It's time to bust out the flip flops and clean off the cooler that's been on your porch for 9 months- summer is here! And the start of summer means the start of something else annual and highly anticipated: THE INDIE PONG SONG OF SUMMER SERIES. Last year Cassie won and none of us were happy for her. It was a close contest, but after 4 rounds of fan voting…...

Larry Levan's birthday was a few days ago, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to honor the late integral founding member of the dance music community with a brief overview of his accomplishments. Here's a Larry Levan set from 1979 to set the mood: I will keep this to the point (in typical Indie Pong fashion) so please forgive any generalizations that I'm using in the interest of expediency....

Full-disclosure, I first met Siergio way back in the fall of 2002, as a freshmen in high school. Fairly quickly, he established himself as a personality due to his singing, and what I recall as a vehement defense of superstar singer Monica’s vocal prowess. It’s been a joy to hear him pursue his art these last few years. He seems poised to release another excellent set of tunes, if his latest single, a classic R&B slow burner, “Complicated," is any indication of what else will show up on forthcoming LP, “Before it’s too Late” (...

What a just absolute clinic by Rina Sawayama in the first tour date of the US tour for the songs on the self-titled Sawayama. As in, this was her first US show with all of her new content since she blew up and it was a WILD night. People waited in line for five hours (I didn't I was eating a FAT dinner before) and I can only imagine it was completely worth it for them, because that was truly one of the best shows I've ever seen....

Happy New Year, my friends. I made a promise last year to write an article a week. That worked out great for about 5 months. Then, I went on strike. My strike was... well, not great. No one noticed. It wasn't until a friend's bachelor party where Mates flippantly commented "Oh, you were on strike? I literally didn't notice. Haha you suck." At that moment I realized that I am nothing and that my outburst was futile at best....
