Henry Steinway is an LA based producer known under the pseudonyms Clockwork, his electro house project, and RL Grime, a persona more focused on hip hop and trap music as shown in his album VOID, the first full length album under either alias.  RL Grime first started to gain popularity with his remix of "Mercy" by Kanye West and singles...
This is a collection of good albums you should check out and my reviews of the albums. Krewella Get Wet Album Review Columbia Records Released September 20, 2013 Genre: Electro House, Progressive House, Dubstep, Drum & Bass, Drumstep Get Wet is a masterpiece.  I expected a lot of Krewella through the Party Hard EP and the sneak peeks they released in the weeks leading up to...

Avicii True Album Review PRMD, Univrsal Island Records Released September 13, 2013 Genre: Electronic Dance, Folktronica By Drew Curran Avicii’s first full length album had me excited.

Extraction, Netflix's latest action film starring Chris Hemsworth, written by the Russo brothers of Marvel Fame, and veteran stunt coordinator Sam Hargrave's directorial debut. Does Extraction succeed in what Netflix wanted with mid-budget action flick? For the most part, yes, Extraction is another movie under Netflix's belt that proves they can compete with larger studios like Disney and Universal when it...
SPOILER ALERT: No Fixed Address by Nickelback is awful. For all of the die-hard Nickelback fans out there, this new album is comprised of 11 songs that sound identical.
