RP Boo, Legacy
May 15, 2013 – 12:01 AM
RP Boo has released very few tracks officially; ignoring Dude Off 59th Street, a mix of mostly of his own tracks, it’s fair to call Legacy his debut. It’s also the best footwork LP in some time.

Ital, Hive Mind
February 28, 2012 – 11:01 AM

Kuedo, Videowave
July 21, 2011 – 12:01 AM

Boxcutter, The Dissolve
June 16, 2011 – 10:01 AM

Ikonika, Dckhdbtch
September 2, 2010 – 10:01 AM
On Dckhdbtch‘s three tracks, Ikonika imbues her video game inspired tracks with a sophistication that was only hinted at in prior work.
Oriol, Night and Day
August 11, 2010 – 10:01 AM
While bright and easy on the ears, Oriol’s debut album, Night and Day, too often feels like the work a burgeoning talent who is still grappling with his influences.
