Ross immediately put his share of the earnings to good use and purchased all the equipment he would then use to experiment with and create electronic music as StéLouse (pronounced “Stay Loose”). In 2014 he released remixes of huge tracks like Odesza’s “Say...

Album Review || Gorillaz – Humanz

Posted by | May 15, 2017 | ,

The hotly-anticipated Humanz is a change in direction for Gorillaz, with a more hip-hop, mainstream feel. 2017 has already been a year of great music with many artists releasing unprecedented tracks.

As a fan of ATB’s older work, I was apprehensive to dive into his new album. Over...
