I’ve been searching for some good trance on Patreon. Sadly Paul Oakenfold isn’t on Patreon (yet), and it doesn’t seem to be a genre that’s well-represented. Eventually I came across one who shows potential. Based in Romania, most of their videos have views in the single or double figures, and they so far seem to… Continue reading 30 Artists in 30 Days #12 – The Dark Side

30 Artists in 30 Days number nine is filmmaker TimH. Tim releases short internet films.

Day five of 30 Artists in 30 Days proved to be a challenging one. While the first four days saw me quickly find an an artist I loved, day five say me listening to lots of nice music (and some not-so-nice) music, but nothing I loved enough to want to support.
