Goldielocks / I’M NOT HER
February 26th, 2010 by Converse Music GOLDIELOCKS – I’M NOT HER
Much like her name which conjures images of the sweet but naughty little girl from the childhood tale of the Three Bears, this independent musical force is most definitely not the sweet and innocent blonde that she may appear to be. Hailing from Croyden, Goldielocks is a producer, DJ and [...]

Read MoreThe Detachments / Night Plane Remix
December 18th, 2009 by Converse MusicTHE DETACHMENTS
Arty London types use amp overdrive and late 70s-inspired drums to create one gloriously gruesome noise. James Ford, Artic Monkeys’ continuous choice of knob fiddling, is currently on part time production duties for their upcoming debut LP. So prepare for vast aural areas of ambience, and that same cold, unknowing feeling you’d feel [...]
