I will be the first to admit that the occult bona-fides of this week’s Monday Magick entry are questionable at best. But let me explain why I chose to feature “Eye in the Sky” from UK-based Prog-Rockers The Alan Parsons Project’s 1982 LP of the same name before you go[…]

Wild Ones – Dim the Lights (Video)
“Dim the Lights” from Porland, Oregon’s Wild Ones is the type of song I used to listen to on my headphones in the dark back when I used to stay up all night writing and coding. The video for the Indie-Disco-Synth Pop jam, which was directed by Montana Wildhack, is[…]
Active Child – Stranger (Video)
New Jersey’s Active Child made an appearance on our Clandestine Transmission podcast with his bass-heavy club ballad “Stranger” a few months ago. Now he’s dropped a Basak Erol-directed video clip for the song featuring some eerie witch-doctor-ritual-inspired choreography and imagery. “Stranger” is from his newest album ‘Mercy’, out now on[…]

Stephen Hawking Says “There’s a Way Out” of a Black Hole
Famed theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking has long held the opinion that speghettification would be the likely result of attempting to pass through the “event horizon” of a black hole. Other scientists have countered that supposition by offering an alternative theory that a person falling into a black hole might actually[…]
Monday Magick: Power of Zeus – The Sorcerer of Isis (Video)
This week Monday Magick indulges in some head-nodding goodness in the form of a breakbeat classic well known in beat digging circles. “Sorcerer of Isis” from Detroit four-piece Power of Zeus, from the band’s 1970 release ‘The Gospel According to Zeus’, an oft-sampled slice of psychedelia, is that “from the[…]
Diaspora – Wit a Indigo (Video)
I wasn’t really anticipating ever posting a Willow Smith video, but this “Wit a Indigo” joint she cooked up with her Diaspora crew is right up my alley. The lyrics are on some mystical, metaphorical, metaphysical shit, the production is sample-based and bass heavy, and the video is psychedelic as[…]
‘The Witch’ Official Trailer (Video)
Writer/Director Robert Eggers’ ‘The Witch’ built a significant buzz at the last Sundance Film Festival and I’ve been dying to see it ever since. After a lengthy wait, the tale of occult horror set in the woodlands of colonial era New England is finally coming to theaters some time within[…]
