Juiceboxxx - Thunder Jam #3

Thunder Jam #3 is just one of several gems on Juiceboxxx's 2005 release, "R U There God?? Itz me Juiceboxxx." With electric beats and an 80s-style cadence, Juiceboxxx is a Milwaukee, Wisconsin based rapper and producer whose musical output is a brilliant and original synthesis of hip hop now and throughout history. The recordings have sense of humor and DIY feel that makes it a standout among a myriad of overproduced hip hop albums. What does not come through on the recordings is that Juiceboxxx performances are raw, real and full of the energy of a true entertainer.

Brian E with The Egyptian Lover - This Nu Electro

Influenced by classic electronic artists like Giorgio Moroder, Kraftwerk and Magma, as well as Michael Jackson, Brian E is an up-and-coming DJ and electronic artist from Escondido, a city outside San Diego, California. Brian E has performed in Astra, PEA and Birdzilla.

Android Lust - Stained (remix by OccultTechnologies)

Elegant and moving, the OccultTechnologies remix of Stained by Android Lust is a must hear electronic track. It combines a danceable dark beat with unique vocals accompanying. Like Trent Reznor is Nine Inch Nails, Shikhee is Android Lust. Android Lust are a glitchy-industrial darkwave-type music project that hails out of New York. Active since the mid-nineties, Android Lust recently completed a tour in support of their recent album release, "The Human Animal," which came out on July 22, 2010.
