Twenty years worth of diligent exploration and cratedigging in auction houses, garage sales, flea markets and online led Moss Lipow, an eyewear designer and collector, to amass a massive collection of glasses and their photographs. Now he’s compiled the highest quality examples from his collection, as well as prominent collections from around the world, into a […]

We caught one-half of LA based songwriting/production duo Massif a little while back opening for LCD Soundsystem, and we gotta say they’re hard to pin down categorically, drawing influence from such disparate sources as Tool, The Mars Volta, Aphex Twin, Animal Collective, Battles and just about everything in between. So we kept an eye out […]

Have you heard Hanni El Khatib? The first generation half Palestinian/half Filipino is just bad ass, angrily riffing out a cunning execution of classic American blues, garage, punk and doo-wop into a post-rock n’ roll frenzy. Just hit play on his “Come Alive” video below and you’ll know instantly if you’ll like his music — […]

Toronto dubstep producer/DJ Bombaman — aka Michael David — drops this mix for Monsta Sounds. The Canadian definitely likes swimming in dark waters, so press play only if you dig it with lots of sub and lots of jigsaw soundwaves, shit is sinister… Bombaman’s “Monsta Sounds” mixtape below, full tracklist after the Jump… Monsta Sounds […]

Manga and bass-obsessed DJ/producer Submerse has been making waves recently with his self-professed “garage, bassline, 2-step, house, jpop” sound, a blend I cannot help fall in love with.
