Premiere: Gagarin’s “Phenomenology” EP Brings Together Four Distinctive Sounds Into One Release

/in , , /by

Gagarin’s latest EP, Phenomenology, is a collection of four individual pieces, each based or featuring an event, a sound, a “thing “ – a phenomenon.

Originally a drummer, Gagarin creates music that crosses boundaries from sound art to dance music to free improvisation to ambient. His recent work, including his album “Corvid”, is driven by aching melody, treated and raw found sounds, subtle beat programming, distressed atmospheres, and space.

/in , , /by

Only a few years old, the Pangea Podcast has been creating a following and listener base that is getting larger every day. Staying relevant over the last fifteen years has not been easy given that catchy trends and corny jingles seem to still rule the day, but the ride has been well worth it. I am not even sure if we succeeded at that, quite frankly. Nonetheless, Pangea was and still remains at the forefront of American Progressive House dance music, and the artists highlighted on our anniversary release, Pangea XV, show why.
