I’m more or less obsessed with Spirit of the Beehive, Zack Schwartz, who leads SOTB started putting out electronic, genre bending tunes as Draag Me this year and my enthusiasm quickly followed. I am gambling with my life and Mixtape II are both nicely textured electronic records that touch on everything from ambient, dream pop and chillwave to lofi, hip hop and club music. I am gambling feels like a great introduction to the artist especially if you’re coming from listening to SOTB as it feels familiar, mixtape strays a bit farther away but the poppier songs on this one really stick with you and the beats stretch out longer which I definitely enjoy.

Kind of gives me the same feeling I got when I heard death grips for the first time and understood it. I love the fusion of genres here.
This subgenre and style of music is slowly taking over everything I listen to, and I think it’s kind of blanketing everything in the brooklyn music scene. Maybe is just me.
We’re in like the 4th? Revival of electroclash in the history of music, and certainly not the last. People can stay mad, but I love it.

TME is Iglooghost’s most conventional album and it still makes me fucking crazy – like I’m freebasing nicotine and cocaine at the same time, while on one of those rollercoasters that drops at a 90-degree angle. Part of that disorienting feeling, this time around, comes from textures and sounds I didn’t expect: post-punk drums on “Coral Mimic”; the electro beat on “Nemat0de”. I’m sick to death of “genreless” music; Tidal Memory Exo was a genre unto itself.

It follows is one of my favorite horror movies and ‘tis the season. The music and atmosphere of it follows are serious business that suck you into a world with no specific era, spotless vintage cars and old film & television from the 60’s while the set design and clothing feels very 90’s, also Yara’s clam e-reader fascinated me as the teens don’t use cellphones. Lots of homage to John Carpenter in this one (for Halloween and The Thing fans). It’s a nail biter folks, the panic is thick in the air from the start.

I’m recommending the brand I work for, it’s most of what I wear and I’m really excited about what we are working on. The crew necks fit cozy like a sweater and look good with a slim fit or baggy pant. The pants come in a linen, corduroy and what I describe as a more comfortable karate pant. The yellow linens are great at home or spring/summer wears, navy cords are lightweight but thick & warm and perfect for the colder months and the black pants are the year-rounder. We are finishing up our board designs for the spring and looking forward to getting those out.

MIKE has become my favorite hip hop artist this past year. I was having a hard time finding new hip hop that I really liked every element from production, lyricism, delivery, etc. When first hearing MIKE, instantly that feeling was quelled. His release, Tears of Joy was my introduction and it was on repeat most of last winter. Weight of the World came out at the beginning of the summer and feels a lot heavier to me. Maybe it’s just the timing and everything going on, but it’s felt much more welcoming recently.
