A new video from the one-man, New York-based beatmusic project Raja. The track is “Vapor Trails,” and it comes from one of three albums the project has released this year. The album this song lands on, Witch, is the darkest release of the three. Like “Vapor Trails,” some of the

The Burial of the Dead by Axel Thesleff On his debut album, Axel Thesleff is doing a lot with a little. The music’s self-produced sound didn’t exactly stun my ears, but the creativity and ambition shown in tracks like the one above did. The 12-minute “the Burial of

Since I started blogging about 1-Minute Miracles, I’ve been asked questions I just can’t answer. All I truly know is this project is dropping some serious nuggets of beat-backed joy! The biggest question I get is where someone could even download this stuff. Well, the announcement has been
