We're starting off 2023 by going back to 1997 and talking about Mike Paradinas's single most easily recognizable work, which I've had a slightly complicated relationship with over the years... (also finally getting to that big 25th anniversary reissue from a few months ago)

The last regular request on my current Patreon schedule (which is NOT reopened yet, btw) is for a small-time but well-polished experimental outfit who for their sophomore record in 2022 attempted to flirt more with pop structures in a way that ended up working against their core appeal and getting monotonous.

Its time for me to catch up on a legend among 2000s synth-pop outfits, also by request to talk about their 2006 album which I respect a lot and especially stands out for its still-precient lyrics and social commentary, although sonically... doesnt really do it for me that much?

For this Halloween, its time to go over to the world of witches and wizardry to discuss a DJ Sabrina album I skipped over in 2021 and see how much I was missing out. I also heard the rest of the DJ Sabrina catalog and will be giving my brief thoughts on that too!

Skrillex has finally returned with a trendy but enjoyable trip through retro garage, house, OG dubstep and juke that reconfirmed a lot of my old conflicted feelings on him (as well as a bonus alternative R&B project that Im not officially reviewing but gave a few quick thoughts on).
