It’s always magic in music when everything just seems to fit. The way the lyrics move through the melody to personify the words; the way the production works to emphasize the dissonance; the way the sound pulsates through your veins, into your bones to resonate in your gut before bursting through your every pore in dance.

Very little is known about The Amplifetes — and by very little I mean me. In fact, aside from the video that was released days ago, it was hell to find a promotional copy of the song. The video may just start as your average small-kids-do-grown-up-things-dressed-in-grown-up-clothes, but you soon realize that there is more that […]
Plug in your headphones for this one folks ’cause the drop in this track is heavy and it’s deep. Swedish trio, Miike Snow continue to deliver fire tracks, but add in dance-pop maestro Jacques Lu Cont and you have a track that threatens to blow your speakers (really though, if you’re going to do that […]
For years when it came to EMPT I’ve been a one man band man. For those of you not familiar with the term coined by contemporary painter, producer, rapper Kasseem Dean aka Swizz Beatz, that basically means that from top to bottom I’ve running the show. Of course all credit due to Steph and the […]

I’ve been rocking with the new Miike Snow album but for some reason haven’t felt compelled to post anything. Then this morning Penguin Prison sent me their remix of Paddling Out and well that’s a different story. Penguin Prison brings the song about surfing to the dance floor with their beloved brand of disco-infused synth stabs, […]
Ethereal – extremely delicate and light in a way that seems too perfect for this world. Press play on Ryan Radlers latest mix tape and that’s exactly how the music will make you feel, immediately. The effect is no coincidence and if you’re hip to the anti-summer/anti-winter concepts then you know that’s what these tapes are […]

I think releasing Ryans mixtapes on Monday’s has completely altered my perception of this previously dreaded day. I don’t know about you guys but everything in my life revolves around music, it’s my bread & butter, my hobby, basically all of the above. I love it so there are no complaints, however I’m a fan […]

Steph used the original version of Sabali waaaay back in the now infamous mai 2009 (The Lost Tape) installment of Le Miel du Mois. I remember not knowing what to think when I first heard the track but being completely captured by the emotion and vibe. The blind couple from Mali recently dropped a 13 […]

A week ago my hosting company called in saying that EMPT outgrew it’s server and did over 1 terabyte is traffic. They congratulated me and the readers for our music addictions but told me that I owed them $10,000 in fees, right. They basically wanted to blame me for their accounting mistakes so yesterday, I […]
