With roots in the once great steel town of Youngstown, Ohio, Woodson draws so much inspiration from the environment in the Midwest.

Oleg Mokhov has been on the scene for quite a while. His electronic music portfolio has grown sizeably over the past few years, and every release (in whatever form) continues to inspire.

From that point he's moved to experiment in a multitude of areas, including composing music for an online talk show, licensing his own music, creating an indie video game soundtrack, and most importantly, releasing a debut album on Magnatune Records. "Perfect Dream", Mokhov's [...]

Experimental. Electronic. Classical. Jazz. Post-punk. Genres are ubiquitous in music. Artists are defined by a literal sound or musical genus. Some may deem this labeling as legitimization. For With Lions, it's regulation. No walls or limitations, the East Coast duo is never at the mercy of a particular sound. Changing their genre as they go along, With Lions have amassed an entire library of music to release four, distinct EPs a year. Read more »
Early last month, we streamed the Music For Keyboards mixtape from Montreal-based electronic musician d'Eon, a mixtape that was filled with dense ambient soundscapes. Now, its sequel, Music For Keyboards Vol. 2, is a pretty different look, considering it's 14 piano arrangements based on Blink-182′s "What's My Age Again?" As hokey as that sounds, he finds some interesting ways to rephrase the source material. Stream and/or download it below. Read more »
