Skin & Steel MXTP
Drummers bending time and space to make sound feel physical. Played loud, it’s a study in space, touch, and brute force.

"Garden Grove" by Sublime
Riding shotgun in my friend's crappy car in 1996, listening to Sublime cracked something open for me: emotionally, musically, even spatially.
"Two Deliverances" by The Hotelier
There’s a snap and punch to the drums that feels almost too close. Neither glossy nor lo-fi. Just freakin' real.
Did You Know You Could Make Me Scream?
"Tell 'Em" from Sleigh Bells' album "Treats" is all climax and sonic maximalism. This maelstrom of sound topped by saccharine-sweet vocals must be heard to be believed.
And Now My Bitter Hands Chafe Beneath The Clouds
Black by Pearl Jam is a cathartic, lush, sweeping epic with a tin can start that bursts into a mellow sonic groove as big as the sky.
I Need You To Drive The Nail
Broken Man by St. Vincent is blistering, moody industrial rock with a hidden superpower–sick guitar tone.
Dreadful MXTP
A no-cheese Halloween mix tape. Creeping crawling tracks featuring monsters both real and imagined, hand-selected to deliver goosebumps in high-fidelity.
They're Knocking at Your Door
The Hardest Cut by Spoon is rock and roll–straight up. They're not doing a bit. This is not a prank, bro.
