  • » DIY SYNTHEZISERS: Analog purists, it’s time to sigh nostalgically.
    Whether it’s the avant-garde, 20-minute compositions of the ’70s, the glittery decedent pop stylings of the ’80s or the bombastic squelch of Chemical Brothers working it out in the ’90s, music hasn’t been the same since man first put his nimble fingers on the synthesizer knob.
  • » Vienna Calling: Last issue, Nick traveled to Berlin to discover the new sound-with-no-name emanating from the Teutonic capital. Then he hopped on a plane to visit The Family’s Austrian contingency: Stereotyp and Al-Haca, the two lost cousins of Berli

  • » Road Warrior: Loaded with the Audi Q7, BPM blazes through the heart of the one of the earth’s last untainted lands—the Australian Outback
    Driving through the Outback, you realize just how close this place is to going completely Road Warrior. Traversing 1000 km in five days, we passed exactly one gas station. One gas station in 1000 kms. If that one station doesn’t get its supply, well then, best grab the sawed-off and load up the XB Ford Falcon (Mad Max, anyone?).
