Ardon England - EP Review: That's Camp

09 May 2024 // A review by djnamehere

As you can probably tell, That's Camp by Ardon England would most appeal to LBGTQA+ listeners. This is a six track EP. Though, one track is a radio edit of another. I think that this falls into the more house/bass house category. It's somewhat vocal, although, the vocals are mostly what you get from typical EDM tracks, as opposed to standard pop songs. There's some singing, and some talking.

Leather Daddy - I'm not going to lie, I found this track amusing, specifically the lyrics. "Ooh la la" I thought that it had a good rhythm once it got going. This one had a prominent intro.

Plastic feat. Krisy Erin felt more lyrical than the other tracks. I would say this is heavy on rhyming. It felt like there were two solid verses in this track.

F.E.M. Man - I really like the tune in this, and think it has a good message, "I'm a Fem and IDGAF" (note: I have abbreviated the lyric, it's not abbreviated in the track.)

With Make Them Listen I found the lyrics quite amusing "play the song on the sound system, everybody's here, but nobody's listening." I found the tune to be somewhat variant. I think that I like segments of the track better than others. However music is subjective.

Neon World feat. Keshia - I really like the intro vocal in this, but I'm a sucker for female sounding vocals. The other vocals sound a bit faint, which undoubtedly was what Ardon was going for. This track sounded a bit louder than the others.

The radio edit of the above track didn't keep the intro vocals. I wish it would have, but people may disagree.

I generally liked most of the tunes in this EP, and I found some of the lyrics amusing. I would say that I like the tracks for different reasons. Great job Ardon!

Ant Tarrant - Album Review: Beachtopia
10 May 2024 // by djnamehere
I assumed that the album Beachtopia by Ant Tarrant would have a tropical pop feel to it, and this was pretty accurate. This seemed to be an upbeat and love themed EP.

I found Ghost Score's new EP 00 to have a variety of sound. Even though, this was a four track EP, some of the tracks sounded quite different to each other.

I last saw PRINS at a nightclub. The nightclub crowd was the typical demographic that I party with.

Boardgames for Blondes - Album Review: On The Run
25 Feb 2024 // by djnamehere
I found the band Boardgames for Blondes to be a natural sounding band, as opposed to modern day electronic music. The majority of the lyrics are actually understandable, unlike some other modern pop songs out there.

Gig Review: Ivy @ Darkroom, Christchurch - 02/02/2024

Ivy Christchurch show opened with Ragweed and closed with a DJ duo playing house tracks. Ragweed was more of a head bangy set.

Moofish - Album Review: Entropia
08 Dec 2023 // by djnamehere
The music that is on Moofish's newest album Entropia consists of slow songs. Honestly, I couldn't really understand most of the lyrics, but that is not rare with music these days.
