Although we just returned from a trip to Japan, my Nashville City Guide has been a long time coming, so I’m finally sharing it (don’t worry, Japan is soon to come!). Nashville has been on my ‘to-do’ list as a city to visit for quite some time. I must admit that country is probably my [...]

Oakland-based producer Shortcircles, a.k.a. Matthew Tammariello, is definitely one of the most promising new purveyors of blissed-out electronica that I’ve heard in some time. “All I Can Be For You” is the first single off of his forthcoming debut Between The Waves. The track is built on an airy and effervescent glide supported by light, bubbling [...]
