...Kingdom, a special vent blows the aroma of freshly baked cookies at passersby, while passing by the Garage on Mount Auburn Street I am usually confronted by a not-as-enticing stench of chowder and beer. Atmospheric music is more common at Disney than at Harvard, but the deafening bass heard (and felt) at any weekend party is appropriate mood music for any college campus. You can top off your day by dressing in your best Pleather and engaging in drunken revelry at Pleasure Island, a nighttime oasis of clubs and bars, or at the Final Club scene...
...tracks emerge from a churning undercurrent of buzzing guitars and shifting rhythms, but few develop into memorable, fully structured songs. “See Yourself” is the rare example that could stand alone as a radio-worthy single—guitars whine into action over a tactile bass line, and the plaintive pop vocals provide a memorable hook. “That Ole Sun” spins hokey lyrics into a mid-tempo tune that would have been at home with tambourine accompaniment back in the Summer of Love. “Hide in the Light?...

Deep Dish exemplified their love affair with the beat by adopting as a motif one relatively simple clip that began as the main beat, then migrated around and through the layers of music...

Anthems like one based around a spoken “Underground” sample were most successful in bringing a raucous crowd response. Deep Dish punctuated an otherwise continuously driving sound every ten to 20 minutes with climactic flourishes that inevitably brought noisy approval and renewed the dancing. Trite as it may sound, diversity was a key component of Deep Dish’s music. Ranging from gruff spoken words to exotic Middle Eastern sounds, their samples were not limited...
