Hey everyone, what a historical weekend that was. Is it just me, or does it feel like we're living in some hyper surreal alternate reality? Because I sure do. It's getting out of control.

One thing I have complete control over is New Noize, and I dropped another killer set. Dave Hanacek sent me the new Four Year Strong single, "Uncooked," and it ripped so hard that I had to open the show with it. The New Noize Song of the Week, however, couldn’t be more different. Off the Stones Throw label, pay attention to the musical stylings of Cornelius & Haruomi Hosono with their tune "Bara To Yaju." It's a gem.

It's no secret that I love all things Japan, so it's also no surprise that I'm into toe, an instrumental rock band from Tokyo. They decided to put lyrics on their latest record, "Now I See the Light.". This album is great, but I feel it needs some time to grow on me.

潘PAN (formerly known as "Aristophanes") dropped a new release, "Pan the Pansexual," a wild album out of Taiwan. It's a genre-bending journey that's all over the place in the best way possible.

So many other full-length albums dropped this cycle, including releases from Girl Ultra, Common & Pete Rock, Cigarettes After Sex, Salute, Pom Poko, and Cassandra Jenkins. I wish I had the time to dive deep into each one, but alas, I'm pressed for time. The New Noize Album of the Week is "Macro" by Brijean.

I've been hinting at something big for a while, and now it's officially official. I'll be at EVO in Las Vegas this weekend. For those who don't know, EVO is the most prestigious fighting game tournament, with finals always held in the USA. I’ve never attended the official EVO finals before, and I am hyped. I’ve got a press pass and will be interviewing music makers within this industry, along with some legends. There's so much more I want to say, but I'll save that for later. Right now, my main concern is the heat – it's 106 degrees as I write this. Thankfully, I'll be indoors playing video games.

The one thing I want to see at EVO is Arslan Ash winning his fourth consecutive title in Tekken. He’s the three-time champ of Tekken 7, and this will be the first Tekken 8 EVO USA championship. It better be Arslan, my Pakistani brother. I've never seen anyone Pakistani win anything, including myself, so I'm heavily invested. If you stream this, you’ll see me wrapped in the green and white flag, praying to my Khuda that Arslan claims victory once more. The FGC has come a long way.

See you in a few Sundays!
