CYM: Originally growing up on classic rock and metal, you soon found a love for horns and jazz. What would you say contributed to this change in taste? How important is it to you for an artist to indulge in different genres? Getting into jazz was not easy! I just didn’t feel cool being into jazz during the […]

Psymbionic has been one of our favorites for a while, and it feels good to see the glitchy producer starting 2017 at a full sprint. Recently wrapping up his largest tour yet with labelmate CloZee, Psymbionic blazed through 45 U.S. dates followed by multiple shows in Costa Rica as well. As one of the head […]

I’ll be blunt: Android Jones is one of the most important artists alive, right now. Despite whatever contrived statement I could make about how he is “killing the art game,” and about how “his shit is so next level,” which it literally is, any reasonable conversation of his achievements must necessarily include phrases such […]

TAUK has easily become one of my choice bands since first stumbling upon their entrancing set at Wakarusa back in 2015. The quartet hailing from Oyster Bay, New York, is breaking boundaries in the experimental-heavy-rock-fusion arena with their progressive instrumentals and illustrious sound. Their newest E.P.

Rocking a big sound reminiscent of a Southern Baptist choir, the expert ensemble of blasting horns and soulful singers that are The Nightowls wrap you into their charm almost immediately.
