Detroit's mostly-masked DJ Stingray & London's DJ Haus team up for a rather dark slab of efficiently dangerous sounding techno. Entitled The Sadist Pts 1 & 2, the vinyl comes with remixes from legendary Heinrich Muller (Drexciya, Dopplereffekt) which you can grab a free download of from Fact Mag below. Grab the vinyl at Phonica, and read up on a great DJ Stingray interview from The Wire magazine that talks in detail about the difficulty of getting condensation inside your mask and why Detroit techno is [...]
[There is a video that cannot be displayed in this feed. Visit the blog entry to see the video.] Our homegirl Ms Josie Stingray recently dropped the visuals to her smash "Got To Get It". & if you aint got it, then YOU GOT TO GET IT! HNRL! YEE!

Stingray, real name Sherard Ingram, is one of Detroit's most uncompromising producers and selectors. Perhaps best known for his association with Drexciya, for whom he was balaclava-wearing tour DJ, Ingram's own contribution to the music of the Motor City and beyond is enormous. 01 – ADAM X – DOWNBURSTS – [PROLOUGE] 02 – FANON FLOWERS – UP – [SECT] 03 – CLATTERBOX – STORM DRAIN – [TRUST] 04 – CHRISTIAN VOGEL – DRX CRUSH – [TRESOR] 05 – ALEX CORTEX – BOLD SKOOL – [KILLEKILL] 06 – AS1 – FROM THE ABOVE – [TRANSIENT FORCE] 07 – THE [...]

In the wake of Armor For Sleep 's recent break up, I decided it would be fitting to take people back to their beginning. Back in April of 2002 Armor For Sleep still had their original line up with Paul Abrahamian on guitar and AJ Resnick on drums, their debut album was still over a year away from its release and they were still promoting their original 5 song demo, which included "Dream To Make Believe", "Slip Like Space", "All Warm", "Phantoms Now" and "Pointless Forever". April 12th Armor For Sleep shared the Stingrays stage at Birch [...]

Once upon a time, way back in July (well it feels like forever ago, anyway), I caught a rare live show performed by Philadelphia's The Bye Byes . Since that night, front man Pete Shauger and I have been playing interview tag. Over the course of a three month long conversation, we talked about our respective histories with the saxophone, the MySpace/Facebook revolution, and the band's vacancy for an agent. Enjoy! Jessica, PopWreckoning : I haven't been able to find much in the way of a biography on The [...]

This is quite simply one of the best compilations ever. This is the raw sound of some of the wildest rock n' roll tunes ever scraped up off the recording studio floor. It's a collection of original songs that were later covered by The Cramps. If you are a fan of them, then this is a must have, but even if you're not familiar with The Cramps, this is great just for the song by Hasil Adkins alone. The primordial unhinged oozing & throbbing of a complete cerebral meltdown. The tracklist & song selection on [...]
