MUSIC TAKES ME HIGHER
I’d like to share with you what could very well be one of the sweetest love letters around. Now you have to understand that most things, when seen through the eyes of Dylan Dawkins, aka Persona La Ave, will come out the other end more warped, more other worldly, evidently more sexy and funk-centric than they had once been. Below, please feel free to open this seeming love letter to...

Moon Bounce - Telephone Moon Bounce have been a favorite for quite some time. And now Corey Regensburg is working on a new LP that’s yet to be named, but is due sometime this Spring, if the fates allow. Telephone is our first listen, and it comes fully equipped with this homemade video, he admittedly had no real plan for…they just kind of did it. And yet I can’t imagine a more...

Tokyo Dreamer →
The long awaited album is finally hear. 17 year old Sunik Kim started making music a little less than a year ago, which makes his debut full-length Tokyo Dreamer, even more impressive.  I like where an album like Tokyo Dreamer fits in the long history and evolution of sampling music.

PORTALS is the ultimate collaborative effort between sixteen blogs. Our hope is not to pander to the expectations of what we should be, but to stand as a safe-house for the music and art that represent the age we...

Essay & Stumbleine - Rhiannon German producer, Essay makes self-proclaimed ‘emotional electronica’, and I think Bristol based producer, Stubmleine, could say the same. I first ran across Stumbleine’s densely beautiful sounds via my buddy Tyler at Flashlight Tag. I was instantly hooked, and have had the Rose Tinted EP on constant repeat since. And my introduction to Essay,...
