I’m of two minds about Dualistics’ latest disc. I know — it’s an easy, stupid play on the group’s name, but it’s also the truth. On the one hand, there are some really strong songs and likable elements on the band’s Long Tail EP. On the other, it’s got some…

Remixes, sampling and mash-ups have become part of the standard lexicon of music, and now they’re making their way to visual media.

The songs on Wire Waltz, the act’s latest…
Call it smooth, intricate, complex, jazz-influenced, even masterful, but do not call the drum-and-bass of LTJ Bukem “intelligent.” Bukem has rejected the label on the grounds that it implies that other artists aren’t intelligent, which is eminently decent of the guy.
