New KiWi: KiWi Monogatari
ByPatrick St. Michel November 3, 2016

The duo of KiWi dabble in a lot of sounds that have been ever present in Japan’s electronic music scene for the last few years — spine-cracking bass, trap-appropriate beats, fast tempos — but they’ve managed to stand out thanks to their flair for the dramatic. The KiWi project features a legit story, with characters…

New Oomori Seiko: “Pink Methuselah”
ByPatrick St. Michel August 1, 2016

Oomori Seiko in 2016 has been a very busy person. She released Tokyo Black Hole this spring, an album I still find myself digesting (current state: it includes some of her absolute best work to date, but as a whole it kind of drags for me, though I think I need to listen to it…

New Miii: “Against The Rainbow”
ByPatrick St. Michel November 30, 2015

Considering how much of producer Miii’s music has felt like bodies breaking apart — of bass snapping like fragile bones and drops that sound like head trauma — it seems fitting he’s eventually reached the point where it all dissolves into the air. “Against The Rainbow,” off a release slated for release in 2016, does…

Breaking My Rule: Powder’s “New Tribe”
ByPatrick St. Michel January 24, 2019

One of those stubborn personal opinions I cling to is that music should be able to stand on its own, free from visuals and choreography and whatever else people would rather gravitate to. This is one of the most old-man things about me — even though I appreciate all the other stuff (I mean, the…
