We've decided to start a new monthly post here at Demencha.com wherein guest KC-based tastemaker DJ, Brent Tactic, is going to put together a top ten list of sorts from his own personal collection every 30 days or so. Turns out with this first installment, Brent's still on...

Championing his self-described "glo-fi" sound, UK beatmaker Star Slinger, has been putting out a ton of sparkling tunes over the past few months. Pitchfork took notice, then my favorite new music blog (which we'll leave anonymous) claimed Star Slinger as their favorite...
