EP Review: Millsart – Powerland
Part 6 in the Axis Expressionist series The relationship between our star, the source that gives us life and the land we occupy during this transcendental process is one of sensitivity and compassion.

Album Review: Jeff Mills – The Eyewitness
“Trauma and the shock effect of it – the leftover residue of harsh reality so impactful that it shapes the way you imagine, envision and calculate your position in regard to everything and everyone around you.

Album Review: Jeff Mills – The Trip: Enter The Black Hole
Since the beginning of humanity, man has always wondered about what lies beyond the Stars. The relevance to what and who we are, but also what we will eventually become and where we need to go.

EP Review: Jeff Mills – The Other Maria
The Other Maria represents the character trait each of us has inside within ourselves. The silent part of us that we try to regulate, keep restrained from others and managed just beyond reach from the rest of the World. It represents the compartmentalized potential to do, say and respond with great chaotic harm, despite all unfortunate …
