What is fairness in a world of injustice?
What is peace in a world of war?
What is love in a world of facades?
In less than two decades, the 21st century has already presented a wide array of controversial events and headlines. Nations fighting over natural resources. An exponential increase to the price of living. Rising concerns regarding climate change and the ecological future of our planet. Mega-corporations controlling a large share of the entertainment industry and surveilling our ... read more
CHEMICAL WEEK #6 - We Are The Night (2007)
Well, it seems we are back with Chemical Week, which isn't a week anymore, I guess? Well, let's just say I got lost in other chemicals, and my time perception was a little off. But laziness aside, here we are, with the sixth album by the Chemical Brothers, We Are the Night.
In June 2006, the brothers announced on their website that they were working on a brand new set of tunes under the codename "Chemical 6." Soon, two tracks on ... read more
This album sounds like unfinished Flying Lotus tracks, and yet, it is still intriguing.
Splazsh is a record of profound juxtapositions and contrasts presented in the form of unorthodox house and techno, or at least that is what it most closely resembles. It lives in a state of musical indeterminacy, without an outlined genre other than electronic. No feature is too glaring or stark to classify it under a certain style, and the moods are too varied to pin it down to a single emotion or feeling. ... read more
If there is an album that deserves the Microhouse label, it has got to be this one.

From melody to percussion, every element and instrument derives from the same source, cut and altered unrecognizably. Vinyl crackle fills the roles of both the snare and ... read more
Movement is fascinating, really.
Each time we walk, the gusts of wind hit our faces, the terrain shapes with our steps, and the stasis of time is breached. Each bent articulation and moment of transition between one position and another doesn't just symbolize action—a display of resistance against the crushing power of time—but also reminds us of how change haunts our very existence. We capitalize on movement, be it from the clock hands or from our own hard work, but either ... read more
FAR SIDE VIRTUAL: Shrink-wrapped in HD fidelity as glossy as a 2012 Toyota Prius 📱⭐
Ah yes, the album that is more interesting to talk about than to listen to.
James Ferraro is a very unique figure in experimental music. Ever since his first works in groups such as The Skaters, Ferraro has experimented with the most varied (when I say varied, I mean from noise music to alt RnB to a fricking machinima of 9/11 in Roblox) types of music, production, and art styles. Said experimentation led ... read more
