Underworld snippets from 2015

Underworld at the Hollywood Bowl on 06.21.15.
Today would've marked the long-anticipated return of U.K. electronic duo Underworld to Los Angeles. They were originally scheduled to perform at the Shrine Expo Hall this evening. But like everything else from this unfortunate year, Karl Hyde and Rick Smith had to sadly cancel their highly anticipated U.S. tour.I'm fairly bummed about that, since I …

Jon Hopkins & Kelly Lee Owens’ “Luminous Spaces”

I wasn't expecting to post this particular track from English artist Jon Hopkins this afternoon, seeing that I actually featured it a few years back.

The Joy Formidable perform at the Teragram Ballroom on 12.21.19.
In keeping with keeping on, I was digging through all my old blog prep, and found this show from The Joy Formidable. Unfortunately, this one never made it online, before I decided to hit the pause button earlier this year. As it turns out, I've got a few of these live shows in various states …
