Ice Dragon's debut The Burl, The Earth, The Aether has been compared by many to Black Sabbath's self titled and Electric Wizard's Dopethrone, and it's really not hard to see why. Taking many cues from the titans that preceded them, Ice Dragon weaves a solid, dynamic album that is dismally bleak and oppressively heavy, all the while retaining a spaced out atmosphere. The album as a whole flows and progresses really well; the pace is staggered with crescendos and dotted with dynamic changes in both riffs and tone which moves the album along and a lumbering jaunt, [...]

Between Madlib, Daedelus, and the Gilberto Gil-appreciation society, the last several years have been rife with producers chopping Brazilian samples to their own ends. So the exchange of ideas becomes properly symbiotic with 19-year old Pazes releasing his debut, The Southpaw EP, next week on San Antonio's Exponential Records. Weaned on his father's rock and bossa nova collection, the Brasilia native has incorporated beatz and bass into his country's native rhythms. The results amalgamate delicate Portuguese ballads with the mercury-poisoned funk you'd expect to hear at the [...]

One of my favourite eclectic electronic and hip hop artists from San Antonio, Texas produced a remix to Lykke Li's Little Bit way back in the day that I'm just re-stumbling across now. Aether is that man. The one and only who brought us Makeshift Sanctuary and Orfeu Negro . And while he may not have touched up the vocal samples found in Little Bit , it's the newly designed backdrop that hits me in all the appropriate places. He has an [...]

Cover By Dan Love Artifacts , the debut solo record from San Antonio producer Aether , was last year's most underrated beat record. Come list time (it finished at a too-low #46), I claimed that few artists were as accurately defined by their name. In Greek myth, Aether is the personification of space and heaven, and Diego Chavez's music successfully embodies that notion with its celestial strings and samples and bedrock of breakbeats that come loose from their moorings and drift off into the void. Collecting the splintered [...]

Sonofilia , el festival electrónico en Guadalajara, ya ha empezado a soltar los primeros nombres que conformarán el cartel de la edición 2009.

Sin embargo, esa misma vez los organizadores prometieron volver en 2009 y así lo han cumplido. Hasta ahora se han anunciado cuatro actuaciones : DJ Shadow , Fischerspooner , [...]

Snow is an integral part of the character of NYC. A city teeming with transplants, you get this collective anxiety right after a fresh snowfall, as the winter drags on with throngs of people hotly anticipating 100 degree days that smell of dog piss and uncollected garbage. Nah, if you ask me, summer in the [...]
