  Internet Archive: Details: Mike Verde - Hypocenter [kpu074]
Vancouver seems to be turning out a great number of highly creative artists as of late, as our recent releases have shown, and Mike Verde is another example of the great new music that is coming out of British Columbia.
Hypocenter is an EP that has a little bit of everything - obvious jazz influences, intricate breaks and rhythm sections, really beautiful melodies, and an emotional underlay that is evident throughout all of the songs.
Mike's music is based on the IDM formula, but it refuses to let itself be pigeonholed into a specific label or genre, it is simply wonderful music that successfully displays the artist's feelings, thoughts, and originality.
