whoism: Maurice Fulton
Whoism – the first in a series of posts dedicated to the (maybe relatively unsung) musical heroes that made us at Infinite State Machine who were are today. A quick five or so tracks per post: a classic, a lesser known tune, a recent release, etc. Sometimes it feels like people don’t really talk about…
SEAGRAVE Records: Various – Savage Re (SR011)
SEAGRAVE Records out of the UK is a label that came to my attention after they released an excellent Best Available Technology/Ovis Aurum split cassette EP entitled Mar Reflection in the fall of last year.

Guest Mix: Dean Feeney (Tr One) & Shane O’Meara (Gary’s Gang)

A niche had opened and this was something we had to…
Linkwood – Expressions
One of my favorite tracks of the year so far is the title track from Linkwood’s album Expressions. I’ve actually had the album since late last year, and had it come out in 2014 it would have been near the top of my list for that year. Now that I’ve had time to really digest…

divisive states 2: Carlos Santana
“If Santana works then the real shit is going to kill ’em!” -Francis Grasso, DJ at the Sanctuary NY, 1970, from Love Saves the Day. Did Carlos Santana get a bad rap? At the end of the 60s his band was obscure, then they played Woodstock and many said they were the highlight. But as…
