Choppy Waters: Akitoshi Ito’s “Waves”
ByPatrick St. Michel May 22, 2019

Maybe one day I’ll indulge myself and make a hierarchy of things in music that just get me going, but pretty high up on that list would be “singing run through electronic/digital filters and/or other technology to make it sound less human (or, at least, more interesting). New Sheena Ringo…great the moment she starts singing…

Brain Space: Sync Test’s “Leaves, Collapse”
ByPatrick St. Michel February 2, 2017

It’s been tough to focus on…anything…recently, something that has no doubt frustrated numerous editors I work with.

Tokyo…

Goes Down Nicely: ((The Submariners))’ Mitsuya Cider EP
ByPatrick St. Michel June 21, 2017

ByPatrick St. Michel August 2, 2016August 4, 2016

Here’s a nice moment of worlds colliding, facilitated through a third party (label Phinery). DJWWWW is one of the higher ups at the always absorbing Wasabi Tapes, and on Split he’s sharing space with Mukqs, the project of Max Allison, co-founder of Chicago’s Hausu Mountain (helpful article here).

Blurred Lines: Black Bass’ “LFP”
ByPatrick St. Michel January 25, 2019

So what exactly is this? Black Bass are a musical collective that have been kicking around for a couple years now, hitting a stride in 2018 with the bobbing “Looop.” The constant use of rap hands in that clip might offer a hint where Black Bass see themselves, but the sound isn’t really anything you’d…
