Rising pop artist hailing from Salt Lake City, Madge begins a national tour from Washington State to New York with a stop in Washington D.C. at DC9 on September 27, 2003.
Exceptionally timed with the recent release of her latest EP, ravepack, and featuring the single “notss,” the tour is certain to span the gap between goth and pop through tight rhythms and shadow-invoking imagery.
About the EP, Madge says, “ravepack is pop from the dungeon, an exploration of adorable meets f*cked up in the post-Soviet underground. I was 90 percent sad and 10 percent raving when I made these songs, produced by Grandbankss and co-written with Tzar. Between each track is an interlude that I created myself DJ-style so the mixtape translates as one continuous set to feel existential dread to.”
“notts” is a beautifully complicated track with echoes of VGM, industrial, and J-pop and features a vocal arrangement full of effects that is utilized to capture a very particular tone throughout. If you’d like to hear a more natural sounding vocal, check out “one heart baby,” though throughout the album a variety of vocal effects are displayed to help convey various emotions or resonances.

Flow-bending artist aSanTIS discusses art, culture, and whether sound can solve the world’s problems in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month.
My interview with Amy Santis aka aSanTIS began in the most unexpected way. The Maryland-based flow-bending artist and lyrical storyteller came prepared to engage in conversation around questions I had posed – and she also brought one or two of her own thoughtful prompts based on her curiosities around my view of learning.
This practice of taking in her surroundings deeply through observation and inquiry has come naturally to aSanTIS ever since she was a young child. In terms of her early starts in music, she notes that she began as a discerning listener. “Just listening to music from my mom, on the radio, just being a consumer in the world of sound. But I think mainly, my mom has always loved dancing and listening to music, so that was sort of like second nature. We play music at gatherings, we play music in the car, and these songs are sort of like diaries that take us into a specific place.”
