I hate internet memes. Yeah, sure, I think they’re as funny as the next person, but when they start to crossover into everything else, that’s where I draw the line. The mix from Chicago’s Only Children that accompanies this post marks the third time in a single week where Double Rainbow has popped up as [...]

Last month at Strangers in Stereo we launched the Strange Sounds Series, a family of mixtapes wherein each member of the collective chooses an artist to helm a mix representative of their respective blog’s taste.
You may remember our introduction to Hard Mix from a few months back. Noah’s hazy, sample-heavy rhythms were easy favorites and [...]

Nicky Digital’s Pre-Party Jamz mix series has been a great, long-running project (he’s nearing the 100th edition). I try to keep up, though I admit to sometimes slacking and having to circle back through and grab a few misses.

There comes a time when it’s your moment for the “next thing” and I’ve spent the past [...]

Dan Black’s fantastic debut album UN get’s it proper North American release this Tuesday, February 16th, and while we have already touted its awesomeness when the album had its European release last year, it doesn’t take much of an excuse to promote him and his talents one more time.
For those unfamiliar, UN is chock full [...]

Remember when I mentioned that some of the Chicago Disco Massive were launching a new disco-centric party in the new year? I rarely post on specific events, but today they unveiled their first guest as the one and only Mike Simonetti (of Italians Do It Better) and that’s one hell of a kickoff that’s left [...]
