The Original Soundtrack for the British TV Drama Series ‘Butterfly’, scored by Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein, will be out on March 22 – you can listen to a preview on The 405 here.
Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein have scored the new film adaptation of Richard Wright’s 1940 novel ‘Native Son’, which was premiered at this year’s Sundance film festival.
“Emphatically setting a different tone than expected, and beautifully so, is a jazzy, electrified score by Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein that sets an internal, brooding, borderline mournful tone rather than anything confrontational. This alone puts the film on a different plane, just as it helps define Bigger’s inner journey and the path toward tragedy.” –
J-E-T-S, aka the collaborative project between Jimmy Edgar and Machinedrum, have announced their debut album ‘ZOOSPA’ on Innovative Leisure, which will be out for release on May 24th.

The video was directed by Luke Bather who explains how he “wanted the video to echo the song’s ideas of being on tour & away from your friends and family – only really having yourself for company. It can be a fun, rich, colorful and theatrical experience, but a lot of strange anxieties show up along the way.”
