$10
There comes a time in everyone's life when most of youth's charms and the innocence of naïveté must be tossed aside to make room for the more carnal, unbridled, foxy and dirty of habits and pleasures. This month's Pulsewave will ease you into this steamy reserve with the help of three acts more intoxicating and thick than all of last month's heat waves stuffed into a small, windowless room.
With speakers.
==================================================
» starPause [San Francisco, CA, USA]
Track bicycle fetishist and Creative Commons advocate, Jordan Gray founded the Mp3Death netaudio label in 2004. M3D has since been recognized by VORC and De:Bug for cataloging the sounds of handheld techno and the chip tune avant-garde. K9D's own music fits somewhere in between--body conscious beats and mind-melting basslines crafted on pocket-sized consumer electronics. Blasting speakers with scene-built software (LSDj & Piggy Tracker), STARPAUSE has represented at events like Blip Festival (New York City), Microdisko (Stockholm, Sweden), Lab30 (Augsburg, Germany) and Scribble This (West Bank Arts Quarter Collective in Minneapolis).

» Burnkit2600 [Danbury, CT, USA]
Thom Uliasz and Justin Emerson have been experimenting with electronic music together as Burnkit2600 since 1997. The duo have created unique sonic architecture by combining circuit-bending and other instrument modifying techniques with more traditional electronic music elements. Brett Marshall Lefferts of Seed A.I. recently joined the group, bringing his mastery of melodic 8-bit video game sounds to the mix.
Given the group’s unique background, they have been widely acclaimed by hipsters and hard core music nerds of all types, prompting unusual releases like the group’s single, ‘Weapons of Past Distractions,’ heralded as the world’s first original music on an obsolete Atari 2600 cartridge. They have also created instruments for many other like-minded musicians and collectors including Boston area producer Bill Miller and Sam Spiegel, producer for Kanye West.

» Rhinostrich [New York, NY, USA]
Recovering metalhead and longtime computer musician and tech geek, Rhinostrich, hails from New York where he has been playing breakbeat and drum ‘n’ bass the way he likes it: dark, hard, fast and with attitude.
