Since April begins with the lightheartedness of April Fool’s Day, it seems fitting to write a piece about music’s most famous fool, or in this case clown, Pagliaccio. Operas have phased out of popular culture as of late with the rise of musicals as the popular medium of combining theatre and music. This decline is, […]

Since it’s Thanksgiving, I thought it would be fitting to look back and give thanks to a band that seems to have fallen out of the mainstream conversation of 70s rock, Redbone. The Native American rock band would go on to become one of the hidden gems of the musical renaissance of the late-60s and […]

Tropical house is to Klingande as butter is to toast. These two form a symbiotic relationship, one that is known worldwide. Now, tropical house is a genre of many sounds and many styles, it’s best to understand who does what.

Dillon Francis has been DJing since the Myspace era. His take on 90’s hip-hop has been his inception to the music world. Quickly gaining attention from EDM legend Diplo, together they released the track “Que Que”, which embraced the 110 bpm Moombahton subgenre – an EDM spin on Reggaetón.
Coog Radio Boiler Room Set | Graphic by Ram Armendariz Spooky season is officially here. Bats with bold Victorian letters have replaced standard Twitter names. Halloween decorations are out, scary movies are a daily thing, and most importantly Coog Radio is putting on their second Boiler Room set with in-house student DJs to formally summon […]
Electronic music has been around for many years now. Most if not every generation has seen its influence one way or another. Since the 1920s, people have become more and more inclined to be a part of this new development. However, since time is cyclical, we might see a complete 180 in style. We will go from […]

Have you ever wondered what Tame Impala would sound like if Kevin Parker continued in the musical direction of Innerspeaker? I like to think that the Chicago-based Post Animal is the answer to that question. The five piece hasn’t been around for that long, yet they sound so experienced and tight that it’s hard to believe […]
Coy the Band I had the pleasure of getting to meet all the members of the trio band “Coy” in person one sunny afternoon in an undisclosed café somewhere in Uptown Houston. From the moment I shook all of their hands, I knew this band had something special. Prior to meeting Aaron and Kameron, I […]
This show. Oh boy, I could not stop thinking about this show before and after. It was my most anticipated show of the year by far. It might even be my favorite show of the year (currently in competition with Twin Peaks at the Secret Group). I came for Starcrawler, stayed for Skating Polly, and […]
