“A saxophone?! What the faux this shit is DOPE,” I exclaimed to fellow LiS ragers as Big G threw down a heavy, upbeat dub set at Camp Bisco 9.

By Zola at January 20, 2012 | 6:51 am | 0 Comment

The Polish Ambassador (David Sugalski) has added his space-age touch to yet another remixed track for Little Dragon’s “Ritual Union”. Adding to vocalist, Yukimi Nagano’s, already coy nature, Sugalski sends us back to the sonic playground from whence we came with his signature chopped vocals and psychedelic embellishments. It doesn’t hurt that Nagano has an more...

The term EP originally referred only to specific types of vinyl records other than 78 rpm standard play (SP) records and LP records, but is now applied to mid-length Compact Discs and downloads, as well. Based more...
