Tarot Chords lay before you to conjure more than what we currently have. They tell of a future unlike our own. A future we're in dire need of. The tale of renaissance and the cold rediscovery of the creative spirit. Witch house, drag, ghost drone, dark wave, dark snyth, witch bass, zombie rave and sometimes even seapunk will find their way into the notes of this feature. These sounds are brought to "life" by composers who not only to test the boundaries of music today, but most importantly the paradigms that envelope it. That's what makes this [...]

Picture an anxious Dave Nada just about to step behind the decks of a lil cuzz's basement house party in the suburbs of summer DC. It's a school day, but the kids are out and a handful of brews have them wasted as fuck wildin' out to dead reggaeton beats. But Dave, 1 half of Nadastrom, plays house. A genre opposite in the bpm spectrum, with a whole different groove and attitude. The last thing on his mind is clearing a dancefloor and imploding the spicy vibes of a sweaty basement filled with jail [...]
J'ai bien pris mesure de l'importance d'Unicorn Kid et ses tidal raves, mais le #seapunk m'échappe tellement il file vite (plus vite que l'electro Shangaan, c'est dire), en plus de ne pas quitter les eaux de Los Angeles. Toute précision est la bienvenue.
Here at Earmilk not only do we love bringing you the freshest new tunes from genres you love, but we also like exposing new emerging genres. Seapunk is a funky, bass and juke like genre that uses samples from video games and other sea like movies, music, etc. Fire For Effect is a Los Angeles based Sea Punk producer and loves the sound of liquid, tranquil, and ocean sounds. It's very difficult to describe what Seapunk exactly is. Either way these tunes are fresh, so have a listen. Check out Coral Records [...]

As the American summer plunges into hurricane season, Coral Records Internazionale is taking the beach party indoors and straight to the nearest subwoofer. The new label, created by Midwestern DJ and producer Fire For Effect, features tracks and visuals defined as #seapunk —a tumblr and twitter buzzword that indicates loose expectations of compositions influenced by the serenity of the water world. A fair share of ambient synths and familiar breaks make a big splash on '#Seapunk Compilation Volume 12, Coral Records' forthcoming first release. UNKNOWN, an alias of Kansas City-based producer Huerco S., blends nature sounds, Jungle [...]

Firstly, let me just say amongst the list of words you should never use are Darkwave and Graver . Unless you are Das Ich, Project Pitchfork or an actual Darkwave band, using Darkwave 'cos you think it's cool as it has the words Dark and Wave in it just make you look ignorant and needy. Graver , on the other hand, is one of the most embarrassing terms ever conceived. Both words were used in Fire For Effect 's press release…shudder. So it's [...]

Albert J, also known as Fire For Effect , originally from Kansas City, and now residing in L.A., is the resident dj at a successful ware-house party known as Botnet. He has been touring as support dj under the name SSION with CSS and Fisherspoone r, so his resumé is quite impressive. So down to the music, this is very original, I'll start with that. Think gothic mixed with some club, throw in some aggressive house and then some very cool arranged vocals. Also known as Dark-wave Grave (as in "grave" and [...]
