Over the past few years, electronic music has been skewered and looked down upon, especially in the live space. With the rise of the bedroom producers and superstar DJs, mediocre DJ sets have become a new norm, with artists spending all their time making music vs. actually practicing/performing it. One of the biggest misconceptions to come out of this is that…

Viibes is back for real. The once regular playlist became a bit of rarity in 2016 but we’re bringing it back on a consistent basis for 17′. If you aren’t up on Viibes, it’s our collection of laid-back, mellow tunes where heavy bass and knocking drums meet ethereal soundscapes. It’s chillin’ out in a hammock on a lazy afternoon or…

Back in 2015, we published a list of the most inventive producers out. 2 standouts on the list are legendary producer Mr. Carmack and at the time under-the-radar brother & sister duo named Tennyson. They embodied different sounds but showed similarity in their drive to create adventurous and forward-thinking music. Imagining a collaboration between Tennyson and Carmack seemed like dream. How would…

I want to start this by saying Tennyson makes some of the best music ever, so it’s no surprise their new track ‘All Yours’ is incredible. This song makes me feel like a kid again. All of the bubbly cute sounds mixed with the crisp percussion make such a lovely blend of music to listen to. It starts off a…

Birthday Parties are awesome; but they can also suck. Much like New Year’s Eve, they involve a ton planning, anticipation, and expense, all for a night that ends up being less than extraordinary. That is unless you’re electronic music trio Keys N Krates, then things are a little different. When they announced that they would be hosting a public Birthday party at Sunnyside…

In the past few years, electronic music has seen a meteoric rise in North America and around the world. Every day, YouTube and SoundCloud turn bedroom producers into household names; pop stars, making millions of dollars each year. Though the boom has been largely positive, it has led to an over-saturation and often over-simplification in the music. Producers continue to…

Until now, we’ve been exposed to Tennyson’s quick, jazz stylings, complete with dial-tone bleeps and car-door-ajar warning bloops. With this airy piano track, Luke and Tess prove that that is not all they have to offer. ‘In One Piece’ is a timely display of Tennyson’s diverse and eclectic style. Purchase their music on iTunes and check them out on Ryan Hemsworth’s…

One thing that I have learned about getting the most out of a music festival is that being flexible and spontaneous is the best way to go. You can’t be afraid to change your plan when a friend or a stranger mentions something about a good secret guest or a pop-up show. On the fourth day of HPX 2014, I…

The Halifax Pop Explosion is an annual music and arts festival. It takes place in several different venues in Halifax, Nova Scotia and has occurred almost every autumn since 1993. This year’s event will run from October 21-25. Although it’s in an area of Canada generally known for Celtic music, Halifax has had a thriving indie music scene since the early…

Two weeks until Halifax Pop Explosion and I’m trying to force-feed myself all of the music that I could see that I’ve never heard. It’s definitely a normal routine for me. One of the several acts I’ve discovered during this routine is a young brother/sister duo from Edmonton, Alberta named Tennyson. Their track ‘You’re Cute’ was championed by Ryan Hemsworth’s ‘Secret Song’s’…
