{feature}Laptronica 3: The Thunderdome Matches
In a warehouse on the quiet side of town, Laptronica shattered
expectations of the typical laptop performance as mayonnaise, monkey
get-ups and electronic rhythms blurred the line between performance and

After over two decades of mainstream music composition and creation
software we have begun to see the next generation of operating systems

{tech review}The Auto Card Manager
The Auto Card Manager (ACM) is a gadget-fetishists wallet replacement.
Six cards are immediately at your deployment by sliding the corresponding
button. Paying for things becomes dangerously easy. Who would have thought
that the design of a wallet could be directly correlated to higher credit

{music review}Aphex Twin: 26 Mixes for Cash

{music review}V/A: Brooklyn Keeps On Takin It
Brooklyn Keeps on Takin It grew out of a series of musical soirees held

{music review}Miles Tilmann / Larvae: sub:702
This is a substantial 7-inch, in multiple senses of the word. Not only is
it physically heavy, weighing in at a beefy 70grams, it makes for
interesting drama that these two artists were chosen to share this tiny
dorm-room of a record. READ MORE:

{music review}V/A: Grounded Sound
So it fits that Grounded Records' first compilation, and second release,
is a fascinating collection of really interesting music, but of mostly
unknown artists. The music comes first. READ MORE:

{music review}Ova Looven: 58:34
So Ova Looven is my new favorite band, and the album "58:34" is my new
favorite listen. I feel utterly alone but know that everything will be all
right because their music will see me through my adolescence...
