The internet is packed with artists trying to hype themselves. Try browsing today’s popular songs on Soundcloud. Most of what you get is made with laptops, beatboxes and a whole lot of social networking. (Anything acoustic is rare.) It took at least three hours, listening to a few hundred (if not thousand) songs and a [...]

There’s some kind of trend in music these days. And it seems it hit the mainstream hard as of last year: elektronic/analog beats with dreamy, indie vocals.

Those sweet looks belong to Ioanna Borovska. Born in Bulgaria, raised in the U.S. She started playing records in the late nineties. She’s been around ever since, making great productions and quite a career as Drum and Bass [...]
