Another study from the Ecstasy and Related Drugs Reporting System (EDRS) found over two thirds of Australians were...

Your EDM Premiere: Second Single off Misanthrop's Upcoming 'Analog' LP Revels in the Anticipation of 'Heute Nacht' [Neosignal]

Well, Misanthrop’s announced a new album due out shortly so it’s basically pencils down and pay attention until then. Analog, due out on Neosignal on November 8, continues some of the sound experiments Misanthrop was playing with in his 2017 EP Blurred but he’s attacking it from a different angle this time. Not only are all the tracks on Analog hand-stitched with no sound samples and mostly analog equipment but each track has its own story. Neosignal released the first track off Analog, “Deus,” last week and it certainly showcased the “analog” point for this album. With lots of modular synth work and what sounds like actual...
