Nicholas Desamory: "Move Your Assets"
Nicholas Bussmann has been a part of the Berlin electronic scene for quite some time now, but he recently started a new project under the pseudonym Nicholas Desamory. Drizzling with luscious house music, Bussmann’s newest track, “Move Your Assets”, is the ambrosial product of ornate arrangements and stellar timing.

NEW SHIT POPPIN'
Admit it, OTIOBR’s previous design was pretty corny. Well, we’ve got a new design that’s certainly a lot more fun to look at (assuming you like the color green and 8-bit renderings of cities)! In addition, OTIOBR now has a TWITTER, which I’ll keep relentlessly promoting for the next few weeks.

Stockholm, Sweden product Sand Circles first gained attention in late 2010 with a few blurry, frizzly mp3s, but the mysterious project is back for a new release entitled Motor City. The sounds on the new album are engrossing, as reverb-laden synth-pop is coated with a nice sheen of ghostly primordial haze, a là Gatekeeper. “Endless Night”...
