Hypnotic Brass Ensemble “Bulletproof Brass” EP Preview

Hypnotic Brass Ensemble proudly present their new release titled “Bulletproof Brass,” a 6 song mini album showcasing this family band’s unrivaled musicianship and universal appeal.

Mesmerizing melodies and pulsating rhythms that sound from another world are like a remedy or tonic to the listener in this digital age of over produced music.

Eskmo – Eskmo (Review)

Eskmo

Eskmo



San Francisco's Brendan Angelides has been recording under the name Eskmo for more than ten years, and after a couple of acclaimed singles for Warp and Planet Mu, he’s finally ready with a full album on Ninja Tune. He’s abandoned the dancefloor on this album, and his music is hard to describe; inventive descriptions like glitchstep or slowrave comes to mind.
