Electronic Substance Abuse – Themes of Carnal Empowerment Part 1: Lust
Release Date: March 13, 2012
Label: Tympanik Audio
Website: electronicsubstanceabuse.com

Review by: Neska Lapicki

Electronic Substance Abuse (ESA) returns in 2012 with Themes of Carnal Empowerment. Slated to be released in two parts, March 13 brought us Part 1: Lust and it is aptly named because this album makes me seriously happy in my pants. The brainchild of Jamie Blacker, ESA is known for playing fast and loose with genre, and this release is no exception! Wildly varied, deeply layered, and expertly mastered by Yann Faussurier (Iszoloscope/iVardensphere), Lust offers something for all manner of electronic music junkies while delivering a completely addictive listening experience.

iVardensphere: Beats, Blood and Boris!

By: Neska Lapicki

iVardensphere is a band that doesn’t so much defy genre as embrace and incorporate lots and lots of them. Launched in 2008 and most often referred to as tribal industrial, iVardensphere’s sound is more easily recognizable by what it isn’t than anything else. Far from the generic 4/4 oontz oontz oontz that inundates much of the club scene, Scott Fox (DJ @ SICK, Das OOntz), Chris Lacroix (Virtual Terrorist), Yann Faussurier (Camanecroszcope, iszolosocpe, Memmaker) and Frederic Scarfone (Katastroslavia, iszoloscope, Memmaker) bring forth an audacious and absolutely fearless blend of musical styles that allows each song to go exactly where it needs to.

Monsters on Tour II with Special Guest Angelspit
May 3, 2011
Baltimore, Maryland, United States @ The Quarter @ Bourbon Street

Review by: William Dashiell Hammett

One thing, above all else, was confirmed on Tuesday, May 3, 2011 in Baltimore: Andy LaPlegua is a showman, knowing exactly what to do to get the most response from his audience.

The night, as all nights in Baltimore, started slowly.  The crowd drifting in gradually as the first opening act, Star Killer, took to the stage.  Based out of Brooklyn, New York, Star Killer served the purpose of an opener.  Other then playing a decidedly hard style of music, best described as hard rock; they aren’t quite the genre fit one would have expected to be opening for some of the top aggressive Electro acts in the scene.
