everyone knows that KATIE SKETCH, former frontwoman of (now defunct) toronto-based band THE ORGAN is amazing. and seriously skilled at a number of things-- in addition to her success as a musician and model for MARC JACOBS, the canadian renaissance woman has taken up a new venture-- opening a bar with ex-bandmate, jenny smith. and god dammit, she's good at it. sadly enough, i think that at this point it's evident that sketch's supposed side project for the past oh i dunno two plus years is on hiatus indefinitely. especially after that AMAZING glimpse we were given in 2007 from one of their few (only?) performance(s).
all i have to say is DAMN, DAMN, DAMN!
if you're feeling as depressed and nostalgic as i am, maybe a few of my favorite organ songs will cheer you up or something. if that doesn't work, you can always eat chocolate.

STEVE NALEPA is so-cal based electronic musician who's been working with solid artists in the world of electronic music for some time now. he'll most definitely be making a name for himself in the near future. and his recently released EP sunflowers is going to help guarantee that. unfortunately for nalepa, the remixes on the EP put the original track to shame in a big way. i've been cranking these remixes nonstop lately, and one of the things i love best about them is how incredibly different each one is. and by different i mean it's pretty much impossible to deduce that they stem from the same song. I was so pleasantly surprised by that i didn't even mind the one remix that was kinda bullshit. if you're into it, i recommend listening to these tracks in a lifted state.

so i just can't seem to stop raving about machine drum. I caught this track he worked on with glitch/dubstep DJ cacheflowe, who has also worked with some serious electronic giants. this is from his 2008 release cache, stacks, and queues.

august is approaching, and with it comes some serious excitement for me. I'll be traveling all over the east coast, and hopefully catching some cool happenings which will all be documented narratively and photographically. i've also got some exciting announcements to make as we gear up for the fall.
