In 2014, “John Wick” came as a defibrillator shock to the action movie genre. It managed to feel fresh and exciting by subverting many of the tropes of the genre that had, at that point, become stale. The much-welcome sequel, “John Wick: Chapter Two,” has arrived to deliver more of what was so loved about the first one. Keanu Reeves plays the titular character

“Constellations” feels like Stargazing

February 22, 2017December 16, 2017 Gabe Carrio0

A few months ago, future bass artist Grant Bowtie (signed to the indie electronic label Monstercat) went through a rebirth, and changed his name to simply “Grant.” A lot of Grant Bowtie’s music was upbeat, very feel good, and incredibly easy to bob your head to.

February 22, 2017December 16, 2017 Gabe Carrio0

February 8, 2017December 16, 2017 Gabe Carrio0

Trance is one of my favorite EDM subgenres because it does exactly what the name says: it puts me in a trance. It’s so easy to just put on some high quality trance, relax, and space out as your thoughts take over and the world around you ceases to exist.

February 8, 2017December 16, 2017 Nick Klotz0
