Emperor X

It's hard to put Emperor X into any one genre because he covers so much musical ground, but you can count on whatever he delves into being catchy.. I catch glimmers of everything from Pinback to Manitoba.. Lo-Fi Pop should all sound like this.

Vim

Vim - "Perpetual Autumn EP"
Another outstanding release from the Monotonik camp. Discovering that label has made me a very happy boy indeed, who doesn't like free EPs? Vim is the most active member of Monotonik, with somewhere around 10(?) releases under his belt. The newest EP is my favorite release of his to date. Thick, full synths have lazy conversations with each other, weaving through complex melodies and occasional glitchy laptop beats that somehow manage to remain relaxing. Vim's newest release definitely draws influence from artists such as Boards of Canada, Plaid, and M83 but keeps it's own personality and shines because of it.
