All photos: Robert Jacobs Get Ponytail's entire set at Beatbots A/V Club! Compression have been around for a while (1993 to be exact). To quote front-man Greg Scelsi "probably before most of you could drive." They started the night on a solid, forceful note. Being the first hardcore (with plenty of metal flavorings) band I've probably seen in about a year, I can say they have a fury about them. Their sound is a truly [...]

Originally released in 1992 and produced by three of Techno's most celebrated figures (Jeff Mills, Mike Banks and Robert Hood), X-102 discovers the Rings of Saturn is something of a classic. Even on my 3rd generation dub of questionable quality, it still sounds like something beamed in from the future and hasn't left my MP3 player since I managed to track it down. Taking it's cue from the space probes venturing deep off into the Solar System; tracks were named after Saturn's moons and rings, the music capturing a real sense of the cosmic whilst always [...]

Alexa's Take: On a Sunday, I was curious to see what crowd would show for this rainy summer night of punk-ish madness. Sonar introduced Ratsize, leading the show with a loud, messy performance, including a cover of the Adolescents' "No Way". Lead vox Pat Martin put on a pretty good show, ramming into the crowd and spitting beer on himself, but the band lost momentum when they paused between songs. Right when you got a steady beat, hyped up and ready for more, the song would end and they'd take a minute [...]

Yes, Rakim. One of the best emcees on the face of the Earth (running neck and neck with KRS-One in this writer's book) has asked [...]
