It’s been no secret ’round here of my love for Baltimore’s Height With Friends . Baltimore Highlands was aces in my book and the remix album just released a little while ago through Aural States was fresh too.

Her songwriting chops are superb (think female version of Andrew Bird or even a…read more

Brooklyn DJ Mux Mool has just released a new EP Viking Funeral , his first output via Ghostly International . Oh and it’s free. It’s an amalgam of beats, tracks, edits, and live cuts he’s sorted into a fine musical collection. My favorite so far has been a live cut called “Ladies Know”. I…read more
