This review was initially written (for the most part) during December of 2022, but given the nature of that season and other work piling up, finishing this review got left on the back burner. I’m finally circling back to it now. On November 18th of last year Charlie Fracture dropped “0860”; a living tribute to…

REVIEW: “THE LEE GARDEN HISTORICAL PRESERVATION SOCIETY 002” by ANALIAS

REVIEW: “WATERMELON” by Jomari
Released on June 8th, 2022, “Watermelon” by Jomari has been rattling around my digital crate for several months. It’s a tune of laid back vibes, mellow basslines and sprinkling Rhodes keys. I was lucky enough to play music on a powered sound system earlier this year and I made absolutely sure to rinse this track…
