“I’ve been a fan of 8bit style music for some time now and this isn’t really what I’d consider to be that in a musical sense but the idea behind it- the connection to video games and computers- is there … then you listen to a song like ‘Repurposed’ and realize these rhymes are legit and can go quite hard.” – Raised by Cassettes
Another excellent review from Raised by Cassettes, this one for Primal Winds’ The Renegades. Read the review below, or click here or on the review to head over to their site to read the review there, accompanied by many more photos of the cassette and packaging.
Primal Winds close out the summer with a new single inspired by the unusual summer of 2020 before they return to The Grid to fight for the user.
If you’re not chasing the moment, the moment isn’t chasing you. Primal Winds embrace this ethos with “Chasing Summer”, the latest instalment in their series of celebratory singles. As the season comes to a close, Iron Wind and District Prime seize the moment in order to commemorate this unforgettable summer of underground parties, off-the-grid and online performances, and public gathering restrictions due to the global pandemic. Conceived of and produced by Iron Wind, this summer jam gem expresses their passion for the music and serves as a reminder to us all: What were you chasing this summer? Enjoy this one last hurrah for the summer with Primal Winds before they return their full energy to promoting their recently-released Tron-inspired album, The Renegades.
Written and performed by District Prime and Iron Wind
Produced by Iron Wind
“[I]f you tend to partake in the type of music that has beats or soul (and let’s face it, all the best music has soul) then The Dirty Sample should be playing through your speakers.” – Raised by Cassettes
Another awesome review of The Dirty Sample’s NO! beat tape, this one by cassette culture curators Raised by Cassettes. Read the review below or click here to check out the review on their website with additional shots of the cassette.
Times are tough, so Touch is checking in with this new, self-produced song/video, “Check In”.
Cups N Cakes picks Chokeules’ Nepotism as one of their four quick picks of the week. Here’s the review…

Chokeules was interviewed last night by DJ Kazzeo for his radio show Wednesday Wreck, the longest running active hip hop radio show in Central California. Check out the archived episode. The interview happens about one hour into the show, but it’s a great two hour mix of indie and underground hip hop so I recommend the whole show if you have the time…
