Google hi-fi speakers vs monitors. Go ahead, do it. I got 1,050,000 results. You’re here for the real answer aren’t you? I have the definitive answer below. It’s true.

Don’t read the manufacturers BS. Don’t read the 1 million web pages, because 99% are all going to tell you a different answer than I am going to tell you. And definitely don’t ask someone inside “the industry” because they too want to sell you speakers and keep having food on their tables.

There is this concept that hi-fi speakers are intended to sound “good” and monitors are intended to sound “accurate”. Let’s assume this is a completely true GENERALIZATION. Yes, a generalization. So now when you get down to your specifics – your specific speaker and your specific monitor – it all breaks down. Read More »

“I Tank U”
Label: SHITKATAPULT
Official Website
(4.5/5)

The new release “I Tank U” from T.Raumschmiere, the solo project Marco Haas, screams energy. Equal parts industrial, punk, rock, hip hop and straight forward pop this release is equal parts “all over the place” and yet totally coherent. A number of guest vocalists pop in and out of the release which adds even more to the already varied textures and styles. Read More »

“Exsits”
Label: Deadsix Communications
Official Website
(2.5/5)

This is the fifth full length release from Murder by Static, the solo project from Chris Stephniewski. Not having heard any previous material from Murder by Static, it’ll be hard to compare this to prior releases but I’d think it a safe bet that anyone into instrumental noise experimentation, glitch and ambient music would find a good deal to enjoy here. Pulsing, rhythmic and often very intense.. the best moments of this release definitely occur in the sparse yet very effective quiet moments. Read More »
