Breakbot, Bogdan Irkük, D. Gookin, Cole Medina

Some funky musical re-imaginings of fictional disco parties in the very late 70s and early 80s, this stuff came back in full force over the last couple of years, but there is a dedicated sound that is still evolving today. These picks go from relatively well-known to virtually undiscovered, all part of a very distinct […]


A Black Panther Photo and Some Protest Music

So I was headed into the lab last week to have a few Body Language press shots re-scanned and I decided to bring in another roll I had taken over a year ago as well to have the image above re-scanned.  It was taken in April of last year, at a rally for death-row inmate […]


Prefuse 73, Tricky, Metal Fingers, Vast Aire ft. DOOM

Howsa botta litta bitta hip hop, put it on a stove, melt it down and cook it up, with musical herbs and spices to create delicacies of rap, aquired tastes meant only for the seasoned listeners with eclectic palates. Here’s a mix of older and newer tracks that will stick to your ears, not your […]


AIGA: Defining the Designer of 2015

I came across this article on AIGA this morning (it’s old, from last summer, but still very relevant), they got together with the eminent minds at Adobe to look at design today and project it forward in the next 5 years to come up with what the Designer of 2015 will need to know in […]


The Wayfarer’s Edition

Finally, I can share with you my most recently completed design project.  I’ve been mentioning it over the past couple weeks, as the project took about 2 weeks from first to final iteration, preceded by almost a month of off-and-on brainstorming.  We tied things up yesterday, so it’s now off to the printers to become […]


Christian Malloni, Scope, Daso, The Spaceape

A mix of dancefloor tunes for today, the sun is finally out after a long couple weeks of rain and cold. This is the kind of spring day I wrote about earlier in the week. I’m about to go out and enjoy some of this wonderful sunshine, here are some upbeat deep house, techno and […]


Dvein for TOCA ME

My friend Meghan sent me this late Tuesday night (or early Wednesday morning, however you’d like to call it).  This is beyond wild, this is downright insane animation.  It’s videos like these that remind you that no matter how talented you are, there will always be people who can do things that blow your mind […]


Mount Kimbie, Marsen Jules, ISAN, Move D

April showers bring forth perfect days for warm blankets of ambient music to accentuate the tap-tap-tapping of raindrops on your windows.  Although never really that exciting, or pleasant weather-wise, I like April as a month of transformation.  Clearly marking the end of winter and the beginning of spring, life reborn anew.  Taxes are out the […]


Praveen & Benoît – The Tunnel Is Still There (Shigeto’s Deep Tunnel Diving Remix): The Video

Last week, to coincide with the release of Praveen & Benoît‘s Songs Spun Simla Remix album on Moodgadget, a video I had put together last month for one of the tracks was posted on ISO50.  While it’s still in draft format, most of what I visualize whenever I hear Shigeto‘s remix is in place.  I […]


Machine Drum, Praveen & Benoît, Samiyam, Kid Cudi

Alright, alright, I know I’ve been a bit neglectful around here. So this week, I promise to pump up the content, and I’ve got a lot to share. We’ll get to see my first music video project, as well as the design I mentioned last week I have been working on for Moodgadget’s releases for […]
