minisystem (+ prhizzm) / unit, toronto / jan. 27



Jeff Lee aka minisystem celebrated the release of Madingley last night by packing Unit on Queen W. His music couldn't have sounded better with the help from his friend Prhizzm on keys. For a cool night, everyone was nicely toasted and bobbed along to his gorgeous driven melodic synth tracks. Buy his album through Noise Factory Records.

pantha du prince / this bliss / dial


Pantha du Prince is probably one of my top 3 techno producers of all time. His chiming minimal techno and deeply hidden melodies are delicately assembled into gorgeous deep grooving tracks. This is bliss. Pantha du Prince creates some of the loveliest noises my ears have ever heard. Highly recommended.
