I loved every minute of their 2008 album, so much so that I still repeatedly play it when i feel the need to relieve me from built-up stress. It works wonders. Tarot Sport builds upon that. Naming an album after the card game is one thing, but to make a song as repetitive in this genre ...

Nosaj Thing – Drift
You can't read much about Nosaj Thing aka Jason Chung (as simple as Jason spelled backwards) without finding a reference to Flying Lotus. The two are both active in the LA beat culture and have a comparable style, which some would describe as instrumental glitch-hop, whatever that means. But ...

Massive Attack – “Atlas Air” •

I’m Still Here (2010)
The documentary felt a little monotonous , the cut and paste style could be more refined. I missed some sort of moral, but the mockumentary in itself was pretty fun.
