Odds and Ends

EM Pick: zircon
Take a ride in Philadelphia with zircon, the composer and remixer whose breakbeat, techno-oriented electronic music sounds like the best combination of BT, the Chemical Brothers, and melodic yet hard-driven game music. If you like what you hear on MySpace, head to OverClocked ReMix, where you'll find plenty more zircon-style remixes and songs.
