Apparently they've shut up shop now too. I'm not too arsed about some of these sites disappearing, but TMT were pretty good. I really liked the Piteous Gate review and I've still got a couple of their longer pieces bookmarked to get through.
do you think tmt shuttering (not for good?) will leave room for others?
2010s: Deception Music - https://www.tinymixtapes.com/features/2010s-deception-music-demonic-listening-in-diabolical-times
Demonic listening in diabolical times.
There's a pop at blissblog in this one and there seems to be some overlap with barty and luka's harlequin what with all the talk of demons and 'demonic listening'.
In the spirit of demonic listening, and in response to the outgrowth from Simon Reynolds’s much-contested “Rise of Conceptronica” essay (a sterling example of our most demonic tendencies), I proclaim the deceptive, diabolical, demonic (triple DDD #guyfieri) spirit of the 2010s as “The Rise of Deceptronica.” Deceptronica is an amazing new genre of music that the 2010s uniquely gave birth to, henceforth trademarked by Tiny Mix Tapes. Deceptronica™ is an outgrowth of demonic listening, a recursive music encoded at the diabolical intersection of obfuscation and clarity, mystery and accessibility. What makes a sound accessible for some could be mysteriously alienating to others; and, precisely at this junction, our ears pique into demonic attention.
i admire the magazine for being so uncompromising, but it is often hard to work out what their writers are on about - the reviews that are like experimental fiction are particularly challenging in that respect! but they did plough a unique furrow - they really put their stamp on the whole concepty zone, from hypnagogic through vaporwave to all C-tronica people.
