"Living in a Pixel" by Leeza (Electronic Artist from Italy)

If you have always wanted a chance to listen to intelligent techno music, you will want to listen to "Living in a Pixel" by imaginative artist Leeza. Digitally synthesized sounds are combined with looping effects in order to create Leeza's unique electronic sound. No vocals are needed here because the melodic compositions are diverse, with tempos generating a driving beat. Each track is repetitively percussive with strong, savory bass lines. A catchy hook can be found in "Phonetik Boot," where every few measures a new sound is introduced. Pay close attention to the swelling strings on "Ware Town" as they are fittingly incorporated throughout the song. "Living in a Pixel" is an original, innovated, and computer generated electronic/techno album infused with sound qualities that are masterfully arranged.

"Micro Talk" by Miguel Rodrigues (Electronica Artist from London, England)

"Micro Talk" by Miguel Rodrigues is an innovative electronica and house album that is full of funky riffs and soulfully energetic beats. Rodrigues without a doubt has a style all his own, composed of electronica, house, dance, funk, and jazz, and this album puts that style on full display. The listener will certainly experience a sort of serenity while listening to "Micro Talk," as he takes listeners on a journey filled with layer upon layer of beautiful sounds mixed with warm, but active, grooves and beats. The sequences are all very tight and the production is of very high quality. "Blue Ball" kicks things off, and to say it is funky would be a tremendous understatement. It's an excellent introduction track that gives the full taste of the style of tracks to come. "Mr. G" pulls things back a bit and gives you more of a deep house vibe while still maintaining Rodrigues' style. The title track "Micro Talk" wraps things up and features some clever horn work and a bit of sex appeal. Those that enjoy discovering unique electronica artists with a multitude of influences will love "Micro Talk" and should waste no time in picking this one up.
