Back in October Milano electro-nauts Crookers streamed their Dr. Gonzo album for all to hear before they released it, and now they’re doing that again with their latest EP/maxi-single, “Hummus”, and its various remixes. Remixers include Botnek, Donovan, Hybrid Theory and Astronomar, but personally we dig the Slow Waves Mix the most. Pick up the […]

The hard working Italian brothers-in-electro duo Crookers dropped their new album this Tuesday, and they’re streaming it for all to hear before purchase.
