New Ujico: Dream Castle EP
ByPatrick St. Michel June 15, 2016

Ujico (or, Snail’s House at other times) has long hop-scotched between a hyper-kawaii sound and something a bit more polished, full of intricate piano arrangements. The recently released Dream Castle EP is the finest balance the young producer has stuck yet between the two. The synths on songs such as the title track and “Dream…

Peeling Away: Cairo’s “Same As Before,” “Retrospective” And “Night Vision”

New Tofubeats: “Stakeholder”
ByPatrick St. Michel March 23, 2015March 24, 2015

Kobe’s Tofubeats is a child of the internet, and the EPs and albums he’s released thus far in his career…both as bedroom uploader and major-label signing…have reflected this attention-deprived upbringing, one where you are always a “related video” away from falling down some new hole. His full-lengths jump all over the place, zipping from synth…
