Tonight I will be in NYC for this month’s CA$$ETTE party, an ongoing night of beats, dranks, and just turning loose dancing. Travis (Machinedrum & one-half of Sepalcure) approached me to bring some flavor into the flyers, with only a few requirements regarding the brand. I found myself intrigued by the new world of possibilities […]
For those of us living on the mid-Atlantic coast in America, it’s been a cold and snowy winter so far, dumping far more powder on us already than the past three years combined. Some…okay, most people complain about the nightmare the roads become, or the lack of plowed roadways, or shoveling their buried cars, or […]

While browsing through one of my many folders of favorite design images, collected mostly from image bookmarking sites like FFFFOUND!, Wikipedia, Flickr, etc., I came back across this incredible brand work for Geneva-based Taxi-Phone. It was created by League, an independent design shop based in Geneva, founded by a group of Swiss design school pals, […]

REEEEEEE-MIIIIIIIXXXXXXX!!! …Nowadays, the remix is becoming just as prevalent, if not more so, than the original mix. The definition of remix and its distinction from the cover, or the edit, is pretty loose, but it should be well-known that there are still 10 times as many crappy remixes as there are good ones.

Got some of the newest and hottest deep house cuts to come out this frosty (at least in the northern hemisphere) winter. I’m talking about the kind of music that melts in your ears, not the sort of high energy, gimmicky slop that most associate with today’s house music. I’m talking about deep house…what you […]
Tuesday, a free Mux Mool EP called Viking Funeral was released on Ghostly International, in anticipation of Minnesota-native Brian Lindgren’s debut full-length, Skulltaste. The album artwork also represents my Ghostly debut in the catalog, an accomplishment I consider my biggest since my first album cover for Moodgadget. The straightforward layout combines some of Brian’s incredible […]
Time to mix things up a little bit today with some hip hop, some 4/4, some two-step and some old freshness refashioned into new freshness. It amazes me how much of today’s music is derived, sometimes entirely, from music created decades earlier. Many music junkies have heard, possibly even entertained the debate, as to whether […]
