessing the wild mass of people move through […]
Mike Slott Makes
Us a Companion Mix
To His Vignettes EP
Photo ERIC COLEMAN Vignettes isn’t the first time Mike Slott has made cinematic music. The LA producer first unveiled a teaser of a four-track EP (Mirror I Mirror) in 2016, setting in motion “short musical meditations for headphones [and] reflection” that sparkled and faded away much too fast. Slott’s first LuckyMe record in more than a […]

Makes Us a Mix

HOLLY HERNDON – FADE [RVNG INTL] Wonderful vocal processing. DANIEL AVERY – ALL I NEED [PHANTASY SOUND] The right flow with less elements. […]

Shares New Single,
Visible Cloaks Remix
Photo ANNIE FOREST Having recently had his breakthrough record (2017’s Broken Access LP) reissued through Arts & Crafts, the ever-prolific Theo Alexander is finally ready to shift his focus towards new music.

The Music That Moves…
Ian William Craig
It doesn’t take much for Ian William Craig to turn us into a blubbery mess. Often building immense pieces from nothing but his multi-tracked voice and a tangled web of tortured synth tones and decaying tape decks, the classically trained opera singer is about as devastating as vocal drones get. Craig’s latest album (Red Sun […]
