| Peaking Lights: The Friction Obsolete Mix Pt. 2 | July 15, 2016 |
Peaking Lights drop another ridiculously good mix.
| Peaking Lights Break it Down | August 18, 2014 |
Just when the world seems to be immolating on an August Monday, Peaking Lights drop a slab of wobbly synth-funk to act as Alka-Seltzer on your skull. Some soothing tropically-tinted California glaze about beaches with a dark undercurrent about breaking free of all that haunts you. Noir vs. sunshine in four and a half fluid […]

Earlier this year, Peaking Lights dropped one of the year’s best records in Lucifer, a kodachrome jungle cruise that was already drunk on Red […]
| The Top 20 Albums of the First Half of 2012 | July 23, 2012 |
20. Future – Pluto [Epic] Pluto is the rare 21st Century Atlanta Rap album that is an album in the classic sense of the word. It’s an experience, an etched aesthetic that demands end to end listens, and you may find yourself scrolling back to Big Rube immediately upon completion. While Drake, Frank Ocean and […]
