New Print: Deastro, Mux Mool, 800beloved

A couple weeks back, I received some prints courtesy of Nick Athanasopoulos, a prominent event organizer and promoter from Chicago, from the June 17th Deastro concert with guests Mux Mool and 800beloved.  It’s almost a year after the fact, but I actually have a decent number of prints here, so if anyone is interested in […]


Horrevorts, Kalkbrenner, Rozzo, Martinez Bros.

Few things can beat the simple satisfaction that comes from walking away from Beatport with “hands full,” so to speak, of new hot tracks.  I almost always drag them right from the download app into Live and see how they sound mixed up, the anticipation is palpable, sometimes I barely listen to the full tracks […]


Rob Theakston, Autechre, Proswell, Loscil

Here are a bunch of unsettling ambient and idm tracks to add a little unease to your otherwise copacetic Friday, without adding undue stress.  They are intended for pondering shapes, primary colors, spatial relationships and their human counterparts. Rob Theakston – I Am Waiting for You to Stop Being Mad at Me (Off the Sky […]


MeLo-X, Missy Elliott, The Ruby Suns, Toro Y Moi

Going to jump around through a few different sounds today, but one thing they all have in common: they’re a bunch of upbeat tunes to help you shake off the snow and get into the swing of spring.  Things are already shaping up to be an excellent rest of the year around Blog.H34, including the […]


Heads of State: From Sea to Shining Sea

A pal from work, sent me a link this morning to these awesome posters by The Heads of State, Philadelphia-based (woo-hoo!) Jason Kernevich and Dustin Summers.  It’s part of the print series, “From Sea to Shining Sea,” a collection of travel posters that beautifully depict cities across America in beautiful combinations of just three to […]


Gadi Mizrahi, Lee Curtiss, Demetrius, Stimming

Went cruisin’ around for some new deep hotness, and here’s what I’ve found: music that sounds like orange sunrise glistening off the water, lights shining through mistiness of the dancefloor at its fever pitch, or the feeling of anticipation just before going out.  Unfortunately, I’ve been swamped during the week, and snowed or rained in […]


Clogs, RF & Lili De La Mora, Bibio, Benoît Pioulard

Time to take a slightly folksy turn for today’s music picks.  I cannot deny that I’ve had this strange sort of aesthetic brewing in my head, inspired visually by things like Philadelphia’s Fairmount Park and the World’s Fairs of the late 1800’s and early 1900’s.  Or things like these 18th-century peep show box images I […]


Beko DSL: Hessien, Moscow Olympics, and more

For part 2 of my indie dream pop bender, I discovered a very cool French netlabel called Beko DSL (digital single label), which boasts a free new single w/ b-side(s) every Monday.  Today, I will post a few tracks off Beko’s exciting and eclectic catalogue, I highly recommend you hop on over to their site […]


The Radio Dept., The Rice Twins, Asobi Seksu, Pia Fraus

Time for some dream pop, the kind of hazy, frenetic shoegaze that plays like orange-pink clouds reflecting off the mirror in your room back in the late 80’s or mid 90’s.  The light refracts and illuminates your collection of casio and swatch wristwatches to be worn on both hands, the jewel on your treasure troll’s […]


M. Rahn, And.Id, Pigi+Pirupa, Hermanez

Got a bunch of deep, dubby, tech joints for you today, I have been busier than ever recently, between freelance and contract work, applications to school, New York, and Moodgadget, but I simply haven’t been posting because the little new music I’ve been listening to is largely unreleased, and therefore, unbloggable.  However, I did take […]
