Check out what's new on Modsquare: {INTERVIEWS} Wisp Reid Dunn's music is an emotive and funky take on melodic electronic music featuring beats as spastic as they are driving. In his discussion with Chris Jagalla he draws parallels to role playing games and music composition and shares some insights on his early video-game inspirations. http://www.modsquare.com/modsquare_more.php?id=217_0_27_0_M {REVIEWS} V/A: Fourthcity Compilation 2004

to the ridiculous, the world at large can now listen in on the lively, eclectic scene, courtesy of the new collective project, the Fourthcity label. http://www.modsquare.com/modsquare_more.php?id=216_0_29_0_M Conrad Newholmes: Conrad Newholmes EP Described as a "symphonic blend of abstract sounds and arrangements with undeniable rhythms," Newholmes works under the framework of traditional beat culture, while still experimenting in his own unique way. http://www.modsquare.com/modsquare_more.php?id=209_0_29_0_M Sheveks Masada: Hip Hop for Dishwashers Scumballs and Upstarts This 12" delivered under an alias of Conrad Newholmes goes a vastly different route: drum n' bass-influenced beats with a thicker, more claustrophobic feeling. http://www.modsquare.com/modsquare_more.php?id=213_0_29_0_M Jake Fairley: Touch Not The Cat Fairley's sound is consistent and scintillating -- plenty of fuzz and distortion on his fat basslines, crunchy synth-lines, and occasionally layered with treated vocals. http://www.modsquare.com/modsquare_more.php?id=214_0_29_0_M {MUSIC} Watch for the next Modsquare compilation in February with a release party at Sonotheque in Chicago.
