1 week ago AraabMuzik: Electronic Dream 2 review – the return of a maximalist MPC wizard

(Genre Defying Entertainment/D Production)This sequel retains the original’s generation-defining mix of dread and debauchery, although it is overshadowed by recent bolder versions of the soundCould there be a better time for AraabMuzik – the Rhode Island MPC wizard also known as Abraham Orellana – to return with a sequel to Electronic Dream, his generation-defining 2011 debut?

Multiplexes are for watching films that have been dubbed over by some gobby ne’er-do-well crunching on a never-ending bucket of popcorn. Multiperspectivalism looks an interesting concept, sure, but we’re too thick to understand it properly and now we’ve got a headache. And the multiverse? This one not causing you enough misery?Re: Hamrun Spartans’ shoot-out win over Zalgaris and it being ‘the first time a Maltese side have made it beyond this round, becoming part of football history’ (yesterday’s Football Daily).
