Recommended Show: TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2009 NARWHALZ @ MERKET HOTEL 1142 Myrtle Avenue Brooklyn, NY 11221 $TBA, 8PM Though Cex is headlining this show, I have no doubt that Narwhalz's impressive set will steal the spotlight. The one-man act from Richmond takes Game Boys sounds and turns them into noisy creations. He couples it with a pretty entertaining live show that's not to be missed!

Following the show, everyone's favorite DJ Jason Willett will be hosting the [...]

MP3: Cex - Last Gazp MP3: Cex - Brains Out Cex aka Cexman aka Rjyan Kidwell recently dropped his new wax, Bataille Royale , on a Baltimore scene that is more than ready for this addition to its musical vocabulary. This record is unquestionably the product of a bombed out soul, a spirit that is truly and uniquely urban. Here we find soundscapes that, much like dub, reflect the darker side of the metropolitan experience. He has openly stated this is a response [...]
