Still, the genre at its outset was about so much more. Dubstep at its most creative is really just a slow-bpm, low-end-centric…
Remember when life was measured in 2MB floppy disks? That all feels so ridiculous now —using something ten times bigger than a flash drive to transfer a thousand times less information. But there’s also something sad about the life cycle of technology. And for London artist Nick Gentry, who was…
Roberta Smith of the New York Times calls him “game-changing.” Peter Schjeldahl of The New Yorker calls him “the most consequential artist to have emerged since the 1980s.” We call him “the wired wizard of id.” Ryan Trecartin, whose “Any After” is on view at the Museum of Contemporary Art,…

DJ Laz is a nice guy. Just ask all the strippers whose kids he’s put through college. They’ll tell you it took longer than an FPL refund check, but it was worth it. We’re not saying Laz is cheap, but he takes a bag full of quarters with him to…
