●Adaadat mix


▹This off kilter mixtape is one of the best. From the first moment you tune in you will be trapped. Adaadat an electro Hungarian style group delivers a compilation of music that will make the 20 some odd minutes fly by. There are no low points in this mix, it is one solid mass of goodness.

●Maison 4 (promo mix)

▹This promotional mixtape will make anyone want to purchase all of the artists featured on it. Kitsune never fails in producing a product that is above par. This mix is not only filled with amazing tracks, the technical elements and little bits that transition one piece to the next are flawless. Each element adds to the overall of the mixtape. If you like most of the artists signed to the kitsune label, this will be a treat for your ears.

●Soup of Germs by Envelopes

▹Evelopes shows in this mixtape their diversity, they are an amazing band and in this quirky at times mix they present a very enveloping experience, the the end you will feel as close to this band as you ever have, or ever wanted. This mix will not bore you in any way, it will stimulate you mind and ears. You will be singing along to the bits you know and thinking deeply on all the other things you hear. In some moments it will be pretty much physically impossible for you to keep your hands from waving in the air, and your head from bobbing along.

✪This mixtape is Commander Petunia's pick of the week!

●Late Night Pop Mixtape by Bark Cat Bark

▹We all know josh Todd is a genius, so for him to do anything that is even slightly average would be out of the conceivable realm of possibilities. With this mixtape he keeps his spotless record for not disappointing. That is all I really have to say about him, the kid can do no wrong. You will enjoy the mix greatly

frYars

frYars, (Ben Garrett) is an absolutely lovely Pop/Electro artist. It’s not often that one comes across an artist that is playful, jovial, and has an almost childlike essence about them. frYar has all of these qualities. His musical ability doesn’t just stop at playful pop tunes that take you back to a simpler time; he also is a master of much mellower sounds, ones that calm and cool the soul. His songs are not just catchy tunes; he is in many ways a lyrical master writing songs that are not just trite melodies with catchy lines, they have substance. In a music world where too often substance seems to be lacking from uplifting music, frYars is a refreshing and up lifting change.

The Objectives and Reasons for Drop Magazine

I have decided to create my own blog. Being away from the music scene of which I am so involved with, I believe I have one of the more unbiased opinions; I'm not looking to please any artist, in hoping they will spot me a free ticket here or there. Like anyone else I am trying to dig through the piles of rubbish to find a decent band. In this mission I have found many that make me giddy just from listening to them, take my worries away, get me through trying times, and some that make me cringe out of confusion, not knowing whether I'm listening to music or not.
Sifting through many music review sites, I have found myself bored, simply 'cause I have already found a great deal of the bands already. In an effort to delve even deeper into the ever widening pool of music, I have created Drop Magazine. The opinions written by the reviewers of Drop Magazine are strictly the unvarnished bias of our own making, the truth as we see it. We are not here to tell you what music to listen to; we are here to provide a forum for you to form your own opinions. We are providing our opinion and, a link for you to form your own. Armed only with our independent minds, and a pissing rubbish laptop, we will do our best.
