Audioccult Vol. 26: Ren-Trap Shit

Trap music and Renaissance art in the same setting might make art (or, possibly, music) purists yell ‘Suffering saviors!’ in a funny Sylvester the cat voice, but from EB editor Daniel’s perspective, it’s a perfect fit.

Audioccult Vol. 14: The Catharsis Edition

Light a candle, blahblahblah: WHAT THE HELL IS UP FACEBOOK. Out of all the Tumblr-culture whatever type things, I’m pretty sure mine was the only thing to not try to cash in somehow.

Audioccult Vol. 12: Magick Mirror Edition

Light a candle. Draw the required sigils. Now, do you have your Magick Mirror? The secret of mirrors is: they’re ALL magic, because they reflect the falseness of Physical Reality, rather than the truth of Spirit. Or some bullshit, who cares.

Listen To Carter Tutti Remix Gazelle Twin’s “Unflesh”

The ex-Throbbing Gristle members rework “Unflesh” into a soft but glitchy banger. There are some remixes that were just made to be—the synchronicity between remixee and remixer just bristling with raw potential. This new Carter Tutti remix of Gazelle Twin’s “Unflesh” is certainly one of them. It’s the fusion of two different spatial movements in the track that lends it its undoubted power. On one … Continued

The Results From The Grammys Are In!

THE RESULTS ARE IN: Kendrick Lamar is amazing and pretty much everything else is bad (except for Lady Gaga’s keyboard stand, a highlight of the evening). Diplo won twice and a lot of people thought that anything to do with Bruno Mars was the Best Thing in the year. Adele “messed up” her performance but it could have … Continued

This Illegal Rave From ’89 Is What Frankie Knuckles Was About

Frankie Knuckles’ anthem “Your Love” was the defining psalm for a whole generation of ravers. The lush beat, flickering melody punctuated by impassioned vocals and hypnotic circularity can make your goth teen ditch black rags for a floral hoodie and blindly fall in love. We’re bringing it to your attention today because it’s the anniversary of … Continued

How ASMR Is Changing Music

Do you like those subtle sounds when someone whispers? Or the way scratching wood sounds? Do you get weird tingles when you listen to recorded breathing sounds? You are not alone.

A Turntable Transformed Into A Techno-Making Drum Machine

Is this the most soothing video of the week? Watch artist Graham Dunning turn a turntable into a kind of drum machine by mechanically altering vinyl records and stacking all sorts of stuff on the record player.

Editor’s Choice 10

You want to know what’s been going in our ears this week, reverberating our cochleas and sending broader vibrations throughout our bodies and by extension our audio-addled souls? That’s a coincidence: here’s this week’s Editor’s Choice.

Bogner’s TV Guide No. 10

If you’re interested in modern day culture or have a Facebook profile (our deepest condolences to Gucci Goth, now BlackBlackGold, who is no longer part of that exclusive club –booo Facebook!) you couldn’t have missed it: Sunday was Breaking Bad day! On July 15th, the first episode of Season Five in the epic TV show … Continued

Melt! Festival highlights

We had a pretty intense time at this year’s Melt! Festival. This was thanks partly to our extracurricular activities (which we’ll get to in a moment) but largely thanks to a fantastic lineup: surrounded by favorites like AlunaGeorge, Todd Terje, Chairlift, Zola Jesus and Squarepusher, we just felt overwhelmed by the amount of things to … Continued

Bogner’s TV Guide No. 8

For the last eighteen months or so, I’ve been obsessed with the murder of a young Washington schoolgirl and the captivating search for her killer. There’s been almost constant rain, lots of shady dudes creeping around, and more than one psychotic breakdown among those involved. To put it simply, the past year and a half … Continued

EB Exclusive: download M.E.S.H. – Alright, NO

M.E.S.H. knows how to make us m.o.v.e. Berlin-based producer Jaime Whipple‘s work falls somewhere between the jittery vibe of juke and the punch of house, with some seriously sick remixes under the belt as well. We already showed you his killer edit of Alba Kingz‘ ‘ Unsere Gegend’ in Monday’s Audioccult, and today we’re pleased … Continued
