Here’s what veteran electronic music producer Static Revenger told us:   My Best Decision To get out of the culture of major label deals.

It was a deliberate decision on my part to no longer be signed to...

  • Lunice Is On Rap’s Futuristic Frontier

    Lunice Talks About TNGHT and Working with Hudson Mohawke Lunice is one of the many young artists that Scion AV is working with who pushes the boundaries of what hip-hop can be. The young producer remains one of 2013′s hottest prospects, as listeners wait to hear what he’ll unleash next through both his solo work and his project TNGHT with Hudson Mohawke. Lunice is capable of blending disparate movements into his music, incorporating bass-heavy sounds like trap music, the skittering snares of Chicago’s juke and his own percussive flexing on the MPC. Sometimes listening to these compositions can feel like you’re hearing the personal video...
