Today I’d like to take you outside of yourself for a second, let you experience what it feels like to see your own psyche as you float above yourself. (Yeah… sometimes I get a little deep, but you all love it, really.) What I’m talking about is music that truly transcends the limitations of what … More [Out of the Box] Mndsgn
Last year marked a lot of firsts for me: first festival (SXSW), first time interviewing a Korean artist, first time meeting my new sisters in indie, Jenna and Rebecca. Among those was the opportunity to see my first electronica artist live: haihm. Though the lighting was a bit of an issue (as was her placement) … More Cy Recommends – haihm

Anyone who knows me knows I have an affinity for big voices. And while South Korea certainly isn’t lacking in talent, after a while hearing the same type of R&B just becomes… blah. However, when multiple members of clube$kimo hype up one singer in particular, trust I’m going to take an interest. Of course it helps … More Cy Recommends – SAAY

On this edition of Cy Recommends, I’m bringing a group I discovered through another. A few years ago I fell in love with a rap duo called ILLAP. Comprised of rapper Jjang Youseok and DJ/producer DJ DOL, the group’s music was aggressive, irreverent, and gripped me from the moment I heard the first notes of … More Cy Recommends – WAVISABIROOM
