REVIEW: “THE LEE GARDEN HISTORICAL PRESERVATION SOCIETY 002” by ANALIAS
Analias had been on my radar for roughly a year ever since I found their work on Bandcamp in the Spring/Summer of 2022. I’ve specifically been searching for dance music that’s received physical release via cassette tape and during my digging I found a number of different tape releases from a mysterious minimalist drum and…

REVIEW: “DEADWAIT EP” by POPTHATRUNK
Hello readers, I’m happy to finally be back again with another review. This time the work on offer comes from Portland-based POP THA TRUNK; this five track EP is a proper banging release that hits all the right notes across the included tracks. Made up of four 140 growlers and a deadly neurofunk DNB track,…

High Speed Magic Volume 28: Jordan Freeman
While the show Nickel City Frequencies may currently be on hiatus, that doesn’t mean things aren’t happening in the background. I recently had opportunity to appear on the High Speed Magic mix series. It’s a series curated by the legendary @deejaygeejaygee: the mind behind the paradigmatic “Two Guy Theory of Electronic Music”. If you haven’t…

REVIEW: “UNIVERSAL VIBRATIONS” by Chad Dubz
The big man Chad Dubz is no stranger to my record box. I’ve been a fan of the Bristol-based dubstep producer’s output since roughly 2017 when I picked up his sophomore release on his Foundation Audio imprint “Kingdom Dub EP”, that led me to grabbing his “22 Ounces” release on Boka and the rest is…

REVIEW “BEHOLD b/w PARADISE BIRD” by J. Sparrow
A nice little find courtesy of Planetwax.co.uk. I found this 45″ when I was browsing a recent sale there. The first ZamZam Sounds record that I ever REALLY heard was LQ & Headland’s “Fat Neck” and after listening to that track on my subwoofer at home, I knew that the Portland based dub label was…

INTERVIEW: A Chat with Steinjah & Spyne, the Minds Behind the 40Hz Soundsystem
On July 27th, 2022 I sat down for a Zoom call with Jon Spyne and Jenn Steinjah, operators of the legendary 40Hz Soundsystem, which if you are not from Canada, you may be familiar with through the homage 40Hz by Distinct Motive. The 40Hz Soundsystem has been powering some of the best parties and festivals…

REVIEW “D-BLK003” by Nahlith
Up next on the review surgical table we have Victoria, BC based, Nahlith. He’s already started making waves with his 2021 release on FatKidOnFire: FKxF005 and with this release we mark Nahlith’s jump from digital releases into physical media with his first vinyl release. “D-BLK003″ comes as a limited 10” vinyl record w/ digital copies…

REVIEW: “BURNING PAPER EP” by Manonmars & Bogues x Ishan Sound & Neek
DNO Records are back with “DNO008” and, if you’ll excuse my language: god damn it’s crushing. The Burning Paper EP is made up of four tracks featuring the Young Echo collective associated Manonmars and Bogues with production duties taken up by Ishan Sound and Neek respectively. I was already very familiar with the A2 track…

REVIEW: “INTERTWINED” by EAZYBAKED
I’ll fully admit that I had no idea what to expect when I ordered this cassette. I had heard of EAZYBAKED through Twitter and had a vague idea of what type of music they made and I knew that it was vaguely something similar to what I was into, but if I’m completely honest, I…

REVIEW: “COMPLEX FLASHBACK” by TMSV
PRF004 is the most recent vinyl offering from Dutch bass-master TMSV who has served up a wide selection of vibes for the heads on this release featuring two different dubstep tracks on different ends of the sonic spectrum, as well as tasty little digi-ragga banger. The title track “Complex Flashback” is a rolling euphoric dubstep…
