DIRTY RADIO is a DJ, producing, and songwriting duo from Canada. Not too long ago, they released their long-awaited third studio album, entitled, “Pleasures”.

“Our primary goal was to collaborate with all our favorite musicians and producers and then see what would happen. In writing and producing our past albums, we remained pretty introverted during the writing and recording process, only inviting a few key people to assist. For this record, we wanted to push ourselves creatively to write the best songs we could while remaining open to other ideas. Geographically speaking, we recruited collaborators on this record from Berlin, Brighton, L.A., Australia, Las Vegas, and here in Vancouver.” – DIRTY RADIO

‘Pleasures’ contains a diverse, interwoven array of singles which display DIRTY RADIO’s musical evolution through the lens of their irresistible R&B-infused electronic beats.

The likable project offers a delightfully diverse assortment of music ranging from future-house, garage, soul, and electro-infused R&B.

Also, the 16-track album contains relatable storylines, ear-welcoming vocals, and groovy instrumentations flavored with an electro-dance aroma.

“This album is much more focused than our previous records. We really wanted to hone in on creating music we would be excited to perform live while also exploring and improving on our style (House/R&B). Although we have focused on releasing singles for the past few years. We wanted this album to be something you could listen to from beginning to end.” – DIRTY RADIO

Since 2010, DIRTY RADIO has been crafting a satisfying synthesis of progressive soul, R&B, and electronic music.

With their diverse musical influences, the multi-instrumentalists and producers have been working tirelessly in their studio.

Also, they’ve been racking up impressive Soundcloud and Spotify numbers. Plus, releasing tracks for iconic labels such as Spinnin’, Partyfine, Majestic Casual, and Mad Decent.

SLANDER (Derek & Scott) is a duo based in Los Angeles and Said the Sky is a native of Colorado. Not too long ago, they released a music video for their emo-dance tune, entitled, “Potions”, featuring indie-folk singer-songwriter JT Roach.

‘Potion’ tells a heartbreaking story of love and loss about a young guy who encounters a female who he desires to be with.

Apparently, he never met anyone quite like her before, and never felt the way that he’s feeling right now. Later, he admits that he would take potions and cross oceans for her love.

‘Potion’ contains a relatable storyline, pleasing vocals, and lush instrumentation flavored with electro-pop and modern dance elements.

SLANDER built a mint name for themselves through jaw-dropping original productions and massive collaborations.

Not too long ago, they added “label heads” to their resume, and turned their popular Gud Vibrations brand into an official record label with NGHTMRE.

"This is a record that shaped my musical path as a musician for a long time. My hardcore trump card in life is that I saw them in 1998 in front of about 100 people. They were fucking amazing. When I went to that gig I had the record and I was a little bit confused by it. It was a very divisive record in the scene because of the electro elements. Over time I came to adore it. I did once fly to Sweden to buy a Dennis Lyxzén solo album because I couldn’t find it anywhere I can play this entire record in my sleep. Everything I did with Million Dead was informed by this album. I wasn’t really a fan of the new record, but I did once fly to Sweden to buy a Dennis Lyxzén solo album because I couldn’t find it anywhere. The guy in the record store thought I was out of my fucking mind, which arguably I was"

Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)
2021 | Action, Adventure
This movie really amazed and surprised me at how much I love this movie. It does a great job at balancing the humor and the seriousness throughout the film. Definitely fan service, but it’s used in a way where it’s in service of the plot and helps drive it forward.

It also made me like Tom Holland’s Peter/SM a whole lot more compared to the other two solo films he did. Peter has to actually face the consequences of his actions. This is easily Tom’s best performance as Peter Parker by far. And the villains were great (specifically Green Goblin, Doc Ock, and Electro). I thought they did a good job at balancing the screen time for them and it didn’t feel like a cluster of a mess with too many characters. As a big Spider-Man fan, this really feels like a love letter to the character and it’s everything that I would want from a Spider-Man movie.

"Electro 1 represents the kickstart of that kind of music for me and a whole crew of mates. We were 13 or 14, this arty, conscientious little urban crew of kids just roaming around. It was fun, it was exciting because the music was really hard to get hold of, there was only one pirate radio station, I think it was Tim Westwood that did it. You had to tune into it on a Thursday at 4 o’ clock. They would play all these kinds of tunes, but no one else was into them. No one was into hip hop. Everyone else was into that gothy fucking angular stuff, whereas I didn’t know who The Smiths were until about four years ago. We were kind of early pioneers, well, not pioneers, we were rubbish Chiswick kids, trying to be a bit urban, adopting some of the clothes but quite naively. We all looked like total pricks. I always got it wrong and wore a chef’s hat or something. I was like the dude in the band that never looked quite right, the Gary Barlow one who doesn’t fit the clothes that the stylist’s picked out."

Refs is an electronic-pop duo based in New York City. Not too long ago, they released a music video for their “Turn Around” single.

“Day-one Refs’ fans are a patient breed. When we played our first show earlier this year, and over half the audience knew every word to every song, our minds were actually blown. We wanted to tie a bow on what feels like the end of an era, and set the stage for a new one. But above all else, this mixtape is meant as a sincere thank you to our day-one crew.” – Refs

‘Turn Around’ contains a relatable storyline, pleasing vocals, and lush instrumentation scented with an electro-pop fragrance.
