♫ Knight Stalker - We Don't Care
For this particular track from LA’s Knight Stalker, I have chosen not to say anything. Rather, just let the funky grooves make you get up and dance. This is the theme for the weekend! YES!

♫ The Deeep
As he spoke, those honey-dew lips muttered velvety words that seemed to disintegrate delicately in my ear. The world seemed to disappear around me - vanishing into a darkness that hugged us sweetly. I clung to every word, every smile, every slight lift of the corner of his mouth. His almond eyes shone - illuminated in the night light - the neon glow of the signs behind us. If I felt inadequate,...

♫ Two Inch Punch - Love You Up
Running out of superlatives to describe this artist. In summation: more fantastic lovestep from London’s Two Inch Punch. With super distorted vocals and a glitchy, blippy beat, “Love You Up” is fanciful fluid downtempo lovestep.
Definitely someone to keep your eye on in 2011.

♫ Purity Ring - Ungirthed
As I walked away from the wreckage, bloodied and torn, I felt free and unrestrained. Every problem and worry, every cruel clawing castigation was buried beneath the steel wire frame. Unclouded and autonomous - I was able to walk away from everything that burdened me. Broken and bruised, I was completely unconstrained for the first time. You were no longer there - now enshrined in a fragmented...

Ages - Failures
The sleepy fog rolled down the hill, combining sweetly with your voice. A velvet, dewy accent - wrapped in love and adoration. If I became deaf to the world around me, it would no longer matter. As long as your dulcet, soft voice was the last sound I heard, I would be forever satisfied.
Ages is Michael Lundy’s (writer for Rebel Magazine’s) ambient/easy listening-soundscape project....

Moths - Slow/Down
One of two songs that are available from Ireland’s lo-fi, blissful Moths. Jubilant yet somewhat restrained, “Slow/Down” plays out like a sort of glitchy, stop-and-start mantra. Lyricless yet urgent in its delivery - like a mute, tenaciously warning harbinger.

Check the always fabulous Leaving Scene for the track “Blisters”.

Ʌ - Insults
Every time I closed my eyes, I couldn’t help but see his face in place of yours. My solace, my love, had been replaced by a volcanic hatred. With every seething breath, I couldn’t help but feel vengeful, spiteful, and, somehow, bitterly numb. I lived solely for revenge - to seek out and destroy whatever he had so willfully created. Set on tormenting the recluse, I began to find ways...

Where Are We?
I’ve been on a purely electronic diet for a couple months now, craving anything with a pounding beat, wobbly bass, or synths that flutter cosmically. Where Are We?’s “Superplexed” EP is laidback, beat-centric, psychedelic, tripped-up electronica that had me bobbing my head and visiting horsehead nebulae. It is addictive, masterfully mixed, and complimented by some of the...

♫ Under Alien Skies
I found myself unable to speak. The words which so elegantly floated from my lips moments before became mute. Feeling them pressing against my tongue, my language hesitated and nearly fell back into my throat. Nearly choking, I tried to cough up these irritations - this distorted, warbled discourse that gripped me tightly. If I attempted to speak further, my throat would burn greatly. Afraid and...
