Jason Letkiewicz aka Steve Summers latest EP moves forward from his previous efforts touching upon the seedier and more jacking side of what New York City House music once was. Bringing to mind images of a more dangerous and exciting city where crackheads roamed free, hookers hooked, fiends copped bags and music existed as a reactionary reflection of its surroundings. Directly influenced by these times, Summers took his arsenal and concocted an emotional four song record that nods to this period as well as foreshadows the impending doom of a city wrapped in an airtight bubble.

The Portland duo Soft Metals present their debut self titled LP on Captured Tracks. Ian Hicks and Patricia Hall, music and voice, have combined to make a mechanical, robotic yet very human record and it’s the result of the by-play at work between Hick’s machine like synths, effects and beats and Hall’s ethereal and dreamy vocals. The album includes 10 synth-pop track.
