Guest Mix: Percuss

I was recently asked to contribute a guest mix to Kit Records: "For the last couple of years, I’ve been getting into these off-kilter, sound-collaged, groove-oriented type tracks. Because I spend a lot of time writing myself, I’m not as readily exploring new music as much as I used to. But I thought I’d share some of my favorites that exhibit these qualities."

Guest Mix: Pangs of the Idealist

Data Garden is a Philadelphia based journal, record label and events producer encouraging the discovery of electronic music through the windows of history, science and community. They do really cool things, like releasing all of their digital downloads as codes on artwork that can grow into living plants.
