Axel Karakasis: Pandora EP

If you’re the type that kneels down to worship techno music, then you must have heard of Axel Karakasis. But if you’re not familiar with the name and have no clue then you need to delete your Skrillex mp3 (which were probably downloaded illegally). Axel started his DJ-ing career playing in small clubs in Athen […]

Amadou & Mariam: Insightful Sound

Sight was never useful to crafting aural pleasure – Stevie Wonder, anyone?

Pastel Lite: Discovering the Joy of Pastel Again

Eff Hakim and Mohd Faliq describe their collaboration as Pastel Lite as just “two like-minded souls having fun creating art together.” Fortunately as listeners we’re having fun too from their art. The duo came from disparate music backgrounds, wanting to break free from the shackles of their previous bands, they found each other online and […]

The song features Brazilian sweetheart, Lovefoxxx, lead singer of the indie-electro band Cansei de Ser Sexy. It’s a zany, lovably infectious track that […]
