I’ve kept this site as bare bones as possible for the past 4 years, trying to keep it content-driven (all about the tunes). So I guess it’s time I spiff it up a bit… or at least hire a buddy of mine to do it. I’ll definitely try to keep it as usable as it…

Coming Soon: Altern8 – Frequency Remixes EP
I got an email today pointing me to a new remix EP coming out for Altern8’s “Frequency”. I’ll admit, my first thought when hearing “brand new remixes of a classic rave track” is “do not want/nothx2u/kill it with fire/etc”.
