  • PROCEED WITH CAUTION… This review is biased, as it was written by a major Kylie fan. So, if that’s going to bother you, don’t read on. Otherwise, please do! Kylie Minogue’s long-awaited Christmas album, Kylie Christmas, has arrived! As a longtime fan, I find it hard to believe. I’m listening to it as I write…

  • “It’s the weekend on the west coast,” sings Classified on his red hot new single “No Pressure.” He also sings, “It’s the weekend on the east coast,” wisely not choosing one over the other. But this is actually a rap song. You see, the dude can rap and also sing his own hooks, which isn’t…

  • If you’re getting bored with EDM, well, I really couldn’t blame you. In fact, I am, too. But today we have a two song EP from Ckrono & Slesh, a duo hailing from Florence, Italy, and it’s a stimulating blend of kudoro (something I’d never heard of before), Afro-house, funk, dub and even a bit…

  • The name Made of Oak might not ring a bell. You may not even recognize the real name of the man who’s so named himself, Nick Sanborn. But if you’re an electronic pop music fan, or just a fan of electronic music in general, then the name of his full-time gig surely will, as it’s…

  • It’s 2015 and Stryper’s yellow and black attack continues. And I dare say it’s stronger than ever. Just listen to “Yahweh,” the blistering opening track of their new album, Fallen. When I heard Michael Sweet was writing a song with Clint Lowery of Sevendust I thought we were in for a disaster, just based on…
